Wikipedia:Online Ambassadors/Apply/Shyamal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following discussion is preserved as an archive of a successful Online Ambassador application.

No significant objections, and brief replies and optional questions were explicitly made an option, so that this feels less like jumping through hoops for experienced editors with strong track records. We don't want this to become an RfA-like grilling.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 18:50, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
