Regarding my recent edit expanding Bhilala article with its history. You have undone my edits citing that Books released by Publication division, Min I&B is unreliable because it's infused by political consideration. I would like to say that this book concerns tribes of India their culture and history. It has been written by an author who is authority on topic. There is no political agenda in this book as this was published initially in 1990 and since many governments of numerous political affiliations have come and gone but book has remained as authoritative text. Moreover, it is a well known fact that in MP and Rajasthan Bhilalas are called Durbars, its not my original research. Also, the role of bhils in battle of haldighati and its effect on matrimonial ties between Bhil chiefs and Rajputs in no hidden fact or original research. The living proof of this is the significant place given to a Bhil warrior side by side a Rana of Mewar protecting shield of Mewar Fort in coat of arms of erstwhile state of Mewar which still adorns the Main entrance of City Palace, Udaipur. So, hitherto you have discarded colonial history (logic accepted) and documentary proof and obvious fact known to every commoner residing in these parts, a government publication mentioning a well know fact of history, Official website of Omkerashwar run by administration mentioning historical fact of bhilala history. May I please mention there are various articles throughout wikipedia which accept government sources as standards and there are numerous articles here in wikipedia which even do not have citation. if all those are removed giving logic of yours, wikipedia will be reduced to one-third of its original size. As far as other well known authors are concerned you will give same logic when they are cited. There leaves no scope of expanding these article and making them more informative as all the references (government or private, printed or digital) are one way or other unreliable as per you. Please kindly take sometime to go through these sources and study these topics with personal interest, dexterity and discussing them rather than just undoing edits with illogical reasons which stand no grounds except your prerogative as administrator.
dear sitush,
kindly do not misuse your position as administrator while editing the wiki articles. when we are providing live examples, you are just undoing the edits to satisfy your ego.
as already told to you earlier, awadhiyas are jains. hence they do not belong to obc community. much as i respect the obc community, i am a awadhiya myself and am not connected to bihar as your useless article editing suggests. and yes, i belong to general category. much as i would have loved to belong to obc and benefited from positive discrimination policy of the government in the form of reservation, alas, i cannot do so.
kindly try to refrain yourself from further baseless edits on the said article.
you seem to have ignored the vast number of awadhiyas who are jains and who are not in any way connected to bihar.
http://mpsbb.info/MP_Plant_Biodiversity/Resume.pdf
https://in.linkedin.com/in/iitkian
this person is awadhiya and is a jain. he is from madhya pradesh. he belongs to general category.
there are many ias ips ifs officers in your country who are jains and use surname awadhiya.
awadhiya actually means "who belongs to awadh". just like surname "pilania" refers to 'who hails from pilani'. or jhunjhunwala refers to 'who belongs to jhunjhunu'.
awadhiya is not a caste. and majority of awadhiyas are jains who are neither connected to bihar, nor do belong to reservation category. they are very successful and powerful people in contemporary times.
i hope that this helps.
thanks and regards, s jain — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sanskritijain ( talk • contribs) 09:09, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Not my field, but it seems odd that Dhananjaya now redirects to Arjuna where the word isn't mentioned, and we also have Dhananjaya gotra as an article, and Dhananjaya Gotra (and Dhananjaya (gotra) redirecting to Raju, and then a few given names too. And Dhananjay (actor) seems to be also known as mononymic Dhananjaya. I'll leave it to you! Pam D 13:00, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

I don't see any logic behind reverting the categorization by me. As all brahmin castes are castes which means they can be put in category of caste and so studies as a caste studies. I expect you to offer any valid explanations before you do such things again. I wish you would revert your changes to make it as it is. Sureshkhole ( talk) 10:59, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
Hello, I read the page you shared about overcategorizaiton, But neither I see any point in removing the categorization I had done nor I see anywhere the logic you are advocating is actually being followed. As none of the other pages are showing this so-called hierarchical structure of categorization. At the stage of articles where they are right now, Obviously at the advance stage of articles, Yes probably what you are saying is being followed. I am requesting you to enlighten me more about this, if any other way or example could help me to understand the reasons behind why those categories shouldn't be there. thanks.

Hi Sitush, I saw the ANI regarding PAKHIGHWAY you have initiated and had a few points to add. I think the user sometimes lets their emotions get in the way of editing and thus the POV edits. Here is one example, [1]. Another point which has not been raised at the ANI is the issue of aggressive canvassing. The user has resorted to this on two different articles in past few days. Once on Point 5353 here [2] and on Sindhi diaspora here [3]. I am not sure if this should be the part of the same ANI section you raised or should be dealt with separately. Thanks.

New article with familiar-sounding descent from a legendary dynasty, maybe you could take a look? I noticed it because it was added as a "See also" to Sikh Rajputs — a little unexpectedly, since the new article doesn't mention Sikhs or Sikhism. I see it has been "See also"'d to many other articles also. Bishonen | talk 04:43, 29 January 2018 (UTC).

Hello Sitush, would you mind adding Jogi to your watchlist? It gets about 200 views/day so it worth guarding.
I stumbled across it again for the first time in years, and it had become completely filled with cruft since. Had to go back through the History a long ways to find even a semi-decent version to revert to. Then I removed some further uncited material, and another editor caught that one large section was copyvio from some blog.
For the last two days, two IP addresses (not sure if same person) has been incessantly reverting, restoring copyvio material and inserting a bunch of uncited Kshatriya content. If you can watchlist it to, that would help, and we may need to seek partial page protection. Thanks! MatthewVanitas ( talk) 06:22, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Sitush, I need your help. a file was deleted in wiki commons c:File:Aurobindoandthemother.jpg and the reason was given as Reason: Cartier-Bresson dead 3 août 2004 - not PD , which is not true the picture was not an artistic work of Bresson it was commissioned by Mirra alfassa and he was paid for it. ( sources can be provided citing the same) and should be in public domain as it is atleast 70 year old ! . so cannot claim that bresson has the copyrights to the picture. little bit unaware of the process in commons , can you help to restore the pic ?

