Connections

• Satdeep Gill - Meeting with Satdeep Gill, a wikipedian from Gurmukhi-Punjabi Wikipedia was a pure joy. He has a dream to bring nearer our two wikipedias. We talked on the issue and thought what could be possible. I hope meeting with him will be useful for the future of our wikipedias.

• Braveheart - I met Braveheart at Hackathon although very busy but he solved some of my issues. A nice person indeed.

• Dineshkumar Ponnuswamy - with his winsome smile and energetic behaviour won me. He solved one of our wiktionary problem too.

• Niharika Kohli - promised to cooperate with our wikipedia if we have any problem.

• Amir E. Aharoni - This is the man who was ready to offer help anybody. He introduced us new, easy and useful methods for editing. Through visual editing he taught me how to edit in a better way. He wrote some of my problems and solved some before reaching my home. He directed how we could soon normalise our wikiquote, sleeping for a long time in incubator.
