Request

Hello, I've seen your created articles like Pratapgarh state and they are very impressive. I would appreciate if you could make an article on Kharagpur/Kharakpur chieftaincy of Munger, Bihar. It was a Muslim Rajput dynasty that had a major impact on the history of Bihar. Some reading here:

https://www.jstor.org/stable/44155867

https://www.jstor.org/stable/44142804

https://www.jstor.org/stable/44142975

I don't have an account so I can't create myself and since you've done a lot for Muslim South Asian history I was wondering if you could take a look? If you make an account of JSTOR you get 6 free article viewings. Thanks.2605:3E80:700:10:0:0:0:5A82 (talk) 14:48, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

Indian genealogy

Can you just hang on with your reverts of {{Ahnentafel}} stuff, please. You were bold in adding them, I reverted on some articles and I've opened a discussion at one where you then reverted me. Let's try to get some further input. It will probably need to go to a thread at WT:INB but just perhaps there will be enough to persuade either you or me at the thread I have opened at Talk:Bhagwant Das. - Sitush (talk) 20:59, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Theodore Kantakouzenos

Hello, Alivardi,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Slatersteven and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Theodore Kantakouzenos should be deleted. Your comments are welcome over Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Theodore Kantakouzenos .

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not ballot-polls. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Slatersteven}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

@Slatersteven: Alright buddy, thanks for letting me know. Alivardi (talk) 16:51, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Theodore Kantakouzenos

Hi, I saw a reference in the article Theodore Kantakouzenos that I think has the wrong date. The book is "The Byzantine Inheritance of Eastern Europe" by Dimitri Obolensky, and the citation says it was published in 1969. From what I can find, the book was originally published in 1982, with a republish in 1996, which makes me think the 9 and the 6 might've just been flipped by accident. If this is the case, I can go ahead and fix it. If not, I'll take you at your word; you seem incredibly knowledgeable about this.

Another date that seems to be of issue is Nicol's entry "Byzantium: Its Ecclesiastical History and Relations with the Western World" in the Variorum Collected Studies, as it seems this was first published in 1972, and that the first title in the series was published in 1970, yet it's listed as 1968 in the citation.

Also, I know it's probably stressful seeing your article get nominated for deletion, but I think it was nominated wrongfully, and I don't think there's a chance such a well-sourced article will be removed. All the best, TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 23:59, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

@TheTechnician27: Thank you, that's very kind of you to say. Regarding the dates, honestly I've been getting those ones from Google Books, which can be prone to mistakes. So if you do spot any, of course feel free to correct them. Alivardi (talk) 00:24, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
@Alivardi: Thank you. I also added some information to them, including a link to The Cambridge Medieval History on the Internet Archive. I made the assumption, by the way, that "A Byzantine emperor in England: Manuel II's visit to London in 1400–1401" by Donald Nicol was a chapter in Byzantium: Its Ecclesiastical History and Relations with the Western World and not part of the title, but I can revert it if this was incorrect. Again, your sourcing in the article is excellent, especially for how new it is. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 00:47, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
@TheTechnician27: It was my understanding that rather than a chapter, it was actually a study which was published alongside a collection of others (I only had access to that one particular section). Though I think what you did works in that scenario as well. Anyways, I really do appreciate your additions to the citations, so thank you. Alivardi (talk) 10:56, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
I'm glad you appreciate it; it often goes unnoticed. With your permission, something you may want to consider using for the citations that say "[Person] explains/notes/argues xyz" followed by a reference to a source is a template called an explanatory footnote, or 'Efn'. The explanations go in their own smaller section just above 'References', usually called 'Notes' or 'Footnotes'. The goal is both to make the references more flexible (e.g., say you want to cite a work twice, but the explanation for the first instance makes no sense for the second) and to make them more readable.

Thanks buddy, I'll remember that Alivardi (talk) 04:25, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi Alivardi, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled.

Literary taste removes any paste!

Dear Alivardi, Thanks for your revolutionary editing. I am sorry that you did not find my exposition titled the Legend of Husayn or Husaynian Legend worthy of being calculated as a wiki contribution. In my part, although it was condensed, there were some key notions incorporated into the text worthy of being developed at least by other editors. Religious discourses like any other hermeneutic explanation have different layers of meaning, in this case not confined to an emotional survey of the epic.