Ran across another caste partisan running about, here's an example diff: link.
It is impressive how consistently partisans make a big deal about the Kshatriya thing. Being an American (of a people of notoriously short memory) it's baffling to me that some guy working an IT job in a modern high-rise building is so deeply invested in alleged millennia-old history and mythic descent, but here we are. I take it for what it is, even if it's outside my kenning. These are the points where I seriously consider getting one of the codier Wikipedians to make me a bot that zeroes in on every new addition of the word "Kshatriya" and brings it to our attention so that 99% of the time we can just revert it as cruft. Ah well, this is still a healthier hobby than playing videogames for an equivalent number of hours, and more educational. MatthewVanitas ( talk) 20:43, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi Sitush, I remember you mentioning to JonathanSammy that there were discussions going on about categorizing people by castes. Is there still a discussion going on on this? I think we absolutely need caste lists. It automatically balances the extra negativity or puffery in the caste articles themselves. Besides, caste lists are facts where as varna etc. on a community are opinions and subjective. So they seem more relevant to the contributions of the caste. They are no more harder to maintain than the normal caste pages. Besides, caste lists show the direct contributions by that caste to society. Of course, any unsourced claim should be deleted. Lastly, people will always find a way to get around caste lists. For example, they will mention the names in the caste article itself. This will result in unnecessary vandalism of caste articles that are relatively stable now. In short, I am strongly of the opinion that caste lists should stay. They also improve the usefulness of the Wikipedia caste article several times. Amongst Indians as well, castes are given a lot of importance and it is natural to search for caste lists. I myself find List of Deshastha Brahmins more interesting than the Deshastha Brahmin article, since there is not much new to learn in the article for someone familiar with its culture. Most people are interested in caste lists rather than the minutiae of the caste itself. When I read about some unknown north Indian or south Indian communities the first thing I look for is if I have heard of any member of that caste in real life(TV, news, history etc). That gives a better perspective than some mythological belief in the article. After the caste head section, the next important thing is the caste list, IMHO - sometimes more important than the head section itself for someone who already knows about the caste.

Discussion of VanniyarHi Floq, not seen you lurking here for a while, which is an oxymoron but you'll know what I mean. And I dispute "roughly 98%" - it must be at least "roughly 98.1%".
Zanygenius, the Joshua Project website that you cited has been deemed to be an unreliable source in discussion(s) open to the English Wikipedia community at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard. I can try to find the specific discussion(s) if you want to pursue this but the important point at the outset is to understand what is said at the WP:CONSENSUS page, so perhaps read that first. As for your other source, well, I think Studies in Indian Politics would be reliable generally, given its publisher and its relationship to the ethics association mentioned in that article. However, your phrasing seemed all wrong to me, not merely because it is awkward to read but because it seems pretty unlikely based on my experience of the topic area. I don't have access to the article in question but I should be able to get it if I ask at the Resource Exchange, and I will certainly do that tomorrow. I apologise that my edit summary was somewhat misleading in only mentioning the reliability issue. The caste topic area is notoriously awkward to keep in good order - indeed, notoriously awkward to get into good order - and sometimes, despite my best efforts, I do not explain things very well. Anyway, I will try to get a copy of the paper you referenced and hopefully we can come to some agreement regarding it. Feel free to continue this discussion, especially if you don't see anything from me at the Vanniyar article in the next few days. - Sitush ( talk) 01:01, 23 February 2018 (UTC) Oh, by the way, the message at the top of my page is a joke. People put genuine "tags" at the top of articles for all sorts of reasons that sometimes are justified and quite often are not. Common tags include {{ Unreferenced}} and {{ Refimprove}}, {{ NPOV}}, etc. When people are just passing through an article and add those banner things at the top it is sometimes called "drive-by tagging". It can be justified but there is also another argument, best explained at WP:SOFIXIT. Thanks for your concern but the tag at the top of this page, which you will never see in an article (hopefully) is just one of those little things that we are allowed to get away with even though Wikipedia is not a social media website. It sort of expresses my cynicism with how some people approach the project ... but it is also just funny, if you understand the background to it. No big deal. - Sitush ( talk) 01:10, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

You can search about Rajapalayam in wiki itself.

While I don't understand the precise reasons as to why my sources were deemed unreliable, I am grateful for your intervention. Perhaps I should stick to minor edits and death notices going forward. I apologize for my blunderings. 72.129.236.61 ( talk) 10:10, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello, you've been baselessly reverting my edits on Dulla Bhatti. Earlier you claimed we had to go by sources. Even though all my edits were only from the sources themselves. I even clarified it by adding url to a readable version and the quote itself. You have still removed them claiming they are already there in the article. However they are not.
Gaur which is used in the article clearly states the rescue of women is folklore, "He was a Robin Hood sort of figure who not only took from the rich and gave to the poor, but, as folklore tells it, saved girls from being captured and sold into the slave market. His rescuing of Punjabi girls from abduction and in betrothing them to suitable matches while also providing their dowries has made him a legend."
You also baselessly removed my other addition about a folk tale of his assistance to a Brahmin. This too is not mentioned.
I am only correcting the wording as per the sources. I'd undertand if it was a real dispute. Why are you removing my edits under baseless reasons when my edits are nothing like you are claiming? 117.224.85.83 ( talk) 22:49, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
In the bit where it explains the Mughal incursion that forced Shivaji to surrender and sign the Treaty of Purandar, for at least several years (maybe far longer) it's said "a force of 150,000 men". On a hunch I checked on that, and the exact source cited clearly says "15,000 men". So someone sneaky added a zero who-knows-when, so now the internet is full of less-reputable books/articles all saying "150,000". So basically some Maratha partisan sitting at his computer has successfully convinced thousands of people that the Mughal forces were ten times the size they were. Glad I caught it, but kicking myself for not catching it earlier on a page that gets nearly 2 million views per year... MatthewVanitas ( talk) 06:05, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
The next time you remove appropriately cited content from an article I'm working on we're going to have a problem. I suggest you move on. Pergaps fix up your own articles.

