@Rajneesh singh koli: Please post this list on the article's talk page, so that other users can discuss it. A preliminary look suggests that at least some of these books do not meet WP:RS criteria (e.g. The Bible of Aryan Invasion). British caste compendiums such as A Glossary of the Tribes and Castes... are considered dodgy sources as well. I did not have a chance to go through all the books that are reliable sources, but I doubt they support your assertions. For example, I had a look at R. C. Majumdar's The Vedic Age: pages 152-154) mention the Kol people, who have nothing to do with Koli people. utcursch | talk 14:14, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Ravana Rajputs

Hi Utcursh

I think you are making derogatory and completely unacceptable comments about this community without having any background or context. In the current we should push each community in positive way rather mentioning half or one sided stories in garb of lack of sources. Also Major Dalpat Singh and Anandpal singh are two well known individuals from this community. I think you should not have any problem mentioning that unless you PERSONALLY can't digest the way this community is coming up. On Anandpal already there is a full page. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajmartinlutherking (talk • contribs)

@Rajmartinlutherking: I am not making any comments on any community. All the content in the article is based on the cited sources. utcursch | talk 21:16, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Have cited the sources however I know your are prejudiced about this and we can see your true colors. You can only make these derogatory comments behind the veil-- no guts to talk on facts only making comments which are convenient to you. I think time has come bro that this community also can live like normal humans which one community oppressed for centuries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajmartinlutherking (talk • contribs)

@Rajmartinlutherking: I have already mentioned on your talk page: caste websites are not acceptable sources. I have no prejudice for or against this community: my only concern is adherence to the Wikipedia policies and guidelines. If you can find a reliable source that presents this community in a favorable light, please feel free to add it to the article. utcursch | talk 21:32, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Bro why don't you just delete this page rather telling people wrong and one sided story. You can't stop rawana rajputs growing bro with your hate..they will grow and grow each passing day.. I gave all the reliable resources such as Bhaskar.com, indian express.com or zeenews.. do you think book written by P.S Choudhary or DD is reliable..what authority do they have to write..You just want to write negative stuff about ravana rajputs.. you guys can't digest their growth that is the problem..well as I said having written something negative on wiki will not bar us from growing..we will continue to spread the love bro.. no worries.. I change it one more time in light of all humanity...Let them live their life with some respect atleast now.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajmartinlutherking (talk • contribs)

@Rajmartinlutherking: Please see Wikipedia:Assume good faith. I have no hatred for the community. I'm simply objecting to your non-adherence to Wikipedia policies and guidelines. The Bhaskar news report cited by you simply mentions that a caste group organized an event to commemorate Major Dalpat Singh - it does not state that Dalpat Singh belonged to this caste. If you have a source that states this, please feel free to add it to the article. The Indian Express and Zee News articles don't even mention Ravana Rajputs. Scholarly books are acceptable sources on Wikipedia: if they mention the unpleasant past of your community, they mention it as a fact, not with the intention to malign your caste.

If you have any comment about the content of the article, please post them on the article's talk page, so that other users can participate in the discussion. You can also try seeking others' opinions at Noticeboard for India-related topics. utcursch | talk 21:48, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Ok so who will decide our values & vision it should be us right?? and not any other community..and to that extent we should consider our caste website as reliable resource but you just want to keep it in bad light in the garb of wiki policies. Just delete the entire page..You can't blindly trust those non-sense books..what authenticity those authors has?? I have mentioned bhaskar.com to establish that he is community icon. You would agree that there is not much material about this caste online. we are just coming out to live normal life..but its really very disheartening that youngsters like you still can make the entire community in this 21st century feel down.. any way I would request please delete the entire page.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajmartinlutherking (talk • contribs)

@Rajmartinlutherking: Once again, please read WP:RS, if you haven't. Scholarly / academic books do not become "non-sense", just because they mention the unpleasant past of your caste. Websites affiliated with a caste or a person are not acceptable sources for the article on that caste or person. Otherwise, I'd be able to create a website that claims that I'm a Nobel Prize winner, and use it as a source to make that claim in a Wikipedia article about me. If you want to seek others' opinion on this, you can try Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard.