History of Sylhet

Hi Alivardi, I am working on the History of Sylhet and need some help on what to include and not to include. For example, your page on Pratapgarh Kingdom, is an important part of the Sylhet's history but I can't add every bit of information about it to the History of Sylhet page as it will be too long. I require some assistance with this and organising my article in general. Many thanks.

Hi UserNumber. I've noticed your work on that page and I really appreciate the amount of effort you've put in. However, I'm not sure I can be much help regarding the general history of Sylhet. The articles I have written relating to Sylhet have mainly been about topics of which I had some prior knowledge; my understanding of the overall history of the region is somewhat lacking. I can do general edits and give suggestions for what you have written so far, but I am not really able to provide anything needing specialist knowledge. Is that okay?
In regards to the history of Pratapgarh, I cannot see any issues with what you have written already. Making some short mention of the eventual fate of the kingdom may be beneficial, but I don't believe anything beyond that is really necessary. Maybe add something like this at the end of the main paragraph: "the kingdom later collapsed following an invasion by Kachar in the early 18th century".
Alivardi (talk) 21:15, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
Thank you. I would also like to upload some images for some articles that I have created. I have not uploaded images on this website before so could you please do the favour of uploading these for me: Syed Abdul Majid (http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=File:MajidSyedAbdul.jpg) and I'tisam-ud-Din (https://assetsds.cdnedge.bluemix.net/sites/default/files/styles/very_big_2/public/news/images/01_0.png?itok=p7jIYhkC and https://pictures.abebooks.com/INLIBRIS/16402381929_3.jpg)
Many thanks once again UserNumber (talk) 16:21, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
I've uploaded the first two pictures. I haven't done the third because I think it would be best to include the name of the book which it came from, which I don't have access to. Here is the link to upload an image on to Wikimedia Commons (which is where Wikipedia images are sourced from) if you wanted to upload the last one yourself. You should be able to just log in with your Wikipedia account, after which there is a 2 minute process to include the necessary info about the picture before uploading it.
Alivardi (talk) 13:54, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
May Allah reward you my dear brother, I really appreciate it UserNumber (talk) 16:08, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
I am having trouble understanding Upload Wizard. How did you upload those two pictures if they weren't yours? How did you know what the copyright claim for images are? Many thanksUserNumber (talk) 09:55, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
I tend to click the "First published before 1924 and author deceased more than 70 years ago" option. The best thing to do is find the original source for the image to confirm this.
E.g. if you're talking about the second I'tisam-ud-Din image which I hadn't uploaded before, just check that the book it was from had been published before 1924 and that the artist (if one is attributed) has been dead for more that 70 years.

Arbitrarily wiping content on Shahrbanu

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.


Please stop arbitrarily wiping content on the article for Shahrbanu. Removing content regarding the reports concerning her in order to push a one-sided view, removing translations of the person’s name, etc. to push your POV is disruptive editing. — LissanX (talk) 01:41, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

Accusations of vandalism and POV pushing are very serious and in no way refute my concerns regarding your edits. I ask that you either address my concerns, show me why they aren't warrented or (if you really think I'm a vandal) report me to the appropriate Admin Noticeboard.
Alivardi (talk) 01:58, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
You removed this content:

The date of reports, however, coincide with the golden age of Hadith compilations, with the Shia Four Books and Sunni Six Books all being released in the 9th century, as written Islamic reports were sparse prior to this period.

From this paragraph:

Islamic writers, such as al-Mubarrad, Ya'qubi and al-Kulayni, wrote the earliest reports of Shahrbanu and her imperial Persian background from the 9th century onward. However, the earliest sources make no mention of the mother of Ali ibn Husayn, nor do they ascribe him with maternal royal ancestry. The first references were from Ibn Sa'd and Ibn Qutaybah, also in the 9th century, who instead describe her as being a slave from Sindh. The Encyclopædia Iranica alleges that Shahrbanu was "undeniably legendary".

