Seeking opinion

Hi Utcursch. Would you mind reviewing the recent changes by an IP user (1.38.104.185) in pages such as Tamils, Early Cholas, Education in ancient Tamil country, Chola dynasty, etc. I'm just wondering, for example, if pushing the early dates of the Sangam Era to 3020 BCE is reliable. I initially tried reverting some of these, but am disinclined to edit war on this further without getting an expert opinion. Thanks. ~~~~ Rasnaboy (talk) 09:38, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Birthplace of Prince Vijaya

Wikipedia :-Kalinga(Historical region) article, "Influence" part. It is written, Kalinga is the birthplace of Prince Vijaya according to The Mahavasma. But according to The Mahavasma, Kalinga is not the birthplace of Prince Vijaya. Page no 196 is cited as the source of this information but sorry to say source does not support it. Sir, you can check it. In this article a wrong information is given, so Sir I request you to please correct the page. Kjhll (talk) 08:14, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sarayu River (Ayodhya)

You created a page called Sarayu River (Ayodhya). I assume that this refers to a river near Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh. But you coded the page you created to be a redirect to an article about a town called Ghaghra, which is in the state of Jharkhand. I have blanked the page.

Possible ways forward:

You could write an article about the River Sarayu.
You could find a suitable page for the page you created to redirect to. If you do, please check that it is the one you intended.
You could request that the page you created should be speedily deleted.

Is mentioning in which varna a king was born not allowed by Wikipedia's policy?

In this one edit of yours[2], and what is castecruft, can't find any definition or use of that word. RamaKrishnaHare (talk) 21:24, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's a combination of "caste" and "cruft", used to refer to unsourced additions by people aiming to glorify their caste. If you look at the history of the article Lalitaditya Muktapida, you'd notice that several people have claimed that Lalitaditya belonged to a particular caste such as the Kayasthas or the Brahmins. Adding such a claim to article would be acceptable, if it was reliably sourced.

Merging Haihaiyavanshi Kingdom with Kalachuris of Ratnapura

Is it alright if I merge both the above mentioned articles, now that our differences have been cleared? I will try my best not to use any British gazetteers and unpublished articles as sources. If you don't remember our discussion, see Talk:Haihaiyavanshi Kingdom#Merger for context. Pls I dank memer (talk) 14:29, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Pls I dank memer: Sure, go ahead. I did have a cursory look at some sources -- from what I understood, there is no inscriptional evidence for political history of Ratnapura (Ratanpur) dynasty after Pratapamalla. In 15th century, we have evidence of a branch ruling at Raipur, as attested by some inscriptions (e.g. the Raipur stone inscription of Brahmadeva). During Mughal period, there is evidence of Haihaya families (often called "sub-kingdoms") at Ratanpur and Raipur. Their own records apparently trace their ancestry to the earlier rulers of Ratanpur, but their genealogies (which largely include rulers with "Singh" and "Sahai" in their names) doesn't tally with earlier epigraphic records. For example, the later Ratanpur family traces its descent to "Bhanusingh" and the later Raipur family traces its descent to "Kesavadeva" (not any Brahmadeva). Gazetteers rely on the records of ruling families, often without any critical analysis (which is one of the reasons why they are unreliable): so far, I haven't found any source that uses modern historical method to comment on these genealogies, but I'll keep looking. utcursch | talk 17:15, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's the fault I caught too. Different gazetteers mention different genealogies. It was very difficult to construct a list of rulers that matched with all sources. But I'm going to add the matter about some topics like- Kalyan Sahai of Ratanpur because that matches in every record and even some modern works have made passing mentions of him ; the name "Mahakosala" etc.. Thank you. Pls I dank memer (talk) 17:51, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Probably a good idea to create a separate section about the 'later' Ratanpur branch. utcursch | talk 17:54, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nagabhata 1: 19 july 2023

Hi, I am writing to provide some additional true and verified information on the topic of Naghabhata 1 which has been trending recently. After conducting thorough research, I came across an interesting discovery related to our previous edit on 19th July 2023. As you may recall, I made an edit on Naghabhata 1, and the topic has gained significant attention in recent days. I took the initiative to delve deeper into the subject and stumbled upon an intriguing aspect related to Naghabhata's ancestry, which has been documented in a "vanshawali" (genealogy) and officially registered in an Indian court. The "vanshawali" is a valuable historical record that traces Naghabhata's lineage through generations, shedding light on his ancestry and providing further insights into his legacy. Its official registration in an Indian court adds an additional layer of authenticity to this historical account. With our intention to always provide accurate and reliable information to our users, I believe that incorporating this newfound information will enhance the credibility and comprehensiveness of the topic. I kindly request your review of this additional information to ensure its accuracy and relevance. Should you have any suggestions or input on how we can integrate this information seamlessly into our existing content, I would be eager to hear your thoughts. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Your guidance and expertise are invaluable to me, and I am excited to contribute meaningfully to our platform's content.