Bhaskar.com article does not state that Dalpat Singh belonged to this caste: it simply states that a Ravana Rajput caste organization held an event in his memory. Please find a news article which states that "Dalpat Singh was a Ravana Rajput", and nobody will have a problem in adding that claim to the article.

As for deletion, Wikipedia articles are not deleted because they mention facts that someone finds unpleasant. See WP:IDONTLIKEIT.

Finally, please post any further comments on the article's talk page or a noticeboard (such as WT:IN), so that other people can participate in the discussion. utcursch | talk 22:09, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

@Utcursch This is completely unfair. Who is writing this article then? Is that you? Do you have any on ground context of this caste or you are completely relying on those book?? Using words like concubines are not done? I request to remove that. This is derogatory and insult to the whole community else we have to move to court to get it removed. Also, it attracts criminal penalties under Indian law. Please see Section 153 (a) and Section 295 (a) of the Indian Penal Code. Please read supreme court judgment ARUMUGAM SERVAI vs. State of Tamil Nadu in relation to use of derogatory word (even though it may be true) is an offence. (read the entire judgment here https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1337458/ ) You have to be bit logical cant be lakir ka fakir. Why ravsna rajputs will have an event every year across Rajasthan in the memoray of Dalpat Singh. He is our poster boy and you are denying to accept him as ravana Rajput which is completely unfair and unjust. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajmartinlutherking (talk • contribs)

See Wikipedia:No legal threats. Feel free to file a lawsuit against the authors of the books and newspapers like Hindustan Times. utcursch | talk 23:23, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

I think you have not read the judgment. Please see para 17. I don't have to file the lawsuit but just register FIR in the local police station since this is a criminal offence. There is no remedy for us in relation to Hindustan times as it is already published however we have full remedy against you. Apart from this, please see the youtube videos and google images of Dalpat Singh-- you are disclaiming our main poster boy. Who gave you invitation to write on us. it would be better if you can please remove it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajmartinlutherking (talk • contribs)

@Rajmartinlutherking: Once again, please read Wikipedia:No legal threats. As for Dalpat Singh, I'm not saying that Dalpat Singh was not a Ravana Rajput. I'm just asking you to present acceptable sources that support this claim, in accordance with Wikipedia's verifiability policy. Things like "youtube videos and google images" are not acceptable sources. Reputed newspapers, scholarly books, and academic journals are acceptable sources.

I'm not going to post any further replies, because you are fruitlessly repeating the same arguments. If you have any further comments, please post them at WT:IN, WP:RSN or another appropriate venue, where others can address your concerns. utcursch | talk 23:55, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Agharia Caste (Odisha)

Dear @Utcursh, thank you for citing the mistake. I need to place citations with proper sources on the article. However, not many research articles were published on the caste; thus, I shall only place a few genetic research Citations which prove that the caste is a migrated Indo-European "Aryan". Also, the history of the community is crucial, thus, a folklore, which has relevance to the genetics can be placed, contradicting the fact that "it is a contrived claim designed to elevate their social position and distance themselves from their past". I shall be needing to create sections for etymology, which may be proved in the future and added later. An information about the 44 clans of Agharia needs to be placed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patel.anwesh (talk • contribs) 04:06, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

@Patel.anwesh: Please see WP:RS. Jatland.com is not an acceptable source: it is a user-contributed website full of pseudo-history aimed at glorifying the Jat caste. The R. V. Russel book is not suitable either: it is an obsolete book that was first published over 100 years ago. There have been several discussions regarding the unreliability of the colonial-era ethnographic works (for example, see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 172#Are British Raj ethnographers unreliable.3F). The genetic study reference doesn't support the "Rajputana descent" claim. utcursch | talk 04:56, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

@Utcursch: I agree with it, however, my motives were to provide space for research on the community. I will try to focus on better resources and credible data, especially genetics, as most of the data related to the community was either lost or was misplaced by our own ancestors, in fear of revelation. Thank you!

