Hoi,
One thing we can do is reach out to the minister. I did that on my blog.
When I get a high quality picture, I will blog about it on my blog and I
will propose it as a featured picture.
My point is that our relation with politicians is different from the

Hi,
URL shortners will not improve the search hits.
The above solution allows one to share the non latin wiki url using
English alphabets and Arabic numerals. Personally I would prefer a URL
I can remember and it should help me to identify to where it is
pointing without clicking on it.

Hi,
Some thoughts on SEO for Indic Wikimedia projects:
1. URL redirects / shortners won't help in SEO. First, search engines may

for URL shortening should keep in mind only the usability aspect.
2. Keywords Meta tag is
