Your DYK nomination of Swami Kumaranand
Hi, maybe it's just me, but your hook
 * ... that in Maulana Hasrat Mohani and Swami Kumaranand he tabled the first motion to call for full Independence in the All India Congress Committee?

from Template:Did you know nominations/Swami Kumaranand doesn't seem to make sense. If it is just me and it does make sense, please just ignore this. M AN d ARAX •  XAЯA b ИA M  04:30, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Space
Hi! Could you please start adding space after every time a punctuation mark is used; especially in the titles of the article. I have had moved a few pages created by you for that. §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 06:16, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm sure you are aware that in South India, spaces are not used in the 'initials'. This is a case where the practice on Wikipedia contradicts WP:COMMONNAME. For example, whilst The Hindu uses 'E.M.S. Namboodiripad' Wikipedia calls him 'E. M. S. Namboodiripad'. I tried to raise this issue several years ago, but to no avail as many users are unaware of South Indian naming practices. This is also an issue with the DEFSORT, where Western users routinely assume that the last name is a family name. --Soman (talk) 06:42, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I am not aware of this no-space custom in South India. But is it intentional or just improper copyediting? On many occasions Western editors have brought this to WP:INB on why Indians miss out spaces after punctuations or give it before punctuation mark. I understand the presumption of last name as surname. §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 13:20, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I raised the issue again at Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(people). The South Indian practice doesn't work like a Western initials, rather the initials forms a compound. Often punctuation is left out completly, as with AKG, EMS, BTR, etc. --Soman (talk) 13:32, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
