Pirate Praveen Public Seen by 298

Update article 3, section 2. Add subsection 5.

Initial members were accepted only for first 6 months.

Add subsection 6:
After 6 months of initial membership, they become an associate.

Add this as a slide at the end:

History:
- First batch of initial members of Indian Pirates were initial members of Pirate Movement of India.
- Pirate Movement of India was abandoned since no initial member requested permanent membership after 6 months.
- Initial members joined after first batch of Initial members from Pirate Movement of India had their membership valid for some more time after new initial memberships were closed.
- They approved permanent members before their term of 6 months expired, from initial members and associates who completed 6 months by then (those who joined before them).

Also add a paranthesis to the main slide's title saying "No longer relevant/applicable/available/" and link to the last slide like @praveenarimbrathod said.
