Well,
If someone (e.g. Tinu) is a English Wikipedian, it'll be a lie to say "I Edit Wikipedia in Malayalam" :)
So, Wikipedians will be saying "I Edit Wikipedia" or will be explaining (which will be answering the questions mentioned in http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Subha_WMF/sandbox1) in the language they primarily edit, so, if you edit English Wikipedia, say I edit Wikipedia in English.
Any more confusions? Please ask Noopur!

it would be good to specify 'in English'. Not everyone might know for certain that the spoken language is English.

Just quipping in, if you say it in English it can mean you edit in
English.
That can be one way of doing it. :)

Here are the answers I have to all of you. @Noopur: nice points, I am including them all and here is draft for
the
community which I will be posting in the respective Wikipedia Village pumps. (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Subha_WMF/sandbox1) @Ashwin, the videos you, Nitika and Swaroop are working will be hardcore outreach videos to teach how to edit Wikipedia. @Konarak, thanks a lot buddy, let us get the footages and we would definitely seek your support for the post production. Moover, we
would
be more than happy if you lead the event to get the videos done in your place from the community members. @Srikanth, the final video will be in Commons and obviously with .ogv format. But the raw footage will be in .mov/avi/mpeg, they are the formats used before editing. After editing we will convert the final video
into
.ogv.
