Hoi,<br>There are several mailing lists that are about the English Wikipedia. The problem with including discussing particular English subjects on the Indian mailing list will not help in coming to a consensus in the English language community. My expectation is that when English becomes a major topic, it will drown out much of the language issues that are specific to India and the organisational issues that are specific to India.<br>
<br>It is the same as with a developers list for India. It is the perfect way of ghettoising yourself and effectively become more frustrated and helpless.<br>Thanks,<br> GerardM<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 1 February 2011 10:43, Achal Prabhala <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:aprabhala@gmail.com">aprabhala@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
I only noticed recently that the list description for WikimediaIndia-l<br>
reads "Discussion list on Indian language projects of Wikimedia."<br>
Personally, I find that a bit limiting - given that it (seems) to<br>
exclude English - which is of course an official Indian language, though<br>
not everyone knows that.<br>
<br>
I'd appreciate it if you considered changing the title appropriately, to<br>
perhaps "Discussion list on Wikimedia projects in and about India" or<br>
something to the effect. Others might have thoughts on this too (or<br>
better title suggestions)?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Achal<br>
