Redirect to MCLI. Good point. Both Sheldon Pollock and Murty Classical Library of India already have a short section on this petition, which covers the relevant points. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 11:15, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

First time I am reading a vote by the page creator, "Redirect". You and Kautilya3 worked on this page.--Greek Legend (talk) 00:22, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Murty Classical Library of India, where the corresponding section can be expanded a little. I have always had my doubts about this article. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 15:44, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you edit Greek Legend's edit, using the phrase "I"? Mike V may also be interested to know why. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 13:24, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops! I have no memory of editing anything other than appending my own comment. I have no idea what happened.HemaChandra88 (talk) 07:33, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, let's assume good faith, and guess that you corrected the intro with good intentions. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 07:38, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@JJ: If you look carefully, you'll see that the text was not infact added by HemaChandra88 but existed beforehand itself [1]. The diff parser as usual misinterpreted the text block as a new addition and messed up the highlighting. The User:Cacycle/wikEdDiff gadget is much more accurate.

The Masked Man of Mega Might Weird! Thanks for that info.. HemaChandra88 (talk) 09:49, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You're right; I was wrong. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 11:50, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
