I have seen that you approved the move of File:Mudra.jpg to File:Thai_wai.jpg. Do you also change the links in the 5 Wikipedia articles or does a bot that? Regards, Wouter (talk) 21:05, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Wouter. At first I was hoping, this would be done by a bot. But I changed the links in those 5 articles already.
BTW: I was wondering, why you call this simple greeting a mudra. But ok. No problem. --hdamm (talk) 12:07, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
At that time (in february 2004 I created the page Mudra) I used my photo as an illustration of a mudra for the Dutch Wikipedia and therefore named it mudra. In the German Wikipedia it says "Die Mudra ist eine symbolische Handgeste (Handbewegung, Handstellung), die sowohl im alltäglichen Leben (siehe die Gruß-Geste Namaste), in der religiösen Praxis als auch im indischen Tanz ihre Anwendung findet.". So I think that the new file name "Thai wai" is indeed better. It is an example of the many mudras. Wouter (talk) 22:06, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
