Dear all,
Firstly let me begin with tons and tons of apologies as I am terribly late
with this report and in no way can I justify being such late.
Unfortunately, due to various reasons primarily studies and traveling, I
could not come out with this faster.

Hi Dhaval,
Am just curious, being from the non-technical field and all. If there is a
problem with respect to IE7, should the problem lie with Microsoft? I mean,
can the bug be fixed? I mean no offense and if the bug can be fixed, it
should be done, everyone has their browser preferences that

I meant no offence in anyway, I was pointing out the same, that using a

Dear all,
I am extremely sorry that this report is long overdue but as I was busy
with my exams and other stuff, I literally did not get time to compile
this. This is related to the Wikipedia Stall I helped set up in Netaji

My two paise:
Point 1: I myself am a student, and I kind of agree with Srikanth on this
one. Students aren't really interested in learning to edit Wikipedia at a
fest. If I was a newbie, I wouldn't even look at the stall for more than
say once or twice.
A better idea is to have a photo scavenger
you make it to be.
Also, a NO is not the final word, I keep trying and convincing. People
give in at some point. So, be bold and keep trying :)

If it relates to editing English Wikipedia, I can help monitor the
activities of the students online and provide help and support when they
need it. So that they don't end up with copyvios or vandalism.
