A question regarding sanskirt wikitionary definitions

Why are Sanskrit wikitionary definitions so incomprehensive?

The page doesn't even show all the verb forms, let alone participals. The noun forms are alright but there are lots of pages that simply don't exist (marked in red) and have pages that go nowhere. Hell, some words arent even defined. For the Latin definitions on the other hand, a page exists for every single noun and verb form (which is a great convince for learners). What is the matter here, is there some technical difficulty with the dictionary sources or just lack of community involvement? — Preceding unsigned comment added by VultureV1 (talk • contribs) 09:58, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

@VultureV1: There are only 3 people with any interest in Sanskrit at Wiktionary. Only one (not me) knows any Lua, so the onus comes on them to implement the conjugation and declension tables sadly. Latin has dozens of Wiktionary editors and several bots. Latin has more focus since almost all Latin learners know English, whereas most Sanskrit learners and acharyas only speak an Indian languages at a native level. Naturally, they will not contribute to the English Wiktionary. Finally, all the inflected forms are made by bots, and as of now no bots have been running to add such entries for Sanskrit.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited String Quartet No. 3 (Bartók), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Musical score. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Sind Province (1936-47)

Hi, i see you quickly reverted an edit that I made at Sind Province (1936-47), which was fine to do. I was myself just checking the edit and was figuring out that the links I put in were not correct, in fact needed to be changed, and was proceeding with that. You were right to indicate it was not correct, thanks. However, now I see that the whole new article is a duplicate of Sind Province (1936–55), an article which existed since 2002. So, the current article should be redirected, and any different new content should be merged. Do you want to do the redirecting and merging? To implement the redirect, you just erase the current content and replace it with #REDIRECT [[Sind Province (1936–55)]] cheers, --doncram 13:11, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

I was hoping that Sind Province (1936-55) could be split, but there seems to be no support. I suppose I'll do that. Aryamanarora^{talk, contribs} 15:11, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

I see you did the redirect, good. In the 1936-55 article, there is only one sentence in section Sind Province (1936-55)#1936–1947, so it doesn't look like it needs to be split out. You could develop that section with whatever you were intending to put into a separate article. And eventually ask for support in splitting, if you still think that would be good, at its Talk page.

By the way, i edited the 1936-55 article's mention of adjacent princely states and provinces. This included fixing wikilinks and also adding provinces that were not mentioned before. And I reorganized it to mention them in clockwise order. There are some simplifications, e.g. that West Punjab was a province during only 1947-1955, which I was mentioning in one version but took out. Sind was in fact bordered by West Punjabe, at least for some of the larger date range. I think it it is narrated accurately now but I'd be very happy if you would check and refine it if necessary. It's the section Sind Province (1936–55)#Location. Thanks, --doncram 20:40, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Jan Michał Rozwadowski

The article Jan Michał Rozwadowski has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 5

Newsletter • October 2015

Hello there! Happy to be writing this newsletter once more. This month:

We did it!

In July, we launched five pilot WikiProjects: WikiProjects Cannabis, Evolutionary Biology, Ghana, Hampshire, and Women's Health. We also use the new design, named "WPX UI," on WikiProject Women in Technology, Women in Red, WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health. We are currently looking for projects for the next round of testing. If you are interested, please sign up on the Pilots page.

Shortly after our launch we presented at Wikimania 2015. Our slides are on Wikimedia Commons.

Then after all that work, we went through the process of figuring out whether we accomplished our goal. We reached out to participants on the redesigned WikiProjects, and we asked them to complete a survey. (If you filled out your survey—thank you!) While there are still some issues with the WikiProject tools and the new design, there appears to be general satisfaction (at least among those who responded). The results of the survey and more are documented in our grant report filed with the Wikimedia Foundation.

The work continues!

There is more work that needs to be done, so we have applied for a renewal of our grant. Comments on the proposal are welcome. We would like to improve what we have already started on the English Wikipedia and to also expand to Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. Why those? Because they are multilingual projects and because there needs to be better coordination across Wikimedia projects. More details are available in the renewal proposal.

How can the Wikimedia Foundation support WikiProjects?

The Wikimedia Developer Summit will be held in San Francisco in January 2016. The recently established Community Tech team at the Wikimedia Foundation is interested in investigating what technical support they can provide for WikiProjects, i.e., support beyond just templates and bots. I have plenty of opinions myself, but I want to hear what you think. The session is being planned on Phabricator, the Wikimedia bug tracker. If you are not familiar with Phabricator, you can log in with your Wikipedia username and password through the "Login or Register: MediaWiki" button on the login page. Your feedback can help make editing Wikipedia a better experience.

