IAC: legal threats and intimidation

Comments by Shyamal Bagchi in April 2022 on behalf of India Against Corruption in this public comment at ICANN was full of legal threats, intimidation, and threats of violence, including against representatives of Wikimedia. Who is this person, and do they have the right to portray themselves as a spokesperson for IAC? Should something be added to the IAC article about this? Mathglot (talk) 01:30, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Sanskrit epigraphy

Hi, all. I've gone about as far as I am able with Draft:Sanskrit epigraphy, so I leave it to you for improvement. The body of the draft is a copy of Sanskrit#Epigraphy with a lead stuck on top, so when released, the section at Sanskrit § Epigraphy should be chopped down to a summary, with a {{Main}} link in summary style. There are lots of images available at c:Category:Sanskrit inscriptions in India to make a gallery with. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 23:00, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Never mind; I released it. Contributions still welcome. Mathglot (talk) 03:01, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
