cleanup required

This article still needs more cleaning up. It needs better wikifying, and some sections are difficult to follow.

Is the long list of external links valuable? Could it be trimmed to a few high-value links, or grouped to help a reader decide which ones to follow? --Scott Davis ^Talk 07:35, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is this article really useful?

Wikipedia is *not* an instrument of publicity (and propaganda?). I happen to be from the place where this gentleman is from, and I haven't heard of him. I strongly urge the editors to purge this meaningless article. If this sort of a thing goes on, you'll have every other guy putting up his 'profile' on Wikipedia. This is *not* orkut! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.254.232.182 (talk) 21:48, 14 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Usefulness of this article

None hears of the 'instruments' behind the Church establishments. St.George's Grammar School, Wesley College and other institutions in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad were established by the Church of South India and had existed since the last two centuries. Rakesh Sharma was a product of St.George's Grammar School. Dr. Victor Premasagar was Bishop-in-Medak, of the Church of South India Asia's largest bishopric. The Queen of England, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II during her visit to Secunderabad in the eighties had celebrated her birthday in Secunderabad in Bolarum Church - the service was officiated by Dr. Premasagar.

One wonders why some unsigned person chose to remark on Priest's. Is is that priest's who render selfless service should not be focussed or brought to the limelight ?. Preethi Evangeline 16:15, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article is worty of inclussion but it needs a complete rewrite. -- SECisek (talk) 14:21, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reverts

When you revert, are you not aware that you are omitting Honorary Titles and Academic Offices - that's for succession boxes.

As the the textual matter, you seem to be totally unaware that you are again omitting major textual matter.Pradeep 18:04, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The older version of the article violated numerous wikipedia policies - it read like an advertisment, used purple text, had CSI on the see line instead of denomination, etc. The re-worked version is an improvement on the version you keep restoring. What do you want in the article? Perhaps we can work out a NPOV here. -- SECisek 18:23, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Misuse of Wikipedia

This person is virtually unknown even in the place he is supposedly from. A quick straw poll among Wikipedia users from Andhra Pradesh or Medak would confirm this. If this gentleman is well-known in his diocese or congregation, good for them. Wikipedia is not an place for free publicity. If, as one Preethi Evangeline seems to suggest, they are interested in publicizing his apparent good works, please do so, but not through an *encyclopaedia*.
