Hi Praveen,
This thread is getting out of hand since the very first message. I tried to
keep quiet, but it's getting on my nerves, sorry.
If you want to discuss the general merits of a scholarship system, of the
goals and the criteria that belong to it - great! Then do that. You could
ask the scholarship committee what criteria they used, and ask them kindly
to explain to you how they applied them. You could give some thought to
what a scholarship system should aim to accomplish, and then consider how
those two match. Might it be that you subconsciously assume different goals
for the program than others do?
By the way you frame this discussion, you get very much across as mosly
being jealous and that your primary goal here is that you get a scholarship
next year - and that you're more than happy to drag colleagues through the
mud to accomplish that. Maybe this is the case, and maybe this is just an
unfortunate interpretation.
Either way, the result is that you end up only discussing primarily
personal circumstances.
I suggest we stop this discussion for now, let it cool down, and that you
try again in a more structured and constructive approach in a month or so -
keeping the talking points above (or others, as long as they are strategic)
in mind. In the mean time I would kindly ask the moderators of this list to
take action.
Kind regards,
Lodewijk
(Disclosure: I received a scholarship this year from the WMF)

I was wrong that [redacted] get scholarship since
last decade
You have already been told "It would be incredibly inappropriate to
discuss a specific person's eligibility in public like this", but persist
in doing so.
Last decade was 2010! It was just two years. There are people in this same
thread trying to make intentional misdirection hinting edit counts.
Someone implies that my future applications will be invalidated. Why are
you not going after them? Why don't you get the whole picture? If wikimania
mailing list is not the right platform to tell that we as a community don't
get any advantage from wikimania, kindly show us the right place!!
I would love to see some explanation instead of harassment and threats :-(
Without wanting to comment on the merits or otherwise of your general
points, if you persist in naming individuals in this context - especially
as you have now admitted making false claims about individuals - then I
suggest that your posts should be placed on moderation.
