Hi, I found this https://www.nba.com/article/2019/08/10/report-michael-beasley-reaches-1-year-deal-detroit-pistons before I accepted, seems correct? I was just about to add it when you reverted. Govindaharihari (talk) 12:13, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Hey I just edited the Jodhaa Akhbar page to include the two National Film Awards, how do I do the citations? Rocknrollprincess131 (talk) 05:55, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello, I tried checking the awards page itself but the links are dead. Try asking an admin for access to a web archive, or alternatively, run a Google search to see if you get a source, satisfying WP:RS criteria, to vouch for that information. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 05:57, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 15
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Nawabs of Bengal and Murshidabad, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pandua ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Nawabs_of_Bengal_and_Murshidabad check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Nawabs_of_Bengal_and_Murshidabad?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Please refer to the article on the talk page I created to see why I removed the "greatest threat" section

 * You cannot remove referenced information without a consensus on talk page. That is disruptive editing and for repeated violation of Wikipedia guidelines from several IP addresses attracts a block. Please refer to the notices left on your talk page. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 18:44, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * Thank you so much for your kindness! This has been my first barnstar in over four years, and is indeed very special. Feels good that the article gets recognised. Thanks, and cheers. --16:11, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

Red Fort
I definitely stated the reason for my edit. Perhaps you did not read it. I stated that Lal Kot is a different place. Lal Kot is not Red Fort. History of Lal Kot and other places in Mehrauli region of Delhi is not the history of Red Fort. Please read the Wikipedia article Mehrauli. - Ravindra Rao Rao Ravindra (talk) 09:43, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
 * First, barring one of your recent edits to Red Fort, none of the rest contain an edit summary in any form. Second, your edits deleted relevant information which had citations without a talk page consensus. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 10:36, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

Kolkata
I could template you for adding poorly sourced content against policy but then, as you should know, templating regulars is frowned upon. So, I suggest you resist the temptation to do it yourself. DrKay (talk) 09:27, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

August 2019
Your recent editing history at Kolkata shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. DrKay (talk) 09:29, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Your message on my talk page
I very strongly protest against your insinuation that I should have been trying to erase information about human rights abuses under false pretexts. I've been editing this wikipedia since 2005, so I am quite aware of the policies.

I was trying to use the "undo" function since some fool had removed the flag of a first order administrative division (Jammu and Kashmir) falsely citing policy that flags of such entities were outlawed. Such flags are quite allowed, see e.g. the articles about US states, Baden-Wurttemberg or Northumberland. As you know, the undo function breaks when others make conflicting edits, so it was quite a sensible thing to do to do a revert to the last non-broken version, since making copy-paste edits is hell when dealing with infoboxes. Valentinian T / C 11:03, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, I did not accuse you but was merely curious as there was no reason given in the edit summary. Neither do I seek to dispute your knowledge. Your edits were reverted by another user. Edits to the Jammu and Kashmir article are seemingly been discussed by the WikiProject India noticeboard, with consensus reached there. Please check there for inclusion of your edits. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 11:10, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * That is not how such a message is interpreted in my part of the world. For my part, I have no interest in that region at all. I'm interested in flags and I have no interest in having to defend myself towards random strangers. Valentinian T / C 11:15, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I understand your concerns and I reiterate that the message was a note and was not accusatory. You did not provided any reason for deleting those particular links and images as part of your edits. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 11:18, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

robert clive
the current section is inaccurate (bipolar is not mentioned) and unstructured. why did you revert the improvements? JCJC777 (talk) 21:06, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
 * The opening of the paragraph is not constructive. Having the title in bold is also not per MOS. With regards to the first reference, this article mentions he may have had bipolar but doesn't link it to his death, which is where you added the information in the article. You may add that as a separate line, I wouldn't have an issue with that. With regards to the second reference, I fail to note which part of this article states that Clive "believed his health had been damaged by his time in India". You would need a reliable source for that. Lastly, you were adding the information within the reference tags and not as sentences. Please use proper citation templates to fill in and add references. You may choose to simplify the process of citing by activating ProveIt in your preferences. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 18:24, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

Regarding Tejas
Hey, I recently saw that you changed my edit on the no. of Tejas ordered by Indian Air Force. The update I made was accurate, why did you change it ?. Bikram Bagani (talk) 03:29, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * In your edit you had changed "Total 40 on order" to "Total 123 on order" and replaced the citation with a separate one. I had initially failed to note as to where the cited article mentions the number "123". I just saw the mention of 83 jets in addition to 40 in the article. Calculated it and came to a total of 123. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I have restored your edits. Best. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 18:36, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

