[edit] Be part of local user categories as well
Hi Indian Wikipedian citizens, I think we should also become part of our coresponding local categories like [[Category:New Delhi Wikipedians]] to collaborate more effectively and locally. This will facilitate meetups like Bangalore Wikipedians meetup.
I am now seeing the (positive) trend of more and more locally relevant articles are being added to wikipedia and (thankfully) such pages have started surviving 'non notability criteria', thus it becomes more important to be part of such categories which can be used to enhance and maintain local information as well. Global categories/pages like Wikipedia talk:Notice board for India-related topics can be fine for discussing topics spanning regions (e.g. 14'th Lok Sabha, Hindi Film Industry, Indian Railways etc) but not for state/city wise information, for such local data its better to use discusssion page of corresponding page (e.g. discussion page of Jhansi) and/or corresponding page(s) category (e.g. [[Category:Jhansi]]) and/or corresponding user category (e.g. [[Category:Jhansi Wikipedians]]) Viki POV: I see city/town wise Viki (Wiki) Clubs emerging out of wikipedia and such effort will help there.
