Latest revision as of 16:17, 25 December 2024

Reiterating as much for myself as for others that for the next several months I shall be working on three articles, Mandell Creighton, Company rule in India, and History of English grammars. They have been on my backburner far too long. My time for all other activities on Misplaced Pages will be severely restricted.

This user is aware of the designation of the following topics as contentious topics: India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan They should not be given alerts for those areas.
