Just to point out Ravi, Wifione, not only has admin privileges, but also
has Edit-filter rights, which is potentially more disasterous if he truly
is being paid by AC.

Ashwin,
I already said discussing in general terms is fine. Nichalp Vs Wifione is
out of the scope of this list in my opinion.

Its only about time, Tamil Wikipedia has WP:SOCK[1] as a policy and was

I think the problem of sock-puppets on Indic languages has yet to come
to prominence. There may be many more malpractices there as compared
to en-WP. Education of all concerned is vital at Wikimedia-l. We cant
be puritans over the scope of the list, excluding something just
because it pertains to a

On the subject of neutrality.
What if the Washinton Post, or New York Times carried out an article
showing IIPM/AC in negative light?
Will they also be categorised as opinionated?
I believe the matter is a semi-domesticated issue. Only Indian companies
are getting sued.

hi,
I think we mean this criticism only in the Wikipedia reference. It's
not as if we're going to catch and hand over this guy to the Police.
Such paid editing lowers the morale of other editors. Efforts must be
made to stop such work that is detrimental to other Wikipedia
volunteers.
Then again
I would only like to remind people that showing some sympathy is not a
bad thing .
Coming from armed forces where there are no second places - to me the
greatest sin is lack of competence, whether in language, wiki-writing,
techniques or otherwise. I was told by someone that Wikipeding was a

What is rather odd is that the 'story' is written as a defense of
Nichalp/Wifione/Wikifone. Possibly some people may have known him
personally and therefore the tone of the article.
I find the statement "They don't realize that, in the long run, editors
cannot be expected to devote their time to
Unbelievable but Shocking !
I am not sure if Wikifone is same as Nichalp, but a look at the edit
history of Wikifone, the editor has some serious interest to protect the
interests of IIPM and its stakeholders.
He seems to even change policy pages to suit his cause

hi,
I do not understand why this accusation is written as a work of fiction.
Whatever the problems faced by an individual, it does not provide
grounds for crimes like theft. If the person does resort to these
methods, has to face the consequences, if found out. I am sure we

Sad. In his time Nichalp was a legend. his edits along with those of
his compatriots gave a solid foundation to articles on India. I always
think that we Indians crucify a man for what is NOT a heinous crime,
yet we tend to be hypocrites in daily life all the time.
For my sake, I would rather weig
This is the story of Nichalp[1], an Indian student from Mumbai who became
obsessed with editing Wikipedia at a young age. He transformed several articles
into featured articles, and became a role model for many editors. He was
