About me

I am Ganesh Krishnamurthy, an Indian American, originally from Chennai, living in the metro Atlanta area, United States. I am a software developer by profession. I am interested in topics related to astronomy, biology, geography, history and technology. In the past, I was involved in improving India-related topics, as a member of WikiProject India. I had also helped WikiProject Gastropods with software development expertise. These days, I am semi-active on Wikipedia. I can be reached via a message on my talk page or an e-mail.

I had started actively editing Wikipedia in November 2005, and became an administrator in June 2006. I operate a bot, Ganeshbot and help automate some tasks with it. In June 2006, Ganeshbot created about 5000 Indian town articles on the English Wikipedia based on the data collected from Indian Census of 2001. Ganeshbot has assisted WikiProject Gastropods since March 2010 and has created more than 20,000 snail articles using the data downloaded from the World Register of Marine Species. The bot is ranked #11 on the list of Wikipedians by number of pages created.

I had started the most polluted cities page and continue to update it whenever WHO updates their air quality database.

I had developed the CSVLoader plugin for AutoWikiBrowser and support it on a regular basis. It allows for articles to be created based on the data from CSV data files. It has been used on the Dutch Wikipedia to create more than 300,000 articles and on the Tamil Wiktionary to create more than 100,000 dictionary entries. I had also written the WoRMS and Category creation plugins for AutoWikiBrowser.

Offline, I helped organize Wikipedian meetups in Atlanta and was involved in the formation of the Georgia Piedmont Wikimedians community user group.

  • The Nudibranch of Niceness, For your excellent work on the Conus project, I hereby present to you this much-coveted award. Without fear of hyperbole, this is the single greatest award in the history of the known universe. So, of course, in the field of gastropods, it is a huge deal, and much talked-about. It is the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for malacology. Previous winners of this award include JoJan, Snek01, and Invertzoo, all of whom attained rock star status that nearly destroyed them. As word of this will hit the newspapers within a few days, I suggest getting out of town to avoid the media frenzy. -- Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:43, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

  • A Gastropod Barnstar, This beautiful Gastropod Barnstar is awarded to you Ganeshk, in recognition of all the dedicated work you have put into creating thousands of new stubs for WikiProject Gastropods, using Ganeshbot. Thank you for being so kind and generous. The snails and slugs are applauding. This is hard for them to do as they don't have hands, and also their bodies are rather soft. However some of them are trying to bang their opercula on their shells in order to make a clapping sound! Invertzoo (talk) 18:46, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

  • The da Vinci Barnstar, I consider this Ganeshbot to be the most useful, the most successful and the most professional user of the Wikiproject Gastropods, because it does not only share knowledge by its master GaneshK, but also from its reliable sources and also from other multiple Wikiproject Gastropods members. Actually it is the only biology-related wikipedia bot, so therefore it is the best biological robot. Snek01 (talk) 14:44, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

  • More kudos for our project, A couple of days ago I was doing a Google search to try to find an image of a shell of a species of small pyramidellid sea snail (a micromollusk) that I found in Florida.....An even better image was to be found using the Google search, but only in our Wikipedia article, the image being from the original publication of Dall's. I was surprised and delighted that we have such a nice article and such a nice illustration for such a small and rather obscure shell! Thanks to Ganeshbot and to JoJan!

You have certainly earned it! Congratulations and all the very best wishes for 2013! Invertzoo (talk) 20:12, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
