Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 08:08, 11 February 2018

hi...

this is in response to your comments on topics of history of south asia. during history of china, there had been various dynasties of smaller span like zhou, wa, yin shong, wie dynasties and many dynasties that unified china (like Ming, Quin etc). Even then, all those dynasties are called chinese dynasty. similarly this indian subcontinent was composed of 16 states (called Mahajanapadas), later unified under Chandragupta Maurya, Samudragupta and many more. several times it broke and reunified. but this doesnt mean that "india" or "indian" didnt existed prior to 1947. Since ancient times, this whole subcontinent has been termed "Hindustan" by persian and arabs or "shendu" by chinese, "India" by europeans who came for trade since 1st century AD and "Bharata varsha" (the country of Bharatas(descends of king Bharat) ) by indians himself. from Vishnu Purana (200 AD By Vyasa)

"Uttaram yat samudrashcha himadraishchaiva dakshinam, Varsham tad bharatam nama, bharati yatra santati"

meaning: from Himalayas towards south, and from oceans towards North, the country is called "Bharata", where live the descends of Bharat. India, and Indians have identity since ancient times, Vedas were read all over india, Upanishads, Vedanta, Festivals, Languages that appear different from above, have common indian source from within. Its true that many many times India divided in several small kingdoms, but on many occasions, unified in its full glory not unlike any other country like Rome, china, greece or egypt. the biggest proof is that the terms INDIA, HINDUSTAN and BHARATA, existed long ago the partition of INDIA, used by foreigners as well as indians.

Regarding dates in the infobox.

Hello. I would like to explain the reasons for the deletion of all dates prior to the independence of Pakistan in the infobox. It was not because they are not important dates. It is simply because the infobox is for facts pertaining to Pakistan as a political entity/nation. Prior to becoming a dominion, Pakistan as a nation did not exist as an independent or autonomous political entity. The dates for its conception, as well as other dates prior to independence, should go in the history ep section of the article. Look at India's article as an example. The on,y dates within the infobox pertain to independence. Like Pakistan, the Indian nation was a concept long before it became independent. Despite this, the dates relating to this are within th history section of the article, rather than the infobox. This is so not because they are not important, but because the infobox pertains exclusively to the nation. It wouldn't make sense if the Pakistan article were different.

Hello, I'm Kautilya3. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Brahmagupta, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Misplaced Pages:The 10,000 Challenge and Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Misplaced Pages:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:00, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Disruptive editing

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Template:Z33

Using a self reverted edit as justification for your disruptive editing won't really do any good, there is lack of good faith when you deceptively call correct edit a vandalism. Don't mark such major edits as minor, you making such problematic edits frequently. Lorstaking (talk) 04:14, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Lorstaking Please explain why you are reverting a change that was done in bad faith. Refer to: https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Cradle_of_civilization&type=revision&diff=804829168&oldid=804620625 I UNDID the nonsensical statement which has been discussed a million times across Misplaced Pages. Xinjao (talk) 04:30, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Your own source said "India". And you deliberately misrepresented source after my above warning. You still need further explanation? Given your clear lack of WP:COMPETENCE and the spurious warning you left on talk page of EdwardElric2016, I am more inclined to tell you that you will find yourself blocked anytime soon.
