Working on article on Durga puja
Greetings! I have been working on the article on Durga Puja for the past few days. It would be of great help if you could provide with respective inputs to improve the article. --Tamravidhir (talk) 03:29, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
Template:Infobox Tirthankara Hi, I just translated the template probably created by User:जैन on Hindi Wikipedia in English. As current template is not accurate enough for Tirthankara articles.

DYK Harshat Mata Temple?
Hallo, Thank you for expanding and editing the Harshat Mata Temple article. Do you think you could nominate it for a WP:DYKNA? It would be nice to build up the Chand Baori article as well. Gryffindor (talk) 21:01, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Gryffindor: I just removed the stub tag from the article, and it seems to meet the DYK criteria of 'New' and 'Long Enough'. Some sentences are unsourced, but we can find sources for them (or replace them). Do you have a hook in mind? utcursch | talk 14:05, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
- How about "dyk the Harshat Mata Temple is located next to the Chand Baori in the village of Abhaneri, Rajasthan?" or "it is theorized that it was constructed under the rule of the Chahamanas of Shakambhari?" or something like that? Gryffindor (talk) 10:09, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
- The reviewers generally ask for something more interesting. I'll try to come up with something. Maybe "DYK ... is more than a thousand years old?" utcursch | talk 14:07, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello Utcursch, and thank you for nominating Harshat Mata Temple. The nomination was reviewed earlier this month, and some issues need to be addressed before the nomination has been approved. However, there has been no response from you since then, despite an earlier ping. Are you still interested in pursuing the nomination and resolving the reviewer's concerns? If yes, a prompt response would be appreciated, otherwise the nomination may be marked for closure as abandoned if no replies are given within a reasonable timeframe. Thank you and happy editing.

Mahabharata
Hi, please take a look at this Mahabharata page, it's been a victim of often number of edits in past few days. Thanks. HinduKshatrana (talk) 12:42, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi, Utcursch I would like to clarify the issue regarding Mahabharata page raised by HinduKshatrana since I am the editor who made a few edits on the page today (not before).
There are different versions related to the participation of the warrior Karna in the contest that was conducted in the self-choice ceremony of Draupadi in the canonical texts of Hindu mythological epic Mahabharata.
One popular version states, Karna was rejected by Draupadi. Other version states there was no rejection( he failed at the contest along with others). Reference to the failure version has been provided in Arjuna wiki as well (Reference no. 8). The Critical Edition of Mahabharata by Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute has identified the former version (rejection) as a later interpolation into the text of the epic. Before today, only the rejection version was mentioned in Mahabharata wiki page. I thought it is only fair to mention both variations of an important incident.
This is why, today, I reworded the part "Marriage to Draupadi" in Mahabharata wiki page and added both variations of the incident (rejection and no-rejection) along with references to a blog article explaining the variations in detail and link to official website of [Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute]. However, user HinduKshatrana reverted back my edits multiple times citing my sources and info as unreliable.
I genuinely appreciate HinduKshatrana's concern about vandalism. However, reverting back sourced information can be done with some caution. Please help us resolve this issue peacefully. All I want is for readers of Wiki to know both variations of the incident from canonical sources, and not just one (rejection).
(Panchalidraupadi (talk) 13:29, 31 October 2019 (UTC))
- I'm glad to see this editor here, but I don't see how [1] Ref 8is a reliable source for the bit about interpolation. I reverted User:Panchalidraupadi as neither the Sanskrit version in ref 8 nor the blog they used are reliable texts. However, the Critical Edition mentioned may well be. I agree with the intention, just not the method or sources. Doug Weller talk 14:51, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
Thank you Doug for texting me here.
I'd iterate what I said in your talk page. The current content in the Synopsis of the Mahabharata page is outdated, and needs to be corrected. But going by Wiki policies, it is becoming difficult to do so. This is because, the Critical Edition of Mahabharata is available in public domain only in Sanskrit at this point, not in English. The link privided to the Sanskrit Mahabharata in my edits was precisely the link to that scene from Sanskrit Critical Edition (CE). And some of the research papers related to CE are available in https://archives.org in pdf format.
Below, I have provided citation from an academic paper named "Interpolations from the Mahabharata" by M.A. Mehendale. It is a paper published in the journal "Annals of BORI" of Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute. You can scroll down and read about Draupadi's svayamvara in the free text. It explains that the popular sequence of Draupadi objecting to marry Karna (spelled as Kama in the text format) has been identified as later addition. Link: https://archive.org/stream/InterpolationsInTheMahabharata/INTERPOLATIONS%20In%20The%20Mahabharata_djvu.txt (There are a few spelling mistakes, and mixing of Footnotes with the running text in the free text format, but the pdf format of the paper has everything right.)
Please clarify if this qualifies as an academic source.
(Panchalidraupadi (talk) 15:28, 31 October 2019 (UTC))
- @Panchalidraupadi: Please continue this discussion on Talk:Mahabharata. M. A. Mehendale's Interpolations in the Mahabharata is an acceptable source. When in doubt about a source's reliability, you can initiate a discussion at WP:RSN. utcursch | talk 18:24, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Utcursch: Thank you very much for your reply, and clarifying the authenticity of the source.
@Doug Weller: Please see above. I might need yours or any other admin's intervention to add my edits with the acceptable sources in Mahabharata page, in case any user reverts my changes.
For any further discussion, we may communicate on Talk:Mahabharata.