Rajaraja I

Hi Utcursch, I noticed that recently you reverted an edit made by me in Rajaraja I's infobox saying "unsourced". The article stated "He was born around 947 CE in the Aipassi month, on the day of Sadhayam star." This roughly translates to 22 October - 20 November 947 in the Gregorian Calendar. I am seeking clarification. Prakashs27 (talk) 21:56, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Prakashs27: "This roughly translates to..." requires a reliable source. See WP:NOR. utcursch | talk 23:34, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, thanks for letting me know. Prakashs27 (talk) 00:16, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disruptive edits by anonymous IP on Zamorin page

The Zamorin page was recently given protection after I asked for it. This is because an anonymous IP kept vandalizing it, and after a Talk Page discussion, it reached agreement. But now the same anonymous user has returned with another anonymous IP and reverted the whole thing, including dozens of edits by other editors, to his own version, the version before the discussions.

He also managed to place a final vandalized edit on the Zamorin page before it was protected, by removing sourced content.

Could you revert the Zamorin page to any of the previous edits by any of the previous editors, before it was vandalized? HölderlinRem1 (talk) 05:47, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have responsibly edited the lead section to remove unsourced caste promotion and redundant content.

Talk section is also added for constructive discussion where he is not engaging with references and sources, rather accusing other users who oppose his caste promotions.

It is important to note that his blatant accusations against me have been previously reviewed and dismissed by moderators. I urge you to refrain from repeating these unfounded claims and focus on constructive dialogue to enhance the article’s quality. 2600:4040:4527:3B00:BD5D:7C85:3ABA:7D42 (talk) 08:23, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1. Unsourced? There were two sources attached to the paragraph, both of which said that the Zamorin was originally the "Samantha Eradi chiefs of Eranad." You also agreed to this in the December 2023 Talk Page discussion, your own quote from above:

"...the Samanthan Nair Eradis of Nediyiruppu (originally autonomous chiefs of Eranadu) demonstrated their political independence under the title of Zamorin."

2. Dismissed by other moderators? The only one who was dismissed was you who had your vandalization reverted by editor Outlander07 on the Samantan page, who also said that you were a Adithya Kiran sock puppet.

The lead is agreed by editors in common. You wanted to mention the "last king committed suicide and burnt himself in the palace" stuff, which doesn't belong in the lead as the fate of a single king is not a summary of the article by any means. But okay, I agreed with you to keep it there.

I'm asking for the origins of the Zamorin to be mentioned in the lead, as it is directly connected with his dynasty, in a single sentence, with 2 sources attached. And you keep deleting it, and the edits made by other editors over months to your preferred version? HölderlinRem1 (talk) 09:21, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have tagged some admins for their view on the page. The anonymous IP keep deleting the origins of the Zamorin, and replacing it with the same "final king committed suicide and burnt himself" line. The fate of one king is not a summary of the article at all, and should not be in the lead. The origins of the dynasty are far more important, and he keep deleting it.

This entire discussion, which has been going on for 2 months, is only because of that 1 sentence: the Zamorin was originally the Samantha Eradi chief of Eranad, before becoming the Zamorin.

Both sources state this, and the anonymous IP himself accepted this, which is how we got to an agreed lead in December 2023.

Now he's back with another anonymous IP, and reverting it back to what it was before the December 2023 discussions. Is that how it's done?

I asked for page protection for this very reason, and it was granted by admin. But the anonymous IP sneaked in a final revert before the protection was applied. HölderlinRem1 (talk) 09:34, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The requested line has been re-added with sources, so the lead is now complete. Thank you, we can finally close this discussion. HölderlinRem1 (talk) 10:11, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

About specification in sayhadrikhand

Dear @Utcursch, I appreciate you work.Nice to see Atleast one person read the source completely.

