[Wikimediaindia-l] 1 user. 20 hours. 300 articles

[Holalkere Laxmivenkatesh]

Creating 300 articles in 3 weeks... such news should make us to introspect ;
surely should not be encouraged !

Once the news used be like this. " Dr. Modi performed ....many eye
operations ..." In my opinion although Dr. Modi was a great eye surgeon, and
a great soul-still as for the Eye Operations are concerned he might have not
made justice to his profession. This job is not like crushing sugar cane
crop !

The above views are mine. I don't care whether any one agrees or not !
