NPOVN discussion for Aaj Tak
editSee WP:NPOVN#Aaj Tak, please participate if interested. Thanks. Hemiauchenia (talk) 15:28, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
This is a historical article and it is heavily edited in last few days with unreliable sources like low quality newspaper articles and local publication books even sources are cited fraudulently to write something which is not present in the source itself. Specially, the Rajput and Mughal section is full of crap. Lack of attention by even established editors in reverting such poor addition has been degrading the quality of articles on English Wikipedia and it seems that like several websites floating on internet, Wikipedia is also backing pseudo-historic claims.

Buffen meat hoax?
editOn Buffalo meat it says "it is known as [...] buffen in India" and then uses "buffen" throughout the article.
But I couldn't find any independent sources confirming this. Is it true or a hoax? Commander Keane (talk) 06:31, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- I ended up removing all mention of "buffen" to stay on the safe side. Commander Keane (talk) 07:31, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Shiledar
editHi, I'm hoping someone here will be able to add some refs to Shiledar - I see mentions in a few sources but I can't really access them. I suspect others might have access to better stuff. Thanks and good luck. JMWt (talk) 07:23, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
Ram Mohan Roy
editRam Mohan Roy has been moved to Raja Ram Mohan Roy; doesn't that violate WP:HONORIFICS? Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 19:00, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Joshua Jonathan I agree. It should be moved back to Ram Mohan Roy. Asteramellus (talk) 12:38, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- I disagree because there is also a Raja Aziz Bhatti. You can start a new page move request after some months if you want the page move to be reversed. Ratnahastin (talk) 13:14, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Ratnahastin Is there a reason to wait for some months to start a new page move? Is there a process where we can request revert for the page move? And sorry, I am not able to find the original request for this - can you add the original request link here. Thanks. Asteramellus (talk) 13:18, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- In general, one should wait for at least 6 months before starting a new page move request like it has always happened at Talk:Bangalore.
- If you want to dispute this days old page move then do read WP:MR. Ratnahastin (talk) 13:36, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Need for a community response to WMF on revealing an Indian editor's identity
editDiscussions on Wikipedia:Village pump (WMF) have revealed that in connection with Asian News International, WMF intends to reveal the identity of an Indian editor to a Dehli Court on 8 November. There seems to be support for a community response to dissuade WNF from taking such action but I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the procedures involved. It has been suggested a letter should be drafted to WMF expressing our concerns. I could draft such a letter but need advice on how to proceed further.--Ipigott (talk) 17:56, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Ipigott:, soon, I expect today, there will be coverage in The Signpost at WP:SIGNPOST. I was the lead organizer for this story and can be a point of contact for questions with regard to Signpost reporting.
- If you want to publish your letter in the next issue of Signpost in about two weeks, then The Signpost would accept. There are also other publishing options to share individual opinion articles or other presentations of facts. I cannot help with everything, but I can support with journalism if that helps. Bluerasberry (talk) 18:45, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for responding, Bluerasberry, but we need to respond to WMF today or tomorrow. Perhaps you can help?--Ipigott (talk) 18:51, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Ipigott: Perhaps I can help. What can I do? We already have a lot of news coverage for this story. You can preview it here - Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Next_issue. There are four articles. If you come up with a letter, then can make it prominent in the comments. I am open to discussing other kinds of help. We cannot publish another issue of The Signpost tomorrow, after publishing one today. We publish about every two weeks.
- I am sure I can come up with ways to help circulate a letter and help formatting it if you have one. Are you thinking of a petition, a list of questions, or what? Bluerasberry (talk) 18:56, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, Bluerasberry, for offering support. You will no doubt be interested to see that discussions on preparing an open letter to WMF are progressing on the Village pump (WMF) page.--Ipigott (talk) 09:08, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for responding, Bluerasberry, but we need to respond to WMF today or tomorrow. Perhaps you can help?--Ipigott (talk) 18:51, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- For the record, there is an active discussion about a potential open letter to the WMF about this issue. QuicoleJR (talk) 17:45, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
Open letter now published for support
editAn open letter has been published and is taking signatures.--Ipigott (talk) 15:59, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
