[Wikimediaindia-l] WikiProject MiniBiography of Indian Professors

[BalaSundaraRaman]

Hi all,

There's a new gift from Pulkit Gupta for Wikipedia's tenth birthday. A few days 
back, he got in touch with me through a common friend.
As a regular reader of technical articles in English Wikipedia, Pulkit saw the 
big shortage in the coverage of academicians in India.
He wanted to fix it and had ideas for collecting data about professors to create 
articles. I pointed him to the relevant policy pages on notability etc., and 
helped him create a Wikiproject 
at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_MiniBiography_of_Indian_Professors.
 He has done a lot more groundwork forming a team of volunteers and enlisting 
the support of his professor at IIT-B to objectively frame notability 
guidelines.

Let us welcome Pulkit and please support the WikiProject and help them reach 
100% coverage in the coming year.

Cheers,
Sundar
