Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Is there any easy way to add photo link to wikipedia articles?
Yes, I do. I have been working on UploadWizard for quite some time now and learnt quite a few things about its usablility ;) However, I need to work more on this proposal.

Hi, Sometimes it's a funny thing to read a Wikipedia article. For instance, read the Tanu Weds Manu [1]. Quote: Upon release, the film performed well at the box office particularly in Delhi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delhi, Indorehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indore , Bhopal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhopal, Kanpurhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanpur , Lucknow http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucknow and East Punjabhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Punjab ,[6]http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tanu_Weds_Manuoldid=548180707#cite_note-6 hence was dubbed in German http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_language titled *Tanu Und Manu Trauen Sich*. Also look for Music by in the infobox and you will know the reason behind the Divine Music I hope someone will edit that page soon, but that was really funny.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Ads Injected into Wikipedia?
Hi, I finally got hold of the source that caused this problem. There is an extension called I Want This in chrome which does this evil work. As per my investigation, this extension is not installed by the user. Maybe we should notify Google that extensions are been installed without permissions. I have attached the JS file that causes this ad injection and also the HTML code that is been injected. Also note that this extension not only shows ads from Inkfruit or Jabong but RedBus.in also.

parameters may help identify the problem (also, I'm not sure if Inkfruit is aware of this campaign). I've copied my friend here in case there are further questions he could help answer.
