 * Yes, join online; we all will. This meetup is "virtual"; none of us are meeting in person! It's for everyone who wants to participate in the Smithsonian meetup but isn't near Washington D.C., New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, or the other cities hosting an editathon at an physical location. Add any new articles started in the Outcomes section of our event's page (I think there are already 2 articles listed). Glad to work with you on this.

Uttanka
In response to your request for a copy-edit of the article Uttanka at WP:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests, I have just read and reviewed the article. You'll see that I made quite a few minor edits. I think it reads better now. I wanted to ask you about something. When you first introduce "gurudakshina", and once or twice after that, you have it italicized, but later, as in Uttanka, and in a caption, you don't have it italicized. I think it is all right to italicize it once, when you are introducing the term, but then use Roman (regular) font after that. If you prefer that it be italicized throughout the article, several more instances of the word need to be changed to italics.

At the beginning of the second-to-last paragraph in Uttanka, you have this sentence:


 * Uttanka then wondered whether he could reach his guru's ashram to hand over the earrings to the guru's wife before the prescribed time.

It's not clear who "his guru" was. I guess his first guru was Veda, but then he got another guru. I presume this is the second one, but I think it should be made clear here.

I enjoyed reading the article. I just wonder if there is a way to make it clear whether Uttanka is considered by most Hindus, or most Indians, to have been a real, historical person or a legend in which Uttanka is presumed to be simply a character, or some combination of these two. The same with Veda. Was he a real person who lived a long time ago or just a character in a legend? (You can see I know nothing about Hinduism, so these are things that can be made a little clearer to a non-expert general reader.) Let me know if you have any questions. Corinne (talk) 21:25, 6 September 2015 (UTC) I just went back and re-read the beginning of the lead, and I realize that it says "in Hindu mythology", and there's a link there, so I guess that's enough. Corinne (talk) 21:55, 6 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much for the excellent editing. I have maintained italics for gurudakshina throughout the article. I have also clarified the sentence as "Uttanka then wondered whether he could reach his guru Veda's ashram to hand over the earrings to the guru wife before the prescribed time." The character of Uttanka and others in the article are part of the Mahabharata epic which is Indian mythology.-- Nvvchar . 01:00, 7 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Nvvchar, I just saw that there are still two places in the article where "gurudakshina" is not italicized, one where the link is and one in a caption. Are you sure you really need to italicize it each time throughout the article and that just the first mention is not enough?  What do you think? Corinne (talk) 00:24, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think the ping is working from my talk page. Did you see the discussion at User talk:Corinne? See especially the questions I posed to you near the end of the discussion. Corinne (talk) 14:35, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi, there was too much detail on two temples for the main article so I've condensed and created articles. Can you add the books in the bibliographies? Trying to find something on education and sport now.♦ Dr. Blofeld  08:56, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
 * There is already an article here Dwarkadhish Temple spelled differently for the main temple. The two have to be merged.-- Nvvchar . 11:11, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Can you confirm In 1861, Dwarakadheesh Temple??? was renovated. I gather you mean that temple? Also a citation and ideally some extra text needed for the bridge.♦ Dr. Blofeld  07:22, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Fixed a reference. Added text to bridge.

Source 3 also a dead link, ref 20 is unresponsive, and source needed for "the existing temple is dated to 16th century" in temple section.♦ Dr. Blofeld  07:31, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Both ref 3 and 20 are live on my computer.

Hi Char, I think there's an error in your lighthouse/postage stamp article Minicoy Island Lighthouse, There's other lighthouses which have been featured in stamps.♦  Dr. Blofeld  15:47, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Please see this reference . Can I post it for GAN?-- Nvvchar . 16:43, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, obviously it is an error because there's photographic proof in of Indian stamps of other lighthouses! Perhaps the source was written before 2012 or they simply got it wrong. It needs to be fixed either way as somebody has pointed out the error at Wikipedia Signpost/2015-09-09/Op-ed.♦  Dr. Blofeld  16:51, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
