I have been editing and creating articles in Malayalam Wikipedia since 2013. My contributions can be seen in other wikimedia projects such as English wikipedia, wikidata, commons etc.
I have created more than 200 articles (total 780+ pages) in Malayalam Wikipedia and 4 articles in English Wikipedia. Majority of these articles are based on current events.
4900+ edits in Malayalam Wikipedia and 5600+ edits in global. Edit counter. All my edits upto this moment are made using a mobile phone.
I have participated in many editathons such as Wikipedia Asian Months, International women's day editathons, Geographical Indication editathon, Wikipedia Thousand wiki lights etc in Malayalam Wikipedia (links : TWL, WAM2017, WHMIN16, 14th birthday editathon, WAM2015) and created many articles and edits.

Support type

What type of support you need

Laptop
Internet

Reason

Why do you need this support (Internet and/or laptop)

I have been using a mobile phone to edit Wikipedia since 2013 (account creation). It is very difficult to utilize my editing skills with a mobile phone of small screen size and a slow internet connection (2G internet). My phone is Samsung galaxy Star (GTS5282), a 2G smart phone with limited facilities. It is very difficult to edit in a small screen interface. I cannot buy a laptop due to insufficient financial background. If I get a laptop/computer, I can contribute more to Wikipedia

Future activities

How will you use this in the next six months?

I will create more articles and more edits. I shall continue to participate in editathons. I will participate in 100 Wikidays challenge. I will contribute to wikipedia to my level best.

Despite his highly limited means of facilities (due to lack of both the appropriate hardware and internet connection and free time, being a college student), Arun has contributed tremendously to Malayalam Wikipedia in the last few years.I strongly support and endorse his application.
