Possible Copy Vio?[edit]

Pl. check http://www.indian-elections.com/keycontenders/maneka-gandhi.html or is it possible that the above website copied frm wikipedia? ---Gurubrahma 14:08, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's a clear copyvio going by the fact that the external website had this text at least as far back as June 25, 2004, whereas this article was started only later here. Hopefully, we'll reword the text. -- Sundar ^{\talk \contribs} 08:44, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsense![edit]

Ms Gandhi is not a "prominent" politician nor an etymologist nor an environmentalist. Cruxit 08:08, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

She's won by record margins many times under different party tickets. This fact is supported by sources in the article. Same about her being an environmentalist. We never said she's a prominent etymologist, but only that she's authored books on etymology, which can be verified from the link to amazon site provided in the article. -- Sundar ^{\talk \contribs} 08:15, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
