Hello Uanfala. I didn't know the full citation was in the "Further reading", thank you. But i think if a source is used as an inline citation in an article, it should not be in the "Further reading" section of the article. Puduḫepa 18:57, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
Hello, and Namaste, dear Uanfala, I am Dheeraj789 you revert Template:Hindi topics and Template:Urdu topics edits to old but, I think when we add some more varieties, I think we can describe Hindi and Urdu.

These are the IP ranges that have been used by sami in past: 39.51.*, 119.157.*, 182.190.*, 119.159.*, 119.153.*, 43.246.*, 182.183.*. If you see Urdu POV from any of these ranges (or any PTCL Karachi IP) and similar sami nonsense it is most likely him; currently his edits are coming from 39.51.*. His edits have been somewhat limited due to previous range blocks and page protections, so do RPP and watchlist extremely disrupted pages. We need to ask for range blocks and page protections whenever possible. Fylind please add a range block request for 39.51.* to your latest SPI on sami [IP range edits are there on the Urdu article]. Also keep an eye on Urdu POV from weird usernames which are most likely sami socks. Thanks. Gotitbro ( talk) 07:44, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
Do you think this [1] might be another one? – Austronesier ( talk) 10:52, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
@ Uanfala, Fylindfotberserk, and Austronesier: I am going to create an LTA page for sami. Can someone help me to list the ranges in the discussion above (39.51.*, 119.157.*, 182.190.*, 119.159.*, 119.153.*, 43.246.*, 182.183.*, 168.211.*, 196.195.*, 117.102.*) as they are in the infobox here (in the CIDR format). Thanks. Gotitbro ( talk) 06:32, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
Uanfala and @ Fylindfotberserk: I have created the LTA page for sami, here: WP:LTA/SAMI. Feel free to add anything you think should be there or I have missed. Just cite the LTA when reverting him. I also ask you to be extra vigilant especially now, its COVID-19 and our puppeteer has all the time in the world (with most countries on lockdown including PK). @ Uanfala: Can you take a look at Rekhta and take care of the socking there. Fylind can you look at the Dubbing (filmmaking) and watchlist it. Thanks. Gotitbro ( talk) 13:31, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
@ Austronesier: It really is, I usually wait for the accounts/IPs to get blocked after submitting an SPI but the disruption continues unabated in that timeframe and it gets hard to ignore. All language article listed in the Central Indo-Aryan languages are targeted by this puppeteer, including articles related to Urdu and Hindi: Dakhini, Old Hindi etc. If you can watchlist these it would be great.

Hi Uanfala! FYI, unrelated to this but the same kind of problem: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/WorldCreaterFighter – Austronesier ( talk) 12:55, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
I appreciate your rationale for changing the cleanup tags to {{ cn}} and I understand why you think it unnecessary to put cleanup tags on a short article, but I do think they can be appropriate for short articles in some cases; I don't feel strongly enough to revert, but I did want to explain myself. In this case, Dehwar is a short article, but it has been around for more than 10 years, has been longer quite longer than one sentence, and has included references (though they were evidently unreliable). While I did want to note that the page was unsourced, I moreso thought it deserved {{ sources exist}} to appropriately reflect that both you (based on your edit summary) and I (based on a Google books search prompted by your edit summary) had verified that this subject had sources and found the subject potentially notable. I do not feel that I know enough about the sources to validate the subject, but the tag was intended to prompt cleanup that would prevent it from being nominated for AfD, not to indicate that I thought it should be deleted. — Ost ( talk) 16:11, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi Uanfala! I want to create a stub about Ende, an Austronesian languages spoken in Flores, Indonesia. Currently, Ende language is a dab. The first entry is a pretty uncommon (I won't say "spurious" again) alt name for the "Sumba–Flores" (or "Flores–Sumba" or "Flores–Sumba–Hawu") subgroup. A simple redirect would suffice, no idea why it is in the dab.
The second entry is "my" Ende. Currently, it redirects to Li'o language, but in all modern sources, it is treated as a distinct language (including in the dear old aunties Ethnololgue and Glottolog). ISO 639-3 is [end].
The third entry is Agob language, which is a redirect to the Agob languages in PNG. In Ethnologue and Glottog, Ende is considered of variant of the Agob language.
Before I create a mess with redirects and the dab, I'd better ask before you have to clean it up: my idea is to kick out the first entry (back to straight redirect), create a new stub Ende language (Indonesia) and a new redirect Ende language (Papua New Guinea)→ Agob languages. The dab will then be:
Ende may refer to the following languages:
In spite of the different ISO status, I prefer to treat the two Ende-s equally. What do you think? – Austronesier ( talk) 14:43, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Unafala. You recently reverted the page Hindi (disambiguation). Notice, though, that the page is a disambiguation page and not an article. Therefore, it should not contain maps, detailed descriptions, or other information of that sort. A disambiguation page should contain only a list of bulleted links to things called (in this instance) Hindi. See MOS:DAB for the manual of style. If there are, as you say, "actually legitimate entries", please add them. But also, please remove all the material that is not related to disambiguation. Happy editing, Cnilep ( talk) 05:22, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
Bonjour, Unafala. Thanks for your comment on my draft about “Brazilian numbers”. Excuse my English that is not my native language.
1) I was really surprised to read that Sulfurboy on February 27 does not accept my draft about “Brazilian Number“ because ”This submission provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter". !!!!
2) Today, I see that my submission on “Brazilian Numbers" has been created on March 1, very big thanks...
3)… but this article has been put in “Repdigit” article.
4) I really think that this article merits to have its own article. Why?
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nombre_br%C3%A9silien
Hence, please, only one question, why don't you create a Brazilian number article independent as in French Wikipédia? There is no sens to put this structured article of 102 lines at the end of the repdigit article of only 7 lines...
Merci for your answer.
Best regards.

