message: I think the page would look much better if we reversed the chronological order. Say we introduce her as CM; then we can go to early life and upbringing, education and so on right up to what she was doing before CM. ? Autumnleaf 22:53, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Is the Smt. really necessary? Since we're already using Dr., isn't it redundant, or is it standard to use multiple honorifics in India? --Dante Alighieri | Talk 17:06, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Phrases like "complete failure" strike me as problematic. However, since I have zero information on the issues involved, I must leave it up to more informed Wikicitizens to figure out what to change. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 17:07, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Is someone able to provide the correct pronunciation for her name and include it? I don't know the correct IPA spelling, but I understand the h is silent or at least it doesn't make the "sh" sound. If pronounced how it looks... it's just bad. -Eaglescout1984 17:33, 8 October 2010 (GMT)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eaglescout1984 (talk • contribs)  
:Why is it bad? Only from your point of view. For all you know your name could sound like all kinds of things in different languages. 82.32.184.4 (talk) 02:45, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: English is a de facto universal language, not to mention the secondary official language of India.  To imply otherwise with rhetoric like "only from your point of view" is silly.137.165.171.208 (talk) 04:41, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

text: Sure enough I see from your IP address that you're in New Zealand (hello to everyone at the Victoria University of Wellington). The actual story is that somebody had a big laugh at her name, with a racist tinge (saying it was "appropriate because she's Indian"), and this person has a record of making racially charged remarks about people. No doubt she has plenty better to do than deal with the kind of inane abuse her name gets her. 82.32.184.4 (talk) 02:45, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Mrs. Dikshit made a statement that she was not upset about this, but the issue became a minor national political issue in India because of perceived prejudice.  Her name (शीला दीक्षित) is not pronounceable by people who only speak English, but for those who want to try, the "sh" sound is actually a retroflex "s."  "Dikshit" is how it is transliterated but most English speakers would better pronounce it "Deexit." Blue Rasberry 15:00, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I am not against using India numbering systems, but since this is in English shouldn't crore/lakh figures be at least translated into English numbers for the vast readership outside of India? I know what it means, but other articles use the English system of thousands and millions.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.73.22.113 (talk) 05:08, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

message: This wiki is conspicuously deficient in Shiela Dixit's life (professional) from 1958 to 1978. The wiki starts rather abruptly in 1978 when she was more than 40 years old.
Can someone please add information on her life prior to that to make this wiki  better? Naturally, supported by reliable citations. 
Thanks
