= My sandbox = This page contains my experiments with Wikipedia. Here I would like to learn about my Wikipedia updating skills.

Why to learn this
Wikipedia is free source of knowledge where one with Internet connection can learn about anything which is present on this site. it's free and accesible as people like me are volunteering to update and refine content available to the site. Thus in a way, I am doing a service which is benefitting society. Along with the process, I also get to learn new things which helps me becoming more learned and informed person.

Why you are doing in Maithili
Maithili is a major language spoken in Northern part of Bihar. Despite having more than 2 crore speaker, Its digital presence is nearly neglegible. Wikipedia, being a free and accessible to all provide a platform to reach such masses who want to learn more about Maithili and content in Maithil. So in a way, I am trying to preserve my Language and improve my own knowledge of Maithili.

What was the major problems you have faced while updating Maithili
Wikipedia's content are generally updated by staff and volunteers. Having Citations imprve Validity of any content. As I said sir, Maithili has quite a less digital presence, Validating with any 3rd party information such as books, website which doesn't come under category of Personal blog, Social Media, is very tough. Along with generally all computer have keypad in romab, but Maithili Keypad are hard to find. writing becomes a huge task. Along with Maithili's own challanges ie not having any standard format of writing style affect general acceptence by other reviewers.
