== Concern about inflammatory content == |
|||
== Participate in Coordinate Me 2024 and win gifts== |
|||
If you visit the page on the [[Oudh State]] and look at the section labeled '''Shuja-ud-Daula''', you will see an extensive section of text referring specifically to the activities of the eunuch Jawahir Ali Khan. This same text appears ''verbatim'' on the [[Slavery in India]] page under the section '''Twelver Shia Turkic ruled Oudh state'''. My concern is manifold: one, obviously content should never appear on two separate pages, so this must be remedied. I do not know which page it makes more sense on, for the way in which it is currently integrated is both sloppy and badly written. It appears to be well-sourced, but the language used by the author seems to be purposely inflammatory and anti-muslim. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but if someone could take a look, and let me know what we should do, if anything, I would greatly appreciate it.

Please participate in [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Coordinate_Me_2024 Coordinate Me 2024] during May 2024 and win gifts. Support in improving the quality of geographical coordinates for the villages of Andhra Pradesh. This helps improve maps in Wikipedia, and OpenStreetMap. As a first priority, add coordinates for revenue village entries using AP State GIS portal. This is very easy. From the required villages ([https://w.wiki/9uQ$ Example query for Guntur district]), search for the coordinates in [https://stategisportal.nic.in/stategisportal/Home/Map/28 AP State GIS portal ] using Geocode locator menu. You can use village name and mandal/district name if required. Click coordinate symbol in Measurement menu and move the mouse to the place name and copy the displayed coordinates. Paste these coordinates and edit to change the order and separate them with a comma. Add reference with "stated in" and value as "APSGISP" ([https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q12434524&diff=prev&oldid=2139311716 Example addition]) In the past Telugu wikipedian as part of photography contest, added coordinates using online sources such as Google. But these can not be transferred to Wikidata, as wikidata is CC-0 licensed. Currently fo Andhra pradesh, there are coordinate entries for about 5000 revenue villages out of 16000 revenue villages. Many of them also are defective due to import from various wikipedias without validation check. This activity is very helpful for improving maps on Wikipedia and also for providing OSM Telugu maps using wikidata mapping to OSM. For more information check [https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/arjunaraoc/diary my OSM diary entry "Improving geodata accuracy on OSM and Wikidata" ]. [https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/wikidata/Coordinate_Me_2024_IN_(2024)?enroll= Enroll here] with your wikipedia account and start contributing. Contact me for any clarifications.

[[Kalloor]] appears to be a [[WP:HOAX]]. Created August 31, 2005, not subatantially altered since. Only other inbound link is [[Shri Datta Venkata Sai Temple]], itself made in 2009 and turning up no non-Wikipedia mirrors. It's possibly I'm missing something and these were just not translated properly from one of the many languages used in India. However, the lack of... ''anything'' on Kalloor, along with spurious claims of the apostle Thomas being killed there -- itself not supported by [[Thomas the Apostle]]. While Kalloor does appear to be a given name in India, the claims about the family name's origins are not backed up by any sources. As these also existed at the same time as the spurious claims of the city, it's very likely all of that is hoax too. <span style="color:green">'''Ten Pound Hammer'''</span> • <sup>([[User talk:TenPoundHammer|What did I screw up now?]])</sup> 23:09, 4 May 2024 (UTC) |

"This avoidance of Indic scripts only applies to articles that are predominantly India-related and is excluded from, among others, articles about Hinduism, Buddhism, or any of India's neighbouring countries."
, so long the newspaper or magazine is related to India, use of Indic scripts on those articles would be forbidden. Hindustan (newspaper) is an Indian newspaper and mostly circulated in India, so I don't think the use of Indic scripts would be appropriate here. Ratnahastin (talk) 13:21, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