Hi,
I see you have some interest in this, so I thought I'd solicit your input before I go ahead with this.
As you've probably seen, I've modified the entry for Coronavirus on the Corona dab page, to follow Wikipedia style guidelines as well as include useful/germane entries related to the increased use of "corona" as shorthand for outbreak-related topics.
In doing so I noticed a couple of things:
and...
There's an easy fix for this, I think. What is actually called for is a "coronavirus" disambiguation page. That's what's become an overlaid term that refers to the virus, the specific virus strain, the disease it causes, and the outbreak of that disease. "Corona" is a shorthand abbreviation for that blurry term, but it's not used as often as "coronavirus".
The "Corona" dab page can then simply refer to this:
See also
...and its existence will simplify the Coronavirus hatnote:
Thoughts? I've already created the disambiguation page, as that seems like a non-controversial step in any event.-- NapoliRoma ( talk) 20:37, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
Hello, I requested you to move page " Tea-tribe of Assam" to "Tea garden community of Assam" as "Tea garden community of Assam" is correct name for the article because So called tea tribe are not entirely tribal or Scheduled Tribes people as it also includes several Scheduled Caste, Other Backward Castes and other.

Hello Uanfala. You recently reverted changes made by me. I am a speaker of Himachali dialects (Kahluri in particular).
My first issue with this whole page is the usage of terminology. Today, Himachal is a state which includes languages of both Indo-Aryan as well as Sino-Tibetan roots. Whenever you make a simple google search, this article pops up first, and shows only part of languages of Himachal Pradesh and includes languages which are rather indigenous to the neighbouring state. This leads a incomplete sharing of the actual ground level truth. You say this page is linguistically defined but are very easily using geographical terms. I therefore request you to not to use the term "Himachali Languages" (even though it is termed in this manner on Glottolog), and strictly stick with the term Western Pahari. If you don't agree with this, I can't make sense out of the fact that how come, Jaunsari, Bhaderwahi and Dogri becomes Himachali Languages and Lohar, Chinalbashe ,etc. are not, in today's context.
Urdu script was used and still used in small scale to write, by the common populace, because it was taught to them in school. As for the matter of fact, almost all Himachali dialects are oral, so it doesn't makes much sense to ask for sufficient official document which were written in these scripts. People in 1960s, 1970s have learned Urdu script, Devanagari script and therefore, both these scripts are used. Besides, there is a sizeable Muslim population in Chamba, who too use urdu script. About roman script, for obvious reason today's generation use it and I don't think one needs a whole glottolog or research paper to prove this. As a matter of fact I personally use it and I know a lot many other Himachali people who use it. Coming to Brahmi Script, I can agree that it won't make sense to talk about Pahari languages then. But I can't make sense that you have reverted it for Kashmiri Sharda Script, when Tankri and Devashesh Scripts are derived form it. Devashesh Script was used mostly by the priestly class and can be seen in temples along with Tankri script. You will find a huge variety in Tankri script throughout Himachal Pradesh, but only end up talking about the Chambeali standard. The Kaulantak Peeth still use Devashesh and Tankri today.
The reason I had included Bagali and Baghati (Lower Mahasu), is that they are significantly different from the Upper Mahasu dialects. You have condensed both of them, when they shouldn't have been done so, because then you can condense other Himachali dialects the way you want to. Therefore, I request you to keep them separate, as they are separate in Glottolog too.
