Recently Jangari proudly told me that his Wikipedia page on Wagiman was ranked as "good" by wikimedia. Well they got that right. Check it out, it's fantastic. Good on you Mali. Give the man a PhD scholarship! He's clearly ready for big things.

And, da-da!
today we learn that it has achieved "good article" status and is "the highest-rated article pertaining to an Australian language on Wikipedia". Go Jangari!
