Telugu is not a national language of India. Hindi is a national language in India. We only list English and Hindi in the India header because they are the only two national languages.

Telugu is a regional/state language. Listing all of the languages of India in the header would be pointless as India has thousands of languages. WhisperToMe 19:27, 27 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Everything that I said, you said. "1) Hindi and English are only the official languages to be used by the union govt." <-- That is what I meant by national

"6) Union govt is not same as India" - What you MEAN is that the Union government's official languages do not necessarily match the language habits of the actual Indian people. I am well aware of everything you said.

Listen, we cannot put Telugu at the front of the India article. We know everything you know, and we chose to have English and Hindi at the top only. WhisperToMe 22:33, 27 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

At this rate you will not convince us of your point of view. I feel that you do not understand our reasons for limiting it to the two national languages (And, no, Hindi has a HIGHER status that Telugu) - Please stop editing, or else your account may be blocked.

I'm going to have to revert this, because: 1. You accidentally disabled one wikilink, and... 2. When one says official languages of country X, it is implied that they are the officially-recognized languages of the federal/national government and not of local governments.

Please use Talk:India to press your case. This is your last warning.

Well, the federal government chose Hindi and English (this is what I meant by a "higher" status) - this does not mean that the common people necessarily speak the languages. See, the word official means that the governing body recognizes those languages. "Official" does not necessarily reflect the reality in the country. WhisperToMe 05:25, 28 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

"then why not make it explicit ? why leave room for guesses ?? and it is all the more important for a country like India."

Because it is expected that a person well-versed in the English language would understand the word "official" - IF this is the simple English Wikipedia, you would have to say everything. WhisperToMe 07:19, 28 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on India. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors.