Until next time,

Speedy deletion nomination of Shabdkosh

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Shabdkosh, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 04:41, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 6

Newsletter • January 2016

Hello there! Happy to be writing this newsletter once more. This month:

What comes next

Some good news: the Wikimedia Foundation has renewed WikiProject X. This means we can continue focusing on making WikiProjects better.

During our first round of work, we created a prototype WikiProject based on two ideas: (1) WikiProjects should clearly present things for people to do, and (2) The content of WikiProjects should be automated as much as possible. We launched pilots, and for the most part it works. But this approach will not work for the long term. While it makes certain aspects of running a WikiProject easier, it makes the maintenance aspects harder.

We are working on a major overhaul that will address these issues. New features will include:

• Creating WikiProjects by simply filling out a form, choosing which reports you want to generate for your project. This will work with existing bots in addition to the Reports Bot reports. (Of course, you can also have sections curated by humans.)
• One-click button to join a WikiProject, with optional notifications.
• Be able to define your WikiProject's scope within the WikiProject itself by listing relevant pages and categories, eliminating the need to tag every talk page with a banner. (You will still be allowed to do that, of course. It just won't be required.)

The end goal is a collaboration tool that can be used by WikiProjects but also by any edit-a-thon or group of people that want to coordinate on improving articles. Though implemented as an extension, the underlying content will be wikitext, meaning that you can continue to use categories, templates, and other features as you normally would.

This will take a lot of work, and we are just getting started. What would you like to see? I invite you to discuss on our talk page.

Until next time,

Harej (talk) 02:53, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

This month:

One database for Wikipedia requests

Development of the extension for setting up WikiProjects, as described in the last issue of this newsletter, is currently underway. No terribly exciting news on this front.

In the meantime, we are working on a prototype for a new service we hope to announce soon. The problem: there are requests scattered all across Wikipedia, including requests for new articles and requests for improvements to existing articles. We Wikipedians are very good at coming up with lists of things to do. But once we write these lists, where do they end up? How can we make them useful for all editors—even those who do not browse the missing articles lists, or the particular WikiProjects that have lists?

Introducing Wikipedia Requests, a new tool to centralize the various lists of requests around Wikipedia. Requests will be tagged by category and WikiProject, making it easier to find requests based on what your interests are. Accompanying this service will be a bot that will let you generate reports from this database on any wiki page, including WikiProjects. This means that once a request is filed centrally, it can syndicated all throughout Wikipedia, and once it is fulfilled, it will be marked as "complete" throughout Wikipedia. The idea for this service came about when I saw that it was easy to put together to-do lists based on database queries, but it was harder to do this for human-generated requests when those requests are scattered throughout the wiki, siloed throughout several pages. This should especially be useful for WikiProjects that have overlapping interests.

The newsletter this month is fairly brief; not a lot of news, just checking in to say that we are hard at work and hope to have more for you soon.

WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 8

Newsletter • March / April 2016

This month:

Transclude article requests anywhere on Wikipedia

In the last issue of the WikiProject X Newsletter, I discussed the upcoming Wikipedia Requests system: a central database for outstanding work on Wikipedia. I am pleased to announce Wikipedia Requests is live! Its purpose is to supplement automatically generated lists, such as those from SuggestBot, Reports bot, or Wikidata. It is currently being demonstrated on WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health (which I work on as part of my NIOSH duties) and WikiProject Women scientists.

Adding a request is as simple as filling out a form. Just go to the Add form to add your request. Adding sources will help ensure that your request is fulfilled more quickly. And when a request is fulfilled, simply click "mark as complete" and it will be removed from all the lists it's on. All at the click of a button! (If anyone is concerned, all actions are logged.)

With this new service is a template to transclude these requests: {{Wikipedia Requests}}. It's simple to use: add the template to a page, specifying article=, category=, or wikiproject=, and the list will be transcluded. For example, for requests having to do with all living people, just do {{Wikipedia Requests|category=Living people}}. Use these lists on WikiProjects but also for edit-a-thons where you want a convenient list of things to do on hand. Give it a shot!

Help us build our list!

The value of Wikipedia Requests comes from being a centralized database. The long work to migrating individual lists into this combined list is slowly underway. As of writing, we have 883 open tasks logged in Wikipedia Requests. We need your help building this list.

