Khalili Foundation monthly report

The Gulshan-i 'Ishq, now described on Punjabi Wikipedia

Most of the work this month has been on the UNESCO Memory of the World project, which has a separate report.

A volunteer created a new article on the Gulshan-i 'Ishq in Punjabi Wikipedia, translating part of the English article. This is the 66th new article created by this project, and the first in Punjabi. This means there are now sixteen language versions of Wikipedia in which this project has created new articles.

The official collection sizes of four of the Khalili Collections have changed, and I have made the appropriate changes in various Wikipedia articles and on Wikidata.

GLAMorgan reports 4,459,093 image views in December, from 105 different wikis. There are no new image uploads this month.
