The 1500 DYK Creation and Expansion Medal
Lets just guess that the average DYK gets read by 100 people - that means you have a readership of 150,000 people. I think its more like 1000 per DYK appearance so that means that your words have been read by over 1 million people and thats just on the first day of publication! There must be multi-millions of people who know a little more about Asian settlements, buildings, people and artefacts then they would have done without the efforts of Nvvchar. I think the President of India should give you a prize, but until then do have this DYK medal. Great respect for your efforts. Thanks from the Wiki and its many readers.

Hi,

Could you please explain this edit? Thanks. Adam9007 (talk) 16:11, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

  • Adam9007Yes. Mudgal is a village article in which the fort is explained but without any refrences. Forts in India are a separate topic. I am now writing an exclusive article on Mudgal Fort as it deserves one. Probably Karnataka has the largest number of Forts in India and I have already written many articles about them.--Nvvchar. 01:20, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
  • Adam9007 As you have put the dab link back, pl tell me if I should go ahead and write a new article of Mudgal Fort in view of its standalone importance.Nvvchar. 10:16, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
