Gandhi and South Africa

There is enough mention of Mahatma Gandhi in South Africa here. Gandhi would not have been classified as 'Coloured' under South African race laws, as he was an Indian, although an anomaly of the Coloured category was that (Muslim) Cape Malays were regarded as mixed race.

New pronouns needed

Sure, English does need a second person plural - an Irish woman I knew said ye, which is simpler than yous or y'all. It also needs two forms of 'we', as Malay/Indonesian and other languages in the region have. When I use 'kami' to mean 'we' in those languages, I mean 'me and other people' (fellow countrymen) but not you, whereas if I use 'kita', I could be talking about all of us Wikipedians.

(Some European languages do too, like French 'nous' and 'nous autres' and Italian 'noi' and 'noi altre', although I've never come across the form, at least not in French)

World Citizen userbox, {{User:1ne/Userboxes/User world}}

Hi, I noticed the message saying you're a World Citizen, I would like to invite you to add {{User:1ne/Userboxes/User world}} to your user page if you wish to proclaim it in a more effective way, and this template will also add you automatically to the Wikipedians with World Citizenship category. :) --Mistress Selina Kyle 00:11, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Until the "world" can issue me a passport, I think I'll leave my citizenship untouched. Thanks for the offer, though. Kevin/Last1in 02:39, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the compliment, and thanks for the heads up. I doubt this was meant as an archive, or if it was, it was a rather poor one. An anonymous IP (144.134.7.144) removed material starting with the letter "H" in "There" in The Bearded One's comment of 16:01, 23 August 2005. The IP erased these comments on 11:07, April 3, 2006. I have restored them. Grigory Deepdelver AKA Arch O. LaTalkTCF 05:47, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Restorationism

The Restorationism article is in terrible shape. Amongst its many problems is a complete lack of citations. Any online resources that anyone might have would help in a cleanup of that article. Everything from style and form to grammar needs attention; I'm willing to do a chunk of the work in cleanup, but I don't have the source background to do it right. Please leave info or links here, your help will' be appreciated! Thanks, -Kevin/Last1in 22:00, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I took a look at it, and it seems that, apart from citations, it's not THAT terrible. I agree, however, that it would be better with citations. At the moment I'm quite caught up in other things, and can't really commit any time to this. --Christian Edward Gruber 22:20, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Unfortunately, I don't have any such resources. :( regards, --Christian Edward Gruber 13:27, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I see what you mean. I'll see if I can come up with anything for it, but I won't be able to look at it for a week or so. Joel Bastedo 22:32, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Doh. That's what I get for not proof-reading! —Aiden 05:29, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
