Wow Nvvchar!

		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.

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