message: *About the notice that the page is inactive: this page appears to be inactive as it contains most of the issues which any editor interested in the matter may require for his/her guidance. Accordingly, further discussion may not have taken place. Editors like me are continuing to create at least stubs about the districts of India. --Bhadani 13:19, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Are there any naming conventions for districts and towns with the same name. Most districts in India has a town with the same name in it. For example there are two articles in wikipedia called Kottayam and Kottayam District. There is a lot of redundant information in these two pages. Is it necessary? I believe we should discuss and implement wikipedia guidelines for indian town and district articles. If this discussion has already taken place please direct me to the same. --DuKot 20:38, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Let's put this through a vote:
what nonsense is this? to vote ont the notice board? you can also vote on your userpage and invite your friends. Tobias Conradi 23:19, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: And why do you have problems with the vote being placed here? This notice board is meant to discuss India-related topics, the ideal place for such a vote. Secondly, I don't need to set my userpage or invite friends over. Please note that we are seeking a larger mandate, and are following all wikipedia procedures of fair resolution. As the opposing party, I though it would be fair to invite you over here to share your opinion, and so have messaged only you. I don't see the need for you to be so obstinate and defensive.

text: It makes lot of sense to have the vote here; else, people would turn back and say, "you held the vote on your user page and invited your friends - it should be in a more public place etc." ;) Anyways, polls without discussion are evil; not polls per se. People who vote here would obviously have a look at the discussion above, before voting. Or may be, should we call it a straw poll? --Gurubrahma 04:43, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: you can also vote on your userpage and invite your friends. read: to vote on the Indian noticeboard is similiar as to vote on a user page. Anyway, I don't know why vote without discussion or analyse the matter, compare: Talk:List_of_Indian_districts#X_District  Tobias Conradi (Talk) 11:05, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

message: The following discussion is copied from WT:INB. Please respond there to keep the discussion centralised.
I think we should retire templates for the various Indian wikiprojects such as , ,  etc. and replace them all with . It has various advantages over the others.
*We can rate the articles - the rating counts appear on the WP:IND page as we do so.
*Each of the above child projects can get exposure as the template can incorporate their names as well.
*This will guide new people and other interested readers to a centralised project page and help us recruit better for the projects.
*It will help rejuvenate the WP:IND. It has the lowest no. of members of all these projects.
These are just some thoughts. If there is agreement on this, we can start by replacing the templates on the project pages with the  template. -- Lost(talk) 18:18, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