According to Ghurye, five hundred years ago Saraswats were mainly confined to the area around Goa.In the last three hundred years, they migrated south towards Mangalore and north towards Rajapur in present day Ratnagiri district, Alibag and further north.He identifies seven sub-castes among the Saraswats, namely Bardeshkar, Bhalawalikar, Kudaldeshkar, Lotlikar,Pednekar, Sashtikar and Shenvi-paiki

Since saraswat of konkan have these variants mentioning only Shenvi instead of saraswat will create ambiguity.1630 incident was only related to shenvi so using shenvi become valid there. 117.193.108.193 (talk) 17:22, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Utcursch,

So we can add saraswat Brahmins for core explanation and shenvi for 1630 incidence. 117.193.108.193 (talk) 17:25, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Utcursch,

Even I saw the usage of this resource in panch gauda and panch Dravida.So Everything was perfectly written but shenvi and saraswat ambiguity retained.I have referred many resource regarding this some western author have mentioned them as synonym but they aren’t.Shenvi is a small part of Gaud Saraswat/saraswat so let’s not specify them in sayhadrikhand.We can specify them in their intercaste fight with 1630 issue,1631 issue ,Chitpavan-shenvi scenario(Gramanya).Hope this explanation helps. 117.193.108.193 (talk) 17:56, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to add anything supported by a reliable source. As per WP:V and WP:SYN, we should stick to what a reliable source states, not our interpretation of primary sources. utcursch | talk 23:22, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear @UtcurschOne more book for you,

Letters Home: Banaras pandits and the Maratha regions in early modern India,Author(s): ROSALIND O'HANLON,Source: Modern Asian Studies,MARCH 2010, Vol. 44, No. 2,(MARCH 2010), pp. 201-240,Published by: Cambridge University Press,Stable URL:https://www.jstor.org/stable/27764655

This explains about the dharmasabha of Varanasi.She gave the account of the South Indian community that were there in Varanasi.

Deep analysis of Deshpande(2008)‘s view has been done.The issue was wether the shenvi were trikarma or satkarma Brahmins.The dharmasabha clearly have verdict of them as satkarma Brahmins.

I have kept all the materials in the talk page but no one is there to reply.The editing option has been disabled.You are administrator hope you can edit it.

Someone has incorrectly mentioned contents there like Varna dispute(Which doesn’t exist),Rejecting brahmin claim(verdict is there),sabydrikhand was fake(Historical proofs are there) etc.I gave them the resource about sayhadrikhand that I posted here but there is no reply.I gave them verdict analysis for this very high end source still no one is replying!. 2409:40F2:102A:654C:540C:A517:5FAF:9E39 (talk) 09:23, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Utcursch Gaud Saraswat Brahminthis is the page.Visit the talk page once you will find my contents.Read the content of article it is so negative cherry picked,I would have developed it but I don’t know why I am unable to edit it. 2409:40F2:102A:654C:540C:A517:5FAF:9E39 (talk) 09:26, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are you talking about changes to the article Gaud Saraswat Brahmin? It's not really on my todo-list, and I don't have time to go through all the sources and discussion history. Consider dropping a note on WT:INDIA and WT:HINDU instead. utcursch | talk 14:11, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, your edits on Sahyadrikhanda do not adhere to WP:V and WP:SYN. Rosalind O'Hanlon uses the term "Shenvi", and that's what the article should use. If you are changing that, please cite another WP:RS-compliant source. utcursch | talk 14:25, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@UtcurschThank you for the link.

comming back to the actual sayhadrikhand there author herself have given clarification.

The purana then relates different Brahman histories. Its heroes are the Senvis, given in the list above their more dignified title of Saraswat

-Page-104

Even she has used the word saraswat while narrating the story.

Siva then describes the origins of the Saraswats' rivals, the Chitpavans. They also owe their place in the lands of the Konkan to Parashuram

-page-105

So practically using shenvi can be useful in clash with Dravid Brahmins but core story should be applicable for all.Even the author Rosalind has used that in the story.Primary source clearly mentions saraswat so better to use saraswat Atleast for the origin story.When coming to issue let it be shenvi.what’s your take on this? 2409:40F2:2A:DB34:C553:374B:3A74:28C3 (talk) 18:02, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article already states "Shenvis (identified as Sarasvatas)", following the cited source. utcursch | talk 14:49, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi protection

can you add semi protection to kalachuri dynasty . There seems to be constant addition of same obsolete theory ,to push their caste POV , without any consideration of current sources and consensus among scholars.References are vague , with the meaning behind the era used already explained in the section , and the second one being citing the gazetter as source. The newly added sources are googling the word "abhira kalachuris" and adding whatever comes Additionally those problems has been considered already in origin section .

