hi,
I was looking at the nominations page and can see no nominations
relating to women who played a role in India's history. The edit-a-thon has
been organised in honour of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiWomen%27s_History_Month and
aims to contribute articles on women in history, While it is great
that some of the names have come up from contemporary names and the group
can select a name, it would greatly help to work on articles from women in
history.
warm regards,
