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)

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)