Ram Jethmalani
Hello, I did check MOS:LEADBIO before adding the tag. Name of wife and surviving family members in the lead section can very well go into the "Personal life" section. This detail doesn't help to establish his notability. Have a great day. Csgir (talk) 07:22, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Objection with regards to one such line of information is no justification for addition of an entire "lead too long" template to an article. The purpose of that template is entirely different from what you used it for. It would have been appropriate to constructively improve the article rather. Best. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 07:31, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Tamravidhir, Small problem, easily resolved. was right in his capacity to tag it. I had not noticed the issue until I saw the tag. it hardly took few seconds for me to fix it though -- D Big X ray ᗙ  09:25, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * The issues which Csgir mentioned haven't been fixed yet. They objected to the "(n)ame of wife and surviving family members in the lead section" as they "can very well go into the "Personal life" section". -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 18:12, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * The tag was about lead too long. And I resolved tgat. Regarding family members indeed, they should not be in the lead. -- D Big X ray ᗙ  18:14, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Removed it from lead. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 18:29, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * It would have been appropriate to first ponder why the tag was added before trying to 'school' someone. "Objection" is too strong a word to use. The lead was too long; his family details was just one aspect. I was running late ; hence, I added the tag for the next editor/s stumbling upon the page to notice. Csgir (talk) 05:10, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I disagree that the lead as it stands now is too long. It includes everything required per lead MOS to establish his notability. If even after removal of family details and User:DBigXray's edits addressing your concerns you believe that the lead is too long, please discuss the same on the article's talk page. Lastly, the references you have removed does not seem justified to me per WP:RS policy. Even though URLs are dead the same should not be deleted. Further, they are archived URLs. If you believe a better source is required you may tag the content with a tag. Alternatively, I shall look for further references. --  Tamra vidhir  (talk) 07:16, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Do re-read my last message. I had said - "the lead WAS too long", and not "the lead IS too long" - there is a lot of difference in both. Regarding the archived URL's, they have zero text. Is there still any point in keeping them? Csgir (talk) 07:57, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I understand. With regards to the references, I shall look for better sources. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 10:12, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

GA noms
Hi, Over the last few days, I have been checking your GA noms. Good work. Is there something where you need a hand. You asked help but I dont see how I can help there. regards. -- D Big X ray ᗙ  11:14, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I recently worked on the article, Everest (Indian TV series). I had in fact thought of asking you if the same is GA ready. I also identified that Nawabs of Bengal and Murshidabad lacks a lot of relevant information with respect to the British's attitude towards the Nawabs (they saw them as "illegitimate ruler" who usurped Mughal sovereignty), the Nawab's dealing with his subjects (the majority of whom were sunni with a shia Nawab), and the key role the Nawab held whose overthrowal paved the path of the British's colonialism in India (the same has not been well established in the article). I am also extremely afraid that most of the references are not satisfactory. I worked on this way back in 2012, and did not know so much. Also, the article on Surrogacy in India is absolutely outdated and redundant, for this sources will be easy to find. Lastly, I have mentioned Mob lynching in India to you, though that is quite behind on my priority list. I have been wanting to work on the Nawabs article (you can surely have the GA credit, for otherwise the article fails as GA IMO) and the article on surrogacy. Concerning Everest, I would be thankful if you could review it. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 12:31, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I am also unsure of this part of Everest. But then, I cannot update it with who these characters are as I have not watched the show. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 12:32, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the detailed reply. I would probably avoid reviewing the serial as I prefer to leave it for more experienced reviewers from films/TV wikiproject who can point out improvements better than me. regarding the other articles, I will comment on the article talk page in course of time. the Lynching article seems to be most interesting and appealing to me. -- D Big X ray ᗙ  08:46, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I understand that. I would be looking forward to your replies. With regards to Everest, I have applied for a peer review. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 05:06, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

 * High five! We could surely work on it to make it a GA. Let me know how you want to go about it? -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 05:08, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, personally if you would ask me which lawyers' article I really want to make a GA, I would say Indira Jaising and Anand Grover. There articles require some serious work. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 05:10, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

Help regarding reliability.
Hey dude, I was just seeking for some knowledge or understandings of how to make sure that the references which are cited with any information is reliable or valid. Because in past few weeks, the information I've added with resources are being removed or reverted by few editors stating they are snippets from Google books or from Raj Era. But does that mean all the historical records of Raj Era are 100% false? Just needed your help regarding this. HinduKshatrana (talk) 07:04, 14 September 2019 (UTC)


