Infobox

Per WP:MILMOS#INFOBOX, n particular, terms like "Pyrrhic victory" or "decisive victory" are inappropriate for outcomes. Also, if you're going to add new figures, please ensure the figures are presented as a range taking into account other references already cited, instead of presenting your reference as the only correct one. FDW777 (talk) 10:04, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, considering the existing reference said other references give a range from 4,000-12,000 and the new reference said 5,000-6,000 no actual change is needed, since the new figures are already covered by the existing ones. FDW777 (talk) 10:12, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also "Glory of Marwar and glorious Rathores" does not appear to exist. FDW777 (talk) 10:08, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, we don't use non-standard termino0logy such as Hard-won victory of Afgans. If it was an Afghan victory, which it was, then per WP:MILMOS#INFOBOX it is "Afghan victory". FDW777 (talk) 08:02, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@MilitaryGeek634: the existing reference says the Marwar strength was 4,000 cavalry according to some sources and less than 12,000 cavalry and archers according to others, therefore per WP:NPOV it doesn't get changd to just 8,000. FDW777 (talk) 07:05, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tone

When Maldev's innocent generals Jaita and Kumpa found out what had happened, they were worried about how they would prove their innocence. When the king ordered withdrawal, they overheard the chat between the village women worried about the Afghan Army. One of the women said we need not to worry as long as Jaita and Kumpa are here to protect us. This statement made the proud chieftains regain their honour is just one example of problematic text in this article. FDW777 (talk) 10:06, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
