Dear Community In the Month of October, we were upgrading our server & testing our website, due to which we were unable to announce Featured Wikimedian for October.
But, now that our website is fully updated & we have upgraded our server, it gives me great pleasure to announce that Dr.Vishwanatha Badikana is our Featured Wikimedian of the Month. *Dr.Vishwanatha Badikana** is a Kannada Professor at the Prestigious **St. Aloysius College** in Mangalore.He started editing Kannada Wikipedia in Septmeber,2014 & Tulu in January,2015 as part of Wikipedia Education Programme run in his Institute. He was part of a small team of editors who worked & finally brought Tulu Wikipedia out of incubator recently. * *Dr Vishwanatha mainly write articles on folklore & has written close to 100+ articles in Tulu Wikipedia. He currently working on a unique project where he is writing articles on all the Alphabets of Tulu. Since Tulu is spoken over a small region of across Karnataka & Kerala,he believes that these articles will be useful for students to learn & speak Tulu which will lead to growth of the language.* You can find the full excerpt on the home page of WMIN (http://wiki. wikimedia.in/Home).
