[edit] Rudyard Kipling bibliography

I've suggested (and tagged) Rudyard Kipling bibliography and Rudyard Kipling: Collected Works for merging, and pointed the discussion link to here. Are there any concerns or suggestions, regarding this proposal? I was thinking that all the content&structure should be preserved, but presented in a single location. (See the 4 Featured list bibliographies, for examples of what it should be working towards.) Thanks. -- Quiddity (talk) 20:56, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Rudyard Kipling connection with scouting

I understand that at one point Rudyard lived next to Baden Powell. That must have been a reason for the connection between him Rudyard and scouting. Can anyone confirm this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scoutruud (talkcontribs) 21:00, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Reginald Dyer fund

The Reginald Dyer article states thast the fund was raised by the newspaper the Morning Post. It is possible that Kipling may have initiated that fund but at the very least there should be a citation that Kipling "started", as opposed to, say, contributed to the fund or the statement should be reworded. Dabbler (talk) 15:10, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright status of his works globally?

Are his brilliant works now in public domain? If not, then when? 193.166.138.62 (talk) 09:21, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

[edit] British Raj links

The links to the British raj etc. are more specific to the time and locations in this article. More general ones such as India are more about the modern republic which does not cover some of the main areas in which Kipling lived and worked. Dabbler (talk) 12:45, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Please also not the discussion in Archive 1 about the use of Mumbai and BOmbay and the final agreement that this article should use Kipling's contemporary names, not the modern ones. Dabbler (talk) 02:16, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
