Hoi,
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.
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.
Thanks,
GerardM

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