Dear all, dear Tim, I want to extend the "thank you" from the Uzbek Wikipedia community. I let them use their own words (although, translated for the benefit of this list).
user 1: wow, it's great! who has done it user 2: wikimedia programmers user 1; super! real heroes! user 3: thank you, thank you, thank you! user 4: so now we're waiting for google to index uzwiki user 2: it's awesome, i cannot even express how awesome it is user 2: Thank you guys for helping us. And special thanks to Tim Starling. user 2: We're going to introduce Tim Starling day in Uzbek Wikipedia as well I also pinged my contacts at Google, hoping that they can schedule the reindexing soon. Thanks to everyone involved. Rahmat va salomlar!
