Yes dai. We Nepalis definitely need to promote our country in Wiki. I also feel the necessity. The problem, I think, is that we young Nepalese lack knowledge or interest on the properties of our country. I prefer reading english novels to nepali or watching english or hindi movies to nepali. And yet we complain about quality or lack of materials.
The main reason behind this might be the culture we are brought up with. I was given english book when I could read, I watched hindi serials and movies when tv was in my home. Nowadays, small kids don't know the rastriya gaan of Nepal but some theme song of "K series" hindi soap or an item song from a hindi movie. Nepal is losing her identity. Nobody is aware of that.
