User talk:Dr. Dev Hooda

April 2023
Hello, I'm LizardJr8. I noticed that you made a change to an article, History of flags, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. LizardJr8 (talk) 02:29, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Hello
 * i'm Dr. Hooda. i am historian and pretty much placed near Kurukshetra. the famous war site where Mahabharata war was happened 3000 BC. Lord Krishna delivered Gita speech . Bhagwad Gita is available everywhere Dr. Dev Hooda (talk) 06:40, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I would love it if you could give me a citation to a reliable source, preferably in a book about flags or an academic paper, about the early history of flags in India, as the sources I've seen tend not to talk about the region in this context. However, I must warn you that Wikipedia is based on scholarly consensus which it seems shows that the Mahabharata War, if it happened at all, occurred in 1000BC. Also the Bhagwad Gita or any other part of the Mahabharata would not be considered a reliable source, per WP:RSPSCRIPTURE. Cakelot1 (talk) 06:52, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Not exactly attributed to Flag. "Mahabharat" is epic History and Philosophy written by Sage, Ved Vyas. The chariot and Flags were mentioned in it . 2405:201:5804:ECAC:BC2E:D712:3FA8:CC59 (talk) 11:36, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
 * But what I'm saying is that Mahabharata and other epics are treated as primary sources and not reliable sources. As an example, we can describe how Homer's Iliad talks about ghosts, in Ghost, only because we have a secondary source that talks about it, otherwise it's WP:Original Research which is banned on Wikipedia.
