Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] On the issue of the maps...
Pradeep told me that there were hardly two dozen. But, I believe that article shall die soon. Also, the map in question, was made by Nicholas right? So why are they after Arjuna and the Chapter?

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] On the issue of the maps...
:) Though in fact we have definitive news sources indicating that only 21 people showed up. (As well as photographic and video evidence from news media who were there). And you're right, it really should be merged with the WikiConference article - I'm not sure if the suggestion has been made on the deletion discussion yet.