Two things

Hi, good to see you back in the thick of it :) I'm afraid my idea of getting the GOCE to copy-edit Vikramaditya appears to have backfired a little. I'll look into cleaning it up soon. Secondly, is there any consensus on whether the religion parameter in the infobox can/should include denominations? An editor's been changing the religion value in all Mughal infoboxes from Islam to Sunni Islam. Is this … kosher? Thanks.--Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 15:12, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

@Cpt.a.haddock: Copyediting at Vikramaditya doesn't seem bad to me! Thanks for that. I'm not sure if there is any established guideline / consensus about the denomination in Infobox royalty -- you can try asking on the template talk page. utcursch | talk 15:20, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

IMO, some of the nuance has been lost in the ce. For example, I'm guessing that the use of "legendary" in the lede was intentional. And I'm generally not a fan of unnecessary dumbing down of language :|

Incidentally, what is your opinion on promoting articles to GA/FA status or the classification system in general? Is it worth pursuing? Does the article gain anything from it?--Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 15:31, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Lord Ram

I am following the guidelines, it clearly states to write it Honorifics for deities, including proper names and titles, start with a capital letter (God, Allah, the Lord, the Supreme Being, the Great Spirit, the Horned One, Bhagavan). I can either use Bhagavan or the Lord Ram, without Capitalising T in the. Since in the sentence "the" is not required/grammatically incorrect so I am only using Lord Ram instead. Following the guidelines. Do suggest how to write it otherwise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimmy9bond (talk • contribs) 19:55, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

@Jimmy9bond: The guideline you're referring to states that the word "G" in God should be capitalized, "B" in Bhagavan should be capitalized etc. It doesn't say that you should prefix name of Rama with "Bhagavan".

Wikipedia articles do not use honorifics. "Jesus" is not called "Lord Jesus", "Muhammad" is not called "Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)", "Rama" is not called "Lord Rama" and so on. utcursch | talk 20:02, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Jesus & Muhammad were not Lords, they were Prophets, messengers of God. You got the whole premise wrong therefore of the honorifics used. Rama is not considered a prophet but the Lord himself. Hope that clarifies. Jimmy9bond (talk) 20:07, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

@Jimmy9bond: Wikipedia articles do not use honorifics. Period. If you have nay problem with these guidelines, please feel free to discuss them at the article's talk page, WT:IND or Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style. utcursch | talk 20:16, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia DOES allow honorifics for deities. Kindly navigate to the section HONORIFICS FOR DEITIES: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style I don't know why you're making it an ego issue when the guidelines are pretty clear & you have been caught doing a miserable u-turn from yourself giving me the above link to now saying WIki has no such guidelines for honorifics altogether.Jimmy9bond (talk) 20:23, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

@Jimmy9bond: I have already mentioned that the sentence which you cited talks about capitalization of "G" in God, "A" in Allah, "L" in Lord, "B" in Bhagavan etc. It does not state that you should call Rama "Bhagavan Rama" or "Lord Rama". You are the one who is misreading the guidelines. Like I said, if you disagree, please feel free to drop a note at Talk:Ram Janmabhoomi, so that other people can provide their views as well. utcursch | talk 20:25, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Fine let's end it here. I have edited the page as per your wishes. Used Rama & not Lord Rama. Where Lord has been used Rama hasn't been. At one place I have used none & just mentioned him as deity. Hope that resolves all. Kindly check & approve. Thanks. Don't keep ill feelings now.Jimmy9bond (talk) 20:30, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Our edit war over the subject "bisht"

Sir please atleast hear my plea.Read the references that already exist on that page.The book by ramilla bisht go to page 50 below the table its clearly written that bisht are rajputs/kshatrias with common links with thokdars of chowdhary origin and it has nothing to do with nepal bishts do not exist in nepal and the second reference is a page about rauts nothing to do with bishts please take some time and read the references once Up-16 (talk) 16:05, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

@Up-16: The second reference clearly says that "Rautes (and Rajis) in far-western Nepal" adopt surnames such as Bisht.