Hey Sitush, not asking for your personal involvement since you're pretty booked in the struggle, but just asking your advice.
I intend sometime this year to put Shivaji up for GA status. I'm steadily fact-checking every single "cn" in the article, bouncing it against longer accounts to make sure major details haven't been glossed over (the article liked to avoid mention of Shivaji's alliances with his sometime-enemies and make him look more independent), copyediting, fixing layout, etc. The quandary I find myself in: if I just cite and clean the article as-is, it's been really stable for a couple years other than the constant mayfly editors pleading with us to jam honorifics everywhere. So to one degree, I'm inclined to let sleeping dogs lie and just make a steady thing cleaner, then GA submit it.
On the other hand, one could argue that avoiding the controversy over Shivaji's ancestry and qualification for coronation would require adding about one single sourced paragraph to the page, but is almost guaranteed to kick off a major feud on the Talk page no matter how well I source it or how balanced and/or proportionate I am with "A says, but B says".
So, do I GA submit an article that pretty much everyone is okay with that might be missing one controversy of interest (which to be fair isn't absolutely vital to our modern understanding of Shivaji), or do I pour some gasoline onto the fire in the spirit of not avoiding controversial material? Thoughts? MatthewVanitas ( talk) 23:00, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
Okay, I'm coming "loaded for bear": Talk:Shivaji#Covering_the_controversy_of_Shivaji's_coronation. I got 33 freaking citations to a wide array of works, scholars both Indian and foreign, 19th century and last year, etc. that clearly demonstrate that their is a controversy over Shivaji's qualifications to be crowned.
I realize that there are going to be a chunk of people who will absolutely not, no matter what, agree with the article having the slightest implication that his coronation was controversial. But I'm never winning those folks over anyway, so I'm not worried about them. So I just figure with a whole sheet of direct quotations and cites to works that say "there is a controversy" and explain the different possibilities, any neutral editor dropping in would be 100% on-board with the article presenting it as controversial.
I'm going to hold off for a bit on adding in the controversy, since if there's going to be a fight I want to have the table clean first, so that I'm not getting reverted in the middle of trying to fix cites and whatnot. This may get interesting. MatthewVanitas ( talk) 05:47, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

In 2017 – 2018, the Wikimedia Foundation and Google working in close coordination with the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), Wikimedia India Chapter (WMIN) and user groups from India, are piloting a program encouraging Wikipedia communities to create locally relevant and high-quality content in Indian languages. This program will (a) support active and experienced Wikipedia editors through the donation of laptops and stipends for internet access and (b) sponsor a language-based contest that aims to address existing Wikipedia content gaps.
Phase (a) has been completed, during which active contributors were awarded laptops and internet stipends. Phase (b) will be a contest in which editors will come together and develop a writing contest focused on content gaps. Each month three individual prizes will be awarded to each community based on their contribution for the month. The prizes worth 3,000 INR, 2000 INR, and 1,000 INR, will be awarded to the top contributors for each month. The contest started at March 1, 2018, 0:00, and will end at May 31, 2018, 23:59 (IST). Useful links are as follows:

Hello Sitush, on Shivaji I'm tracking down the last handful of cn's, and I'm almost totally done with the actual biography section. I need to do some re-writing on the section on his governance policies, but that's the last major thing outside of Legacy. Vanamonde (who has offered to review from WP:I) said that Legacy is the main area they wanted to see meatier, to see what Shivaji has meant since his death. Vanamonde also said using Sarkar heavily for basic timeline was fine, and per your suggestion I switched the URL for Sarkar to Archive.org since they have the same edition and pages all match, so that's a relief.
So should you want to dip in for a bit, the main thing I could use is help on "Legacy", particular on the "Contemporary" section (which I might expand to "Early" instead). I have a few sentences on what the Mughals wrote about Shivaji, but if you run across any nice meaty descriptions of what the Brits thought about him, that would be useful to add.
In the "Legacy#Inspiration" section (roughly 1930s–1980s) I need to flesh out the ways Shiv Sena and RSS use Shivaji's mythos, so if you have insights there that'd also be useful. No pressure at all, but since you showed some interest that is the single biggest area where I could use your expertise. Thanks for any support, whether contributions, words of wisdom, or just moral support! MatthewVanitas ( talk) 02:05, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
Frick, it turns out that Shivaji is the 49th most-popular article on all of WikiProject India, per Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Popular pages. I vaguely recall it was around 134th back in 2012, and 76th at last point I checked in the remote past. I'm feeling good about this being a good choice to press to GA and possible FA. That leaves the question: once I GA or FA Shivaji, what do I do next? Do I just go through the WP:I list of top articles until I find an Indian historical biography that's in terrible shape? And btw I standardized the Firstname Lastname in the references, thanks for that note. MatthewVanitas ( talk) 00:58, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I see you are still attempting to improve the two articles that are currently being discussed regarding deletion. Your changes are not likely to make any difference to the outcome and, as I have said to you before, you should not even be editing the one that concerns your grandfather.
It is quite common for people new to Wikipedia to attempt to create new articles at the outset and quite often those articles are unsuitable for inclusion because the creators do not understand our policies and guidelines. It might be better if you - like them - began by editing existing articles, of which we have over five million, and through that learn what is and is not acceptable here. - Sitush ( talk) 13:16, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

I am raising your issue at the Administrators' noticeboard. I apologized to you for giving too many sources. I condensed my sources and started a new section. You still didn't bother to respond.

Hi Sitush, can you please explain why you removed the citation to s:1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Romesh Chandra Mitra, Sir in the Romesh Chandra Mitra article. The piece of text "When the post of chief justice was temporarily vacant in 1882, the marquis of Ripon, then viceroy of India, appointed Romesh Chandra to officiate in that post—the highest judicial position in the Indian empire." was taken from the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica article and Wikipedia policy is to provide citations.
Would you also kindly provide evidence that 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica is a "... a source that we deprecate for Indian stuff"? An who is the "we" you refer to?

We have been exchanging words in another place. I hoped that we could agree to differ.
You have now deleted material I have written and reduced the article (Wells and Fakenham Railway) to almost no useful information. Writing my material had taken some considerable time and included visiting a University reference library some distance from my home for research.
I understand your preference that page numbers would be quoted in citations, and I have explained why in some situations I think that is unhelpful and off-putting to inexperienced users.
Your disagreement with my point of view is your privilege, but deleting my material, calling it "crap", and incorrectly claiming that it is impossible to verify, is improper behaviour.
I still hope that we can amicably agree to differ; my objective, and I presume yours, is to improve the quality of Wikipedia as perceived by users, ("customers" if you like).

