On Jadavpur Protest Article
That I've seen. I've requested most of the people involved on Facebook to not make willy-nilly changes to the article as that would just stop it from getting featured "In the News". I'm trying very hard to maintain neutrality myself, to be perfectly honest. And right now there might be a huge amount of repetition but that's only because I'm tackling the article in progressive chunks. So what looks like a repeat now will be gone very soon. And I was sort of using this article as a stylistic reference point because it got featured, hence the large lead. Is it really a problem? Because I intend to heavily change the rest of the article with the knowledge of my experience in the movement, backed by properly sourced material. ArkaBlue (talk) 23:31, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Gitanjali translation
Is there a standard complete translation of Tagore's Bengali Gitanjali (ie, not Song Offering) ? Thought it'd be easier to ask you and your talk-page stalkers than do my own search. Abecedare (talk) 17:43, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
- Follow-up: Found this, and though I could not read the full article yet, the answer seems to (surprisingly!) no. This may be the closest substitute.
- Btw, both Gitanjali and Song Offering are a unreadable mess. Know anyone knowledgeable/interested in the area? Abecedare (talk) 18:59, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi, do you or User:Kailash29792 have any films to recommend for User:Dr. Blofeld/Great films on the talk page? Ideally ones from Bengali, Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu cinema. My eventual goal is to make it less anglo centric!♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:13, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Yeah they're mainly Hindi though aren't they? I want some more exotic off the track ones on my list which are recommended by Indian film buffs! Still, there's quite a few Marathi etc ones in there which I'll check out some time.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:38, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Hello Dwaipayanc - re your edit to Talk:Himalayas (Keep the current image)
I like the current image of Everest, but your comment doesn't seem to describe it. "showing variations in the geography and some of the highest peaks.