 * They may not be false but they are considered unreliable. There is some background to this at User:Sitush/CasteSources and WP:HISTRS. - Sitush (talk) 14:33, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, sorry for the delayed response. It would have helped if you would have pointed out certain specific instances where you have added sources alleged to be not reliable, but to understand what sources do not qualify as reliable, I would refer you to the WP:NOTRELIABLE policy. It lists four broad kinds of sources which are not considered to be reliable. If you have any further queries please feel free to write to me. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 09:06, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I note that User:Sitush/CasteSources refers to some discussions where consensus regarding reliability of certain historical sources has been established. I have not gone through them and had been unaware of such consensus until today, but as long as the consensus stands you would have to stick by those. Or you may choose to reopen discussion to establish a renewed consensus for which I would refer you to WP:CONSBUILD. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 09:12, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Undid Edit
Hello Tamravidhir,

This was regarding my last edit on wikipage Balaji Telefilms where you undid the list of references added by me to the page. Could you please let me know the reason as to why the list of references were removed and how the sources were not reliable.

Thanks & Regards, User: Noormohammed satya Noormohammed satya (talk) 08:44, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Minus the reference of Afaqs the rest of the references you cited prima facie do not appear to be reliable per the WP:NOTRELIABLE policy. If you feel the same qualify as reliable I would suggest you start a discussion on the article's talk page or Noticeboard for India-related topics or Reliable sources/Noticeboard. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 08:52, 16 September 2019 (UTC) Updated:  Tamra vidhir  (talk) 09:17, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Hi, Lingzhi. Sorry if the edits interferred with yours. Please let me know if I should move to editing in my userspace. I particularly have to add and expand a separate section on the festival's socio-cultural and political significance, add and expand a section on Assam under the regional celebrations header, find sources regarding celebrations by Maithils in Bihar, and expand the section on celebrations beyond India. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 05:36, 18 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Lastly, thank you for your edits. Proper arrangement of the existing references and proper citations for all existing unreferenced information would indeed be of immense help. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 05:38, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Let me work on it for a while. Don't make a copy in your userspace; that would be too confusing. Just take a break & work on something else for a day or two. I will explain things to you later.... ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 06:33, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Sure, I understand. I note that you have made an exact copy of the article in your user-space and hence wanted to let you know that I rectified a few broken codes in the main-space. I may not get time enough again to work on the addition of information to the article. So I will not make an entire copy of the same. I would make individual new sections in my user-space with new references (mostly news reports). The merging of such content could be discussed with you after you are done working on the article. Please let me know if this arrangement shall work. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 07:15, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I moved the copy that was in my user space back over to main space so there wouldn't be any confusion. I have completely changed the referencing system to make it simpler and more consistent. I will try to fix all problems as quickly as I can. Please feel free to ask questions if you wish... BTW, the correct word for this is "collaborate". Another fun fact: "quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" used to be User:SandyGeorgia's motto. ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 07:53, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I will be looking forward to all the fixes. I am working on my edits in my user-space. And thanks for noting that it should be collaborate, haha. It's interesting to know that "quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" was their motto. Given status-quo, the rhetorical question assumes great significance. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 08:43, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

 * I have already, SORTKEY.  97.85.251.254 (talk) 03:24, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
 * @97.85.251.254: Which part of SORTKEY? Point out please. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 03:26, 19 September 2019 (UTC)


 * OK let's do it this way, see Help:Category. All this does is force the category to be alphabetically sorted by the word you want. If the category is Lists of waterfalls by country, then you want the article, List of waterfalls in India, to be sorted by "India", not by "List". 97.85.251.254 (talk) 03:32, 19 September 2019 (UTC)


 * It seems you are confusing piped link labels, with what I'm doing, sorting category pages. The text I'm adding after the pipe symbol, is not a pipe label. It is merely for alpha-sorting the article within a category. Please see Category:Lists of waterfalls by country. Right now, because of your revert, List of waterfalls of India is the only article sorted under "L". The rest are sorted by the letters of the country. 97.85.251.254 (talk) 03:53, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
 * 97.85.251.254: Thanks for assuming good faith and explaining this to me. Per Help:Category it's valid and required. It also mentions: "Unlike a piped link (which uses the same syntax), the sort key itself is not displayed to readers. It affects only the order in which pages are listed on the category page. It is useful to document the system being used for sort keys on the category page.". I did indeed confuse them with piped links. Thank you for your efforts and I apologise for the lack of awareness. Accordingly, I have restored your edits. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 04:08, 19 September 2019 (UTC)