The news article reference which you added simply states that a woman named Aparna Bisht comes from a Thakur family. You cannot use it as a reference to state that Bisht is a Thakur surname (unless the article specifically states that). See WP:SYN. Similarly, the Ramila Bisht reference does not support the assertion that Bisht, Negi and Chowdhary share a "common link": it simply states that these are used by Rajputs; in fact, the book makes a very clear distinction between the Bisht and Negi ("Pokhari is primary a Bisht village with only two Negi Rajput families.").

Feel free to add the content that is directly supported by the reference. utcursch | talk 16:22, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

Sir thanks for reading my comment. The second article clearly states that the rautes adopt the "high class rulling surnames such as bishts" which clearly states my point that bisht are rajputs and it clealy mentions adopts.The rautes are from nepal not bishts if i change my surname to zukerburg it means that i have only changed my surname it dosent mean that mark zukervurg is from india Up-16 (talk) 16:29, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

And moreover sir the book states that and i quote kshatrias or rajputs as they are commonly called are aswal,bisht,negi and choudhry then it mentions that in bisht dominated village there are only 2 negi families not that they are the only rajputs please reply soon so we can discuss and end our dispute Up-16 (talk) 16:34, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

@Up-16: As mentioned earlier, feel free to add content that is directly supported by the reference (e.g. Rajput). You don't need my permission for it. Just avoid things that are not supported by the reference (e.g. "xyz share a common link")

As for Nepal: Bisht is not an ethnic group. As the reference states it was a title originally used by those holding land grants. Everyone who uses it as surname (or their ancestor) has "adopted" it as a surname. utcursch | talk 16:55, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

Sir thanks for keeping an open mind towards my edit but sir i know bisht are not an ethenic group but they are a collection of rajputs and thakurs from and i emphesise india not nepal. The napalese have merely copied the surname and it was adopted by the upper cast alone and as far as your permission is concerned you are a senior wiki editor and i should clearly always clear all disputes and think from the point of view of all the parties concerned respection our elders and gurus is our tradition and i know you understand cause you are also an indian and sir if you have any problem with the new article simply make the changes but do keep me involved in the change cycle Up-16 (talk) 17:05, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

Sir i saw that you added the nepal thing again.Asking for a proof that bishts do not exist in nepal is insane.Unlike traditional media wikipedia does not do any actual reserch about the subject or the people concerned so finding a "verifiable" source to say that bishts do not exist in nepal is too much because i cannot do a census in nepal.Sir can you give me proof that life does not exist at the centre of the earth "actual verifiable"data same thing applies here they just coppied the surname that does not make them a bisht like changing my name to clinton wont make me an actual one Up-16 (talk) 11:17, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

About Ram Rahim

Hello Utcursch, you changed my edit regarding the religion of Ram Rahim. You say he is Sikh but let me tell you it is a broad term and majority of Sikhs do not consider him or his family as Sikhs in any way whatsoever, because it is barred to be adherents of Deras like Sacha Sauda in Sikhism where Guru Granth Sahib is not given the top priority. So in good faith I wanted to inform you your insistence to give him that tag can greatly mislead people.I repeat it can greatly mislead people's perception seriously. But still, to make it as unbiased as it can get, and to come on common grounds with you bro I will not deny his association with Sikhism altoghether therefore mentioning his family as Sahajdhari Sikhs, instead, which is more EXACT reference to his family traditions. While the broader term of Sikh also includes Khalsa Sikhs, who have been actually the opponents of Ram Rahim for years.

@TrueInsan: Neither I nor the article says that Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh is Sikh. So, there is no question of the readers being misled.

The article states that his father Maghar Singh was a Jat Sikh, who became a follower of DSS. That's what the reference states, and we will stick to that as per Wikipedia's verifiability policy.