I will Give You All Proof of this Article The town of Khaga is said to have been established by a brave ruler belonging to the martial Suryavanshi clan, named Maharaja Khadagsen (also referred to as Khadag Singh). Maharaja Khadagsen Was The Son Of Maharaja Dalpatsen . Maharaja Dalpatsen Belongs to Raja Kanaksen Family And Raja Kanaksen Was a Bloodline Of Raja Kush . And Raja Kush Was The Son Of Lord Rama . The Suryavanshi who ruled doaba region post Gupta period, came to control large parts of Fatehpur district (including Ayah and Khaga) and parts of Allahabad region under Khadagsen's rule. It is also said that Ark Nagvanshi kshatriya (also referred to as ' Ark the synonym of Surya ' ) rulers conducted Dashashwamegha yajnas (Horse sacrifices) in the doab region (area between Ganges and Yamuna) to prove their supremacy. Their power decayed with the rise of competing powers in the form of other Rajputs and Muslims. Fort Was was situated near Kukri kukra lake but is now in ruins, however many people say that there was a fort there. Many stories about Maharaja Khadagsen were destroyed during the British Raj, or by singrour Dariyao Singh. That's the reason the history was lost.

Hi Sitush, I hope i am requesting the edit at the right place. I am new to Wikipedia and i am sorry in advance if i am writing at wrong place. I have objection with the words {{hoax}}{{Tradition and Pig Rearing}} in the article Pasi (Caste) /info/en/?search=Pasi_(caste)
I believe these two words as a hoax created about my community and the sources provided do not clearly state these thing. I have already requested edit on the Pasi Talk page but it seems nobody is looking at it and that is the reason why i have come to you just to get some help and at least for a reply. The primary reason i want to change these words is because i also come from this community and the article is saying that we had pig rearing as a tradition. I believe for being a tradition it is needed to be followed by the majority of people. Just because Chandra Bhan Prasad's book says that 5 out of 25 pasis of his village reared pigs that doesn't mean our entire community was following this as a tradition.
Itself chandra bhan's Statement contradict to it that if 5 people out 25 were doing this activity that simply means majority of people were not doing this even in his village at that point of time which he mentioned decades ago. This clearly states that even decades ago majority of people even in his village were not following it, then how can he say it a tradition?. May be those circumstances were created because of the heavy taxation imposed by the British Government and the famine that occurred in India. But, it was not our primary tradition, we were peasants, the farmers of India, in most parts and were involved in various agricultural farming related activities. Like other peasants we also performed animal husbandry we had cattle to plough the field to sow seeds, other animals for milking etc then why just the pigs rearing word was used there ? And, if we were not peasants then why we joined peasant movement of India. Also, the Sarah Beth book which the writer has provided citation doesn't describe much about our community he just said caste of pig rearers how can someone just blame entire community without any census ?
I have come here with lots of hope that you will help me in changing those two words as they are not true and defaming our entire community worldwide after it has been posted to Wikipedia. People are copying and pasting this article and spreading this wrong information. I just want to stop it before it gets too late. Later or sooner my community will gather to change this misinformation but i wan't it to be edited before it spreads all over the internet.
In India, you can understand it can become a big problem for our community which is already growing slowly. Since, we do not yet have much writers to describe our caste properly, in better words our community is still backward in terms of education. Without proper information if people post such thing then it will become a great problem for us. In India even small things get viral without thinking it scientifically like the latest incidents people are not taking small one rupees coins and 10 rupees coins that have 15 lines on it. Even when RBI has clarified it multiple times. I simply want to say if this information which is not true gets spread then our lives will become hell in this country. I tried to find sources and read multiple articles. First there are not much information available about our caste and the information that is available mostly say we were peasants who were involved in various agricultural activities. Please review my edit request and remove the word 'tradition' and replace 'pig rearing' to animal husbandry. Thanks.
Hello Sitush, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Mohit Ahlawat, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: This is a perfectly valid disambiguation page that links to two articles. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Eastmain ( talk • contribs) 09:29, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
if one of them is the primary topic for that term". In this case neither of the Mohit Ahlawats is the primary topic, so the dab page is valid, and it's correct to have an incoming redirect from "... (disambiguation)" too. If the only two articles for "Jane Smith" are "Jane Smith" and "Jane Smith (politician)" then we don't need a dab page, because a hatnote at the base name article is all that's needed. I hope that helps clarify. Pam D 11:54, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
I posted a comment earlier and I've had a relook on Muley Jats. The text about contested conversions under either Akbar or Aurangzeb or the Sufi Ganjshakar was always unsourced. See [8]. The newer sources added by the IP editor too don't contain any such information.
I haven't found any reliable source that talks about contested conversions under Ganjshakar, Aurangzeb or Akbar. I will keep looking. MonsterHunter32 ( talk) 11:24, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
I wasn't able to find anything confirming the contested conversion under either Akbar or Aurangzeb or the Sufi Ganjshakar/Baba farid so I removed the unsourced claim. Regardless, I have corrected a source and added that the information of forced conversions from both sources (another is actually an extract of the same Nonika Datta source without the references) was originally from Punjab Notes and Queries sine the sources themselves state so and it's quite an old colonial era source not based on any primary source. See [9], [10].
I've also corrected the article a bit. It is their ancestors who are traced to have been forcibly converted and circumcised. I could only find a source from Richard Eaton regarding Jats claiming conversion through Baba Farid and added it as well. To make up for a lack of primary source about forced conversion, I have also sourced thattheir own tradition states so.
Couldn't find out anything about Akbar or Aurangzeb converting them. MonsterHunter32 ( talk) 13:17, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi Sitush. Your removals of The Wire as a source are now being cited by one of our old friends as a reason for removing that source elsewhere. I have no issues with those specific removals, as I can see plenty of reasons why it isn't an appropriate source in that circumstance, but given that the organization itself is run by an ex-editor of The Hindu, which both you and I probably agree is one of the better newspapers, I wonder if you'd care to expand on your rationale, just so I'm sure you're not being misunderstood.