If you know of a list of missing articles, or of outstanding tasks for existing articles, that you would like to migrate to this new system, head on over to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Requests#Transition project and help out. Doing this will help put your list in front of more eyes—more than just your own WikiProject.

An open database means new tools

WikiProject X maintains a database that associates article talk pages (and draft talk pages) with WikiProjects. This database powers many of the reports that Reports bot generates. However, until very recently, this database was not made available to others who might find its data useful. It's only common sense to open up the database and let others build tools with it.

And indeed: Citation Hunt, the game to add citations to Wikipedia, now lets you filter by WikiProject, using the data from our database.

Are you a tool developer interested in using this? Here are some details: the database resides on Tool Labs with the name s52475__wpx_p. The table that associates WikiProjects with articles and drafts is called projectindex. Pages are stored by talk page title but in the future this should change. Have fun!

On the horizon

• The work on the CollaborationKit extension continues. The extension will initially focus on reducing template and Lua bloat on WikiProjects (especially our WPX UI demonstration projects), and will from there create custom interfaces for creating and maintaining WikiProjects.
• The WikiCite meeting will be in Berlin in May. The goal of the meeting is to figure out how to build a bibliographic database for use on the Wikimedia projects. This fits in quite nicely with WikiProject X's work: we want to make it easier for people to find things to work on, and with a powerful, open bibliographic database, we can build recommendations for sources. This feature was requested by the Wikipedia Library back in September, and this meeting is a major next step. We look forward to seeing what comes out of this meeting.

Proposed deletion of List of most viewed Indian music videos

The article List of most viewed Indian music videos has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Topic of debatable notability. Sourcing is only (and possibly only can be) to the videos themselves on YouTube, which is usually not a good idea.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Wikipedia Asian Month 2017: Invitation to Participate

Hello! Last year, you signed up to participate in Wikipedia Asian Month (WAM) 2016 on the English Wikipedia. The event was an international success, with hundreds of editors creating thousands of articles on Asian topics across dozens of different language versions of Wikipedia.

I'd like to invite you to join us for Wikipedia Asian Month 2017, which once again lasts through the month of November. The goal is for users to create new articles on Asian-related content, each at least 3,000 bytes and 300 words in length. Editors who create at least four articles will receive a Wikipedia Asian Month postcard!

Also be sure to check out the Wikipedia Asian Art Month affiliate event - creating articles on Asian art topics can get you a Metropolitan Museum of Art postcard!

If you're interested, please sign up here for the English Wikipedia. If you are interested in also working on other language editions of Wikipedia, please visit the meta page to see other participating projects. If you have any questions, please visit our talk page.

Thank you!

- User:SuperHamster and User:Titodutta on behalf of The English Wikipedia WAM Team

This will be the last message you receive from the English Wikipedia WAM team for being a 2016 participant. If you sign up for WAM 2017, you will continue receiving periodic updates on the 2017 event.

Etymology of sitar/setar

Hi Aryaman, I hope you don't mind me talking here to curb mass editing on Wiktionary which means I may not edit very often for some time. So, with the word sitar, the etymology over there says it's from Persian. However, another word setar exists which more represents the Persian terms. Isn't sitar sound more like it's from Hindustani and then Persian, and if yes, can you fix it there? — ^{they call me} AWESOMEmeeos ... [ˈɔɪ̯]! 23:49, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

@Awesomemeeos: Yes, sitar is indeed from Hindi-Urdu, but the word in Hindi-Urdu is further borrowed from Persian. The pronunciation in Hindi-Urdu reflects the pronunciation in early Dari (or, depending on the time frame, even Classical Persian) because most Persian-speaking invaders entered the Indian river basins by way of mountain passes in through Afghanistan, historically. Iranian Persian, which is used in our transliteration of Persian, has diverged greatly from Classical Persian and modern Dari. Aryaman^{A (talk, contribs)} 00:38, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Nice further notes there. Thanks for that! — ^{they call me} AWESOMEmeeos ... [ˈɔɪ̯]! 06:00, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 13

Newsletter • December 2018

This month: A general update.

