[Wikimediaindia-l] COIL : Are " foreigners " deleting Wikipedia's India content?

[Srikanth Lakshmanan]

Very true Tinu, Most people just dont get policies right. I am sure its a
standard practice by experienced users now to use a {{Welcome}} template,
but very few users actually go through them. I think a better, fun,
interactive way [read quiz/survey] of reaching out the wikipolicies will
help. Probably this can be a criteria to make the user autoconfirmed. That
way we could have fewer users leaving after their first page being deleted.
Just a thought.
