Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] wikipedia.org.in
Hi Shiju, wikipedia.in is owned by Jitendra Jain. but he has not put up anything. I guess, finding an indic language wikipedia is difficult from http://wikipedia.org/ from a users perspective. Thanks, Naveen Francis 2010/1/18 Shiju Alex shijualexonl...@gmail.com I don't think http://wikipedia.in/ is registered by any one. Kindly verify. But, do we actullay require this site? What is its purpose? Is it just for listing link to Indic languages wikis. *NOTE:* Some Indic languages like Tamil, Bengali, and Urdu are the official languages in more than one country.

But his condition is that his name must be there in that page. Is it possible for us to give the credit on that page ? I don't think Wikipedians will accept that idea. If that is the case, it is better to go with the current system.

Guys, I believe that the name wikipedia is owned by foundation. If that is the case, Foundation can officially request the InRegistrar to revoke the domain from him.