It's funny the way the caste warriors tend to stop cold after a sharp warning: they don't argue, they just stop editing. [11] [12] Did they use to do that?

Regarding my recent edit expanding Bhilala article with its history. You have undone my edits citing that Books released by Publication division, Min I&B is unreliable because it's infused by political consideration. I would like to say that this book concerns tribes of India their culture and history. It has been written by an author who is authority on topic. There is no political agenda in this book as this was published initially in 1990 and since many governments of numerous political affiliations have come and gone but book has remained as authoritative text. Moreover, it is a well known fact that in MP and Rajasthan Bhilalas are called Durbars, its not my original research. Also, the role of bhils in battle of haldighati and its effect on matrimonial ties between Bhil chiefs and Rajputs in no hidden fact or original research. The living proof of this is the significant place given to a Bhil warrior side by side a Rana of Mewar protecting shield of Mewar Fort in coat of arms of erstwhile state of Mewar which still adorns the Main entrance of City Palace, Udaipur. So, hitherto you have discarded colonial history (logic accepted) and documentary proof and obvious fact known to every commoner residing in these parts, a government publication mentioning a well know fact of history, Official website of Omkerashwar run by administration mentioning historical fact of bhilala history. May I please mention there are various articles throughout wikipedia which accept government sources as standards and there are numerous articles here in wikipedia which even do not have citation. if all those are removed giving logic of yours, wikipedia will be reduced to one-third of its original size. As far as other well known authors are concerned you will give same logic when they are cited. There leaves no scope of expanding these article and making them more informative as all the references (government or private, printed or digital) are one way or other unreliable as per you. Please kindly take sometime to go through these sources and study these topics with personal interest, dexterity and discussing them rather than just undoing edits with illogical reasons which stand no grounds except your prerogative as administrator.
dear sitush,
kindly do not misuse your position as administrator while editing the wiki articles. when we are providing live examples, you are just undoing the edits to satisfy your ego.
as already told to you earlier, awadhiyas are jains. hence they do not belong to obc community. much as i respect the obc community, i am a awadhiya myself and am not connected to bihar as your useless article editing suggests. and yes, i belong to general category. much as i would have loved to belong to obc and benefited from positive discrimination policy of the government in the form of reservation, alas, i cannot do so.
kindly try to refrain yourself from further baseless edits on the said article.
you seem to have ignored the vast number of awadhiyas who are jains and who are not in any way connected to bihar.
http://mpsbb.info/MP_Plant_Biodiversity/Resume.pdf
https://in.linkedin.com/in/iitkian
this person is awadhiya and is a jain. he is from madhya pradesh. he belongs to general category.
there are many ias ips ifs officers in your country who are jains and use surname awadhiya.
awadhiya actually means "who belongs to awadh". just like surname "pilania" refers to 'who hails from pilani'. or jhunjhunwala refers to 'who belongs to jhunjhunu'.
awadhiya is not a caste. and majority of awadhiyas are jains who are neither connected to bihar, nor do belong to reservation category. they are very successful and powerful people in contemporary times.
i hope that this helps.

I don't see any logic behind reverting the categorization by me. As all brahmin castes are castes which means they can be put in category of caste and so studies as a caste studies.

Hello, I read the page you shared about overcategorizaiton, But neither I see any point in removing the categorization I had done nor I see anywhere the logic you are advocating is actually being followed. As none of the other pages are showing this so-called hierarchical structure of categorization. At the stage of articles where they are right now, Obviously at the advance stage of articles, Yes probably what you are saying is being followed.

Hi Sitush, I saw the ANI regarding PAKHIGHWAY you have initiated and had a few points to add. I think the user sometimes lets their emotions get in the way of editing and thus the POV edits.

Hello Sitush, would you mind adding Jogi to your watchlist? It gets about 200 views/day so it worth guarding.
I stumbled across it again for the first time in years, and it had become completely filled with cruft since. Had to go back through the History a long ways to find even a semi-decent version to revert to. Then I removed some further uncited material, and another editor caught that one large section was copyvio from some blog.
For the last two days, two IP addresses (not sure if same person) has been incessantly reverting, restoring copyvio material and inserting a bunch of uncited Kshatriya content.

Ran across another caste partisan running about, here's an example diff: link.
It is impressive how consistently partisans make a big deal about the Kshatriya thing. Being an American (of a people of notoriously short memory) it's baffling to me that some guy working an IT job in a modern high-rise building is so deeply invested in alleged millennia-old history and mythic descent, but here we are. I take it for what it is, even if it's outside my kenning. These are the points where I seriously consider getting one of the codier Wikipedians to make me a bot that zeroes in on every new addition of the word "Kshatriya" and brings it to our attention so that 99% of the time we can just revert it as cruft.

Hi Sitush, I remember you mentioning to JonathanSammy that there were discussions going on about categorizing people by castes. Is there still a discussion going on on this? I think we absolutely need caste lists. It automatically balances the extra negativity or puffery in the caste articles themselves. Besides, caste lists are facts where as varna etc. on a community are opinions and subjective. So they seem more relevant to the contributions of the caste. They are no more harder to maintain than the normal caste pages. Besides, caste lists show the direct contributions by that caste to society. Of course, any unsourced claim should be deleted. Lastly, people will always find a way to get around caste lists. For example, they will mention the names in the caste article itself. This will result in unnecessary vandalism of caste articles that are relatively stable now. In short, I am strongly of the opinion that caste lists should stay. They also improve the usefulness of the Wikipedia caste article several times. Amongst Indians as well, castes are given a lot of importance and it is natural to search for caste lists. I myself find List of Deshastha Brahmins more interesting than the Deshastha Brahmin article, since there is not much new to learn in the article for someone familiar with its culture. Most people are interested in caste lists rather than the minutiae of the caste itself. When I read about some unknown north Indian or south Indian communities the first thing I look for is if I have heard of any member of that caste in real life(TV, news, history etc). That gives a better perspective than some mythological belief in the article. After the caste head section, the next important thing is the caste list, IMHO - sometimes more important than the head section itself for someone who already knows about the caste.