You cannot add the "Sahajdhari" claim, unless a source explicitly states that. Again, see Wikipedia:Verifiability. utcursch | talk 21:11, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

AnnabelleParkinson (talk) 10:21, 13 September 2017 (UTC) Hi Utcursch I am emailing you because you recently removed my Reference link from the Wikipedia Aadhaar Page. The Edit made by me was not at all inappropriate and the reason I made the edit because the Link which was already there was not working and has no relevance to the content to which it was added. One of the references I added was a news article regarding deactivation of Aadhaar Cards and PAN Cards that took place in India, which was pretty much appropriate for encyclopedia. And the other link at reference 140 is stil not working Check for your satisfaction 140-"AADHAR Card Documents Required". Aadhaar Card uidai.gov.in. Government of India. 8 April 2016. Retrieved 22 April 2017.

141-"UIDAI cancelled 3.8 lakh fake Aadhaar Cards - Aadhaar Card Information Portal". aadhaarcarduid.org. Retrieved 22 April 2017.

The reference 141 is an old reference over which I added my new reference relating to current news.

So,I would humbly request you to add my references to the Aadhaar Page as they can be useful to someone and as they are better that what is currently on the 140 and 141 reference of the page.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

AnnabelleParkinson (talk) 09:42, 14 September 2017 (UTC) I think you didn't exactly read what i wrote to you in the previous mail. Let me repeat it to you the Reference link 140 has been referring to a domain or website that doesn't even exist moreover the name of the website "www.uidaigovin.in" is made almost similar to the UIDAI Government Portal which is "www.uidai.gov.in" scamming users into believing that it s government website and i think the website has also made you believe that too. the website "www.uidaigov.in" is running a fraud scheme to lure users into visiting their website but what's the benefit of it when the website is not even working,it is an expired domain providing no information whatsoever and how can something which doesn't even exist be considered as a reliable source over the reference that i made. And if you get time to visit both the websites that is www.uidaigov.in and www.rupeenomics.com you may find the rupeenomics one reliable over the fake website. But if you don't please do tell me what is a reliable source according to you. Or you just prefer a fake and expired reference to be put up on an esteemed website like Wikipedia.

Hope you read it this time

115.97.40.243

Hi, this is just a note to let you know that 115.97.40.243 whom you cautioned is one of the IP-socks of ‎Lord Aseem who has been edit-warring at Battle of the Hydaspes‎ and been warned by all and sundry. He has also made personal attacks on more than one occasion including on my talk page.—Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 11:15, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Ah, thanks for the information. utcursch | talk 15:12, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Hard-hitting

Hi, apparently this edit adds "hard-hitting" sources. I've not come across them before - have you? - Sitush (talk) 21:14, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

@Sitush: All of these refs are in Telugu language, which I do not understand. Maybe someone at WT:IN can help. utcursch | talk 22:28, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. I'll open a thread there. - Sitush (talk) 22:32, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

(tps) The first reference doesn't say anything of relevance. The second says that he was a "Jain Vaishya". It doesn't use the word "Komati". The third references says that he lived around 1100 AD. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 21:07, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Cheras

Please cast your eye towards Talk:Chera dynasty when you get a chance. There's a possibility that much of the information on Cheras will not match its sub-articles if Hareeshh starts making random changes and page moves that overwrite/rewrite existing sourced content. I would like to insist on him first addressing chronology, genealogy, and terminology in the Chera article before rewriting the sub-articles. Is this a good approach? Thanks.—Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 21:22, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

@Cpt.a.haddock: I agree with your approach. Will keep a watch on the articles. utcursch | talk 00:37, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Vyaghra Gotra

Hello Sir, I was created a Article Vyaghra Gotra is not available in the google search. I did not find the article in google, do we need to do anything to appear in the google search? It's Very Important for Hindu Religions. Please help me.Singh1995virat (talk) 11:15, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

@Singh1995virat: Google crawls Wikipedia periodically. Newly-created articles take some time to appear in the Google search results. utcursch | talk 14:32, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for Guidance. Can you review my article Vyaghra Gotra. Singh1995virat (talk) 17:28, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

@Singh1995virat: The article does not have appropriate references: see WP:RS. utcursch | talk 20:37, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Ok sir, please see the 1st Reference Handbooks on Rajput page no 129 Only word change Baiyagar means Vyaghra. And i will delete the History section. Please approve my Article. Singh1995virat (talk) 02:28, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

@Singh1995virat: There is no "approval" involved -- your article is already published and viewable by everyone. As for "Baiyagar" and "Vyaghra", you need to either cite a source which explicitly mentions this equivalence, or alternatively, you can move the article to "Baiyagar". I'd help if I could, but I'm unable to find any decent sources that indicate the notability of this article. utcursch | talk 03:09, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks!

