Talk:Drawning of Marzanna

message: This page contains spelling mistake in its title. Instead of "drawning of Marzanna", it should be "drowning of Marzanna". See the meaning of [drown].
I have also fixed the same misspeling on Marzanna.
Temporarily I added a blank page Drowning of Marzanna as a redirect to this page.
I do not know if changing the page title is possible.
If it is not possible, I suggest moving the content of this page to Drowning of Marzanna, and making this page merely a redirection to the page with correct title.

message: ...to merge the two articles. There is no longer any entity called Mahindra-British Telecom. It is only Tech Mahindra Ltd. So the merged article, as ahs been suggested earlier needs to be merged into Tech Mahindra with a redirect from Mahindra BT and Mahindra British Telecom.
Don't know about the markety stuff but it is not for me to comment as I do not have a neutral POV, being a Tech Mahindra employee. One thing I would suggest is that there has been a lot of agreements that the company has had with some giants, like Motorola and BT and maybe this needs to be put in pure factual terms. My two-bit:)

thread_title: Persian

message: I read in an unabridged Arabic dictionary at my university library that the name derives from Old South Arabian (a Semitic language related to but in a separate branck from Classical Arabic), from the word "maryam" which means a soft-wooled sheep, or something to that effect. Although that does not rule out a common origin with the female name, or even that Old South Arabian was an intermediate so that the term could have ultimately come from "Beloved of Amon" via the sheep being known that way and hence the comparison with a tender, delicate woman; regardless, there is no mention of South Arabian anywhere in the article. I am living in Peru right now and am therefore physically unable to walk over to the Rutgers University library to properly reference this; but if anyone has access to one or more unabridged Arabic dictionaries, please look up the entry مريم and see what etymology they suggest. I think it's important not to omit a very important language in the ancient world. Thanks :)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rcgy (talk • contribs) 01:04, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Soundarya (known as Soumya to close family members) was born in the Ashtagrama villages and was a Tamil Iyer Brahmin. She married her maternal uncle and childhood friend, software engineer G. S. Raghu on 27,April, 2003. She had great dreams of promoting public welfare during her lifetime. At the time of her death, she was about to produce and act in a film titled 'Kamli', directed by K.N.T Sastry. Her wishes of funding welfare activities are being fulfilled by her husband and sister-in-law through the Amara Soundarya Social and Educational Trust [ASSET]. She has developed the entire village of Gangigunte [her native village], Mulabagal Taluk, in the Kolar district of Karnataka. Soundarya maintained an orphanage. Presently, it is being maintained by her relatives. In addition, the school, AMARA SOUNDARYA VIDYALAYA, is maintained by her trust and her own home is now being used as a school.  There are many ideas and concepts that were dreamt and thought by Soundarya and her brother Amarnath for the welfare of the society, being fulfilled by Soundarya's husband and Soundarya's sister-in-law Nirmala using ASSET. She had adopted some educational institutions and given funding for so many educational institutions and their family is continuing funding for educational institutions.

message: A range of hands, notably semi-retired BritishFinance, have done good work, but the article still needs more on structural history, IDA clients over the decades, the industrial estates and business parks, numbers employed, historic issues and how they were dealt with, governance and operations, etc. The IDA in various forms has been critical to Irish development, and deserves a little more coverage, and some images too.SeoR (talk) 13:38, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
