[Wikimediaindia-l] Anniversary event in Hyderabad

[Anirudh Bhati]

I am surprised that no Wikimedia volunteer from Hyderabad has taken notice
or objected to this.

Similarly, as I had mentioned to Steven on his WP10 user talk page, the
Bhopal event is being organized by a user who is faking his credentials to
gain mileage out of the Wikimedia Movement's good name.

More information available here:

Yours sincerely,

Anirudh Bhati
