I’m quite happy. Today Kailash made his very first edit on Marathi Wikipedia. I was almost pushing him to do this for the last two to three years, and finally he did it. He created his first article about Ambhora, a small village in Nagpur district, famous for its confluence of five rivers. This article is yet a stub; you can have a look at it here (Marathi content).
I mailed him a little manual this evening on basic Wikipedia editing and formatting as per his request. He chose the subject and wrote it on his own. We solved the little difficulties he had via phone. As it was a learning experience for him, it was a learning experience for me too!
Kailash made my day today!

Mayur, the strikethrough is done by another user who thought otherwise. We are discussing the facts and edits with him, we will correct it according to consensus. Happy