Hi Utcursch, thank you for your comments at my RfA. Your support is much appreciated! ansh666 21:45, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Raja Pratap Singh

Hello Sir, Can you review my article draft:Raja Pratap Singh of Pratapgarh. Singh1995virat (talk) 19:48, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

@Singh1995virat: As multiple reviewers have stated, the article doesn't have good sources and indications of notability. You need to find sources that meet WP:HISTRS criteria. utcursch | talk 02:27, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Sir,

Sir please help me for posting this article. In Many articles wikipedia mentioned his name Raja Pratap Singh of Pratapgarh. Singh1995virat (talk) 02:41, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, but I'm unable to find any reliable sources which establish the notability of this ruler. utcursch | talk 02:44, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

http://www.indianrajputs.com/view/pratapgarh_taluq Can u tell me this is reliable source or not. Singh1995virat (talk) 02:55, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

No, it's not a reliable source by Wikipedia's standards. It is simply a compilation of the claimed histories / genealogies of the various Rajput principalities.

Examples of reliable sources for history-related articles are scholarly/acaedemic books by qualified historians and articles published in peer-reviewed journals. utcursch | talk 03:06, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

I am already link a reliable soure The"Gazetteer of the Province of Oudh". And the two times mention his Name in this book. Please help me I Know this Family personally. His ancestors live in Pratapgarh Uttar Pradesh Raja Anil Pratap Singh.Singh1995virat (talk) 03:19, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

The Gazetteer of the Province of Oudh is not adequate. As mentioned earlier, please see WP:HISTRS -- try to find a scholarly book / journal article. Also, you need something more than a 1-2 line mention to establish the subject's notability. utcursch | talk 03:22, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for guidance sir, Can i add The Cencus website reference. http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011census/dchb/UPA.html Singh1995virat (talk) 03:40, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

The District Census Handbooks are a good source for population-related statistics, but not an optimal source for history-related articles. utcursch | talk 03:47, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Ok sir, then how i am created this article. Can i totally delete this article.Singh1995virat (talk) 04:14, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello sir, Can i add reference this website http://www.pratapgarh.nic.in Singh1995virat (talk) 04:46, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Yes, you can. But again, it's not an optimal source to establish the notability of the person. The article "Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh" already mentions a sentence about Pratap Singh -- you need to find more sources to show why the topic "Pratap Singh" deserves a separate article. utcursch | talk 18:29, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Vats

I am struggling a bit at Vats (clan) and I think it may be due to a poor grasp of the nuances of English. Could you please take a look? - Sitush (talk) 19:46, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

I read the source -- I've posted a note on the talk page of the article. utcursch | talk 20:36, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. I find the source pretty unintelligible, too. - Sitush (talk) 20:37, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation MoS

Hi, I noticed your changes to articles such as Siege of Chittorgarh, Siege of Ranthambore, etc. I believe the convention is to place the year(s) within parentheses rather than after a comma. See Battle of Thermopylae (disambiguation), Battle of Delhi, Battle of Mogadishu, etc. Incidentally, Siege of Delhi is another dab candidate. Thanks.—Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 09:34, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll move the articles accordingly. utcursch | talk 18:59, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

Please stop removing valid sourced content from the Rajput page

All views are to be presented. Your edits are resulting in puffery of a caste and one sided views. This diminishes the quality of wiki pages. Thanks Acharya63 (talk) 16:06, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

@Acharya63: The content that you're adding is already present in the article, in the Subdivisions section, as mentioned in my edit summary. utcursch | talk 16:08, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

@Utcursch: As I said land owner and cultivator are different things. Also tertiary (Britanicca) source summary is allowed.Here, the Kshatriya status has been challenged which is very important information. If this is your community, let me assure you I have nothing against this group but do not appreciate puffery (I am a yajurvedi deshastha from Maharashtra and we do not have Rajputs there).And I do not live in India anyways. But we need this on the page to avoid one sided views. This has been on this page for years before you deleted it.

