Talk:Makers of Indian Literature

Copy-editing

• Hi Gog the Mild. Hope, you are keeping well. If you have spare time, could you do some copy-editing and close paraphrasing in this draft. Only first two sections: "Background" and "Monographs". If you are busy, no problem. :) --Gazal world (talk) 20:00, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Queries

• "the Indian language". Do you mean 'an Indian language'? Gog the Mild (talk) 21:42, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

@Gog the Mild: I meant 'Indian languages' (there are 24 official languages in India). --Gazal world (talk) 12:24, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

I thought that it was 22, so I am now better informed.

• You need to add Wikilinks for each of the languages at first mention. Gog the Mild (talk) 21:51, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Done. --Gazal world (talk) 12:24, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

And done. Shout if I have messed anything up. Gog the Mild (talk) 22:08, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Could you rephrase the first sentence in "Background" section.? The name of the series was decided first and then the monographs were started to publish. As written in the old version: C. Rajagopalachari, who was requested to write on ancient Tamil poet Thiruvalluvar. C. Rajagopalachari was only requested write, but in fact, he didn't write the monograph. --Gazal world (talk) 12:24, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

I had thought that already clear, but I have tweaked to try and make it more so. Ley me know if it still doesn't work. Gog the Mild (talk) 14:57, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you Gog the Mild. Please also see the new article Encyclopaedia of Indian Literature. --Gazal world (talk) 15:25, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Do you mean that you would like that article copy-editing and close paraphrasing removing? If so, see MOS:QUOTE "While quotations are an indispensable part of Wikipedia, try not to overuse them. Using too many quotes is incompatible with an encyclopedic writing style and may be a copyright infringement. It is generally recommended that content be written in Wikipedia editors' own words. Consider paraphrasing quotations into plain and concise text when appropriate". You might want to paraphrase those two lengthy quotes before I start. Gog the Mild (talk) 16:02, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Yes Gog. I want that article copy-edited by you. I will ping you after trimming the quotes. --Gazal world (talk) 16:13, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Gog the Mild. I have removed one lengthy quote from Encyclopaedia of Indian Literature, and kept another quote as it is. Can we convert this quote into indirect speech? The article was rephrased a bit by editor-friend User:Nishidani. If you get confused, check the original version here. As per your convenience. No hurry. --Gazal world (talk) 21:21, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
