Would anyone here be interested in reformatting this article so it's not in broken-up wikitables anymore? It's difficult to edit in this form, and I don't think it's really following the guidance at [[MOS:TABLES]]. -- [[User:Asilvering|asilvering]] ([[User talk:Asilvering|talk]]) 19:50, 5 May 2024 (UTC) |

:I'm divided on caste categories in general. On one hand, it's sorta comparable to all the categories on African-American people, and no one would dream of deleting, say, [[:Category:African-American actors]]. OTOH, caste categories would be full of pointless fights and a total nightmare to maintain, plus caste isn't inflexible in the way race is. In any case caste + occupation + location is way too narrow (and, as I said, a huge timesink), and so I think it should be deleted as well.

Cross Project Work
Hello India Editors! Editors over at the WikiProject Unreferenced Articles are discussing working with other WikiProjects to tackle their backlog. This might take the form of a backlog drive or building up a shared resource to find reliable sources. We'd like you to be involved in the discussion because India was identified as being a topic with a large number of articles lacking references - please join the discussion here. -- D'n'B-t -- 06:47, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Concern about inflammatory content
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. Evansknight (talk) 14:32, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- It looks like the content was added by a now-banned sockpuppet account, what is the policy in dealing with content added by a banned user? Evansknight (talk) 14:38, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
See WP:BANREVERT and WP:SOCKSTRIKE. You are free to revert any edits made by a banned socking editor regardless of their merit. Ratnahastin (talk) 15:21, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Wikiproject WPL notice
Hi! A separate Wikiproject for Women's Premier League (cricket) has been proposed. For it to be established a minimum number editors are needed to show their support to the Wikiproject. Interested editors please to show your support. Thanks!
See the Wikiproject draft here. You can also invite others by placing {{subst:User:Vestrian24Bio/Wikiproject Women's Premier League (cricket)/Invitation}}

Starting this July, we will see a new contest on the scene - the Developing Countries WikiContest (WP:DCWC)! Think of it as a WikiCup but only for articles and media on developing countries.
Competitors may submit GAs, GTs, FAs, FTs, FLs, FPs, and DYK and ITN entries from/on developing countries to gain points and proceed to further rounds. Points are also awarded to those who review GAs, FAs and FLs.
India is listed as a developing country for the purposes of this contest, so I encourage everyone here to sign up and compete with editors from around the world to create high-quality content!
Append your name to the DCWC signup page today!
Best wishes, Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI (talk to me!/my edits) 04:21, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Request for help in Editing a new article by an inexperienced member
I humbly request the kind assistance of the team in editing the article on Shri T. Aliba Imti. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft%3AT._Aliba_Imti&oldid=prev&diff=1198574337

Are magazine, newspaper articles exempt from WP:NOINDICSCRIPT?
Are magazine, newspaper articles exempt from the WP:NOINDICSCRIPT policy? Note this change and the short t/p discussion here. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:33, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Fylindfotberserk: WP:NOINDICSCRIPTS states
"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)
