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)

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)

Came across this draft which seems full of OR and POV. This user is quote active here and has made significant changes. Maybe a old editor with a new ID. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:16, 22 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. Virabukkaraya (talk) 20:56, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Your message

Yes, that sock is WP:DUCK. Chaipau (talk) 16:13, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

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)

Thanks for understanding mate!-25 CENTS VICTORIOUS  12:27, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Inclusion of Insurgency Information

See dude, I do not wish to go on an edit war with you over one article. The only suggestion I had initially was to not discuss insurgency in a page about a separate organisation as much as it goes against the guidelines of WP:UNDUE and WP:COATRACK. However if you feel otherwise kindly carry on. I shall work on other pages trying to improve Misplaced Pages. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 03:15, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

To prevent WP:UNDUE it could have been condensed to:

The term "Western Southeast Asia" (Wesea) is sometimes used to refer to Northeast India, including by some insurgent groups such as the UNLFW, formed in 2015. 🤷‍♂️ it isn’t necessary or fruitful to mention each and every organisation that ever existed in this planet using that nomenclature Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 03:26, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Yes, it will be best for you to move on. It appears that you are strongly attached to the subject, and are unable to deal with it neutrally. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 07:37, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

All my edits have been neutral and I’m not strongly attached to the subject. Perhaps you gotta consider your own POV too. But anyways, whatever I have contribute to the article is done. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 08:45, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
