The present image may not be the best image we have of Ambedkar. It is unusually close-up for a portrait and is of side profile. If we agree to change the image, then this I feel is a good candidate. Consider taking part in the consensus.
Wouldn't be correct transcription of the name Bhimrav … ? Regards, — Mykhal ( talk) 05:15, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
The IPA transliteration given for Babasaheb is incorrect. The word is written in Marathi as well as Sanskrit as बाबासाहेब, which when converted to Latin script through ISO 15919, results in 'Bābāsāheb', and when compared with Help:IPA/Sanskrit, gives the correct IPA transliteration as [baːbaːsaːɦeb].
Therefore I request that [bʌbəsɑheb] be changed to [baːbaːsaːɦeb]. Thank you SomePacifisticGuy ( talk) 11:53, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Fowler&fowler: The text of the article says: Ambedkar was born on 14 April 1891 in the town and military cantonment of
Mhow (now officially known as Dr Ambedkar Nagar) in the
Central Provinces (now in
Madhya Pradesh).
[1]
References
The source cited for this does not mention that it was in
Central Provinces. The source says: Bhim Rao Ambedkar was born on April 14, 1891 in Mhow, a garrison town close to Indore–the capital of a princely state of the same name which was to be incorporated into the province of Madhya Bharat (contemporary Madhya Pradesh) after independence.
Please can you make a suitable correction.--

He was a social reformer ,activist 117.215.149.37 ( talk) 13:04, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
In early life section, it says They were not allowed to sit inside the class.
In his book Waiting for Visa, he says For instance, I knew that in the school I could
not sit in the midst of my class students according to my rank but that I was to sit in a
corner by myself.
This suggests that he was allowed inside the class but had to sit in corner.
Either the sentence can be removed, since the line before it mentions untouchable children were segregated, or rewritten that Ambedkar was made sit in corner by himself.-- Krutarth ( talk) 17:30, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Babasaheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar did not get his surname from a Marathi Brahmin Teacher whose surname was Ambedkar. There is evidence for proving that. Babasaheb got his surname from his village's name.Babasaheb Dr.B.R. Ambedkar's elder brother Bala also had this surname which is mentioned in the official documents. so, please remove this error of information from the Wikipedia Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's page's Early life Part. This can lead to a controversy also because it is fake information that is present on that Wikipedia page.So, change the information that Babasaheb Dr. b.R.

The heading written is wrong. So please take note of that it's not only B.R.Ambedkar but it is Dr.B.R.Ambedkar. Because Man's reputation is considered by its Educations. And we Indians inspired from Dr.B.R.Ambedkar through his Education. So I hope you can change the heading in correct manner. Thank you. 112.79.73.64 ( talk) 09:22, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Looking at your edits, it looks like you are deliberately omitting the mention of Ambedkar's barrister degree, why? Your edits - 6 August 2023 and 22 January 2024.
In 1922, Ambedkar was called to the bar and became a "barrister-at-law". source. 2409:4042:806:ACAA:38B2:7060:FC8B:DDE4 ( talk) 16:21, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
