Fair enough. That said, that is no reason not to try it in India or other specific locales, right? So long as it ties in to specific outcomes that WMF and WIP have lined up for the larger program - in this case, visibility for Wikipedia and driving new editors. > at one point, they just disappear for a few months, re-start and stop.

There always are and sitting on the outside, it's hard for me to justify one over the other. That said, have the metrics they reported and based on the numbers Anirudh posted point to an engagement level that is on par with, better or worse than for the casual drive by editor? If better, than, IMHO, the question is whether that acquisition cost and time worth it over the medium term. Thank you.
