Dear Indian Wikimates,

Global Voting Percentage is 10%

Indian Wiki's are relatively better,
Our Kannada is 13 out of 32 votes ==> 40%
and therein lies an opportunity.

Growing the Contributor Base &
Growing Voting Percentage

However, Even with 100% voting, India might not be able to make a dent/mark.

Requesting Veterans to suggest better strategies to get unheard voices
(many terms Indic/Global South/South Asia, .) do get a representative
on the board.

By Next Year, Hope this thought gathers momentum & things will look better.

-Regards,
Mallikarjuna S J,

Hi Pavan,

Thank you for your note.
It was good to see Indian wikipedians like you stand and put up your 
candidature.


I wish you the very best in your continued wiki endeavours.
