Dogra rule sanitised[edit]

Why is Dogra rule sanatised with no mention of the high feudalism, massacre or anti muslim rule but same is not done with the Afghan rule? A lot of stuff is missing 4lways4ccelerate (talk) 19:45, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You can add material to the article but please provide reliable sources and read WP:DUE first. RegentsPark (comment) 23:18, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@RegentsPark and 4lways4ccelerate: Up until 19 May 2023, there was no history in the article before 1980. This had been a part of a longstanding (if tacit) agreement. Then in the period of a few days, a longish history section was added. WP:AGF notwithstanding it would be hard to come way without wondering to oneself if the history was not the aspect of window dressing for the G20 meeting in Srinagar which began on 22 May 2023.

Personally, I don't believe that you—4lways*—should consider the current history to be the part of any consensus. That is my view. But then I do not believe that the history of Dogra rule belongs anywhere but the Kashmir page. The longstanding agreement around this is the reason that Jammu and Kashmir (princely state) (yes, the very princely state of the Dogras) does not have a history section, nor do Jammu and Kashmir (state) and Jammu and Kashmir (union territory) have histories that pre-date the beginning of those administrative entities. I don't believe this page should either unless it is specifically local history. Best, Fowler&fowler «Talk» 02:24, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I might try to address this vulnerability to content-fork-creation in the sub-regional, city-, and town histories in the RfC that I plan to start in the coming weeks. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 02:35, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is fine, It will take some time but I will add a few things with proper sources myself. 4lways4ccelerate (talk) 02:05, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 13 April 2024[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Change "Kashmiri Hindus constituted 21.9% of Srinagar's population in the 1891 census and 2.75% in the 2011 census" TO " Kashmiri Hindus constituted 8.39% of Srinagar's population in the 1981 census and 2.75% in the 2011 census".

Rationale: In the context of the insurgency in the 80s, does not make much sense to bring in 1891 census. Bringing in the 1981 census numbers paints the grave yet accurate depiction of the decline in population of Kashmiri Hindus. URL for 1981 census - https://censusindia.gov.in/nada/index.php/catalog/31511/download/34692/29233_1981_POR.pdf. Rexkash (talk) 19:33, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Charliehdb You may be mistaken. Page requires autoconfirmed access[1], which the requesting editor doesn't have. — kashmīrī ^TALK 12:00, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Charliehdb (talk) 12:06, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kashmiri and Charliehdb: The 8.39% figure is for the Srinagar district not the city. page number 58 - excerpt - "Srinagar district topping the Jist where the Hindus form 8.39 per cent of the population". I believe it should be reverted or edited accordingly. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:07, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
