Need for a laptop
Dear friends, I'm here to raise a discussion on the requirement of a laptop for the user group. Prior to founding this user group formally, I was associated with the Dehalvi Wikimedia User Group where I arranged the Deoband workshop during February 2020. This workshop is one of the major things that serve as the background to the formation of our user group. We often have to meet students around the Deoband Islamic seminary and having a specific laptop for group will prove to be a great aid in this. We require the device to store the historical books, associated lengthy PDFs, to aid our calligraphic project, and other various works.
As I manage the major issues of the group, I thought to request a laptop from the CIS, and to keep it with myself (off course with the consent of the whole group). I invite you all to contribute to this discussion. I've already helped promote two major articles to Good Article status on the English Wikipedia. My own laptop has degraded since last year, and is full of books and historical stuff, and it is not possible to store much stuff in this. I request you to support this request.

Support I was thinking from last few days to remind you with this. Thanks for raising the request. Having a laptop would be highly beneficial for us. Browniewikipedian (talk) 16:27, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Support If we are given a laptop, it would be helpful in managing the workshops easily. Attendees can be easily taught about editing Wikipedia. Ofcourse, a nice help to store the documents and books, which are subject to copyright and cannot be uploaded to any other Wikimedia project. Laptop will prove to be great helper to the future initiatives of the group. Khaatir (talk) 04:20, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- Support, Laptop is definitely a great aid to our user group. It will make various things easy. Workshops can be conducted easily. It will become easy to edit and operate on Wikipedia Hasan2271 (talk) 07:08, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
