== Edit Request for Audrey truschke ==
== Vandalism - Komati Caste ==


Hi! I am proposing a new edit request for Audrey truschke. This edit will include an author named girish shahane who issued a critique of her work on aurangzeb. This seems like a legitimate edit since the review was published in a reputable indian news outlet called scroll in.
Hi Kautilya,


https://scroll.in/article/856178/aurangzeb-was-a-bigot-not-just-by-our-standards-but-by-those-of-his-predecessors-and-peers
References have been given to every sentence in-spite of this how can you delete the article?


I really don't see why this can't be used as a valid critique even if the critique isn't is a historian. I'm just wondering why criticism has to come from only a historian for it to be valid. Can it not come from a reputable news outlet? Hope to hear from you thanks............... ] (]) 00:29, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
Is this what you want to do with Misplaced Pages a great source of information when references are also given.


:Academic works get academic reviews, published in journals. They get a lot higher weightage than those published in news outlets. History is a very ancient subject dating back to Herodotus and Aristotle. There is a long tradition of how to assess historical data, which scholarly historians follow. Popular historians know nothing about it. -- ] (]) 13:37, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

== Happy holidays! ==
Kautilya, the edits to the article is as per the reference cited and have given comments for every edit mentioning the same. Request you to please check them before removing the edits. As per the edits I have only reinstated what is mentioned as per the references cited. Why is the same being reverted would this not be called edit warring? and rather the privileges of such editors be revoked here? And again why is sourced content being modified here. I have clearly mentioned the reference as well as the reason for the edit in the edit summary for all my edits under the heading "Edit Summary". The reference cites Komatis to be present in Maharashtra and will repaste the same reference that you yourself have sourced and cited (BTW looks deliberate as there is inclusion of minor incidents that reference to riots and other inciteful content between communities which serve no informative purpose here) To further reason, why should any incident involving another community that occurred during the British Era in a particular time limited to George Town which is nothing but a nook and corner incident, even find mention here? and again I have only included only the sourced content from the same reference provided then why is it removed and pasted in bits? as if to incite people or communities further? I checked further and found these to be included by user Kautilya and is of surprise to me here as I didn't expect this from Misplaced Pages editors as I held user Kautilya in good esteem.


{| style="background-color: #fdffe7; border: 1px solid #fceb92;"
Again it clearly mentions riots happened when business contracts alluded Komatis and Balijia Naidus who were first to riot with Beri Chettiars which forced the British to apportion commercial and residential areas of George Town.

Also finally let's not discredit the origins of Gomathi for the alternate origins mentioned by authors during British times and exclude the importance of contemporary authors and keep both of them. Mentioning Gomathi as "one theory" seems to discredit the same, hence I have mentioned both the accepted and alternate theory about British authors during the Raj. I also checked further information and also found that the Author is from the same community and hence it's of obvious credence. Also the same that the word Komati to have its origins in Gomathi is mentioned in government journals which cannot be rubbished away.

: Hi Ghatus, if you understand mathematics a little bit, you would know the idea of "exponential growth," where roughly speaking things double every few years. When you have processes that grow exponentially, the past is a poor indicator of the future. The American public thinks global warming is a myth because they see the past as a predictor of the future. But we produce enough green house gases in 5 years (say) as we did in the entire history of the planet. In India, similarly, there is a reluctance to understand the exponential growth of Hindu nationalism. "We have been ok, so we will be ok." Mathematics says that is false reasoning. We produce as many fanatics in 5 years (say) as we did in the entire history. Nobody knows what will happen. - ] (]) 12:02, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

:Though I myself is born in a Hindu Brahmin family, I consider "rationalism" as my religion. We will have to stop the rise of "UNREASON"- be it of any community. Actually, one communalism feeds the other communialism as they are complement to each other. As a history student, I see the fall of Congress as the result of its compromise on the ideal of "real" pluralism (secularism) and the rise of BJP as a successful exploitation of the contradictions in the "so called Congressi secular narrative of post independent India". To me, today's Hindutva force is a reactionary force - a reaction to post 70's congressi hypocrisy on pluralism. And like all reactionary forces, Hindutva generally focuses on both "racial masculinity" and "patriotic nationalism".

