The website also hosts an image that appropriates the Wikipedia branding and presents an entry into its pages as an achievement. Is this a certificate issued by Wikipedia? Is this a self-promotion advert produced by/for the family? This certificate was also displayed on the NDTV newsreport by Sam Daniels. If you are intrigued, you might be vaguel amused by my guest post at Kafila.org, “Child prodigies and television news scripts… aaaw!”. Read it in Kafila.org here.
