Dear all,

some key questions. For me it was a brilliant learning experience. So, most

Hi,
I just read from the IEP talk page in en wiki that IEP program has been
cancelled for the next term.

I'm also surprised that you think we are ploughing ahead -- we are not. We

Hey Pradeep and the rest of you,
What I think was my biggest take away from the GLAMcamp is: GLAM and
Outreach cannot be separated. Similar holds for expanding the India
Wikipedia community. While doing Wikiacademy or workshops or clubs or
meet-ups, the idea is to spread the word as much as
hi Bala,
Could we also have some idea on how we can help with the cleanup that
was needed? Is there a category in which these articles are placed so
that we can clean-up the articles?
I have heard about the clean-up being needed and felt that I could
offer some assistance.
warm regards,
Pradeep

Yes through his account he has about 850 articles. The actual number is
