This is the opinion of Prof. Bilimale:
"Dear Mr. Warburg, I have read more than 150 entries written in
Tulu language using Kannada script. Some of the entries are too
short, but there are no factual errors. All entries are written
in Tulu and I strongly recommend these entries should available
for public at the earliest. Tulu is one of the most ancient
language of India having very rich oral traditions and other
unique features. I believe Tulu scholars spread all over the world
will enrich this wiki, and make this one of the most useful and
vibrant site[.]"
I think we can therefore approve this wiki.

Dear committee members,
I have approached the Centre for Internet and Society
(CIS) in India, a WMF grantee, whose Access To
Knowledge program has been supporting and encouraging
the Tulu Wikipedia development efforts, to help
identify a scholar who could verify the content.
Here is their response (I've copy-edited slightly):
We can recommend the name of Prof Purushothama
Bilimale. He holds the
Kannada Chair at JNU, Delhi. A Kannada Wikipedia
article about him is here -
https://kn.wikipedia.org/s/10uo.
His brief bio – Scholar in Kannada and Tulu
languages, ex Prof &
researcher at Kannada Univ, Hampi; ex Director (of
a section) at
American Institute of Indian Studies, Delhi and
currently
Kannada Chair at JNU, Delhi. He was a member of
the Karnataka Folk Academy.
He has guided 8 persons for PhD. Written many
books in the area of folk
culture and literature. He is a recipient of
Karnataka Rajyotsava Award.
Currently he is video documenting folk culture of
Kodagu district.
His email is <redacted> and phone number is
<redacted>. Since he is in some village in
Kodagu district till May 30, his phone may not be
reachable all the time. Same is true
with email.
I [Dr. Pavanaja U. Bellippady from CIS-A2K --AB]
have spoken to him and he has kindly agreed to do
the evaluations.
Since this is a public and archived list, whoever
wants to contact Prof. Bilimale -- please say so and I
will e-mail you privately with his contact information.
Cheers,
A.
