[edit] Education?
I don't see the need for this column in this list. If others see this, please comment. (I have posted a note at the userpage). Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 21:09, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi,
I saw your reversion to the prior edit. Why did have to remove the education column? I think to have a proper understanding of the nature of the Indian presidency, the education column is a necessity. Look, their political affiliation is common knowledge. Everyone knows that the person who gets the maximum votes across party lines, eventually wins. So what? Must not the public have a right to know whether their president earned their degrees from? Even if a president is a rubber stamp, the common man needs to know the academic institutions that produced the rubber stamp president!! Must you deprive Patna University of all credit if Laloo Prasad Yadav becomes the president six years from now?!
Thanks,

- If someone wants to know the president's education, then can check that under the respective biography. We need to retain only the most relevant information here. Please see List of Presidents of the United States which is a FA. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 00:55, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
- I have removed the birth place for the same reason. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 01:32, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
May be we should come up with something similar to this template. That would allow for the list to be sorted and stored in many ways and keep this main list simple. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 03:06, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
I created the following articles:
There are many more red-links on this template. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 21:10, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the new articles. Maybe they should be linked with the main article on President of India. Also I am not entirely sure that Giani Zail Singh went to Delhi University. Maybe the names of universities should be given only as the university and not the college awarded their respective degrees. I am not sure which university Govt. Arts College Anantapur was affiliated to at the time when NS Reddy studied there or of Sykes Law College when BD Jatti was a student. Also the degree awarded with year awarded could be put in separate columns.

[edit] Pls correct the webpage.
- Moved from /Comments
Mrs Pratibha Patil is infact 12th President of India and not 13th as shown on your site.
The acting presidents and repat term presidents are not counted as new presidents.

- There have been 13 presidential elections till date. The list is numbered according to the election which puts Prathiba Patil as the 13th President of India See [1]. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 20:08, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Party Affliation
Technically speaking the President of India is not affiliated to any political party. The party affiliation should be removed from the article.--Shahab 13:04, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- Party affiliation was sourced from www.worldstatesmen.org. If he/she belonged to a party, shouldn't the reader be informed? Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 07:35, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pls correct the webpage.
If this is a list of presidents I think so Pratibha Patil should be numbered 12th but if it is a list of elections then it must be specified in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Donrub (talk • contribs) 17:59, August 25, 2007 (UTC)
