I have been restructuring sub categories under Category:India over the last few week and I belive that the current sub categorizes that remain would adequately cover all India topics. I would like a review and comments from you all in this regard. If we collectively approve this, we can ensure that all future articles get slotted in the correct Category structure going forward. Would greatly appreciate feedback in this regard. I would also like to mention that the root categories under Category:India are displayed in Wikiportal India. Arunram 02:01, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Perhaps your new category structure accommodates this, Arunram, but I've been noticing a number of articles on jatis (like Yadavs, Chettiars, Jats, and everything listed in Demographics of Nepal and Caste) that seem like they should be in a category together. Any objection to such a category? QuartierLatin1968 15:36, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
QuartierLatin1968, please do not create another category, we already have many. Currently these groups are listed under the following:
I would like to seek expert opinion on this and wider opinion. Please list these articles under Category:Social groups of India. Hope that clarifies. Arunram 04:04, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
The current COTW is
History of science and technology
history of science. One of the prominent sections is about Indian contributions. I am wondering if someone here has the expertise to look at the section and correct/expand it. It looks very poorly written and not comprehensive (remember, this is a history of science, not merely Western science), especially considering according to it there have been no contributions in the last millenium.--

Does anyone know what the rules are for using Images produced by the Government of India? There are a number of useful images on India-related (maps of districts from the Census of India, for example) which come from indian government sites, but I don't know whether they are public domain, fair use, etc. Anybody know the answer?

I have just proposed that the Calcutta article be moved to Kolkata. Feel free to add your discussion and/or votes for or against this proposal. — Knowledge Seeker দ ( talk) 08:32, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
The discussion and voting are at Talk:Calcutta#Straw poll on the move of Calcutta to Kolkata. — Knowledge Seeker দ ( talk) 08:35, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I've just finished an exhaustive article on Mumbai. I would like it proofread as I plan to submit it as an FAC later this week. If possible please fill in the red links. Comments and feedback (and images if any) would be appreciated. Note: if editing, please ensure that the page size is <30KB. Nichalp 20:25, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)

Ought someone start a subcategory of Wikipedia: Cleanup that is India-specific? quite a few India-related articles need cleanup, but the Cleanup category is so vast that, when given a cleanup tag, the India-related articles then become hard to sort out.
Some of the sikh pages, including the ones about the
Golden Temple, are very small,
also most of them are pro-khalistan (
Operation Blue Star ,
Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, it needs a whole lot of cleaning and a whole lot of attention.

I've been feeling the need lately for a few new India-related conventions (although my Indian contributions are relatively modest till now). I'd like to hear what the veteran and more active Indian wikipedians have to say.

The India article is in danger of losing its FA status. I would call on all editors to take care of the objections raised. See Talk:India; Featured article removal candidates.
What is needed is:
{{ Music of India (sidebar)}} and {{ indianclassicalmusic}} should be made complementary so that only one is ever needed o a single page. When both are on a page (see Hindustani classical music (and shouldn't that be Classical Hindustani music??) ), it looks way cluttered (though better now that one has clear:both, preventing them from displaying side-by-side).

I've recently put up two articles on rather vexed topics, the Indian Emergency (which is currently the name for Indira's State of Emergency; would people like to move it elsewhere?) and the Mandal Commission. Because these are matters of such controversy, I'd like to encourage as many people as possible to have a look at them and edit them where they see fit. I've tried to strive for balance, but somehow you're never quite as NPOV as you try to be! (In particular, the points of view described in Mandal Commission need attribution; I'll do some sniffing around, but I'd appreciate help.) Thanks! QuartierLatin1968 15:26, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
If anyone is interested in writing articles on Amber Fort or Jaigarh Fort (both in Amber, India), I have some photographs I could add (I've started posting some at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/India). I don't know enough to write them although I'll try to do some research. — Knowledge Seeker দ 04:38, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I've worked on the Goa article, I've listed it on Peer Review. What do you think? = Nichalp ( talk · contribs)= 20:29, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)
Is it still alive? People are voting, but nobody seems to be monitoring for switching current COTW. I wouldn't dare since I just happen to monitor for WP:GO, which now include a listing of current COTW. Circeus 01:47, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC)