You say that PLSI is not a reliable source. Can you explain me why is this so? Because if this is so, you mean to say I can't include the folktales or stories mentioned in this book, in corresponding wiki pages? I have personally gone through the book, and I can say that it records these dialects pretty well.
At the end, thanks for giving more structure to the list of dialects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nik9hil ( talk • contribs) 10:40, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Not sure my technical objection requires a formal move discussion, but it wouldn't hurt when you're changing the meaning of a widely-used article (now redirect after a move) that may well be linked from places you have no control over. In my case, Rigel is in the middle of a featured article review and doesn't need its wikilinks turning funny colours just when things are looking good. Also, on a technical level, if Lacandon is to be a redirect to a dab page instead of a primary topic (or primary topic redirect), it should actually be a dab page and Lacandon (disambiguation) should be a redirect to it. I'd be tempted to leave it alone, but that's just me. Lithopsian ( talk) 16:36, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
[[Lacandon]] people
to [[Lacandon people]]
(which I already did after you complained about me breaking your article). However, attempting to "fix" the link by changing the redirect did create a problem as the articles concerned were already geared for the absence of a primary topic: when you retargeted
Lacandon to
Lacandon people, you suddenly made the disambiguation page (and the articles listed there) inaccessible to readers searching for "Lacandon". I've fixed that by adding a hatnote
[4] (which I'll need to remove after the articles are eventually moved). Generally, when changing the target of a redirect you should be mindful of the existing navigational pathways that may get broken in the process. –

Hi Uanfala, hope you’re well - especially during these times.
I don’t have any problem with the redirect itself or even the name, not to mention the amount of redirects with the word occupied for both Indian Kashmir and Pakistani Kashmir. My main concern is the fact that this name has taken place of the actual name for the Pakistan-Administered Kashmir known as Azad Kashmir on some devices. I’m not sure the best way to share images on this but if you have an iOS device you and search Azad Kashmir on Safari or use Siri, it returns Pakistan Occupied Kashmir and only does this for Azad Kashmir. I wasn’t sure what caused this but I’m pretty certain now it’s because of this redirect. That’s my only reason for the deletion of this redirect. Taimoorahmed11 ( talk) 17:17, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

@ Uanfala, Fylindfotberserk, and Austronesier: I am going to create an LTA page for sami. Can someone help me to list the ranges in the discussion above (39.51.*, 119.157.*, 182.190.*, 119.159.*, 119.153.*, 43.246.*, 182.183.*, 168.211.*, 196.195.*, 117.102.*) as they are in the infobox here (in the CIDR format).

Uanfala and @ Fylindfotberserk: I have created the LTA page for sami, here: WP:LTA/SAMI. Feel free to add anything you think should be there or I have missed. Just cite the LTA when reverting him. I also ask you to be extra vigilant especially now, its COVID-19 and our puppeteer has all the time in the world (with most countries on lockdown including PK). @ Uanfala: Can you take a look at Rekhta and take care of the socking there.

@ Austronesier: It really is, I usually wait for the accounts/IPs to get blocked after submitting an SPI but the disruption continues unabated in that timeframe and it gets hard to ignore. All language article listed in the Central Indo-Aryan languages are targeted by this puppeteer, including articles related to Urdu and Hindi: Dakhini, Old Hindi etc. If you can watchlist these it would be great.

