message: I'm considering to launch a WikiProject on political parties of India. In any case assistance is needed on the subject. Most urgent is that many of relatively large, regional-based parties make taher stub-like articles, such as Rashtriya Janata Dal, Bahujan Samaj Party, Janata Dal (United), Janata Dal (Secular) and Samajwadi Party. 
Also, see Indian general elections, 2004 or List of political parties in India and fill in some of the red links. --Soman 23:14, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: Since most of us have problems obtaining images and photos, if you know of any organisation/site that provides images on Indian themes on a PD or GDFL licence, please quote the site so that editors may use the images in the future. Nichalp 10:13, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)
:Just 2 cents:
* for biographical articles has a number of photos, including those of Indian personalities. They are believed to be in the public domain, and should qualify for fair use at least.
*  has photographs of Indian musicians that are also believed to be in the public domain, as stated in the FAQ of the site. I also have email confirmation from the web admin. --ashwatha 07:04, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: We have two lists... 
* Wikipedia:Wikipedians/India
* Talk page of Wikipedia:Indian_wikipedians%27_notice_board
I think this is quite confusing. Some users are list at one of these places and are not aware of the other. I propose that we have only one. At Wikipedia:Wikipedians/India. Can I have your views. Arunram 22:28, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
