Dear Srikanth, Surely, Will add the links at the end of the mail. The link to Nepali Wikipedia's page is here<http://ne.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%A1%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%BE:Wikimedia_India_Newsletter/2011_June>again. Regarding Marathi and Urdu, I wasn't subscribed there yet. But, have forwarded the mails there and posted on village pump as you suggested. Look forward to sharing Tamil Wikipedia stories.
