[Wikimediaindia-l] Featured Wikimedian of the Month - July 2017

[Yohann Thomas]

Dear Community

I am pleased to announce to you that Agastya Chandrakant is one of the
first featured wikimedians we have announced who is primarily into Wikinews.
Please find the excerpt below. You can also find the full article on our
page - wiki.wikimedia.in

*User:Acagastya*

*Agastya Chandrakant from Surat, Gujarat is an editor on English Wikinews
under alias of **Acagastya* *,
currently studying in The National Institute of Engineering, Mysore. *

*He is 18-years-old and has been editing Wikimedia Projects since 2014,
from his days in high school. He has more than 8,000 global edits and also
holds the review rights on Wikinews. On Wikinews, every article has to pass
the review before it is published. Agastya has written more than 200 news
articles on Wikinews. He is amongst the very few Indian editors on
Wikinews. *

*Calligraphy, reading, and photography are some of his hobbies, however,
after academic commitments whatever time he gets for himself now, he
devotes it to Wikinews. *

*Agastya believes there are lot of things happening around us in various
fields -- from crime and law to science and technology. Some events affect
a certain group of people. Some affects other groups. As a news reporter
his tries to cover news for everyone, ranging from different subjects. *

*Agastya hopes more Indian community members to contribute quality photos
from the events around the country on Wikimedia projects, and hopes they,
as an Indian, make decisions and act so that secularism, freedom, and
humanity can co-exist. *

I would like to thank Abhinav Srivastava for getting us in touch with this

I am also proud to announce that Mr Krishna Chaitnaya who got newly elected
to the board of WMIN will be taking forward the Featured Wikimedian of the

Awesome. I am very glad to see editors from Wikinews project are being
appreciated. It'll surely encourage other Wikinews editors from India.

Many congrats Agastya. Keep up good works.


Thanks