Discussion of VanniyarHi Floq, not seen you lurking here for a while, which is an oxymoron but you'll know what I mean. And I dispute "roughly 98%" - it must be at least "roughly 98.1%".
Zanygenius, the Joshua Project website that you cited has been deemed to be an unreliable source in discussion(s) open to the English Wikipedia community at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard. I can try to find the specific discussion(s) if you want to pursue this but the important point at the outset is to understand what is said at the WP:CONSENSUS page, so perhaps read that first. As for your other source, well, I think Studies in Indian Politics would be reliable generally, given its publisher and its relationship to the ethics association mentioned in that article. However, your phrasing seemed all wrong to me, not merely because it is awkward to read but because it seems pretty unlikely based on my experience of the topic area. I don't have access to the article in question but I should be able to get it if I ask at the Resource Exchange, and I will certainly do that tomorrow. I apologise that my edit summary was somewhat misleading in only mentioning the reliability issue. The caste topic area is notoriously awkward to keep in good order - indeed, notoriously awkward to get into good order - and sometimes, despite my best efforts, I do not explain things very well. Anyway, I will try to get a copy of the paper you referenced and hopefully we can come to some agreement regarding it. Feel free to continue this discussion, especially if you don't see anything from me at the Vanniyar article in the next few days. - Sitush ( talk) 01:01, 23 February 2018 (UTC) Oh, by the way, the message at the top of my page is a joke. People put genuine "tags" at the top of articles for all sorts of reasons that sometimes are justified and quite often are not. Common tags include {{ Unreferenced}} and {{ Refimprove}}, {{ NPOV}}, etc. When people are just passing through an article and add those banner things at the top it is sometimes called "drive-by tagging". It can be justified but there is also another argument, best explained at WP:SOFIXIT. Thanks for your concern but the tag at the top of this page, which you will never see in an article (hopefully) is just one of those little things that we are allowed to get away with even though Wikipedia is not a social media website. It sort of expresses my cynicism with how some people approach the project ... but it is also just funny, if you understand the background to it. No big deal. - Sitush ( talk) 01:10, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello, you've been baselessly reverting my edits on Dulla Bhatti. Earlier you claimed we had to go by sources. Even though all my edits were only from the sources themselves. I even clarified it by adding url to a readable version and the quote itself. You have still removed them claiming they are already there in the article. However they are not.
Gaur which is used in the article clearly states the rescue of women is folklore, "He was a Robin Hood sort of figure who not only took from the rich and gave to the poor, but, as folklore tells it, saved girls from being captured and sold into the slave market. His rescuing of Punjabi girls from abduction and in betrothing them to suitable matches while also providing their dowries has made him a legend."
You also baselessly removed my other addition about a folk tale of his assistance to a Brahmin. This too is not mentioned.
I am only correcting the wording as per the sources. I'd undertand if it was a real dispute. Why are you removing my edits under baseless reasons when my edits are nothing like you are claiming? 117.224.85.83 ( talk) 22:49, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
In the bit where it explains the Mughal incursion that forced Shivaji to surrender and sign the Treaty of Purandar, for at least several years (maybe far longer) it's said "a force of 150,000 men". On a hunch I checked on that, and the exact source cited clearly says "15,000 men". So someone sneaky added a zero who-knows-when, so now the internet is full of less-reputable books/articles all saying "150,000". So basically some Maratha partisan sitting at his computer has successfully convinced thousands of people that the Mughal forces were ten times the size they were.

Hey Sitush, not asking for your personal involvement since you're pretty booked in the struggle, but just asking your advice.
I intend sometime this year to put Shivaji up for GA status. I'm steadily fact-checking every single "cn" in the article, bouncing it against longer accounts to make sure major details haven't been glossed over (the article liked to avoid mention of Shivaji's alliances with his sometime-enemies and make him look more independent), copyediting, fixing layout, etc. The quandary I find myself in: if I just cite and clean the article as-is, it's been really stable for a couple years other than the constant mayfly editors pleading with us to jam honorifics everywhere. So to one degree, I'm inclined to let sleeping dogs lie and just make a steady thing cleaner, then GA submit it.
On the other hand, one could argue that avoiding the controversy over Shivaji's ancestry and qualification for coronation would require adding about one single sourced paragraph to the page, but is almost guaranteed to kick off a major feud on the Talk page no matter how well I source it or how balanced and/or proportionate I am with "A says, but B says".
So, do I GA submit an article that pretty much everyone is okay with that might be missing one controversy of interest (which to be fair isn't absolutely vital to our modern understanding of Shivaji), or do I pour some gasoline onto the fire in the spirit of not avoiding controversial material? Thoughts? MatthewVanitas ( talk) 23:00, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
Okay, I'm coming "loaded for bear": Talk:Shivaji#Covering_the_controversy_of_Shivaji's_coronation. I got 33 freaking citations to a wide array of works, scholars both Indian and foreign, 19th century and last year, etc. that clearly demonstrate that their is a controversy over Shivaji's qualifications to be crowned.
I realize that there are going to be a chunk of people who will absolutely not, no matter what, agree with the article having the slightest implication that his coronation was controversial. But I'm never winning those folks over anyway, so I'm not worried about them. So I just figure with a whole sheet of direct quotations and cites to works that say "there is a controversy" and explain the different possibilities, any neutral editor dropping in would be 100% on-board with the article presenting it as controversial.
I'm going to hold off for a bit on adding in the controversy, since if there's going to be a fight I want to have the table clean first, so that I'm not getting reverted in the middle of trying to fix cites and whatnot. This may get interesting. MatthewVanitas ( talk) 05:47, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

In 2017 – 2018, the Wikimedia Foundation and Google working in close coordination with the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), Wikimedia India Chapter (WMIN) and user groups from India, are piloting a program encouraging Wikipedia communities to create locally relevant and high-quality content in Indian languages. This program will (a) support active and experienced Wikipedia editors through the donation of laptops and stipends for internet access and (b) sponsor a language-based contest that aims to address existing Wikipedia content gaps.
Phase (a) has been completed, during which active contributors were awarded laptops and internet stipends. Phase (b) will be a contest in which editors will come together and develop a writing contest focused on content gaps. Each month three individual prizes will be awarded to each community based on their contribution for the month. The prizes worth 3,000 INR, 2000 INR, and 1,000 INR, will be awarded to the top contributors for each month. The contest started at March 1, 2018, 0:00, and will end at May 31, 2018, 23:59 (IST).