Why would you censor this highly relevant information to enforce a skewed view that manipulates the reader into thinking Islamic reports from the 9th century are unreliable or dubious? Additionally, why would you remove part of the translation of the person’s name? Your edits are disruptive and prejudicial. — LissanX (talk) 02:08, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
Read my edit summaries.
Alivardi (talk) 02:12, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
I added multiple sources for the already publicly known information. All of this was already available in the pages linked to. I also added to the translation's meaning. — LissanX (talk) 02:52, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
Please tone down the references a bit. Other than that, I consider my concerns addressed. Thank you.
Alivardi (talk) 02:56, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
You’re welcome. I’ve removed six of them, leaving five. If there are any further issues please let me know. — LissanX (talk) 03:08, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
There is actually one last thing. Can you confirm that Shahrbanu herself is mentioned in the sources you provided? I want to avoid any issues with WP:ORIGINAL.
Alivardi (talk) 13:54, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
She’s mentioned in some of them, but the sources are for the fact that the Four Books of Shias and the Six Books of Sunnis were all produced around the 9th century, not regarding Shahrbanu herself. — LissanX (talk) 20:13, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

@LissanX:, don't add random religious sites as citations please, they are not reliable. Also, please see --HistoryofIran (talk) 16:03, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Not reliable according to who? I didn’t realize Wikipedia only allowed secular sources. You expect for articles on religious figures and subjects to not have religious sources? lol. — LissanX (talk) 20:27, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Maharaja Ranjit Singh

'As consistent with many punjabis of that time, he was a cultural Hindu and followed the Sikh path.' - is what I wrote on that page as its consistent with the writings on McCleod & Co. A Cultural Hindu, simply put, is somebody who just partakes in the cultural side of 'Hinduism', for example, partaking in certain Poojas or being homage to certain Vedic deities. However, you removed it stating that it was not sourced properly, could you rectify this please?

My objection was you stating Ranjit Singh's religion to be Hinduism in the infobox, despite "Cultural Hindu" not implying religious adherence to the faith. However, I did not intend to remove the sentence you added to the lead, and for this I apologise. I have restored the sentence, but in the main article rather than where you had originally placed it. This is because content in the lead must reflect the main points of the article and cannot introduce new information (see MOS:LEAD). Thanks
Alivardi (talk) 13:09, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for response, I attempted to change the 'religious' box to 'identity', hence I added the word 'Hindu' in (I'll leave the debate regarding 'religion' being the appropriate way to describe a Dharmic 'mode of being' for another page!) Thank you for rectifying my mistake though. I'll try an add in a separate box which goes into identity/'world-view'.  Preceding unsigned comment added by English Singh (talkcontribs) 21:00, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

Chakrapani Datta

Hello, and thank you for submitting Chakrapani Datta to Wikipedia Asian Month. Unfortunately, the article's acceptance is put on hold for now as it appears that some sentences were copied from Banglapedia without attribution. Please rephrase the parts in question so that the article can be accepted. Thank you and happy editing. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 23:26, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

While I appreciate you voicing your concerns, I have to disagree. All relevant content is properly attributed to the Banglapedia article you mentioned. However, if your primary worry is that the wording of the article is too similar to that of the source material, I will of course try to correct that. Thank you.
Alivardi (talk) 01:28, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
Sure, once the paragraph in question is revised, the article will be accepted. Thanks. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:32, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

You said that proper grammar would be nice. Then you should remove "one of the most powerful Iranian rulers in the history of the nation" into "one of the most powerful rulers in the Iranian history" if "one of the most powerful Iranian rulers in the Iranian history" doesn't please you. What is "history of the nation", this is not Encyclopedia Iranica. See WP:NPOV. Beshogur (talk) 10:56, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Feel free to change it. Just be careful with your grammar.
Alivardi (talk) 11:00, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
And FYI, it should be "one of the most powerful rulers in Iranian history", not "one of the most powerful rulers in the Iranian history".
Alivardi (talk) 11:05, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
Fine. Thanks. Glad you agree. Beshogur (talk) 11:06, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
@Beshogur: Just a little FYI: You do realize that the vast majority of articles in Iranica are written by well-known non-Iranian scholars (Bosworth, etc), right? Even if that wasn't the case, Iranica is still clearly a reliable and neutral source. You refer to it as it was the opposite . --HistoryofIran (talk) 11:17, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
@HistoryofIran: I have no problem with Iranica. Iranica doesn't even say the word "of the nation". I don't understand the problem with mentioning it directly as Iranian history? "of the nation" is a wording like Wikipedia belongs only to Iranians. Beshogur (talk) 11:21, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
@Beshogur: HistoryofIran said that last comment, not me.
Alivardi (talk) 11:24, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
Huh? I never said anything regarding the wording once. Let's just leave this. --HistoryofIran (talk) 11:30, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Information icon Hello, I got yur message on my talk page. All I did was add the "exact comments" that the reference is being is pointed to. This is what the comments were "500 killed or wounded[4] 100-200 surrendered Another 300–400 killed or wounded while escaping over steep rocks[5]