- A request for comment asks whether partial blocks should be enabled on the English Wikipedia. If enabled, this functionality would allow administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces, rather than the entire site.
- A proposal asks whether admins who don't use their tools for a significant period of time (e.g. five years) should have the toolset procedurally removed.
- Following a successful RfC, a whitelist is now available for users whose redirects will be autopatrolled by a bot, removing them from the new pages patrol queue. Admins can add such users to Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist after a discussion following the guidelines at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist.

- @Vm1207: I agree with Espresso Addict's comments. I'd recommend formatting bare URLs using {{cite news}} template. Also, the "currently the head of Neurosurgery at Hinduja Hospitals" sentence doesn't need so many citations. See WP:CITEOVERKILL. The subject seems notable enough -- once you address these issues, the article is bound to get approved for creation. utcursch | talk 18:14, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

- @Princesse Angelica: Anyone could claim that they are descendant of a royal family. Wikipedia requires a reliable source for such claims - family traditions are not acceptable sources. utcursch | talk 18:15, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

- @Princesse Angelica: Please see WP:RS: Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published sources. If historian Lafon has published an article supporting these claims in a peer-reviewed journal or a book by a reputed publisher, these claims can be included in the article. "Clarifying" these claims over a call or talking to a historian are of no use here. utcursch | talk 20:03, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

Interface administrator changes

- Following a request for comment, partial blocks are now enabled on the English Wikipedia. This functionality allows administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces rather than the entire site. A draft policy is being workshopped at Wikipedia:Partial blocks.
- The request for comment seeking the community's sentiment for a binding desysop procedure closed with
wide-spread support for an alternative desysoping procedure based on community input
. No proposed process received consensus.
- Twinkle now supports partial blocking. There is a small checkbox that toggles the "partial" status for both blocks and templating. There is currently one template: {{uw-pblock}}.
- When trying to move a page, if the target title already exists then a warning message is shown. The warning message will now include a link to the target title. [2]
- Following a recent arbitration case, the Arbitration Committee reminded administrators
that checkuser and oversight blocks must not be reversed or modified without prior consultation with the checkuser or oversighter who placed the block, the respective functionary team, or the Arbitration Committee.

- You don't need to send any information to me. You just need to cite reliable sources for the content you are adding. A Google search for "Jatkalal" throws up instagram posts etc. which are not acceptable sources. Also, please do not remove existing sourced content from the article. utcursch | talk 21:08, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
