I have supplied several in-text citations but, owing to my limited technical knowledge, I fail to insert the footnotes below the article. Any help will be welcome. Thanks --172.208.5.136 17:15, 13 January 2007 (UTC) SORRY. THE MESSAGE ABOVE WAS FROM ME.--BobClive 17:17, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Intensive Care Unit
Okay, fellow ICU "residents," this one will take some major surgery. The subject matter is way out of my league, but obviously the article needs major cleanup. Lots of redlinks for names whose notability is uncertain. Paragraph breaks are greatly needed. Someone with knowledge of history on the subcontinent would be a big help. Maybe we need to call in a specialist. Anyway, folks, let's get to work. Realkyhick 06:27, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- Dear Realkyhick, As an expert on the subject, I can humbly state that I have been working on the pre-Gandhian freedom movement (1893-1918) in British India since 1955, have successfully defended, in 1985, a PhD dissertation (supervised by an internationally famed French Professor) and published several books and a few hundred papers. Agreeing with your diagnosis, I believe that a technical cleanup will most certainly improve the patient's case. All the best.--BobClive 06:26, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

- Article is definitely beginning its recovery thanks to BobClive's helpful edits. I am going to go through it and make the English style more encyclopedic, deleting a bit of detail as I go. If I introduce any errors or remove details others think are important, please revert my edits. Itsmejudith 20:18, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
I have removed REDLINKS from this article. Kathleen.wright5 10:18, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
I have added Internal Links to this article. I think any further work will have to be done by an Indian specialist from Wikipedia:WikiProject History of India Kathleen.wright5 16:14, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- Nothing seems to motivate the doctors for this patient under observation, though efforts have been made to improve its state.--BobClive 07:12, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

- It's hard for non-experts to suggest improvements at this stage. I would think that the merger question must be sorted out next. After that, a historian's eye would be very helpful. Would you happen to know, BobClive, whether there is a recent general history of the Indian independence movement that deals with the subject in some detail? Thanks.

Dear Itsmejudith, no history book in India ever mentions such marginal characters like this, for a simple reason: the fact of having existed and acted according to their conviction (which preceded and prepared the field for Gandhi's non violent method). In my quest for Truth in History, I keep on insisting on their undeniable contribution, trying to save them from oblivion, so that Future may decide what to do with them. I think some more considerate enthusiasm will be required on behalf of fellow editors/users to understand my perspective.--BobClive (talk) 08:18, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- My comment is that I think the subject of the article is notable. The encyclopedia should take a world-wide view and Indian Independence was one of the most important movements of the 20th century. There are already many references. We need to work out whether they are all of good quality. They need dates adding. Itsmejudith (talk) 17:44, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