Edit Request for Audrey truschke

Hi! I am proposing a new edit request for Audrey truschke. This edit will include an author named girish shahane who issued a critique of her work on aurangzeb. This seems like a legitimate edit since the review was published in a reputable indian news outlet called scroll in.

https://scroll.in/article/856178/aurangzeb-was-a-bigot-not-just-by-our-standards-but-by-those-of-his-predecessors-and-peers

I really don't see why this can't be used as a valid critique even if the critique isn't is a historian. I'm just wondering why criticism has to come from only a historian for it to be valid. Can it not come from a reputable news outlet? Hope to hear from you thanks............... Ker3243 (talk) 00:29, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Academic works get academic reviews, published in journals. They get a lot higher weightage than those published in news outlets. History is a very ancient subject dating back to Herodotus and Aristotle. There is a long tradition of how to assess historical data, which scholarly historians follow. Popular historians know nothing about it. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:37, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
sir, I wish to connect with you about an topic, how and where can I do so? Virabukkaraya (talk) 16:22, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Hello Virabukkaraya, welcome to Misplaced Pages! There is nothing called "connecting" with each other about a topic on Misplaced Pages. All editors are expected to edit independently. If you need any specific help with anything, you are welcome to ask me here on my talk page. Please start a new section on the talk page rather than extending an existing section. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 17:31, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Okay, I am just unaware as to how a new section can be created. Virabukkaraya (talk) 17:32, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Season's Greetings

Season's Greetings

When he took up his hat to go, he gave one long look round the library. Then he turned ... (and Saxon took advantage of this to wag his way in and join the party), and said, "It's a rare privilege, the free entry of a book chamber like this. I'm hoping ... that you are not insensible of it."

Thank you Jannatulbaqi. Happy holidays to you too! Let us hope that 2025 will be better than this year has been! -- Kautilya3 (talk) 15:44, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

Have a look

Have a look at these changes. Seems POV. Thanks. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:20, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, it is WP:OR and a pretty poor one too. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 12:39, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
Have a look at these changes. Apparently, the user is making a lot of POV changes as of late. I was notified that it is an SP. Regards. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:50, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Regarding a concern

As I see, there is an edit war going on with few pages, I wanted some help in regards to that. Virabukkaraya (talk) 17:34, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

If your edits have been reverted, you should go to the article's talk page and write a message querying it. The people that revert edits are expected to explain their reasons.
If they were not your edits, as a new user, you can stay away from the edit wars. Somebody more experienced will deal with them. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:09, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Okay thank you, it’s just that - I had done a study before on that particular personality, I have seen a lot of mistakes in the article but people are fighting only about one aspect - him being a king or a Raja, one writes Raja and another makes it into Zamindar when there is actual important factual information that is completely incorrect - unattended, which hints, these people don’t care about authenticity but only wars based on their agenda. Virabukkaraya (talk) 18:58, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
You are welcome to make edits to the parts of the page that are not under dispute. Regarding the disputed parts, you can write your comments on the article's talk page, if you can contribute to those aspects.
In any case, which page is it that you are talking about? -- Kautilya3 (talk) 19:41, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Thank you, I am referring to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/Vasireddy_Venkatadri_Nayudu Virabukkaraya (talk) 19:56, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
I don't see any edit wars going on, or at least not visibly. Please feel free to edit it. I will put it on my watch list too. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 20:54, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Its mostly the Raja being switched with Zamindar / King back and forth, I am writing notes with sources to start writing for many things including this, I shall re write the entire thing, but I would request you to somehow get it locked so people don't use it for the own purposes.

Your message

Hello @Kautilya3, I hope this message finds you well. I would like to bring to your attention the need to avoid incorporating current affairs related topics to certain India based articles. Given the frequency of controversies in India, we should refrain from overwhelming our content with a 'Controversy' section based solely on individuals' remarks. I hope this helps. Thank you.-25 CENTS VICTORIOUS  17:12, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree. The controversy was a bit oversized when I came to the topic. It later fizzled out after enough sources were discovered. I am glad for it to be gone. :-) -- Kautilya3 (talk) 20:33, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