Notability, POV and writing style of some newly created articles

Hi, I've come across these two articles (while checking this) - Gupta conquests of Bengal and Extermination of Nagadhatta - created by a new user [16]. I'm concerned about the notability, writing style and possible POV in the articles. For example sentences like - "initial conquest of Bengal by the Indian Emperor Samudragupta who exterminated and defeated its Kings" and "Indian Emperor Samudragupta was against Nagadhatta" seem POV considering the usage of the term 'Indian' restricted for Samudragupta and the Gupta Empire only, while technically modern India didn't exist then, but the whole subcontinent including Bengal was called 'India', it is also corroborated by the fact that they added this category (which itself is POV) in both articles. Apart from the above, the notability of the subject matter can be questioned along with the writing style is quite amateurish and POV along with the this article name. Similar issues seem to exist in other edits by the user. Please have a look. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:48, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Will add to my watchlist, and check when I get some time. I don't think Gupta conquests of Bengal should even exist, since "Bengal" was not a single political unit. utcursch | talk 14:18, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@A081950: See WP:FORUM / WP:NOR.

@A081950: I'm guessing you are referring to this edit of yours: the cited article does not state "Surya Siddhanta was composed in the time frame 7300-7800 BC" - it states that the author obtained a match for the nakshatra latitudinal data in the period 7300-7800 BCE based on a computer simulation, which is what the article now states. utcursch | talk 22:25, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear @Utcursch, It is verbal jugglery. It is the reason for not representing against the deletion of the edit under discussion. I quote three additional sentences from Anil Narayanan's paper. 1. In this article we will focus on the Surya Siddhanta and attempt to establish a rough epoch for it from the star data found therein. 2. after examining the latitudinal data, we conclude that updates of star latitudes have not been done at least for several thousand years. 3. It can help us determine the epoch of the text or, at a minimum, the era of the last update to the latitudes. Combined with your text, what you conclude finally is your outlook. I can not explain someone else's English. A081950 (talk) 01:59, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How and when is an article for deletion discussion closed?

Dear Sir, I wanted to inquire when an article for deletion discussion closes. It has been 10 days since the discussion began in here "Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pala Tibetan War". I would appreciate your guidance on the matter.

Additionally, I would like to bring your attention to the editor who nominated this article for deletion.

He claimed that the article is solely focused on Palas conquering Nepal, and he stated that no source indicated that Nepal was part of the Tibetan Empire, yet all sources on the matter indicate that Nepal was indeed under the control of the Tibetans.

He has mainly concentrated his efforts on Nepal and suggested that the article is solely focused on conquering Nepal, though it also outlines their clashes in the Himalayas, Kedara, Gokarna, and Northern Bengal, and thus warrants the title "Pala Tibetan Wars" or "Pala Tibetan Conflicts."

He also alleged that the article is guilty of violating Wikipedia's policy on synthesized content, though it doesn't adhere to that standard. It seems clear to me that he is either unaware of what WP:SYNTH really entails or is simply using it as an excuse to eliminate the article.

I would truly be appreciative of your help in the discussion. Thanks Based Kashmiri (talk) 11:10, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it has been relisted for more discussion. Sorry, I'm a little busy outside of Wikipedia right now: WT:IND would be a better place to attract more attention to that discussion. utcursch | talk 14:49, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Sir, I am grateful for your response. Unfortunately, I do not think I can save the article now because one of the editors has requested that I provide a source for information related to the "Pala-Tibetan wars/conflicts." I have provided multiple sources, including references mentioning their conflicts as "Dharmapāla's Conflict with Tibetans" and "Devapala's Conflict with Tibetans," as well as suggested the title be changed to "Pala Conflict with Tibetans." However, it seems that it wasn't enough. Based Kashmiri (talk) 15:18, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship review has concluded.

Proposals passed on a trial basis will be discussed in Phase II, after their trials conclude. Further details on specific proposals can be found in the full report.

Talk

Hi @Utcursch, You recently added failed verification tags on maps created by me for the Kingdom of Mewar Page saying that only text is available, for your information we can create maps on textual information too. Talking about other sources that contradict on what I have created you can see below, the historians like Rima Hooja and D.R Mankekar,talking about the extent of the Kingdom of Mewar in the 15th Century

A History and Culture of Rajasthan, Page no 452"As a consequence of Sanga’s exploits, the borders of Mewar by this period extended from near Mandu (the capital of Malwa), in the south to Peela Khal (Pilya Khal), a small rivulet near Bayana and Agra, in the north-east, and deep into the desert country (stretching towards the river Indus) west and north-west of Mewar. In addition, numerous fellow princes had accepted the pre-eminence or token leadership of Sanga. The princes of Marwar and Amber did him homage, and the Raos of Gwalior, Ajmer, Sikri, Raesen [sic], Kalpee [sic], Chanderi, Boondi [sic], Gagrown [sic], Rampoora, and Aboo [sic], served him as tributaries or held of him in chief"

