I wish to withdraw this request as I am about to get an apple laptop in a few days. Therefore, remove my name in order to give chance to another deserving applicant. Thanks for all who supported my request.
I do not know the procedure to withdraw. May be this page could be deleted by an admin. --Uksharma3 (talk) 02:15, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What type of support you need

  • Laptop  Y
  • Internet

Reason

edit

Why do you need this support (Internet and/or laptop)?
The laptop I use now (Acer Aspire 4739Z) is more than 7 years old and it has defects. As the keyboard is not working, I use an external keyboard. The fan is noisy (was replaced two years ago). The battery has to be replaced.

Future activities

edit

How will you use this in the next six months?
I am a senior citizen staying at home supported by my children. I contribute articles to both Tamil and English Wikipedia. When possible I upload images related to Tamil films to the Commons. I also manage a group on Facebook that is devoted to the hobby of listening to old Tamil film songs. As some persons who are directly or indirectly connected to the Tamil film industry are members in this group, it also serves me as a source to get information about old Tamil films that I use to create, develop or enhance articles in Wikipedia.

Community discussion and endorsements