Hello Sitush, on Shivaji I'm tracking down the last handful of cn's, and I'm almost totally done with the actual biography section. I need to do some re-writing on the section on his governance policies, but that's the last major thing outside of Legacy. Vanamonde (who has offered to review from WP:I) said that Legacy is the main area they wanted to see meatier, to see what Shivaji has meant since his death. Vanamonde also said using Sarkar heavily for basic timeline was fine, and per your suggestion I switched the URL for Sarkar to Archive.org since they have the same edition and pages all match, so that's a relief.
So should you want to dip in for a bit, the main thing I could use is help on "Legacy", particular on the "Contemporary" section (which I might expand to "Early" instead). I have a few sentences on what the Mughals wrote about Shivaji, but if you run across any nice meaty descriptions of what the Brits thought about him, that would be useful to add.
In the "Legacy#Inspiration" section (roughly 1930s–1980s) I need to flesh out the ways Shiv Sena and RSS use Shivaji's mythos, so if you have insights there that'd also be useful. No pressure at all, but since you showed some interest that is the single biggest area where I could use your expertise. Thanks for any support, whether contributions, words of wisdom, or just moral support! MatthewVanitas ( talk) 02:05, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
Frick, it turns out that Shivaji is the 49th most-popular article on all of WikiProject India, per Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Popular pages. I vaguely recall it was around 134th back in 2012, and 76th at last point I checked in the remote past. I'm feeling good about this being a good choice to press to GA and possible FA. That leaves the question: once I GA or FA Shivaji, what do I do next? Do I just go through the WP:I list of top articles until I find an Indian historical biography that's in terrible shape? And btw I standardized the Firstname Lastname in the references, thanks for that note. MatthewVanitas ( talk) 00:58, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I see you are still attempting to improve the two articles that are currently being discussed regarding deletion. Your changes are not likely to make any difference to the outcome and, as I have said to you before, you should not even be editing the one that concerns your grandfather.
It is quite common for people new to Wikipedia to attempt to create new articles at the outset and quite often those articles are unsuitable for inclusion because the creators do not understand our policies and guidelines.

Hi Sitush, can you please explain why you removed the citation to s:1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Romesh Chandra Mitra, Sir in the Romesh Chandra Mitra article.

Would you also kindly provide evidence that 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica is a "... a source that we deprecate for Indian stuff"? An who is the "we" you refer to?

We have been exchanging words in another place. I hoped that we could agree to differ.
You have now deleted material I have written and reduced the article (Wells and Fakenham Railway) to almost no useful information. Writing my material had taken some considerable time and included visiting a University reference library some distance from my home for research.
I understand your preference that page numbers would be quoted in citations, and I have explained why in some situations I think that is unhelpful and off-putting to inexperienced users.
Your disagreement with my point of view is your privilege, but deleting my material, calling it "crap", and incorrectly claiming that it is impossible to verify, is improper behaviour.

If a book comprises 114 pages + an index, should we expect people to cite the specific page(s) that they are relying upon when citing it or is it ok just to cite the entire book? I would appreciate thoughts from the watchers here. Thanks. - Sitush ( talk) 20:48, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
railway history books, which are almost always sequentialand
at Great North of Scotland Railway where there are 222 citations, most of them from Vallance's book- great example. Vallance's book on the Great North of Scotland Railway isn't sequential; he groups into chapters events that occurred in the same geographical area although not necessarily in the same timeframe. For example, chapter 9 concludes with events that occurred in 1897; and chapter 10 commences in 1883. -- Redrose64 🌹 ( talk) 11:53, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
Hey there. I am not sure what does 'hosted copyright violation' mean. I cited a biography book to the content I added, which is written by a third party. I thought it's alright to cite it. The content I added was taken from a physical copy of the book, and that's why I cited it on a random place. Though, I was looking forward to adding the citation in places that looked critical enough. Moreover, I couldn't find the concerned topic on WP:RS. Thanks.

The Wiki Page of Lokendra Singh Kalvi encompass three major sections i.e. About him, His Political life and the controversies. In the About section, the details of his life was given. In terms of Political life, all his political life was mentioned except one line about the emergence of Karni Sena. The third section is about the controversies that have been faced by him. Its obvious that such a big personality will undoubtedly have some controversies. So, I request you to make this page live and consider the recommendation. There are many more updates like DOB, Education, Personal life that needs to be added later. But for now, this is the only information available. So, I request to activate the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 106.207.175.247 ( talk) 13:29, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

If Editting Was Wrong Then defenitly you Will Blocked But Give Me 1 reason Someone Changed This Article Then I Will Correct Its My Problem Or Someone Abusing Me Or Threating violence And Warn Me Dont Post True Article Or Do Not Change Sir is this my Fault Tell Me . I will Give You All Proof of this Article The town of Khaga is said to have been established by a brave ruler belonging to the martial Suryavanshi clan, named Maharaja Khadagsen (also referred to as Khadag Singh). Maharaja Khadagsen Was The Son Of Maharaja Dalpatsen . Maharaja Dalpatsen Belongs to Raja Kanaksen Family And Raja Kanaksen Was a Bloodline Of Raja Kush . And Raja Kush Was The Son Of Lord Rama . The Suryavanshi who ruled doaba region post Gupta period, came to control large parts of Fatehpur district (including Ayah and Khaga) and parts of Allahabad region under Khadagsen's rule. It is also said that Ark Nagvanshi kshatriya (also referred to as ' Ark the synonym of Surya ' ) rulers conducted Dashashwamegha yajnas (Horse sacrifices) in the doab region (area between Ganges and Yamuna) to prove their supremacy. Their power decayed with the rise of competing powers in the form of other Rajputs and Muslims. Fort Was was situated near Kukri kukra lake but is now in ruins, however many people say that there was a fort there. Many stories about Maharaja Khadagsen were destroyed during the British Raj, or by singrour Dariyao Singh. That's the reason the history was lost.

