Hi IP  117.198.113.27, I have Undid revision 879481834 by 117.198.113.27 (talk), because Subject getting garland from Prime Minister of India is a more strong picture for the awards section, face is hardly visible in both the pics. Lets discuss, here on the talk page if you still disagree. --DBigXrayᗙ 15:14, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair point. Just that in the other picture, his face is recognizable. Anyway I don't have an issue with either of the pics. Cheers. 117.198.113.27 (talk) 15:19, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, but we already have a picture in the infobox that shows his face. Thanks for agreeing to my point. cheers. --DBigXrayᗙ 15:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

message: Hi, could you expand the "Social work" section? I feel the current text does not do his work justice. 117.198.113.27 (talk) 15:30, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree, you can do this as well as per WP:Be bold. All we need are some good and reliable sources, that focus on his social work without looking promotional. I have got this page nominated on the Wikipedia Main page so we have to be careful about not adding unsourced information. cheers.--DBigXrayᗙ 15:37, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Social Work section

message: Hi User:Editor5454 thanks for your contributions. Almost all the sources mention him as 111 years old. What does his biography or Mutt website mention his year of birth as ? --DBigXrayᗙ 19:37, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. We also have older sources documenting his 100th birthday celebration in 2007. There must have been some confusion at some news rooms in the rush to publish upon his death. — JFG talk 21:33, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree, 100th birthday in 2007 is another strong reason to support the year of birth as 1907. So lets use this discussion as consensus to keep year of birth as 1907. --DBigXrayᗙ 21:38, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

message: I added the category "Indian humanitarians" to this article a little bit ago. Now I see it has been removed. Why? Maximajorian Viridio (talk) 19:43, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello Maximajorian Viridio, Thanks a lot for your contribution of adding  category. It was me who had mistakenly removed your category while doing a revert  to an earlier last clean version that was free from disruptive edits from IP and new users. I failed to notice your constructive edit at the bottom and I apologize for this mistake. I have already restored the said category to the article with this edit. Hope it is fine with you. Please let me know if there is anything else that you would like to be changed. regards. --DBigXrayᗙ 19:54, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