Hi Uanfala! FYI, unrelated to this but the same kind of problem: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/WorldCreaterFighter – Austronesier ( talk) 12:55, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
I appreciate your rationale for changing the cleanup tags to {{ cn}} and I understand why you think it unnecessary to put cleanup tags on a short article, but I do think they can be appropriate for short articles in some cases; I don't feel strongly enough to revert, but I did want to explain myself. In this case, Dehwar is a short article, but it has been around for more than 10 years, has been longer quite longer than one sentence, and has included references (though they were evidently unreliable). While I did want to note that the page was unsourced, I moreso thought it deserved {{ sources exist}} to appropriately reflect that both you (based on your edit summary) and I (based on a Google books search prompted by your edit summary) had verified that this subject had sources and found the subject potentially notable. I do not feel that I know enough about the sources to validate the subject, but the tag was intended to prompt cleanup that would prevent it from being nominated for AfD, not to indicate that I thought it should be deleted. — Ost ( talk) 16:11, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi Uanfala! I want to create a stub about Ende, an Austronesian languages spoken in Flores, Indonesia. Currently, Ende language is a dab. The first entry is a pretty uncommon (I won't say "spurious" again) alt name for the "Sumba–Flores" (or "Flores–Sumba" or "Flores–Sumba–Hawu") subgroup. A simple redirect would suffice, no idea why it is in the dab.
The second entry is "my" Ende. Currently, it redirects to Li'o language, but in all modern sources, it is treated as a distinct language (including in the dear old aunties Ethnololgue and Glottolog). ISO 639-3 is [end].
The third entry is Agob language, which is a redirect to the Agob languages in PNG. In Ethnologue and Glottog, Ende is considered of variant of the Agob language.
Before I create a mess with redirects and the dab, I'd better ask before you have to clean it up: my idea is to kick out the first entry (back to straight redirect), create a new stub Ende language (Indonesia) and a new redirect Ende language (Papua New Guinea)→ Agob languages. The dab will then be:
Ende may refer to the following languages:
In spite of the different ISO status, I prefer to treat the two Ende-s equally. What do you think? – Austronesier ( talk) 14:43, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Unafala. You recently reverted the page Hindi (disambiguation). Notice, though, that the page is a disambiguation page and not an article. Therefore, it should not contain maps, detailed descriptions, or other information of that sort. A disambiguation page should contain only a list of bulleted links to things called (in this instance) Hindi. See MOS:DAB for the manual of style. If there are, as you say, "actually legitimate entries", please add them. But also, please remove all the material that is not related to disambiguation. Happy editing, Cnilep ( talk) 05:22, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
Bonjour, Unafala. Thanks for your comment on my draft about “Brazilian numbers”. Excuse my English that is not my native language.
1) I was really surprised to read that Sulfurboy on February 27 does not accept my draft about “Brazilian Number“ because ”This submission provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter". !!!!
2) Today, I see that my submission on “Brazilian Numbers" has been created on March 1, very big thanks...
3)… but this article has been put in “Repdigit” article.
4) I really think that this article merits to have its own article. Why?
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nombre_br%C3%A9silien
Hence, please, only one question, why don't you create a Brazilian number article independent as in French Wikipédia? There is no sens to put this structured article of 102 lines at the end of the repdigit article of only 7 lines...
Merci for your answer.
Best regards.

