Linear span
Thank you for your work at this article. And I have a few tips. One is that one should not link each occurence of a concept, one link to vector space per article is enough, if at any time "vector space" shows up again, it should not be linked. Second, variables should be italic, so S or $$S$$ (which show up as S and $$S$$) instead of just S. Thanks, and welcome! You can reply here if you have comments.

Request for edit summary
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this: The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. – Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 15:05, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Portal India News
Shahab, I noticed you have removed the picture again? Could you please explain why? It would really help if you add edit summaries to your edits. The picture need not represent the first news article in the section. It should be a copyright-free image and can represent any of the news items listed. I will wait to hear from you. Thanks, Ganeshk  ( talk ) 07:21, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to WP:India
 Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the India WikiProject! We're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of India.

A few features that you might find helpful:


 * Please participate in any of our descendant workgroups that might interest you.
 * The project has a bimonthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered in its entirety, but several other formats are available.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:


 * Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every India article in Wikipedia.
 * Can you code? The automation department uses automated and semi-automated methods to perform batch tasks that would be tedious to do manually.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! &mdash; Lost (talk) 09:12, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Request for automated peer review
Namaste. Could you do an automated peer review for Ganesha like you did here? I have not seen the automated tool before. How does it work? Buddhipriya 18:42, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

I think user:Dwaipayanc maintains it currently. You could contact him if you're willing to take over. Regards, =Nichalp   «Talk»=  15:33, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Answering your query on Nichalp's talk page: Yes, this was a mistake. I was supposed to change the INCOTW on 15 April, but could not manage doing so. Sorry. It has been updated now.
 * I saw your comments replying my comments in the talk page of Religion in India. Let's go ahead with the plans. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 19:21, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi
Hi Shahab! Religion in India improved substantially during the week when it was INCOTW. Still, a lot is to be done if we wish it to run for FAC. Thanks for all the help. Can you please continue the help so thet the article can be further improved?

This week's INCOTW is Education in India. Please help it improve. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 16:58, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Creating a comprehensive to-do list for this article is tough! Anyway, I shall try. Also, the article is the centre of regular debates. You can see the talk page. Probably I myself won't have much time to edit in the article. Please continue your excellent inputs. Bye the way, have you noticed that Lage Raho Munna Bhai became a featured articles just recently? Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 13:56, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok. Included a to-do list. Two things are of principal importance — summarization, and inline citations. Did some summarization already. Please see and edit. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 17:21, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Seems you are online? How do you feel about the article? (after summary)--Dwaipayan (talk) 10:51, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I see the Hindi Vrsion (Bharat Ka Itihas) in "Humanities" section here. Considering the publisher, the book should be considered as a reliable source. --Dwaipayan (talk) 11:07, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

History of India update
I have doubts on the following text:

"Early Indo-Aryan presence probably corresponds, in part, to the presence of Ochre Coloured Pottery in archaeological findings. The kingdom of the Kurus corresponds to the Black and Red Ware culture and the beginning of the Iron Age in Northwestern India, around 1000 BC (roughly contemporaneous with the composition of the Atharvaveda, the first Indian text to mention Iron, as, literally "black metal"). Painted Grey Ware cultures spanning much of Northern India marks the Middle Vedic Mahajanapadas."

References are not available. Those archeological cultures named have their separate articles, but not well referenced. Maybe we need to delete this section, or just name archeological cultures in as far chronological manner as possible (with refs). Please comment.--Dwaipayan (talk) 19:03, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't have the technical knowledge to build a graphic timeline. However, if we can get the article into a respectable state, other users may be interested/requested to build one.
 * Well, I think you should use that book by Krishna Reddy. Not being listed in the web is not a criterion to judge reliability. Does it have an ISBN? If it does, it can be certainly used as a source, since the publisher is reliable and noteworthy.--Dwaipayan (talk) 19:25, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

History of India is a candidate for WP:ACID
Hello,

The article History of India is currently a candidate for Article Creation and Improvement Drive (shortcut: WP:ACID). Since you voted for it when it was a candidate for WP:INCOTW, I thought you might be interested for voting for it on WP:ACID, in order to help make it an FA. Thank you.
