Hi Fowler&Fowler! We have a lot of articles on ] that need to be copyedited for "brilliant prose". As such, WP India does not have a dedicated copyeditor for such a process.

:The FAC process works this way: An editor takes the lead and works on the article. After peer review and incorporating changes, the article will be more or less stable. At this point the editor requests a copyedit for grammar, choppiness, and removing redundancy. Once done, the article is submitted to FAC.
:Unlike other FAC nominations, Indian articles usually see minor activity when on FAC due to the heavy-duty internal peer review which sorts out most issues. We also happen to be one of the most active wikiprojects in getting articles featured.

Greetings, I no longer can keep up the pace. My exams will continue and after that I will be leaving, taking a few days off WP. I have reviewed my future with the Indian mathematics article, and have come to the conclusion that since I am under time constraints and am under such pressure in real life that adequate responses or editing actions on "Indian mathematics" are just not possible for me right now. I can't contribute to it in the manner that I usually would; it would be unethical to the extreme to ask the other editors, who have wished me well during my examination, to wait. The article is under the watch of many good editors and I see and hope that it's quality benefits from the present situation.

Hey Fowler. Regarding your message. The decision has pretty much been reached. The Arbcom only considered banning the 4 Pakistani users who stood up to Indian Pov . No mention of any other user even getting a warning.<br />
A 1 year ban each is in order. Apparently its a bigger crime to question Indian Pov than to make racist remarks against Pakistanis, Muslims and their Prophet, and hijacking articles. It was nice knowing you in particular. I wish you the best.<br />

Because of India's rich diversity, no one image can represent all of India's one billion people. That is why I propose selecting a new demographics image every three months.

==History of Pakistan==
<div style="font-size: 1.5em; margin: 0 100px;">
Hi Fowler. Sure, we could remove the disclaimer if it could be properly incorporated into the lead. The lead leaves several serious problems which need to be resolved. An important one, for example, is the first sentence that says that Pakistan's pre-1947 history "overlaps" with that of Afghanistan, India and Iran. For this to happen, Pakistan should exist pre-20th century at least as an idea in somebody's mind. The word "overlaps" is cited from a ] that has received several unfavorable critiques from reviewers for its "complete lack of objectivity", "dangerous narrative that it will not guide younger historians in Pakistan towards proper national self-criticism", "disquieting", "the official Pakistani point of view", etc. I think the exact situation needs to be explained much more explicitly. The best solution, however, is to follow the approach that reputed encyclopediae like Britannica follow on this subject. That's how begins:
]</div>
"This discussion treats the history of Pakistan largely since the country's founding. For earlier history, see India: History." ] (]) 21:58, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
<div style="line-height: 1.2;">

<span style="font-size: 2em; font-family: Copperplate, 'Copperplate Gothic Light', serif">'''The Misplaced Pages Library''': ''Books & Bytes''</span><br />
Insofar as Encarta is concerned, you might find interesting. The wikipedia article on it mentions people criticizing it for "pandering to local prejudices instead of presenting subjects objectively " If Encarta's version of Pakistan's history has to sound much like a chapter from ] for whatever reason, we perhaps can try to do a better job. Starting "History of Pakistan" from IVC (or any point prior to 1940) is inherently revisionist and POV, but if we have to do it anyway (but why?), at least make it clear to the readers what exactly we are doing. ] (]) 23:11, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

::: Well, I completely agree with the case for ], and that for ] to be merged into ] (to be named as ]. I completely agree with the point of having ], ], ], etc., but History of Pakistan is a very different case -- Punjab and Sindh, it can be argued for example, have been closer to Bengal and Assam than to Balochistan. So in what context would you put Pakistani Punjab and Balochistan together, but exclude Indian Punjab? All these references are coming from the same university ( is affiliated to Columbia, although he also seems to be the chairman of the Department of ] at the Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad; Ayesha Jalal was at Columbia too, where (as an aside) it seems she was denied tenure, which she blamed on an Indian conspiracy, only to be dismissed by the court). Let's try to find out if this idea is more widespread among scholarship. I think the reason we see these people cited everywhere is that these are the only people who are working on "History of Pakistan" as being separate from the History of rest of the region, so whenever an encyclopedia editor looks for authors for national histories, s/he finds them for Pakistan, regardless of whether they are the best people to write the history of that region or not. Sorry, if I am sounding too skeptic here. If you agree, we can focus on the correcting the lead for now, about which the argument remains the same regardless of the bigger issue of content. I think that issue would be much easier to sort out. ] (]) 03:19, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

::::: I agree with much of what you said. One problem with presenting a history of Pakistan, as I mentioned earlier, is that putting up histories of these disparate regions together gives an impression of isolated regions like Baluchistan and Pakistani Punjab being more related than other parts of the same region (Indian Punjab). Such an impression becomes inherently misleading. To give a perhaps silly example, a general article on Anatomy of Mammals makes sense. Articles on Anatomy of Cows, Anatomy of Rabbits, Anatomy of Deers, Anatomy of Whales, Anatomy of Echidnas, Anatomy of Horses, Anatomy of Bats all make sense. But a separate article on "Anatomy of Cows, Bats and Echidnas" sounds out of place. Anyway, reading Ayesha Jalal's "" right now. It's quite nicely written. Read it if you get some time.