@Acharya63: The "cultivator" bit is already present in the article, with the exact same source (Britannica) you're adding. In case your browser does not have a search feature, here is a quote from the article:

The Rajputs claim to be Kshatriyas or descendants of Kshatriyas, but their actual status varies greatly, ranging from princely lineages to common cultivators."

How different groups attained Rajput status is also mentioned in the Origin section. utcursch | talk 17:31, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

Got it. Thanks for the details. I apologize for my mistake. Acharya63 (talk) 21:12, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

Suryagupta

Hi, is the Suryagupta Maurya redirect actually necessary? It's unused but is being inserted into Chandragupta Maurya by a Chandra Nandini fan. Thanks.—Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 15:48, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

@Cpt.a.haddock: People were adding Chandra Nandini characters to Chandragupta Maurya even before the redirect existed. When a new user created Suryagupta Maurya, I turned it into a redirect instead of deleting it, so that people are aware that Suryagupta a fictional TV serial character. Otherwise, they may think that he was a real person and the information about is missing from the Wikipedia article. utcursch | talk 15:54, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

Same goes for Helena Maurya -- I had the article deleted via WP:PROD. But new users / anons kept adding Helena to the history-related articles. So, I created a redirect. utcursch | talk 15:56, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

Ah. Makes sense. Cheers.—Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 15:58, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

Kamal al-Din Gurg

The date of his death is likely to have been 1316. He was, for obvious reasons, killed after Alp Khan, who was killed in early 1316. --2.64.229.110 (talk) 06:17, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

You're right. Either Alp Khan was killed in late 1315, or Kamal al-Din was killed in early 1316. There seems to be an error in Iqtidar Alam Khan's book which dates Alp Khan's death to 1316, and Kamal al-Din's death to 1315. I'll try to find another source. utcursch | talk 13:48, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

I will probably be able to consult good sources rather soon. Off the top of my head I think that Mishra says early 1316 for Alp Khan's death, stating the month of the Islamic calendar. Mishra's source may be Baranī. --2.67.153.142 (talk) 18:04, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello, can I please get a little help here? Thanks -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs · count) 16:07, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Query

Hello, can this (pp. 117-130) be used as a source to add content to wikipedia specifically in articles like mahabharata and Mohenjodaro? -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs · count) 18:06, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

@Capankajsmilyo: The book is not a good source: it discusses fringe theories like "ancient nuclear weapons". utcursch | talk 18:10, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. Can you please suggest a WP:RS which discuss the radiation levels found in ancient sites like Mohenjo Daro, Harrapa, etc. -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs · count) 18:14, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

I'm not aware of any such sources. You can try WP:REFDESK or a noticeboard. utcursch | talk 18:55, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

battle of hydaspes page

I made certain alterations and elaborations on the content already present in the Battle of the Hydaspes page, but User Khirug reverted them calling me a Sockpuppet. I explained the sock puppet situation I was already prepared for, but I want to know if reverting unbiased normal uncontroversial on the assumption that the user is biased is part of Wiki guidelines. Then I may steer away from Edit Wars. The altercation between Lord aseem and Khirurg is too much for me to repeat again between me and him Kamlesh4rmBhopal (talk) 17:22, 4 November 2017 (UTC) Kamlesh4rmBhopal (talk) 17:22, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

@Kamlesh4rmBhopal: You might want to discuss your edits on the talk page first. utcursch | talk 03:30, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

The edits are of no issue, since they have nothing to do with "india" or "west" team battle mentality. They are simply elaboration of the same pre-existing sources and they have been written by Mr.Khirurg himself. Apart from the edits Sir, can my edits be rved on the basis that I am just a sock? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kamlesh4rmBhopal (talk • contribs) 05:28, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
