Hi,
I am working with a journo on a news article related to Wikimedia
Fundraising and donations from India. Hope at least some of you already know
that India in the top 6 donor countries to the Wikimedia Foundation. (

[1]).
10,488 contributions and $193,657.88 . These are approximate figures based
on stats available. Still it is great news.
The reporter would like to talk to individuals to understand why
they donate to Wikimedia/ Wikipedia. So if you have donated to Wikimedia (
however small or big ) and if you filling to be contacted/quoted by the
press, please contact me *offlist* asap. Both regular editors and users are
equally welcome.
Remember to send your contact info ( Name, Mobile, Email , Place,
Editor/User) to me personally and not to this mailing list. Please note that
list mails are publicly archived for ever.
Thanks
Tinu Cherian
