A concern

Original section title was: "Hey why do you believe in terrorist and narcissist prophet muhammad bin abdullah?"

Kutrya jhavnya tujhi aai laa jhavli kafirani Ravan Agnihotri (talk) 10:22, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

• EdJohnston and Bbb23, not sure if there is a link between Crashed greek and this user, but I got this abusive language on my talk page. Words in English are abusive as well as the words after that, which is in another language, where the word "Kutrya" means dog from Google translation search, whereas the second word "Jhavnya" is the F word, "tujhi" means you, "aai" means mother, "Jhavli" means F word as well. Whoever this person is, is abusing in a language called Marathi. It can't be a coincidence that after Crashed greek got blocked, I got this abusive message. MehmoodS (talk) 10:58, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

• Seems unlikely to me that the user, who has had an account since 2017 and almost never edited, is Crashed greek. Why they attacked you, though, I don't know. I've left a warning on their Talk page for the attack. BTW, although Google Translate detects the language as Marathi, it does not give me an English translation. Don't know why.--Bbb23 (talk) 11:48, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

• Bbb23 - I meant by link as maybe they know each other. The language is quite abusive. You can find the translation of the words on this link when I did the search on them . Also this user made the last edit on 22 February 2019 and now all of a sudden, he joins today to abuse me. Confusing.MehmoodS (talk) 11:56, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

• I reworded the section header above to get rid of the personal attack. EdJohnston (talk) 20:40, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Battle of Dewair (1606)

I have restored referenced information concerning the battle of Dewair. An IP felt the need to change referenced information(ie. disruptive editing) in the article and change the result to a "Rajput victory". --Kansas Bear (talk) 18:07, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Good catch. Thank you.MehmoodS (talk) 18:46, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages and copyright

Hello MehmoodS! Your additions to Battle of Sadhaura have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Misplaced Pages, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Misplaced Pages:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Misplaced Pages, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Misplaced Pages. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Misplaced Pages articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Misplaced Pages project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 15:23, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Diannaa Thank you Diannaa for the information. So this citation cannot be used due to copyright issues? I wasn't aware but thank you for bringing forth this information to my attention.MehmoodS (talk) 21:06, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

You can use it as a source of information, but not of text. Everything you add to Misplaced Pages needs to be written in your own words please.— Diannaa (talk) 21:08, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Battle of Ghasera

Your changes has been reverted, you can discuss the same on talk page. The thing is giving number of one of the four parts of army as full strength is problematic because that give reader impression that this is the total strength, while there is source but it is only for part of the army, there is one more and better reliable source which I can share with you, if you understand hindi. It clearly mention this point. Sajaypal007 (talk) 16:08, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

I agree with you that the article has major issues but you shouldn't be removing citation and the information that it supports without going through WP:RSN. You are welcome to revert the changes after you have proven with reliable sources that the numbers are incorrect or that the numbers just mention one set of soldiers. I would like to help you out but recommend making use of proper methods to reach a resolution or concensus.MehmoodS (talk) 16:16, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

See the edit history, I firstly tried putting full info, which was rather too much for the infobox, so it is better to remove the half numbers, and its not removal of source but wrong use of source, you should go through that source again. Sajaypal007 (talk) 16:20, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

yes full info is not recommended in infobox WP:MILMOS#INFOBOX and also I didn't see the info supported with any citation so that becomes irrelevant. Regardless, the current use of removal of source isn't right till proven with a different reliable source which you haven't provided yet and looks like you need time to retrieve them but till you have it handy, I would recommend to not remove existing citation.MehmoodS (talk) 16:28, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

Did you again see the citation that was provided there ? In the "History of Mewat", it is clearly written and I quote, "The north front was led by Jawar Singh, south front by Bakshi Mohan Ram, Sultan Singh and Vir Narain. Balu Ram was asked to be ready for any front. Maharaja Suraj Mal himself with a gun-army of 5000 and artillery led the eastern front..." And about the other source, I didn't say I need time, I said do you understand hindi or not? Sajaypal007 (talk) 17:53, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

How can anyone understand from the source above that the strength of merely whole army was merely 8,000. Nonetheless, Here I am providing one hindi book source that is "Maharaja Surajmal aur unka Yug" by historian Dr PC Chandawat. I am loosely translating what is written on page no 85, "Surajmal consulted with his four generals - Surtiram Gaur, Bharat Singh, Daulatram - and Kriparam Gujar regarding the siege. He handed over the leadership of the front towards the north to Jawahar Singh. Bakshi Mohan Ram and his brothers including Sultan Singh and Veernarayan were appointed in the south direction. Balu Jat was kept ready to render help on any front as required. Surajmal himself walked towards the eastern gate with 5,000 gunners and artillery." Sajaypal007 (talk) 18:01, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
