Welcome!

Hello, Dympies, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Maratha empire did not conform to Misplaced Pages's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Misplaced Pages articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media.

Maps

Hi. Just because a map exists on commons, it doesn't follow that you can use it here. Misplaced Pages is a reliably sourced encyclopedia and that sourcing policy applies to everything, including maps. --regentspark (comment) 16:18, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

If the map I used doesn't have any major discrepancy, why should it be not used in wiki articles? The 1758 map I am talking about was always there in Maratha Empire article. I don't know how and when it got removed. I just restored that map. The relevance of that map is that it belongs to 1758, the short period when Maratha Empire was at its peak with extent stretching to Pak-Afghan border. If we have some better map for 1758, then we may use it instead. Otherwise, I don't find any major issue with this map. -Dympies (talk) 16:26, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

• Dympies, I have removed your re-addition of the maps. Though your edit-summary said "The present maps also have sources provided" that is not true for File:South Asia 1758 AD.jpg, which has even been tagged with 'A self fabricated hoax map based on 0 sources. Its packed with errors. For example, tt shows empires which didn't even exist at the time.' for over three years. The map is also inconsistent with the second map you added for the empire (in 1759). As for the second map: as far as I can tell, it is a copyright violation and will need to be deleted from Commons. In general, when your edits are reverted, it is a recommended to discuss the issue with the other editors instead of simply repeating the disputed edits; see WP:BRD.

Finally, you added two sources in your recent edits, which is great. But can you check out this guide for properly formatting references and also make sure that the source content exactly matches what it is being cited for (in meaning, not words). Abecedare (talk) 16:32, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Shiv Sena

2 things should be clear to you.

(1) There is no such consensus to not add it there. Discussion is not over at the page you linked.

(2) Whatever may be the final consensus at the end of the discussion need not apply to all pages of wikipedia. Venkat TL (talk) 09:30, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Per Talk:2022 Maharashtra political crisis#Undue and subjective addition, it is clear that you should not be adding this text anywhere on those articles where you had added it. Demand for a new discussion on every single page over same content is nothing more than gaming against consensus for which you have been warned.  Dympies (talk) 09:42, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Kanhaiya lal

Read WP:ONUS. Please stop edit warring to introduce controversial content that violates BLP. This exact line is up for RfC discussion, please wait for consensus to emerge before editing it.

Yono Lite moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Yono Lite, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Misplaced Pages). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Misplaced Pages's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Princely states of Pakistan

Dympies, I am sure you acted in good faith, but with the greatest respect, please do not add a section to this page about Amarkot. It was not “pretty much a state” at the time of the partition of India, it was part of the Thar and Parkar district of the Sind Province of British India. It had no local ruler who had the right to accede to either new dominion, it simply became part of Pakistan as a result of the Indian Independence Act 1947. Moonraker (talk) 20:43, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

I think we need to refer the sources here. Give me some time to look into this. Dympies (talk) 00:33, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
