Motivations for contributing

Main article: Motivations of Bharatpedia contributors

The most commonly indicated motives are "fun", "ideology", and "values", whereas the least frequently indicated motives were "career", "social", and "protective" (as in "reducing guilt over personal privilege").

Nomenclature

One could argue that "Bharatpedist" would be a more appropriate name, as an encyclopedist is someone who contributes to an encyclopedia. Bharatpedian, though, suggests being part of a group, community or demonym (a resident of a locality). So in this sense, Bharatpedians are people who form the Bharatpedia Community. The term "Bharatmedian" is also widely used to include contributors to all the projects supported by the Bharatmedia Foundation.

Contribution styles

See also: Bharatpediholic and Conflicting philosophies

Some Bharatpedians welcome newcomers; some Bharatpedians award those whom they feel deserve awards. Some upload images or help others do so; some work on history articles; some clean up grammar; and still others work on reverting vandalism. Many take on all these tasks; some, of course, take on none. Whatever one decides to do, every Bharatpedian is a valuable member of the community.

Bharatpedians who contribute mainly by writing and editing the contents of Bharatpedia, without interacting much on Talk or administrative pages, are sometimes called exopedians. A multitude of views and other contribution characteristics are represented well by common Bharatpedia-related userboxes: Bharatpedia:Userboxes/Bharatpedia.
