message: Hey, somebody wants to engage us in a fight over lakhs and crores over at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers). I fear I might be the only one arguing the Indian side, so do join in if you can stand it. (I hate wiki-arguments, they're always so tendentious.) The user in question feels that it is "absurd" for Wikipedia to use numbers that "nobody outside of India" understands. (And what do people inside India matter? [Not to mention Pakistan and Bangladesh?] One-fifth of humanity – how trivial!) QuartierLatin1968 19:53, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: Another user who saw my work on Bengali grammar asked me if I could help out with Bhili language. It was originally a nonsense article, but has been cleaned up and expanded. However, it could still use a lot of work. Unfortunately, I know nothing about Bhili, but if any of you do, or can find information on Wikipedias in other Indian languages, could you please try to improve it? Thanks! — Knowledge Seeker দ 08:11, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Good work with Bengali grammar. I know nothing about Bhili. If there is content, I can help with formatting etc. A good language article should use Wikipedia:WikiProject Language Template. Using that was the first step that I took to getting Tamil language featured. --  09:43, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
Thanks, Sundar. It still is very incomplete but I'll be slowly adding to it. Regarding Bhili, the template is a good idea but the problem is that no one really seems to know anything about the language. The box on the side is longer than the article. Well, thanks; I'll keep poking around to see if I can find anything. — Knowledge Seeker দ 09:59, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: Could some knowledgeable person please look at The name Gill which is on votes for deletion at the momemnt. As far as I can tell they are an important tribe or subcaste, but I wouldn't know how to verify the information in the article. Kappa 10:32, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: The Mahatma Gandhi article is on the FARC for some POV reasons which are not clearly stated. Maybe people can clear it up on the talk page or on FARC. kaal 23:40, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The nomination is really weird, the link provided appears to be to a movie review rather than anything else (actually Gandhi is spelled as Ghandi in the url for the article), Most of the review assumes that Gandhi was a typical Hindu and does not seem to cover a lot of area. It is true that some negative aspects (most of them were related to Mahatma Gandhi's experiments and most quotes are taken out of context) are not exhaustively covered. But I think in the space provided for an article, we can best cover what good he did, than some conjectures and second guessing his intentions. --IMpbt 01:22, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
