Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [[Brian Horrocks]] not an Indian FA

2011-11-30 Thread Ashwin Baindur 
In the case of Freddie Mercury who belonged to an Indian ethnic community -
the Parsis, had family ties in Mumbai, lived there for a few years, a case
could perhaps be made. But not Horrocks. I cannot say about Cliff Richards.

Warm regards,

While acknowledging all the points made wrt Gen Horrocks' life, I can't
help but feel that it parallels another couple of Britishers of more recent
times who are treated (in some circles in India at least) as locals: Cliff
Richards (born Harry Webb in Lucknow) and the late Freddy Mercury (born
Fardoon Bulsara, early years in Bombay), both well-known entertainers. It
may be OT to the discussion on Horrocks, but it does raise some thought
about what we do and perhaps should take as subjects of Indian interest.
Having said which, I have not participated at all in the India project, so
please  feel free to ignore my suggestion.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [[Brian Horrocks]] not an Indian FA

2011-11-30 Thread Ashwin Baindur 
Thanks Srikanth, but I'm surprised you come across it at all. Brian
Horrocks was a British general, from the British Army (not from British
Indian Arny), did not serve in India, not involved in any campaign where
Indian troops served (except North Africa). Generally famous in the Indian
context for his exploits with the White Russians (Kolchak's Gold) and for
Operation Market Garden (Aacted by Edward Fox in "A bridge too far") but
nothing to do with India except for the accidental fact of his birth.

true, I don't have it on my talk page, but most India editors do stumble

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [[Brian Horrocks]] not an Indian FA

2011-11-29 Thread Pradeep Mohandas 

I think the list should be used more as a helpful pointer and as much 
discussion as possible should be done on Wikipedia itself. I think there are 
more lists than Wikipedians can handle and more time is spent on the lists than 
on editing Wikipedia, which is what we're primarily here for.

warm regards,
Pradeep

I agree more with Swaroop, but since the English wikipedia is picking itself up 
and dusting itself again, we may want one.
