Dear Smsarmad Thank you for your message and guidelines, which are quite valuable for a new editor-- I am trying to follow these and improve the quality of my editing as I go along and learn the 'Wiikipedia' ropes. In fact, I was in the process of revising/editing portions of the article in question, not with any 'mala fide' intentions but in order to smooth out and make it more readable. As I see it, there seem to be three () basic problems with this article i.e. (a) language related ones, requiring clarity and correct usage (b) repetition of some ideas resulting in long-drawn out passages, which could easily be merged into smaller and more comprehensible units and (c) a requirement for clean up/removal of 'Trivia' in the end, which in effect mars the conclusion to the same. In trying to fix and edit the article gradually, I was only attempting to follow the Editorial guidelines that you also recommended, vis a vis formating et al. However, if you believe that the article is ok as it is, then I cede to your greater experience. Yours Sincerely Khani100 (talk) 22:52, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

I really appreciate the way you took up this issue with me. Actually this article is in my watchlist and I sometimes patrol the articles for vandalism and deletion of content. Your edits to this article involved deletion of some sourced content which made me revert it back. But as you said you are in the process of revising this article with all good faith, so please carry on and pardon me if the reversion made you lose the Wiki Spirit.

My dear Smsarmad I just read your quite competent article as mentioned above, and liked it quite a lot--its especially strong on the FFR in the post-Independence/Partition period and up to date, except I believe the list of the Regimental/Center Commandants at the 'Piffers' home?. I have taken the liberty of making some slight changes, for example (a) adding to the Further Reading list/bibliography; (b) correcting some basic linguistic errors for a better standard English and (c) adding/correcting some of the earlier information re- Sir Henry Lawrence et al. I hope you will not feel that I have impinged on your preserves, as it were, but I sincerely felt that these changes were valuable to improving the overall tone of the article and that I had the relevant knowledge to help do so. All the very best Khani100 (talk) 08:15, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the appreciation. And you rightly mentioned that the list of Regimental Commandants is not up to date since the resource I have got was published in 2002. If you find sourced information regarding this please do update it. Your edits are constructive and really helpful for improving the quality of this article.
