Reiterating as much for myself as for others that for the next several months I shall be working on three articles, Mandell Creighton, Company rule in India, and History of English grammars. They have been on my backburner far too long. My time for all other activities on Misplaced Pages will be severely restricted.

Indus in Hindi

Hi Fowler. You reverted my edit in Indus river. The source I provided is a Hindi Shabdsagar dictionary entry for “Sindh”, with Indus river as one of the meanings. It seems you misinterpreted the entry as “Sindhu”. Foreverknowledge (talk) 19:24, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

But Sindh is not a meaning in any of the languages that are relevant to the river. Indus does not flow through India for India's official language (Hindi) to apply. It flows through China, Kashmir (a disputed territory in Misplaced Pages's articles) and Pakistan. The Urdu name Darya-e-Sindh is already acknowledged as are the Tibetan and Sanskrit names ("Sindhu"). Fowler&fowler«Talk» 20:37, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
@Fowler&fowler I responded to your comment in the Indus River talk page. Foreverknowledge (talk) 20:53, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

New message to Fowler&fowler

Sorry about that—I get defensive when I shouldn't, naturally. The images are more than fine, and I realized that the longer I looked at it. Remsense ‥ 论 13:29, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

No worries. I do too, and after calming down wonder "What came over me." You on the other hand did it with grace.
I've been meaning to revise the article, but the sources have grown exponentially since 2007; they especially did during COVID-19 when many people, who were all sitting at home, had nothing else to do. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 13:55, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

Hindu kush

Afganistan

Where exactly (or likely) at the Hindu kush did the Indo-Aryans enter India? Did they follow the Balkh-river upstream, through what is now Bamiyan, Charikar, Jalalabad, Kabul, and then the Khyber pass? With other words, wasn't the Kabul-Kandahar line the most likely western border of the Maurya empire, effectively guarding the entrance to India?

Cheetah reintroduction in India

Hi! You have been blindly reverting the edits on Cheetah reintroduction in India after multiple weeks of inactivity on the pretext of WP:ONUS. If you had actually taken time to go through the edits, it would be more clearer of what has actually been changed. What I have done is to move the citations to the body of the article as per WP:LEDE. The points in the lede essentially remains the same apart from minor tense/sentence corrections.

What you have been doing is add all the duplicate citations back to the lede, and add an additional unwanted clutter of images. So, it would be great if you can actually discuss or point out, what exactly your point of contention is, as I do not see any major points of contention here as such from the version you keep on reverting to. Thanks! M (talk) 07:59, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

I wrote the lead that had been in place for quite some time. I did read through your changes. Please take to the talk page. Your edit has too many inaccuracies. Like I said, the WP:ONUS is yours.
Please don't talk to me in edit summaries and then engage in edit warring. If you do it again I will post on the user talk pages of administrators. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 13:13, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
