@Nettime Sujata:, the user group would be very happy to support a prolific editor like you, but as we have just finished our previous funding in December and the next grant period is months away, it would not be practically possible to provide internet support right now.

Wiki Exploration project of Sikkim-Phase I edit

Proposed activities edit

This event has been planned to explore the state of Sikkim and its various important places and monuments and heritage structures. For the first time Sikkimm will be included in the Wiki exploration project. The monuments are not explored as much as they should be and there are not sufficient related media in Commons too. Hence a detailed exploration is needed to gather more related media in Wikimedia commons. This will help in providing suppoting media while writing related articlesin Wikipedia. Since Sikkim is a vast state, I propose to conduct the exploration in multiple phases , begining with major parts of East and West Sikkim and to some extent parts of South Sikkim.
