John hi. You added a category slotting Namrata Purohit as an Indian expat in the UK. Could you please cite any references here to support this categorization? Thanks. Lourdes 02:49, 22 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

  • Purohit has a degree from an educational institution in the UK. That shows being present there and thus an expat there.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:30, 23 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Ok, thanks John. The categorization in my opinion should be done if the person is currently residing in UK rather than for students. I'll go by your call, whichever way it is. Lourdes 03:42, 23 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • clearly the categorization can not be limited to those currently in the UK. Virtually every category is supposed to be permanent with living people and a few other exceptions. The exact time someone needs to be somewhere to qualify is hard to tell. I would say degree gainibg students always quslify unless they are like Valeri Cordon and come to a country for a 2 day weekend once a month to get an executive MBA. There is a whole set of sub-cats in the expat tree that is American Mormon missionaries in country x. Most of these people spent less than two years in that country unless they are like Gary E. Stevenson who later returned as a mission president and area president. I would generally err on the side of using the category. I think I would even do it for six month exchange students and clearly for people who spent a year teaching in China. The person I am thinking of though then went on a tour through Malaya, India and Egypt and I would not count any of those. It has to be more than just a sgort visit, but not much more.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:54, 23 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
Ok. Sounds fine enough. Thanks for the detailed response. Lourdes 06:02, 23 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Dubious and other edits edit

Hi Lemongirl942. You've placed a dubious tag and removed well cited information claiming news sources like First Post, Huffington Post are dubious or are unreliable. Could you explain why do you believe Huffington Post and First Post are dubious and unreliable? Thanks. Lourdes 04:36, 1 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
