A GA made in 2012. Now has multiple unsourced claims that need to be addressed for this article to remain a GA. Onegreatjoke (talk) 17:19, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

This article is a mess right now. I'm gonna try to remove blatantly bad sources and content out of the article. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 12:26, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

CactiStaccingCrane, do you intend to continue? Also pinging potential contributors for their opinions: RegentsPark, Fowler&fowler, Vanamonde93, Kautilya3. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:12, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Use of the word 'dearth' in the cuisine section.

I'm fairly certain dearth is the opposite of the intended meaning. Replace with ' profusion' perhaps. Duncanbadham (talk) 23:17, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

I assume it was the variety of cuisines and have rewritten it accordingly. The citations don't look particularly reliable but, I guess, that's the best we're going to get for cuisines. RegentsPark (comment) 23:53, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello Jagadeesh93! In this edit, you added a reference to a citation named "GSDP". But no such citation exists, so the article generates an error. Are you able to provide a citation for the figure that you entered so that the material can be verified and the error fixed? -- mikeblas (talk) 16:29, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Raj-era sources (historical religious demography

Per my discussion with User:Fowler&fowler.

Original reply on user talk page: Decreeing sourced data is acceptable versus which is not based on one premise is faulty, given the very same Raj-era sources have been used in academia for decades, if not close to a century at this point in time.

There are thousands of papers, journal entries, media articles and other forms of encyclopedic material that reference census data from the Raj-era, many of which are sourced on a plethora of Misplaced Pages articles that either specifically delve into demographic-related topics or have sections that are dedicated to the demographic-related topics.

Proceeding under the premise regarding the the removal of every single mention of these topics, any historical demographic-related note, table, or refrence from the colonial period of South Asia would be required to be purged, not just from Misplaced Pages, but also from all of academia and various media sources as well as anything else which has been published across the public and private spheres since 1947.

This indicates a complete contrast regarding the constant addition of encyclopedic-related data and materials on a free, publically available website such as Misplaced Pages. Rather than proceeding with a complete purge, I would suggest a compromise that would benefit the reader(s): Any page that sources Raj-era censuses should include a disclaimer regarding the contemporary discussion surrounding potential inaccuracies. Any source(s) that can serve as further reading on the subject would also be helpful.

Regarding this page specifically, the censuses of 1951, 1961, and 1971 were also removed in the removal, which to my knowledge are not as controversial as the prior decadal censuses? Van00220 (talk) 14:16, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
