Regarding Raj in saraswat

Hi @RegentsPark. Nice,you observed that.Yes that is British Raj source added by someone else.I just highlighted the details of Burton as I knew burton was a British raj officer.I have tagged your name in the talk section of @Arjayay,where this had been discussed and link to the burtons Sindh(1851) has been provided.

Existing WP:Raj source in saraswat page- “According to buton(1851) Saraswat Brahmins originating in Balochistan were called sindhur and were considered a low caste. They have a legend of origin related to Lord Ramachandra, who could not find a priest in Balochistan and applied a Tilaka on the head of some Mleccha”.(Mentioned just in foot note of the judgen not in the main book and the statement is from book sindh(1851)).

Hi @RegentsPark.

Consider this book for a while,

“Cite book |last=Singh |first=Kumar Suresh |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=g9MVAQAAMAAJ |title=People of India: India's communities |date=1998 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=978-0-19-563354-2 |language=en”

In the WP:RAJ link provided by you they have banned this book.I am planning to delete this citation cite-wide before that can you confirm this for me once.Is this the same book mentioned in WP:Raj? RobertJudeson (talk) 06:07, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Please note that you may be blocked for persistent caste promotion and edit warring without consensus in contentious caste articles! Thanks. Ekdalian (talk) 07:26, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Save one page, please

I started one important page on V. Balsara, a composer of Bollywood and Bengali language films. He received many prestigious awards and honours.But it has been removed by someone. Please restore it if possible. The related Bengali language wiki page: here Some articles on him: |1, 2, 3, 4 (no.4 news article by Anandabazar Patrika), 5 A prestigious award named after him.

Wikifulness has posted similar messages to this on the talk pages of 3 administrators. JBW (talk) 16:47, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

@JBW: Similar messages sent only to stress on this fact. A particular message can be sent to multiple editors. It's not a dangerous thing on Wikipedia. I have successfully created many pages here. Okay, no need to revert it.

These are my created articles. Feel free to delete one by one if you wish. @JBW: Sangeet Natak Akademi Award is a prestigious Indian award which was awarded to V. Balsara in 1994. See official website (Govt.) for reference here. If anybody assumes it a biased one, what to do now? Wikifulness (talk) 17:15, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Wikifulness: I took a look at the deleted article at V. Balsara and while the subject is certainly notable, the article's language was overly laudatory and more suitable for a tribute than an encyclopedia. It also was often a close paraphrase of this blog. Did you use an LLM to create the article?

My suggestion would be to start and develop a draft at Draft:V. Balsara based upon reliable sources (not blogs and web-forum posts) and to write it in your own words. Have the article reviewed before trying to move it into mainspace. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 19:36, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

• @Wikifulness: Abecedare's suggestion is a good one. I took a look at the draft and you should remove all superlatives (e.g., renowned). Also, to demonstrate notability, try linking to the articles for the films and particularly the awards (if the articles exist). As written, notability does not stand out.

  @RegentsPark: No, I don't want to work on that anymore. It's done. It has Bengali language wiki page created by another Wikipedian. Thanks... Wikifulness (talk) 06:04, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
