about 15,000 articles on various
subjects. It is ever expanding too.
Enriching and strengthening this free
online information bank would be
useful to the future generations. Won’t

such meaningful efforts?

[Wikimediaindia-l] Wikipedia lesson in Maharashtra class 7 textbook

[Pradeep Mohandas]

hi,

Was very surprised to see a lesson on Wikipedia in my brother's 7th std text
book today.

Picture - http://twitpic.com/40b7oj

The content is concerning Wikipedia - compares it with an encyclopedia,
details about volunteers contributing to Wikipedia, talks about the presence
of Indic language Wikipedia, talks about vandalism.

It has the following sub-topics:
1. Introduction
2. What is an encyclopedia?
3. What is Wikipedia?
4. How is Wikipedia created?
5. sidebar: general info on Wikipedia wef September 2009
6. sidebar: How is Wikipedia different from an encyclopedia printed on
paper?
7. vandalism
8. Wikipedia policy
9. Request an article

warm regards,
Pradeep
