Hi Ankita Sinha, I think every things is fine. Are you represent whole wikibooks community of all language or only english wikibook? as per global user contributions , I can find 57 edits in English Wikibook as your contribution, no other wikibooks. I think, it is better for you to represent English WikiBook. And also I would request to you please follow the India Community Consultation 2014#How will those delegates be selected and discuss on-wiki as per requested. Thank you.Jayantanth (talk) 22:54, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Anivar? Again this poser? [1] :-(--Praveen:talk 08:26, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have given my word to my family that I will join them for the European trip during Eid-ul-adha. We have scheduled the trip from 3-8 October. I will not be able to attend the community consultation as I will be holidaying with my family during that time. I am interested in knowing the key points of discussion and the conclusions drawn. I strongly suggest that a summary of the discussion be posted on meta and all Indic mailing lists for the benefit of users like me who cannot make it in person to the event. All the best for the community consultation and I hope that everybody have a productive discussion. I will be delighted to provide any feedback/comment over mail or on-wiki if that is needed. --Netha Hussain (talk) 18:01, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