The current status of the project is as follows:

• Progress of the project has been generally delayed since September due to development issues (more bitrot than expected, some of the code just being genuinely confusing, etc) and personal injury (I suffered a concussion in October and was out of commission for almost two months as a result).
• I currently expect to be putting out a proper call for CollaborationKit pilots in January/February, with estimated deployment in February/March if things don't go horribly wrong (they will, though, don't worry). As a part of that, I will properly update the page and send out announcement and reach out to all projects already signed up as pilots for WikiProject X in general, at which point those (still) interested can volunteer specifically to test the CollaborationKit extension.
  • Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Pilots was originally created for the first WikiProject X prototype, and given this is where the project has since gone, it's only logical to continue to use it. While I haven't yet updated the page to properly reflect this:
  • If you want to add your project to this page now, feel free. Just bear in mind that more information what to actually expect will be added later/included in the announcement, because by then I will have a much better idea myself.
• Until then, you can find me in my corner working on making the CollaborationKit code do what we want and not just what we told it, per the workboard.

Until next time,

WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 14

Newsletter • June 2019

Updates: I've been focusing largely on the development side of things, so we are a lot closer now to being ready to actually start discussing deploying it and testing it out here.

There's just a few things left that need to be resolved:

• A bunch of language support issues in particular, plus some other release blockers, such as the fact that currently there's no good way to find any hubs people do create.
• We also probably need some proper documentation and examples up to even reference if we want a meaningful discussion. We have the extension documentation and some test projects, but we probably need a bit more. Also I need to be able to even find the test projects! How can I possibly write reports about this stuff if I can't find any of it?!

Some other stuff that's happened in the meantime:

• Midpoint report is out for this round of the project, if you want to read in too much detail about all the problems I've been running into.
• WikiProject Molecular Biology have successfully set up using the old module system that CollaborationKit is intended to replace (eventually), and it even seems to work, so go them. Based on the issues they ran into, it looks like the members signup thing on that system has some of the same problems as we've been unable to resolve in CK, though, which is... interesting. (Need to change the content model to the right thing for the formwizard config to take. Ugh, content models.)

Until next time,

India district boundaries

Hi! I came across File:Hindi languages 2011 Indian Census by district.svg. That's a nice-looking map! Where did you get the data though? I've been trying to find shapefiles for the districts and tehsils as they were at the time of the census, and haven't been able to get my hands on anything that comes close enough. – Uanfala (talk) 10:50, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

@Uanfala: Here is the file: [1]. I found it on ResearchGate, of all places, in a comments section for a paper. It even has mappings to 2011 census codes! I generated the map using d3.js and this interactive map I coded: [2]. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find anything at the tehsil level, this is only district. I'm on the lookout for that though, let me know if you have any finds too. Aryaman^{A (talk, contribs)} 22:25, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Ooo, this interactive map is a real treasure! Too bad about the tehsils though: last year I asked at the Resourced Exchange, but was only able to obtain shapefiles for the previous census of 2001: unfortunately, I haven't got the language data for it, and matching it up with the 2011 census won't work because the boundaries haven't everywhere stayed the same. So yeah, I'm still looking for either the 2011 tehsil boundaries, or the 2001 language data. – Uanfala (talk) 23:05, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Pasoori

Hi, and thank you for your edits to Ali Sethi and Pasoori. :) If you have the time, could you please take a look at the Talk page for Pasoori and chime in with your opinion on the discussion going on about translations and transliterations for the word "Pasoori"? There was some edit warring going on by a combative editor who keeps reverting edits because he only wants the opening sentence to have only ONE transliteration in Shahmukhi and only ONE translation ("troubles"). Other transliterations were added in Gurmukhi and Hindi (languages relevant to the song), and other translations were added (angst/conflict) that were REFERENCED via multiple articles, but he keeps reverting those edits. I have left messages on his talk page that you can check out (just look at the Edit History for the page to locate him; I don't wanna mention him here). But if you could chime in with your opinion -- keep just Shahmukhi and ONE translation vs. add more translations and additional transliterations that'd be great. Another editor was in favor of adding more but this person is just not having it, apparently, and does not seem open to the idea of consensus. In addition, I don't think he got the IPA pronunciation right in the term infobox, but I could be wrong. Could you take a look, please? Thanks for reading, and I look forward to your opinion. :) Priyanka2330 (talk) 02:04, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Waigali is not Dardic

On neojambu.glitch.me, Waigali is listed as Dardic. In fact, it is a Nuristani language. Can you fix it? Thanks. Kwékwlos (talk) 06:36, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Also, Ishkashmi is Iranian, not Dardic. Kwékwlos (talk) 11:45, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Rai Dynasty

See footnote d; Todd's attempt to corroborate the numismatic evidence with Chachnama is very stretched. TrangaBellam (talk) 07:51, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

Thanks! I was wondering the same since the names hardly correspond. I guess the Chachnama can't be taken as a historical source. Aryaman^{A (talk, contribs)} 03:34, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
