Comments

[edit]
  • Ashokan edicts, which have special significance in view of the message they convey, were found in his vast empire in several languages and scripts. What do you mean, found in his vast empire? There is a confusion here between time and place. Dr. Blofeld White cat 11:13, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • You have the tendency to use the word "vis-à-vis" quite a lot. This word is not used much in English speech, in fact I cannot recall ever hearing anybody say it. It is more common to say something was "adjacent to" , "directly opposite" or the english words face to face rather than the french saying.. Dr. Blofeld White cat 12:05, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the comments. These have been addressed now.--Nvvchar (talk) 23:56, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rename?

[edit]

Would not Ashokan Edicts in Dehli, or similar, be better? Johnbod (talk) 01:30, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Agreed.
I saw the review observations just now. I will make changes and also reply in the next two days. Thanks.--Nvvchar 13:01, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
