This page is a notice board for things particularly relevant to Indian WikipediansClick here to add a new section
Town and Cities
Any idea on the Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Cities project? It is proposing to delete all the Town and Cities of XXXX state? See Categories_for_deletion#Cities_and_towns_of_countries_and_states

Non-Indians and working on Indian topics.
Is the decision to keep the list of Indians working on India-related topics and others separate a conscious one? What are the pros and cons? What do people think of it? In creating Misplaced Pages:Africa-related regional notice board I chose not to make that distinction. I feel it makes people unwelcome.—iFaqeer (Talk to me!) 00:30, Dec 15, 2004 (UTC)
- I second IFaqeer. We can remove the distinction. -- Sundar 05:46, Dec 15, 2004 (UTC)
- The reason I set it up that way initially was that the Russian notice board I used to copy the things over had it that way. I might guess that it's there to distinguish people who are more likely to be knowledgable from people, like myself, who are definitely less authoritative but still interested in helping out. I have no objections to removing the distinction. --Improv 05:58, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Agreed. We should have no distinction. There are lot of people who might know more about Indian History and India related affairs more then many of us here. How about "India-related articles notice board" ? --kunjan1029 07:33, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I have merged the sections --Improv 03:56, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Lists of leaders and office-holders
We need to
- Add more South Asian leaders to Category:Lists of state leaders by year
- Add more South Asian leaders to Category:Lists of current office-holders
—iFaqeer (Talk to me!) 04:57, Dec 15, 2004 (UTC)
Incense
Does anyone know the principle areas of India for the manufacture of incense or dhoop sticks? --
From the top of my head, Mysore(vasu agarbathis(now acquired by ITC), govt sandalwood factory,etc have their base here). Bangalore, Delhi & Mumbai have some factories too, but i don't know any famous brand mfg there. pamri 06:06, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Christmas
Hi everybody! Christmas is a featured article candidate. I have added two lines about Christmas in India. If anybody can knows more, please contribute. utcursch 09:22, Dec 20, 2004 (UTC)
Andhra Pradesh
Hey all, some random IP just removed a few paragraphs from the article on Anhra Pradesh. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether the removed material should've been in the encyclopedia or not? --Improv 04:29, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Collaboration of the Week
Hey folks, how about starting an Indian Collaboration of the Week? Or better still, an Indo-Pak Collaboration of the Week? utcursch 06:26, Dec 29, 2004 (UTC)
I cant agree more. I am seeing a whole lot of work put in by individual wikipedians on India related content. We must get together and edit collaboratively on one topic per week. I second you utcursch. Let us look for at least 10 wikipedians to support this initiative. We are now 2.
I would like to propose that we start of with expanding the following article... 2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake_in_India. It has grown in content since the last few days. It really needs all our support considering the scale of the calamity. Cheers Arunram 04:58, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- 2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake_in_India is already being contributed to by many people (esp. by you). It's already a great article. I would prefer taking stubs, and converting them to the status of a near-featured article. Neverthless, 2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake_in_India would be a good idea for the first Indian Collaboration of the Week. Good Idea. Let's wait for other people to air their views.utcursch 12:25, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)

Swamis, Sadhus, Gurus and Yogis
Lately, I have been seen many articles on insignificant religious figures from India. Sri Deep Narayan Mahaprabhuji is on Votes for deletion page(Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/Sri Deep Narayan Mahaprabhuji). But some non-Indians are voting keep, because they think that this man is well-known in India. I would like you folks to comment on the notability of these people, as I am planning to move them to Votes for deletion page:
- Dharmsamrat Paramhans Swami Madhavananda
- International Sri Deep Madhavananda Ashram Fellowship
- Mahamandaleshwar Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda
- Paramyogeshwar Sri Devpuriji
- Siddha Guru Sri Alakh Puriji
- Sri Deep Narayan Mahaprabhuji
- Akhandanand, Swami Akhandanand Saraswati
utcursch 07:18, Dec 29, 2004 (UTC)
- Nope. Never heard of them. Pass it on to VFD. Nichalp 20:01, Jan 3, 2005 (UTC)
