Dyan Chand

From Dhyan Chand: statues in his honor. Q: Has no other Indian sportsman have a statue erected? PS Please would you use British English spellings instead of AE, its the convention for Indian related articles. Thanks. User:Nichalp/sg 12:40, August 29, 2005 (UTC)

I can't quote a source on that unique fact, but I remember this trivia from a quiz more than a decade back. He has infact 2 statues, but my information is old so an updated info would be better. And yes, i'll see that future editing in India related articles are british english. but doesn't it create lack of uniformity in the encyclopedia? Idleguy 14:54, August 29, 2005 (UTC)

It does, but I guess in the early days there must have been a protest on the imposition of AE in the encyclopedia. It was decided that articles relating to the country in question would be written using spellings used in that country. I think its written in the Manual of style User:Nichalp/sg 15:21, August 29, 2005 (UTC)

Regarding Khemkaran

Hi Idleguy, thanks for the note. You're right, somehow I managed to miss the C&P of those last two paragraphs. I've deleted back to the revision of 07:47, 30 December 2004, which doesn't contain the copyvio paragraphs. Sorry for missing that, and thanks for the heads-up. --Ngb^?!? 10:13, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Careful on POV

Hi, I just finished editing panchayat, and noticed that you at one point inserted a mention of it as a wonderful system. Whether or not it's a wonderful system, you'll want to be careful on Wikipedia to avoid making value statements like that. --Improv 23:55, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
