Dear sir, you using India map on <INDIA> is wrong and if you use the use only real India map other vice please do't create miss think in mind. And you using wrong Pakistan map <PAKISTAN>.
Like <MADHYA PRADESH> or any of state India contain wrong map of India(Some of part of KASHMIR is missed here and also Arunachal Pradesh area missed here by China side) Why..??
We give you only few days for correction other vice we take a action against you.
जो क्षेत्र विवादित हैं अगर आप उनको भारत में नहीं दिखा रहे हैं तो उनको आप पाकिस्तान या चीन में क्यों दिखा रहे हैं | और पूरी दुनिया में भारत का जो मानचित्र आज है, वही आपको दिखाना चाहिए |
अगर कोई पाकिस्तान सर्च करता है तो उसको पूरी तरह से इंडिया का कश्मीर वाला हिस्सा पाकिस्तान के मानचित्र में मिला हुआ दिखाई देता है और जम्मू क्षेत्र का भी हिस्सा हल्के हरे रंग का किया हुआ है, और जब भारत को सर्च करते हैं तो जम्मू कश्मीर दोनों को दिखाया ही नहीं जाता ( मध्य प्रदेश सर्च कीजिये) |
Thanks and your services is really good and much more help full on study. Thanks for give best support.

Interesting "Warning" given to me by mail ! Did somebody told him that I own Wikipedia ? ;)
Is there a catch all address where the group/organization/chapter members can handle these kind of emails rather than forwarding them to the list ? I don't specifically have anything against the usage of the list archive to track these but having a single alias/address to forward them to might be a helpful thing.
My only intention was to ask the community on how to handle such mails or request.

Point such people to appropriate places like discussion pages , notice board (oops, it cant handle more NOW,but yes ideally). IMO bringing content disputes to mailing list, chapter is slightly Off Topic ish / doesnt serve purpose, simply because they are not governing any content. Its totally different thing if a Wikipedian asks for opinion / comes out of a media post, even then list isnt the ideal place,it only calls for more trolling since people arent obliged to stick to values which when broken can get a block on wiki.[Refer "Socio Cultural relevance of Sanskrit Wikipedia blah blah" some months back]. [[On a seperate note, we havent framed a block policy for the list, but I presume day is not far when we may be in need of it]]
The audience of the list is so spread over that it might be spammy even to discuss a largely relevant issue like this, since its still just another English Wikipedia POV dispute and thats it where as list is for "Discussion of Wikimedia Projects in India".
My 2 paisa.

Even though the topic of this mail is not limited to enwiki, the above statement is true.
But unlike other Indian language wikiproject wikipedians, English wikipedians from India still doesn't have a common forum (apart from the wiki project India page in en wiki which is not used by many users) to discuss various topics related to them. I feel it is a good idea to start another mailing list exclusively for discussing topics related to en wikipedians from India. It will help to bring togther all people from India who are interested in en wiki projects.

Yes, but let this one be English content related rather than outreach, GLAM or indic. Secondly we should not allow WP:5 Pillars to be overthrown. In many cases. the discussions are completely jingoistic or "nationilistic" and we dont want more and more of the same here.
