I think it was appropriate, we should have some doses of humor every
now and then and didn't think he meant any harm . The scarcasm tag was

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] New admins on the list

[Prashanth NS]

Dear all,

Thanks for the welcome. Probably, most of you know me more from on-wiki than
the meetups (where I have been terribly infrequent!). Have been busy on
Saturdays with work and have not been able to come for the meetups.

Anyways, just to introduce myself, a bit more formally - Am a
doctor specialized in public health, doing my PhD right now. I am based in
Bangalore and Tumkur. Most of my wikipedia contributions were through
dial-up connections when I was working BR Hills - wikipedia and birds being
my only two driving forces! Have been on the english wikipedia sometime
since 2004 although, I got myself a username only in 2005. I mainly work on
content contributions on the english wikipedia and images (rarely maps) on
commons. I also hold informal wiki-classes in schools and would be glad to
help anybody on that on weekends.

Am glad to help out as a moderetor. Naturally, I have a lot of biases which
I declare on my user page as well as my website. I will of course strive to
not allow them to colour my role here, just as I have not allowed them to
colour my enwiki contributions.

And, no offense taken, Sundar on the overlordship, considering that I am not
planning to take over the
world!<http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/i-for-one-welcome-our-new-x-overlords>
(nice
link that describes the phrase)

Hi,

Some people mistook the pun I used in my previous email.
Just to clarify, Prashanth and Srikanth are excellent choices for this and I 
used the term "overlords" in the same sense as admins referring to themselves 
self-deprecatingly as "the cabal" and such. Hope it clarifies. :)

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] New admins on the list

[Hari Prasad Nadig]

Also,

Since their user pages do not elaborate on the work they've been doing
locally (other than English Wikipedia), I really ought to say few words
about these two prolific editors.

User:Prashanthns was *the force* behind first ever WikiAcademy in Karnataka.
He's a doctor, researcher (on public health) and worked for several years at
the grass-root level in B R Hills, Karnataka.  There's a lot more to be told
about all the good work he's done for the Indian community over 6 years, but
I'll stop here.

User:Logicwiki as you all know has put phenomenal efforts behind meetups in
Chennai, Wiki 10 Chennai and Wiki 10 in Bengaluru.

Both are great contributors to the Indian community.

This is very good initiative. Thanks Hari/ Anirudh.

IMHO, just "Wikimedia India" would have been more appropriate. ( No offence

Hi everyone,

Two new admins have been added to this list.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Prashanthns

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Logicwiki (Srikanth L)

Here's a thanks to these two long time Wikipedians and highly respected
contributors for expressing willingness to take up admin work on the list.

Also, starting today, the description of the list would read "Wikimedia
India Community list" as that seems more appropriate.
