Audience
editWho are the people you want to introduce Wikipedia to?
editTry to be as specific as possible about this group.
I would like to introduce the sub-urban people to Wikipedia.
In what languages do they search for information, online or otherwise?
editRegional Languages or Hindi
In what ways does this group communicate with each other?
editThis can include services and apps in social media, mailing lists, physical spaces like conferences or lectures, or at specific institutions like at a library.
SMS
What are some reasons this group would use Wikipedia? How would they benefit from it, or what would they find useful?
editThink about what they would be interested in reading and learning about; does Wikipedia provide better access to information this group cares about?
Wikipedia provides knowledge and information in the every possible field. The sub-urban people group which I would like to target are most likely to be influenced by the terms of modernization and would show interest on being exposed to Wikipedia and Internet.
