The '''Bharatpedia community''' is the community that creates and maintains the online encyclopedia [[Bharatpedia]]. Editors may be known as '''Bharatpedians'''.

==Current Editors Statistics==

{{Project editor graph}}

The English Bharatpedia currently has [[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFUSERS}}]]<ref>This number is dynamically updated with the [[BP:MAGIC|magic word]] NUMBEROFUSERS</ref> [[Project:Why create an account?|users]] who have registered a username. Only a minority of users contribute regularly ([[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFACTIVEUSERS}}]]<ref>This number is dynamically updated with the [[BP:MAGIC|magic word]] NUMBEROFACTIVEUSERS</ref> have edited in the last 30 days), and only a minority of those contributors participate in [[Project:Dashboard|community discussions]]. An unknown but relatively large number of [[Project:IPs are human too|unregistered Bharatpedians]] also contribute to the site.

==Motivations for contributing==

{{main|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 [[Project:Community portal|Bharatpedia Community]]. The term "Bharatmedian" is also widely used to include contributors to all the projects supported by the [[Project:Bharatmedia Foundation|Bharatmedia Foundation]].

==Contribution styles==

{{See also|Bharatpedia:Bharatpediholic|label 1=Bharatpediholic|m:Conflicting_Bharatpedia_philosophies|label 2=Conflicting philosophies}}

Some Bharatpedians [[BP:WC|welcome newcomers]]; some Bharatpedians [[BP:KC|award those whom they feel deserve awards]]. Some upload images or [[BP:FFU|help others do so]]; some work on history articles; some [[BP:TYPO|clean up grammar]]; and still others [[BP:HG|work]] on [[BP:TW|reverting]] [[BP:VAN|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 [[Help:Using talk pages|Talk]] or [[Project:Administration|administrative]] pages, are sometimes called exopedians. A multitude of views and other contribution characteristics are represented well by common Bharatpedia-related [[Project:Userboxes|userboxes]]: [[Project:Userboxes/Bharatpedia]].