and I corrected the wording per the reference its pointing to.

500 Gallant Rajputs killed or wounded[4] Few Surrendered Several hundreds chose the desperate alternative of venturing over the rocks. Many died in this attempt.[5]

These are the exact wording in the reference. What is the need of assumption even after what it says in the reference?

The 1000-1400 is also pointing to same reference whereas there is no such information in the reference. Its pretty much a lie covered up using reference that it doesn't even relate to. Not arguing with you but just making my point. So do you think my change was still incorrect? WorldWikiAuthorOriginal | talk 15:01, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

My concern is the use of words such as "gallant" and "desperate" in relation to the Rajputs, which seem to display an inappropriate preference towards them and attempt to elicit an emotional response from readers in their favour. The fact that the referenced text itself uses such language is inconsequential, because Wikipedia must remain neutral, even if our sources are not.
Alivardi (talk) 15:17, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
Understood but what about this as neutral,
500 killed or wounded[4]
Few Surrendered
Several hundreds chose the desperate alternative of venturing over the rocks. Many died in this attempt.[5]
Does this sound neutral?
And how about removing "Mughals" where it says 1000-1400 Mughals, making it just 1000-1400. We already know that Rajputs were fighting on behalf of Mughal Empire. And it was a mix of both Rajput and Mughal Soldiers. So there is no point to mention Mughals after the number. Also 1000-1400 is an assumption. Not exact number or has mention of it in the reference given.
WorldWikiAuthorOriginal | talk 15:27, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
I have no problem with correcting the Mughals and troop numbers part. The escape attempt section seems too wordy for an infobox and still includes the word "desperate".

Bharatpur state

Why you are adding jadaun fake story with bharatpur state page Maharajaranjitsingh123 (talk) 17:19, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

I did not add anything to that article. I only reverted the changes which you had made. Please refer to my edit summary for my reasons.

Pal family

Information icon Hello, I'm Ouchmynips. Hi , I am new to Wikipedia and I noticed you removed my edit on the PAL family page. I am of ethnic Hindu Bangladeshi Zamindari descent, and my ancestors, with the Pal surname have for as long as we can remember also been a strong presence in the Chittagong district of Bangladesh. It is hard to find sources and records of the British East India company from the 19th century but my great grand father Jamuni Chandra Pal ( later anglicized to Paul ) ran and provided the entire boating and maritime infrastructure to the East India company for shipping and logistics from Bengal to Rangoon. I hope this satisfies you and you restore my edit at the earliest. Thank you.

Hi. I've checked the citation you provided but I'm not seeing any mention of a relationship between the Pals of Chittagong and the Pals of Sylhet, who this article is about. Is there any reason why you believe they're the same family? Remember, Pal is not an unusual surname and not everyone with it has to be related.

The meaning of the word Mirashdar(মিরাশদার) is said to be rightful heir as per বাংলা ভাষার বিবর্তনমূলক অভিধান .  Preceding unsigned comment added by Ibnsalsq (talkcontribs) 21:29, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

@Ibnsalsq: Firstly, a new citation needs to be included in an articles text when you add new information. Secondly, in regards to the word Mirashdar, what the role actually is would be more relevant to the context of the article as opposed to the literal meaning of the word. As an example, the literal meaning of the title Chowdhury is "holder of four". That doesn't mean it makes sense to include that meaning whenever the word is mentioned.

