Nice findings, if these things are included in our presentations during Outreach activities, lot of misconceptions would get clear, and people will definitely know more about it and love it. Thanks. On Fri, Dec 30, 2011 at 9:58 PM, Srikanth Ramakrishnan parakara.gh...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks

Thank you Arnav. I think it is good when you have 10 sources saying that with 32 lanes, the Delhi-Gurgaon toll booth is the largest in India, but better when you have a picture of it. -- Regards, Srikanth Ramakrishnan. Wikipedia Coimbatore Meetup on February 12th.

You know, I'm really surprised that this is happening only in 2012. I'd've expected it sooner, like 2010 or so. Offtopic note, after the runaway success of WP taketh Chennai, wy back in 2009, I know, most of you would've forgotten, I tried organising one in Bangalore, which never took place. I

The only major reason that my use of Commons has gone down is because I don't think that I'd be doing justice to the article with a pic taken from my camera (2 MP) of my mobile phone will be of any help. I do not particularly like my own pictures. Quite a few people have told me that having a

Prad, having a 2mp camera isn't an eligibility criteria here. My initial set of junk came with one of those. I myself didn't like it. But, I uploaded it as there were no other pics. A low per picture is any day better than No Picture. -- Regards, Srikanth Ramakrishnan. Wikipedia Coimbatore

Yes. The pictures which I upload come in the 2000 odd by 1000 odd resolution. Which fits in snugly under 800 kb. There are exceptions though. -- Regards, Srikanth Ramakrishnan. Wikipedia Coimbatore Meetup on February 12th. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetup/Coimbatore Aliens invaded Tamil