==Taking cue from Nichalp...==
Hello Sir. It would be great if we can have you as a copyeditor for Indian articles that are in FAC or are being readied for FAC. Nichalp has told you, ''Indian articles usually see minor activity when on FAC due to the heavy-duty internal peer review which sorts out most issues''. However, lately there have been some India-related FACs that did not go through this usual process of internal reviews. For example, right now ] is in FAC and it was not being worked upon by any user or workgroup. It is almost bound to fail the FAC.

The India-related activities can be found in ], though some parts of the notice board are backlogged. Still, FACs and Peer reviews are usually updated on a regular basis. You can check the notice board and work as you please. Thanks for taking interest in ] and copyediting. Regards.--] (]) 16:38, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

==Re:Delhi copy edit==
Hehe! I saw that "stupid" edit, and understood why you wrote that :) Anyway, I'll try to clarify that medium of instruction bit.

Hi! Thanks for your reply. The AfD is up for archiving so I am not editing there. I have personally never heard of "Indigenous Aryans" ever, as a term. I appreciate your finding of citations. But picking up "Indigenous Aryans" to write an article is akin to picking up "Bush's failures" from "Many of the actions of Bush have turned out to be failure". I bet you will find many more citations for the case I suggest here, still you must agree that an article like ] will be deleted. Anyway, the talk was about "Hindutva propaganda". There is no such scholarly notation for propaganda pertaining to its origin. Propaganda is what it is, and until it is officially classified, creating an article about it is nothing but original research.

Anyway, for what it's worth, I completely believe that Aryans came from outside and Vedas are not as scientific as people claim. I think they were important statements, philosophical or scientific or about traditions etc., which people at that time deemed important enough to pass through generations. I don't think people were using nuclear bombs anytime before WWII.--] 22:54, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

:dab, hornplease, and fowler, how long are you going to cast your pearls before the swinish multitude? Misplaced Pages is for lulz and trolling. Please remember that all your efforts you aim at NPOV and scholarship falls within the framework enunciated by one Larry Sanger. Although he didn't create anything new in the realm of scholarship or in academia, he is the pioneer of the idea of a large scale collaboration over the Internet to evolve an encyclopedia. His ideas made this project a success. Now it has gone to seeds. The experiment which made great strides is now reeling under the concerted attack of the pov brigade. Misplaced Pages can't move on because the retards who run it grovel before the pov brigades. You men try to save it from the inevitable fall just holding off for some more time. What purpose does it serve? Sanger has moved on. The Citizendium is there awaiting your brilliant efforts. You could spend there creatively all the efforts you spend here fighting trolls, casting pearls before the swine. All of you spent a hell lot of time on Hindutva Propaganda, nobody could have questioned the underlying scholarship. But troll they could and troll they did. Socks troll. Admins trolls (Rama's Arrow). And the result? A 13 year old monkey came and deleted it based on consensus. Consensus, mind you! My foot! And Fowler who made astonishing efforts now has to go and ask the monkey to release the material he culled up. Why in the world should you talk with these idiots? What the hell are you doing here men? This is the place for men like bhadani. Transpose the e in beleive and earn a count (while not seeing dozens of fucking bad typos) and brag on the user page in terms of edit counts. Either do as Romans do or get out of here for better places. Doesn't the idea of a place where scholarship is valued and and not treated the same as a monkey's itch interest you? I don't belong there but the idea interests me. The efforts and time you waste here discounting what is spent on articles is (should I use are, fowler?)appalling.] 07:55, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
::well, I don't think Sanger can get his act together. He has great ideas, but he doesn't tick the right way to lead such a project. The requirements for citizendium are a joke. Sure, the brilliant and academic will be among themselves, and that's how they'll stay. And if Citizendium does fly, hey, they can just take my version of an article before the trolls went over it and copy it over there, it's the same licence. The advantage of citizendium, no 13 year olds and no pov pushers, is also its weakness. Do you think it would ''ever'' have occurred to me to research the topic of Hindutva revisionism if the trolls hadn't forced me? That's the motor of Misplaced Pages. So Misplaced Pages gets teenagers with attitude problems. These same teenages do also the tremendous amount of 'menial' housekeeping tasks required to keep Misplaced Pages running. None of the distinguished eggheads at citizendium will be prepared to work as a grunt in the trenches.

Please not that I interlinked the 1947 (a year), changed "colonised" to "colonized" (a spelling correction), linked the word "culture" to "Culture of India", linked the word "history" to "History of India." In the paragraph in the article ] right after the previous example, I changed the word "multiethnic" to "multi ethnic" (a grammar/spelling mistake which you also reverted.) Also, in another section, where it introduces the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government, I linked each one to their respective sections in the article "Politics of India" (e.g.: "legislative" was made into ]). Throughout the article, I have only done these kind of important changes.

It's pretty simple. I download the map onto my desktop, place it on a blank illustrator page, then use the path tool to make paths. It gets even simpler from that point - writing on the map, coloring free form areas and creating buttons etc. are rather less time consuming. And, finally I save it as *.svg.
