message: I'm not going to edit this while its under office protection, but when its unprotected, could someone please remove the image at the top?  It is not fair use in this article.  Thanks, --RobthTalk 02:28, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm sure he was joking. An office action really was made, I assume it has something to due with Billy Blythe's comments above.--Cúchullain t/c 04:27, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why office action? 

message: I don't think this is controversial, but per instructions I'm posting it here before making the change: The character's name is spelled "Kapoor" rather than "Kapour." I will change this in a few days if there are no objections. Andrew Levine 21:49, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The character page also reflects this change.  It's been a merry two months.  I think it should be changed. Hbdragon88 06:25, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Changed. Conscious 15:31, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spelling of character name 

message: Info regarding "upcoming" show The Office is out of date and the link links to the wrong version of the show (the UK version).
Tempest 13:55, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In late 2004, it was upcoming. But I can see the confusion and I wouldn't dispute a change. And I think the latter should be written as "the American version of British TV series The Office." Williamnilly 15:57, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Out of date 

message: I made two minor changes to the article today; I added the page to :Category:Indian Americans, per someone's suggestion above, and added Kaling's country of birth (America).--Cúchullain t/c 04:33, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Minor changes

message: In the first paragraph on Mindy Kaling, one of the links about Kelly Kapoor links here when it should probably link here. Is that supposed to be this way? Kaori (Please sign my autograph book!) 01:03, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps it used to, before a separate page for the character was created. I fixed the link.--Cúchullain t/c 05:00, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[:Category:The Office cast members]] 

message: That this page is still locked down for a specious "office action."  Several editors have made several requests to the "Foundation" asking them to unlock the page, or for a reason why it remains locked.  To date, none of those editors have received a reply.  It's time for an answer. Eleemosynary 15:53, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have brought it up with a member of the Board.  It is being looked into.  --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 00:50, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  An utter joke 

message: The page has been unprotected, as it seems more stable now. Please keep an eye on this for unreliably sourced information -- when in doubt, remove. Also, please add this to your watchlists and any high-priority watchlists as appropriate. Kat Walsh (spill your mind?) 01:05, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Unprotection

message: The article itself lists the episodes Kaling wrote, so why is there a separate section with the same list?  I think the section should be removed. --711groove 13:31, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 17:28, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: List

message: Is it really such a good idea to list all her appearances on the various talk shows (Conan O'Brien, Letterman, et. al.)? NVSBLmonster (talk) 00:19, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It's unnecessary. --PRBlaster (talk) 15:08, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Talk show appearances in filmography 

message: This page had been a pretty decent article until 65.107.28.180, an IP address which resolves to Los Angeles, added a huge amount of PR and fluff to the page.  I've reverted those edits.  -- PRBlaster (talk) 15:07, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

message: I don't know if it's worth adding a mention, on the main page, that there's a burger named after her at Mr. Bartley's Burger Cottage, in Harvard Square ("with provolone cheese, grilled peppers, and sweet potato fries")  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.174.189.24 (talk) 17:06, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

message: WP:BLP states that any personal-life claims about a living person must have reliable-source citations. This is one of Wikipedia's most stringent policies. Moreover, per WP:BLPNAME and a 2015 RfC, we do not give the names, birth dates or other details about minor children unless the parents themselves or their representatives release such information to the public. Kaling has not yet done so. When and if she does, then we can include any information about any children. --Tenebrae (talk) 01:46, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: It could probably be mentioned Kaling dated her "The Office" co-star B.J. Novak and the fact that both their characters on the show had a similar relationship as their real life one.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.224.197.239 (talk) 09:41, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