Caste of Hem Chandra Vikramaditya

Hem Chandra Vikramaditya or Hemu was son of a Rajpurohit (Chief Priest) of Raja Ishwar Chandra of Maccheri kingdom of Rajputana during 1490s and early 1500s,in present day Rajasthan. Puran Chand was a Brahmin and after Mughals capture of north India became a saint and lived at Brindavan in the Ashram of Vallabh Sampdray. Manuscripts of Puran Chandra activities are available in Ashram even at present times. He was not a supplier only of Salt Petre (Gun Powder) but manufactured canons in Rewari with Portuguese help and supplied Cannons and Gun powder to Sher Shah Suri's army during 1530s. There is no bar on Brahmins to do innovative works. He was the first Canon manufacturer in North India. Only Mughal king Babur had brought cannons in north India in 1526 for the first time. There are many references to this. This fact that Hemu was a Brahmin needs to be placed on page Hemu. Just because Abul Fazal, Akbar's record keeper described Hemu as a trader of Salt Petre in Akbarnama, Hemu is written as a Vaishy (Bania). All his family members were Brahmins, mostly Purohits with various kingdoms of Rajputs of that time, that had helped him to become a king himself in short time. 103.82.80.206 (talk) 10:04, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Your question

You asked at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Iseefire1001 if I thought your concerns were justified. The IP's edit on Iseefire1001's talk page is pretty convincing but the other diffs don't show comparable changes.

Blocks are meant to be preventative, not punitive. In that regard an IP editor is stale within a few days, and there's been no activity from that IP since 27 Mar. A block right now would be preventing nothing.

A {{uw-login}} caution on Iseefire1001's talk page may have been more productive but would now be pointless. Hope that helps, Cabayi (talk) 11:08, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

@Cabayi: Thanks for replying. Honestly, I wasn't really expecting a block at this point. I just wanted confirmation that there was evidence of wrongdoing here, in case there is ever a repeat of this incident.

Abdul Matin Chowdhury

I wonder why you reverted the edit I made, which added the details of the subject's family background. The details are completely correct and taken from the same source as the rest of the details in the article. Many thanks. Zindarood (talk) 19:37, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

I had explained my reasons on my edit summary, but I'll elaborate. Firstly, I cannot find a mention of Abdul Wahab Chowdhury on the pages you cited. Secondly, Abdul Wahab is not relevant to this article's subject, since their only apparent connections are that they were very distantly related and that Abdul Wahab had taught at the latter's school two centuries before he was born. This article is about Abdul Matin Chowdhury and any content in it should be directly relevant to him. I hope this cleared up any confusion.
Alivardi (talk) 20:09, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
There is a clear mention in that section of the biography though the page numbers may have been incorrect in my haste. It is normal in biographies to note significant relationships, and in Sufism you ought to know that the idea of spiritual lineage and forebears is even more important than genetic lineage. Maulana was very proud of his connection to Shah Abdul Wahab Chowdhury, and referred constantly to the influence of his teachings. But there is no point explaining this to the ignorant. Zindarood (talk) 22:00, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
Petty insults aren't gonna get you anywhere. If you want to write about Abdul Wahab Chowdhury, feel free to create an article for him. Here are instructions on writing your first article. I wish you the best of luck.
Alivardi (talk) 17:57, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. I would like, however belatedly, to apologise for my tone, and I defer to your experience on these matters. Zindarood (talk) 11:55, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

@Zindarood: No problem, looking back at these messages, I think I could have been less blunt myself. Thank you. Alivardi (talk) 16:31, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Data removed for Maharaja Jawahar Singh and Maharaja Surajmal deliberately from Wikipedia

RationalThinkerHindu (talk) 21:40, 21 April 2020 (UTC)Dear Alivardi,

It seems data of particular Kings are deleted deliberately. Every now and then we see changes and now entire history is removed for Maharaja Jawahar Singh and Maharaja Suraj Mal . Could you let me know why this has happened. Also , it seems Wikipedia is doing biased editing for particular community and removing data for other communities.

Regards, RationalThinker

@RationalThinkerHindu: Not the entire history, just your edit which had violated copyright. This was explained both in my edit summary and the message I had left on your talk page. Hope this cleared things up.