Hi,
I see you have some interest in this, so I thought I'd solicit your input before I go ahead with this.
As you've probably seen, I've modified the entry for Coronavirus on the Corona dab page, to follow Wikipedia style guidelines as well as include useful/germane entries related to the increased use of "corona" as shorthand for outbreak-related topics.
In doing so I noticed a couple of things:
and...
There's an easy fix for this, I think. What is actually called for is a "coronavirus" disambiguation page. That's what's become an overlaid term that refers to the virus, the specific virus strain, the disease it causes, and the outbreak of that disease. "Corona" is a shorthand abbreviation for that blurry term, but it's not used as often as "coronavirus".
The "Corona" dab page can then simply refer to this:
See also
...and its existence will simplify the Coronavirus hatnote:
Thoughts? I've already created the disambiguation page, as that seems like a non-controversial step in any event.-- NapoliRoma ( talk) 20:37, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello Uanfala. You recently reverted changes made by me. I am a speaker of Himachali dialects (Kahluri in particular).
My first issue with this whole page is the usage of terminology. Today, Himachal is a state which includes languages of both Indo-Aryan as well as Sino-Tibetan roots. Whenever you make a simple google search, this article pops up first, and shows only part of languages of Himachal Pradesh and includes languages which are rather indigenous to the neighbouring state. This leads a incomplete sharing of the actual ground level truth. You say this page is linguistically defined but are very easily using geographical terms. I therefore request you to not to use the term "Himachali Languages" (even though it is termed in this manner on Glottolog), and strictly stick with the term Western Pahari. If you don't agree with this, I can't make sense out of the fact that how come, Jaunsari, Bhaderwahi and Dogri becomes Himachali Languages and Lohar, Chinalbashe ,etc. are not, in today's context.
Urdu script was used and still used in small scale to write, by the common populace, because it was taught to them in school. As for the matter of fact, almost all Himachali dialects are oral, so it doesn't makes much sense to ask for sufficient official document which were written in these scripts. People in 1960s, 1970s have learned Urdu script, Devanagari script and therefore, both these scripts are used. Besides, there is a sizeable Muslim population in Chamba, who too use urdu script. About roman script, for obvious reason today's generation use it and I don't think one needs a whole glottolog or research paper to prove this. As a matter of fact I personally use it and I know a lot many other Himachali people who use it. Coming to Brahmi Script, I can agree that it won't make sense to talk about Pahari languages then. But I can't make sense that you have reverted it for Kashmiri Sharda Script, when Tankri and Devashesh Scripts are derived form it. Devashesh Script was used mostly by the priestly class and can be seen in temples along with Tankri script. You will find a huge variety in Tankri script throughout Himachal Pradesh, but only end up talking about the Chambeali standard. The Kaulantak Peeth still use Devashesh and Tankri today.
The reason I had included Bagali and Baghati (Lower Mahasu), is that they are significantly different from the Upper Mahasu dialects. You have condensed both of them, when they shouldn't have been done so, because then you can condense other Himachali dialects the way you want to. Therefore, I request you to keep them separate, as they are separate in Glottolog too.
You say that PLSI is not a reliable source. Can you explain me why is this so? Because if this is so, you mean to say I can't include the folktales or stories mentioned in this book, in corresponding wiki pages? I have personally gone through the book, and I can say that it records these dialects pretty well.
At the end, thanks for giving more structure to the list of dialects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nik9hil ( talk • contribs) 10:40, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Not sure my technical objection requires a formal move discussion, but it wouldn't hurt when you're changing the meaning of a widely-used article (now redirect after a move) that may well be linked from places you have no control over. In my case, Rigel is in the middle of a featured article review and doesn't need its wikilinks turning funny colours just when things are looking good. Also, on a technical level, if Lacandon is to be a redirect to a dab page instead of a primary topic (or primary topic redirect), it should actually be a dab page and Lacandon (disambiguation) should be a redirect to it. I'd be tempted to leave it alone, but that's just me. Lithopsian ( talk) 16:36, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
[[Lacandon]] people
to [[Lacandon people]]
(which I already did after you complained about me breaking your article). However, attempting to "fix" the link by changing the redirect did create a problem as the articles concerned were already geared for the absence of a primary topic: when you retargeted
Lacandon to
Lacandon people, you suddenly made the disambiguation page (and the articles listed there) inaccessible to readers searching for "Lacandon". I've fixed that by adding a hatnote
[4] (which I'll need to remove after the articles are eventually moved). Generally, when changing the target of a redirect you should be mindful of the existing navigational pathways that may get broken in the process. –

Hi Uanfala, hope you’re well - especially during these times.
I don’t have any problem with the redirect itself or even the name, not to mention the amount of redirects with the word occupied for both Indian Kashmir and Pakistani Kashmir. My main concern is the fact that this name has taken place of the actual name for the Pakistan-Administered Kashmir known as Azad Kashmir on some devices. I’m not sure the best way to share images on this but if you have an iOS device you and search Azad Kashmir on Safari or use Siri, it returns Pakistan Occupied Kashmir and only does this for Azad Kashmir. I wasn’t sure what caused this but I’m pretty certain now it’s because of this redirect. That’s my only reason for the deletion of this redirect. Taimoorahmed11 ( talk) 17:17, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