 * No problem. I needed to take a break from those repetitive edits anyway. All the best. 97.85.251.254 (talk) 04:20, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

No Country for Old Men
You hastily removed my pending edit on No Country for Old Men in two hours. You are invited to join the talk section I created to discuss this removal. 73.159.229.5 (talk) 07:50, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
 * @73.159.229.5: I haven't watched the film and I haven't either been involved in any of the discussions on its talk page. I reverted your edit only because there is a hidden message in the section implying that one may have to be careful of what one adds. I reverted your edit only because I couldn't find a consensus on the talk page. Given that you have started a discussion already, I hope other editors will respond there but given my lack of knowledge I opt out of it. -- Tamra vidhir  (talk) 07:57, 20 September 2019 (UTC)


 * The hidden message is to avoid ADDING interpretation, in particular whether the character was killed or not. What I did was to REMOVE interpretation that was added after a later date. Since you have not watched the film, and have taken no interest in digging into the details of this edit, and my initial edit was placed into a "pending" queue anyways, I request that you undo your removal of my edit. If you do not, I will, and if you insist on removing things hastily that you have no desire to look into or discussing on the talk page, I will file a dispute resolution and look for administrative sanction. Hasty editors that undo the work of others is discouraging to part-time contributors. 73.159.229.5 (talk) 11:35, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

But there are many missing references on that article, and the reason they are missing is because someone moved text from other articles, such as Navaratri, and didn'talso move the corresponding references, such as Bradley 2012 (which I just now added, so you can see what I am talking about)... ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk)
 * I understand. I will give the sources a look. I had copied text from my user-space though, and they had entirely new references not included in the article before. Tamra vidhir  (talk) 18:21, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

better sources
You need better sources. Go to Google Scholar and carefully choose a few. Then request them at WP:RX. Don't request irrelevant ones.. these look good: ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 14:44, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Bhattacharya, Tithi. "Tracking the goddess: religion, community, and identity in the Durga Puja ceremonies of nineteenth-century Calcutta." The Journal of Asian Studies 66.4 (2007): 919-962.
 * Mazumdar, B. C. "XIII. Durga: Her Origin and History." Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society 38.2 (1906): 355-362.
 * Thank you so much, Lingzhi! I have just been quite busy with work irl, also given that Durga puja starts day after. Hence, have been unable to edit much these days, though the article continues to stand in need for improvement. I recently started reading Kumkum Chatterjee's Goddess encounters: Mughals, Monsters and the Goddess in Bengal (2013); she studies the role of the Mughal empire in the development of goddess worship in Bengal. I shall also read the sources you have listed and get back to WP:RX. Quite sadly, I had not known of WP:RX earlier. It seems to be of great help. Thank you so much for the constant help and getting back to me. I am unsure when I will be able to get back to working on it, but inshallah I hope something comes out of it.

 * There's absolutely no rush, of course! When it comes to Wikipedia, I am a firm believer in eventualism. Slow and steady is the name of the game – and even "steady" isn't really all that necessary.:-). Cheers. ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 10:30, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Only one very quick question! Unfamiliar with Indian clothing customs (bracelets)
I am unfamiliar with Indian clothing customs. In the "Social disruption" section of Bengal famine of 1943 there is a photo that Fowler&fowler (who is on wikibreak, and I do not wish to disturb him) has labeled "Destitute mother and child Bengal famine 1943". Following this description, I made the alt text: "Alt text: Old photograph of a woman squatting and tiny, emaciated toddler standing on a sidewalk. The woman is shirtless but squatting to conceal her breasts. The toddler is wearing rags." But ... you know... those arms look kinda muscular, and so does the back.. the face is a bit unclear and a bit androgynous, so might be a young man, maybe late teens (?) .. do the bracelets definitely mark the wearer as female? ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 06:05, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, sorry for the late response. I have been on a break as well and hadn't seen your message earlier. I would say it is a woman. Those bangles seem to me shankha bangles worn by women in the east of the Indian subcontinent. You can find a picture of the bangles here. Traditionally, it has been worn by women. Though the physique must have been toned by manual labour, I would say the wearer is a female. Tamra vidhir  (talk) 12:01, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Shankha pola is traditionally seen as the mark of being married in the east. I am unsure of the text in this source but you can see an image of the red and white bangles here. Tamra vidhir  (talk) 12:05, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that's useful information. Cheers! ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 12:16, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