Confused in the Blond page

Can you please have a look at the blond main page or if want to talk page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blond#Asia (on the talk page, right at the bottom I made a section) I want to know are you allowed to edit possible mythical people as blonde only in the Asia section. All of them ethnic groups and historical are not unconfirmed as blonde, that's the mainstream, only a minority view them as blond. I checked and nobody as ever edit any of that since the blond wiki page was created inul 2 weeks ago. Those are ethnic groups don't correspond with modern ethnic groups and other descriptions give them a different version than blond. It doesn't seem like a place to edit historical ethnic groups, the Europe, Oceanic, Africa section doesn't have any of that either. -- Shinoshijak (talk) , 23 April 2020 —Preceding undated comment added 15:12, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

This isn't a topic that I am particularly familiar with and I don't believe I'd be able to provide any meaningful contribution to your discussion. If you're after an unbiased third opinion, I recommend making a request here. Hope that helps.

Editing in Maharao Shekha or Shekha of Amerser, please discuss before edit it again

Alivardi Why you changed the content despite I have mentioned a authenticated source by a very famous historian james tod. I can also give you the newer and other editions of his book so you do not need to complaint poor writing and all. I am updating it again kindly download the book through my given reference link (newer & clear writing edition) than lets discuss. You can check the James tod publication and all the details below 'see also' link and go to the publication segment, Also please tell the reason for removing the pictures & See Also links???  Preceding unsigned comment added by Chaitanyasinghshekhawat (talkcontribs) 16:01, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

The citation you added, Annals and Antiquities of Rajast'han or the Central and Western Rajpoot States of India by James Tod, was written nearly 200 years ago. As per WP:AGE MATTERS (a Wikipedia policy), using sources this old can be problematic. It is especially inappropriate in the case of this article, since you used it to replace content from a much newer reference. Using more recent editions doesn't change these issues. This is ignoring the fact that Tod's text is filled with inaccuracies which make it a poor reference.
However, the bigger issue is your style of writing, which was fairly confusing and in some parts made little sense. For example, you seem to imply that Shaikh Burhan had been the father of Shekha, which I'm sure was not your intention. I understand the difficulties of using English as a second language, but the English Wikipedia needs its editors to have a strong competence in it (see WP:COMPETENCE). You might find it easier to make contributions to the Wikipedia of your native language. For example, the Hindi Wikipedia has a page for Shekha here. I hope this clears up any confusion.
Alivardi (talk) 19:15, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
This page details are almost 500 years old so I have tried to relate it more near past which is 200 years ago, also james tod publication is trusted by many government & history departments of various indian universities & senior historians so you can check that also. He spend most of his life in india rajputana or current Rajasthan state(its not your mistake I understand you are not from india). If you talk about your reference writer even he is also lived india almost more than 100 years ago so even his reference is also not trusted or authenticated go to here for his life details. It could be understand james tod spend a lot of more years in Rajputana but A H bingley spend almost nothing in this region so james tod details are more accurate compare to him also he have mentioned almost 50 pages with the details but A H bingley wrote 2 or 3 pages with no details that is also prove my point also second thing it is not only about the edition there are many new books by some other writers I will add them for the reference too. For the example you said the concept of father of Shekha I have corrected it please check and will update in again in more accurate terminology with accurate data. I request you to not delete all the content without discussion, will talk for any other issue. Chaitanyasinghshekhawat (talk) 03:57, 29 April 2020 (UTC) comment added by Chaitanyasinghshekhawat (talkcontribs) 03:53, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
My apologies for the late reply. The qualifications you mentioned for Tod mean little beside the fact that the use of antiquated texts as citations is problematic, as I had mentioned previously. While it may be true that perspectives from closer to the time of a subject can have value, this would not apply here due to the separation of three centuries between Shekha and Tod. And again, the bigger issue in the article is the standard of your writing. I mentioned the confusing description of the relationship between Shekha and Shaikh Burhan as only an example; it is not the only wording problem in the article and besides, has still not been corrected. Since your edits, the page has been marked for having multiple issues, i.e the writing and the inappropriate promotional description of the subject; these were not problems which had existed previously. As I had stated earlier, I suggest that your efforts may be better spent on your own native language's version of the page. And if you are to continue contributing to Wikipedia, I strongly urge you to include page numbers in your citations, which would otherwise be of little use. Thank you.