Mewar Saga by D.R Mankekar, Page no 39 "These exploits in the field of battle established Sanga as the most outstanding personality in northern India and raised him to the status of the overlord of the whole of Rajasthan. The princes of Marwar and Amber accepted Sanga as their leader and the Raos of Gwalior, Ajmer, Sikri, Kalpi, Chanderi, Bundi, Gagron, Rampura, and Abu served him as feudatories"

+== Notability, POV and writing style of some newly created articles ==
+Hi, I've come across these two articles (while checking [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gupta_Empire&diff=1207206931&oldid=1206901314 this]) - [[Gupta conquests of Bengal]] and [[Extermination of Nagadhatta]] - created by a new user [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Jonharojjashi&target=Jonharojjashi&dir=prev&offset=20230911122543]. I'm concerned about the notability, writing style and possible POV in the articles. For example sentences like - "initial conquest of Bengal by the Indian Emperor Samudragupta who exterminated and defeated its Kings" and "Indian Emperor Samudragupta was against Nagadhatta" seem POV considering the usage of the term 'Indian' restricted for Samudragupta and the Gupta Empire only, while technically modern India didn't exist then, but the whole subcontinent including Bengal was called 'India', it is also corroborated by the fact that they added [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Invasions_by_India this category (which itself is POV)] in both articles. Apart from the above, the notability of the subject matter can be questioned along with the writing style is quite amateurish and POV along with the [[Extermination of Nagadhatta|this article name]]. Similar issues seem to exist in other edits by the user. Please have a look. - [[User:Fylindfotberserk|Fylindfotberserk]] ([[User talk:Fylindfotberserk|talk]]) 12:48, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
+: Will add to my watchlist, and check when I get some time. I don't think [[Gupta conquests of Bengal]] should even exist, since "Bengal" was not a single political unit. [[User:Utcursch|utcursch]] &#124; [[User talk:Utcursch|talk]] 14:18, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

+Dear Sir, I wanted to inquire when an article for deletion discussion closes. It has been 10 days since the discussion began in here "[[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pala Tibetan War]]". I would appreciate your guidance on the matter.
+Additionally, I would like to bring your attention to the editor who nominated this article for deletion.
+* He claimed that the article is solely focused on Palas conquering Nepal, and he stated that no source indicated that Nepal was part of the Tibetan Empire, yet all sources on the matter indicate that Nepal was indeed under the control of the Tibetans.
+* He has mainly concentrated his efforts on Nepal and suggested that the article is solely focused on conquering Nepal, though it also outlines their clashes in the Himalayas, Kedara, Gokarna, and Northern Bengal, and thus warrants the title "Pala Tibetan Wars" or "Pala Tibetan Conflicts."
+* He also alleged that the article is guilty of violating Wikipedia's policy on synthesized content, though it doesn't adhere to that standard. It seems clear to me that he is either unaware of what WP:SYNTH really entails or is simply using it as an excuse to eliminate the article.
+I would truly be appreciative of your help in the discussion. Thanks [[User:Based Kashmiri|Based Kashmiri]] ([[User talk:Based Kashmiri|talk]]) 11:10, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

+Hi @[[User:Utcursch|Utcursch]], You recently added failed verification tags on maps created by me for the Kingdom of Mewar Page saying that only text is available, for your information we can create maps on textual information too. Talking about other sources that contradict on what I have created you can see below, the historians like Rima Hooja and D.R Mankekar,talking about the extent of the Kingdom of Mewar in the 15th Century
+A History and Culture of Rajasthan, Page no 452"As a consequence of Sanga’s exploits, the borders of Mewar by this period extended from near Mandu (the capital of Malwa), in the south to Peela Khal (Pilya Khal), a small rivulet near Bayana and Agra, in the north-east, and deep into the desert country (stretching towards the river Indus) west and north-west of Mewar. In addition, numerous fellow princes had accepted the pre-eminence or token leadership of Sanga. The princes of Marwar and Amber did him homage, and the Raos of Gwalior, Ajmer, Sikri, Raesen [sic], Kalpee [sic], Chanderi, Boondi [sic], Gagrown [sic], Rampoora, and Aboo [sic], served him as tributaries or held of him in chief"
+Mewar Saga by D.R Mankekar, Page no 39 "These exploits in the field of battle established Sanga as the most outstanding personality in northern India and raised him to the status of the overlord of the whole of Rajasthan. The princes of Marwar and Amber accepted Sanga as their leader and the Raos of Gwalior, Ajmer, Sikri, Kalpi, Chanderi, Bundi, Gagron, Rampura, and Abu served him as feudatories"
