Op-ed:Do editors have the right to be forgotten? Should an editor's block history be a permanent "rap sheet", or does Wikipedia forgiveand forget? A reform initiative has begun.
In 2017 - 2018, the Wikimedia Foundation and Google working in close coordination with the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), Wikimedia India chapter (WMIN) and user groups will pilot a program encouraging Wikipedia communities to create locally relevant and high-quality content in Indian languages. This program (Code name: Project Tiger) will:
(a) Support active and experienced Wikipedia editors through the donation of laptops and stipends for internet access and
(b) Sponsor a language-based contest that aims to address existing Wikipedia content gaps.
The objective of the program is to provide laptops and internet stipends for existing editors who need support to contribute more actively. 50 basic model Acer Chromebooks and Internet stipends for 100 contributors are available for distribution. Provided resources are the sole property of the beneficiaries and should be used for the betterment of the movement.
If you're an active Wikimedian, and interested to receive support from this project, please apply. It will take around 10 minutes of your time, and will ask descriptive questions about your contribution to Indic Wikimedia projects.

I also saw templates of talk page ofSouth Point High School (SPHS) of which I am an alumnus myself and have a very high regard personally .. Interestingly the wikiprojects inline in SPHS showed low importance.. but the boldly visible displays said high.. It must be high in the volume and performance of products I has produced.. but Historically Hindu school is no less Importance (NPOV, neither do I have personal conflicts here in absolute sense as well) I wonder if somebody other than the assessing team just simply edited the templates to display whatever they wanted to in SPHS or hindu school ? Can templates be locked rather than the whole page? --Dr.saptarshi (talk)05:23, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
