Hi I was checking Awantipora tehsil in Pulwama district and found it have a single source and most of the content are copied from this website and it have 64.8% copied text from it and is possible copyright violation. Check here on Copyvios tool. Thank You. — The Chunky urf Al Kashmiri ^{(Speak🗣️ or Write✍️)} 06:39, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I will edit that article later today.-- Toddy1 (talk) 06:42, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article is on the town. So any data on the subdistrict (tehsil) either needs to be in a separate section of the article, or in a separate article.-- Toddy1 (talk) 11:18, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It was a struggle to make sense of land area data for Pulwama district.-- Toddy1 (talk) 11:18, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have not forgotten. It is going to take time.-- Toddy1 (talk) 19:22, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have done a rewrite, using sources I could find.-- Toddy1 (talk) 12:46, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have also created two redirects Awantipora tehsil and Awantipora Tehsil.-- Toddy1 (talk) 12:46, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, hope you are good, I have created Draft:Sharjeel Imam who is an Anti-CAA law protester and arrested on January 28. Kindly look into it. Should I move it main space or not. — The Chunky urf Al Kashmiri ^{(Speak🗣️ or Write✍️)}

Each of the cases mentioned in Draft:Sharjeel Imam#Cases filed by different states needs at least one citation.-- Toddy1 (talk) 06:15, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Though the correct meaning of the following sentence is obvious, strictly speaking there is an error:

• He was charged with sedition case by five states of India[4] and arrested on 28 January 2020 by Delhi Police alleging that his speech promoted enmity among people that led riots in Jamia Millia Islamia University.

The word "alleging" is a gerund. As written it means that when he (Imam) was arrested, Imam was alleging.... Of course you don't mean that. You mean that Dehli Police were alleging.

I will fix it for you.-- Toddy1 (talk) 06:20, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Pithoragarh district, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rai language.

(Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 06:26, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Toddy1, I see you adding language speakers tables to several pages. While the data is valuable, I think it needs to be condensed more. Otherwise it would seem like an instance of WP:INDISCRIMINATE. You might try making a pi3 chart, if you can figure out how, or, if it is a table, cut out rows less than a certain percentage. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 15:50, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That is exactly what I did. If we take for example Uttarakhand.

• The census table in the original has 315 rows, all of which have non-zero number of people.
• There are 100 rows of a language classification which groups by language family.
• There are 216 rows of an individual language classification (this includes 38 rows of language family "others").
• The row with language code 124000 (meaning others) is common to both categorisations.

At Uttarakhand#Demographics this is condensed to 17 rows (including others) plus a total row. The trimming mechanism I used was to include under "others" all individual languages in the original that had less people than would be rounded to 0.1% (i.e. 0.05%).

A key point though, is that there are a huge range of people of different mother tongues (1st languages).

You will notice that the table are collapsable - so they could all be set to default as collapsed.-- Toddy1 (talk) 17:21, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A problem with the pie charts when the source for the data consist of Indian Census Excel tables is that it is often quite hard to verify them (particularly as pie charts are frequently vandalised by people who insert their own made up numbers). If you quote absolute numbers of people (which is what the source does) and specify what is meant, then calculating a percentage is basic arithmetic, which is allowed (see WP:CALC).-- Toddy1 (talk) 17:42, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I understand. A pie chart along with a collapsible table would seem to be the ideal solution. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 17:58, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for adding new sources. I’ve been trying that for months. Some people are not happy to see this so expect reverts. This page played a crucial role in Indian propaganda and they even made a movie about it. Just by reading the info written on this page. YuukiHirohiko (talk) 01:21, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I do not expect reverts. I made two very small changes:

• Made the Chinese ORRBAT in the infobox clear.
  • I did this after explaining on the talk page why I wanted to do it. And waited until until the party who had disagreed with your edit had replied. His/her reply did not include any objection to that particular point. So I made an edit fixing just that, and then did no more edits until the editor in question had posted a message partially agreeing to another of my suggestions on the talk page.
• Put CCF claims for each side's casualties into the infobox.
  • Again this was done after explaining on the talk page what I wanted to do and why I wanted to do it. And I only implemented that part of what I proposed that the other editor stated that he/she agreed to.
  • You will note that the same wording is used for each side, and that the order is own side first. Nobody can complain that the other side's point of view is being given precedence. You wrote "Chinese sources... India claimed...", which implied that Chinese information was factual and accurate and Indian information was not. You would need very good sources to write like that.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Thank you for acknowledging my edits of Pulwama district and Kargil district, and for following up with other districts of India by closing the <small> tag with <small>. During my fifth edit of this group of articles, I noticed more errors and went back and fixed those as well, as you may have noticed:

• As explained at WP:HTML 5, table alignment should be upgraded to HTML5-compliant, and that means changing:
  • align=xxx to style="text-align:xxx;" (final semicolon optional)
  • valign=top to style="vertical-align:top;" (final semicolon optional)
• hyphens in ranges of dates should be en dash, e.g. 2001-2002 should be 2001–2002; this is the first character in the "Insert" menu below the editing field
• clauses beginning with "which", "when", and "who" should be preceded by a comma if the clause is nonrestrictive
  • Give me the banana that is the ripest. ("that is the ripest" is a restrictive clause.)
  • She ate a banana, which is a fruit high in potassium. ("which is a fruit high in potassium" is a non-restrictive clause.)
  • We need to select which student will win the award. (no comma.)
• Omit "on" before dates where possible: The Declaration of Independence was signed July 4, 1776. But: On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was signed.
• Hyphens for negative numbers should be minuses: −3 °C
• The template {{Official website}} should be used where possible, and it should usually be the first external link.
• Use straight apostrophe ('), not curly apostrophe (’).
• Newspapers, magazines, and books in italics.
• <ref> should not be preceded by space.
• period, comma, and other punctuation before, not after, <ref>...</ref>.

Would you like to take over for me and edit the rest of these India district articles and fix these sorts of things? —Anomalocaris (talk) 01:29, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Wtmitchell. I wanted to let you know that one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Gola Gokarannath— has been undone because it appeared to be promotional.

Would I be correct in thinking that all the many IP edits to that page posting https://golatourism.com were by you?-- Toddy1 (talk) 15:27, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
