R. Nataraja Mudaliar edit

  • Article new enough, long enough, although it must have come from some type of sandbox because prior to June it had another topic but that doesn't really matter. However I have some trouble with "started his career as an automotive dealer" because before that he was selling bikes. So he didn't start his career selling cars. But he was the first Indian to sell cars, which I find more interesting. So how about ALT1: ... that R. Nataraja Mudaliar, acknowledged as the father of Tamil cinema, was the first Indian to sell automobiles before his entry into films?" Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 20:36, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
  • I'm okay with ALT1, but I guess "before his entry into films" is not needed. Vensatry (Ping me) 03:59, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
