Hi Gazal world - nice new picture on your home page. A couple of queries:

  • Is Nari Pratishtha one essay, or several essays?
  • I am struggling with the chronology. Manilal joined the GSU in 1882, "two years earlier". The debates were in 1884 and he wrote the essay(s) then. "Some 2–3 years passed before the essay was published." He came across Comte's work in 1883 and "published his own essay ... the same year". This doesn't seem to add up. (The infobox says that it was first published in 1884.)
  • Is the order of the points in the Summary of any significance?
  • Could you, as usual, check that I haven't lost the sense of anything you have written, or contradicted your sources.

@Gog the Mild: Hi Gog. Apologize for late reply. I was out of my city, and currently I am travelling. I will get back to you tomorrow. Once again sorry. -Gazal world (talk) 18:00, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Gog the Mild: Hello Gog, extremely sorry for my late reply. After long travelling, I reached at my hostel and got ill. Thanks for your comment regarding my profile photo. Here is the answers of your queries.
  1. Nari Pratishtha is one essay, not several essay. The first draft was published in Gujarati magazine. After edition of further content, Manilal published this essay as a book in 1885.
  2. Sorry for confusing about Chronology. The chronology follows: Manilal Joined GSU in 1882 = The debate was organised in winter of 1882 = After that debate Manilal wrote this essay [it is unknown when Manilal started to write this essay and when he completed, most probably it would be during the same year, in 1882. Because the biographer of Manilal wrote that "the essay lay unpublished (for about two years) with Manilal till he came across a copy of Positive Polity by August Comte in 1884 (I just corrected the year from 1883 to 1884)] = Manilal published Nari Pratishtha for the first time (in the same year, 1884) in Gujarati magazine in eight installments = With further edition Manilal published this essay as a book in 1885. I have added 'first publication' year in Infobox.
  3. Is the order of the points in the Summary of any significance? = I don't think so.
  4. You have done it nicely.

Thanks for your concern, Gog. And again sorry for my late reply. Don't hesitate if you still have any query. -Gazal world (talk) 15:14, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gazal world. Never any problem with delays. Wikipedia isn't going anywhere. I hope that you are well now?
I have changed it a little to reflect the chronology. Let me know if you are not happy. And made some other changes so that it is MoS compliant.
Thank you. But you did all of the hard work. You are doing an excellent job of covering many of the highlights of Gujarati literature and it is a pleasure to be able to help you.

Hi Gog the Mild I am very well. Now, the Article looks better. I want to promote Manilal Dwivedi's article to the B level, then A level, and one day to the main page of Wikipedia. Give me some idea on my talk page so I can work accordingly. Thanks. -Gazal world (talk) 16:10, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
