Explain tags and WP:POVFORK issue

[edit]

@Orient Bengal: Welcome to wikipedia. This seems to be a WP:POVFORK of an old disputed version of the Bengali calendar (see Talk:Bengali calendar for the dispute. Would you confirm you copied old parts of that article into this, and also explain why you created this article last week? @Kautilya3: I cannot find the title "Akbarian Bengali calendar" in reliable sources I searched (google book, google scholar, and databases behind pay wall). Can you find any? We can either merge / AfD this article, or rename it to Bangladeshi calendar (I see few mentions of this term, see this, page 132, ~14th line, for example). What are your suggestions? Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 14:41, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@MSW, renaming this to Bangladeshi calendar is certainly a good solution. I can clean up the article some more. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 15:34, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This is vandalism. Not a single source calls it a Bangladeshi calendar, but all talk about Akbar's calendar. You also removed reliably sourced information on the festivals, for which The Daily Star has always been considered a reliable source in Wikipedia.--Orient Bengal (talk) 16:52, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The source is linked above! with page number and line number!, Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 17:47, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sock created page

[edit]

@RickinBaltimore: you are right that the redirect was not created by a sock. Rather he created a page. Ms Sarah Welch retitled the page, from which this redirect resulted. We have decided to keep the page, suitably revised. But this redirect is for an unsourced term, which should be deleted as a sock-creation. Cheers, Kautilya3 (talk) 12:52, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