On 15 April 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Crawford family of the White Mountains, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Crawford family were pioneers of tourism in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and have numerous places named after them there? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Crawford family of the White Mountains. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Crawford family of the White Mountains), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi, Sitush. Would you be able to make an edit to the article Satya Nadella? He recently released a number of images on https://news.microsoft.com/exec/satya-nadella/ under Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike, and I've uploaded them to Wikimedia Commons. He says he'd prefer this one for the article photo. I'm hoping it would be a non-controversial replacement, but technically shouldn't do it myself, since I do work for the company. Would you be able to? -- GRuban ( talk) 13:26, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for your comemnt about the Sowler category. I have no particular inside knowledge about the person, and I have to say that your guess is as good as mine on most of the questuins that you asked, It just seemed to me to me that his principal distinction was in business, not politics, from the narrative.

Hi Sitush, I hope i am requesting the edit at the right place. I am new to Wikipedia and i am sorry in advance if i am writing at wrong place. I have objection with the words {{hoax}}{{Tradition and Pig Rearing}} in the article Pasi (Caste) /info/en/?search=Pasi_(caste)
I believe these two words as a hoax created about my community and the sources provided do not clearly state these thing. I have already requested edit on the Pasi Talk page but it seems nobody is looking at it and that is the reason why i have come to you just to get some help and at least for a reply. The primary reason i want to change these words is because i also come from this community and the article is saying that we had pig rearing as a tradition. I believe for being a tradition it is needed to be followed by the majority of people. Just because Chandra Bhan Prasad's book says that 5 out of 25 pasis of his village reared pigs that doesn't mean our entire community was following this as a tradition.
Itself chandra bhan's Statement contradict to it that if 5 people out 25 were doing this activity that simply means majority of people were not doing this even in his village at that point of time which he mentioned decades ago. This clearly states that even decades ago majority of people even in his village were not following it, then how can he say it a tradition?. May be those circumstances were created because of the heavy taxation imposed by the British Government and the famine that occurred in India. But, it was not our primary tradition, we were peasants, the farmers of India, in most parts and were involved in various agricultural farming related activities. Like other peasants we also performed animal husbandry we had cattle to plough the field to sow seeds, other animals for milking etc then why just the pigs rearing word was used there ? And, if we were not peasants then why we joined peasant movement of India. Also, the Sarah Beth book which the writer has provided citation doesn't describe much about our community he just said caste of pig rearers how can someone just blame entire community without any census ?
I have come here with lots of hope that you will help me in changing those two words as they are not true and defaming our entire community worldwide after it has been posted to Wikipedia. People are copying and pasting this article and spreading this wrong information. I just want to stop it before it gets too late. Later or sooner my community will gather to change this misinformation but i wan't it to be edited before it spreads all over the internet.
In India, you can understand it can become a big problem for our community which is already growing slowly. Since, we do not yet have much writers to describe our caste properly, in better words our community is still backward in terms of education. Without proper information if people post such thing then it will become a great problem for us. In India even small things get viral without thinking it scientifically like the latest incidents people are not taking small one rupees coins and 10 rupees coins that have 15 lines on it. Even when RBI has clarified it multiple times. I simply want to say if this information which is not true gets spread then our lives will become hell in this country. I tried to find sources and read multiple articles. First there are not much information available about our caste and the information that is available mostly say we were peasants who were involved in various agricultural activities. Please review my edit request and remove the word 'tradition' and replace 'pig rearing' to animal husbandry. Thanks.
Hello Sitush, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Mohit Ahlawat, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: This is a perfectly valid disambiguation page that links to two articles. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Eastmain ( talk • contribs) 09:29, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
if one of them is the primary topic for that term". In this case neither of the Mohit Ahlawats is the primary topic, so the dab page is valid, and it's correct to have an incoming redirect from "... (disambiguation)" too. If the only two articles for "Jane Smith" are "Jane Smith" and "Jane Smith (politician)" then we don't need a dab page, because a hatnote at the base name article is all that's needed. I hope that helps clarify. Pam D 11:54, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
I posted a comment earlier and I've had a relook on Muley Jats. The text about contested conversions under either Akbar or Aurangzeb or the Sufi Ganjshakar was always unsourced. See [8]. The newer sources added by the IP editor too don't contain any such information.
I haven't found any reliable source that talks about contested conversions under Ganjshakar, Aurangzeb or Akbar. I will keep looking. MonsterHunter32 ( talk) 11:24, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
I wasn't able to find anything confirming the contested conversion under either Akbar or Aurangzeb or the Sufi Ganjshakar/Baba farid so I removed the unsourced claim. Regardless, I have corrected a source and added that the information of forced conversions from both sources (another is actually an extract of the same Nonika Datta source without the references) was originally from Punjab Notes and Queries sine the sources themselves state so and it's quite an old colonial era source not based on any primary source. See [9], [10].
I've also corrected the article a bit. It is their ancestors who are traced to have been forcibly converted and circumcised. I could only find a source from Richard Eaton regarding Jats claiming conversion through Baba Farid and added it as well. To make up for a lack of primary source about forced conversion, I have also sourced thattheir own tradition states so.
Couldn't find out anything about Akbar or Aurangzeb converting them. MonsterHunter32 ( talk) 13:17, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi Sitush. Your removals of The Wire as a source are now being cited by one of our old friends as a reason for removing that source elsewhere. I have no issues with those specific removals, as I can see plenty of reasons why it isn't an appropriate source in that circumstance, but given that the organization itself is run by an ex-editor of The Hindu, which both you and I probably agree is one of the better newspapers, I wonder if you'd care to expand on your rationale, just so I'm sure you're not being misunderstood.

It's funny the way the caste warriors tend to stop cold after a sharp warning: they don't argue, they just stop editing. [11] [12] Did they use to do that? Anyway, to me, that suggests they find creating new accounts easier than defending the old. As indeed it is. 😕 Bishonen | talk 19:21, 19 April 2018 (UTC).
