Hello CoinIndia! Would you be the author of the CoinIndia website, as your username and recent edits would suggest? I have been a long admirer of your rich coin collection and photographs! If by any chance you would agree to license some of your photographs to Wikipedia (by permitting uploading under GDFL for example) we could use them more freely throughout the site and it would greatly contribute to editorial content. Best regards PHG 06:27, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Hello PHG! I too have been an admirer of your many contributions to Wikipedia. Thank you for your hard work and offering of your knowledge to the world community! I am still a novice on Wikipedia; for example, I'm not sure if this is the correct way to respond to your friendly message, nor am I sure how exactly to sign. I will slowly learn, and am of course very willing to be taught! As for the CoinIndia website, yes, indeed, I am the author of that, and I have always been willing for photographs from the site to be uploaded to Wikipedia. All the best, CoinIndia
Please feel free to ask should you have any questions (although I may not be available for querries during the next 2 or 3 days). I am looking forward to creating the Paratarajas article based in your numismatic material. If you're OK with it, I will upload a few of your coin images (like 5 or 6 of them) under the GDFL license, mentioning your agreement. Best regards, PHG 15:47, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi CoinIndia, OK for the licensing, I will do some uploading with "permission for use on Wikipedia by the copyrightholder". For the Paratarajas article, please go ahead with it! (at this point, all I know from them actually comes from your site, so you are in a much better position than I am to write about them! I will just do some cross-linking etc... from your article). I am really looking forward to it, because it might bring light to other connected subjects, such as the Western Satraps and the Kushans. Best regards PHG 09:26, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi CoinIndia, Since the Paratarajas historically seem to refer to a specific polity, with a lot of dedicated material (specific coins etc...) I think they should have a separate article from the Paradas. It will be OK though to have a a small paragraph on the Paratarajas within the Paradas, with a redirect to the main article: {{main|Paratarajas}}, which will look like: Main article: Paratarajas.
