Loving all your good work on South Asian history! It's a sorely neglected area and I'm very grateful to see someone with knowledge of the subject taking it up. — Moriwen (talk) 14:09, 13 March 2024 (UTC) |

Hey
[edit]Hello
I have slowly started returning to Wikipedia and looking back at m past edits. I just wanted to say that I'm sorry if I ever before was overall aggressive, or rude, or just being a jerk. I, like anyone else, have my own biases and sometimes get overly heated on matters. I hope I never was that bad with you, but I feel as if I was at least, putting it generously for myself, irrational with you. So sorry if I ever was.
Wish you the best :) CanadianSingh1469 (talk) 21:13, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- @CanadianSingh1469: No worries, we all make mistakes, I've definitely made my fair share of them. Good luck in your future editing endeavours. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 21:23, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. You too :) CanadianSingh1469 (talk) 04:40, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Despite facing large adversity especially in the past specifically from Haughtonbrits Sockpuppets, you've persisted in your editing to help make Wikipedia a greater place, keep up the great work! Noorullah (talk) 06:39, 11 May 2024 (UTC) |
- Thanks @Noorullah21, let's see what happens next with the SPI. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 00:47, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Do not delete content, including sources, from an article while it is undergoing the AfD process. Let the facts speak for themselves. Such deletions could be viewed as vandalism, gaming the system, or other unseemly conduct, which is prohibited. That is probably not what you had in mind, but such actions could be construed as trying to make the article appear to fit your delete !vote instead of actions meant to improve it. Incidentally, how did the earlier AfD for that same article wind up being the first thing you edited here after creating your talk page? Doczilla Ohhhhhh, no! 06:22, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
Check out this user, User:Normstahlie made just a day ago and began editing on the Mahmud of Ghazni page after I removed poorly sourced content. Seems like a certain someone we might know, thoughts? They even edited pages immediately like the Ghurid invasion of Bengal.

- Hey @Noorullah21, truth be told, I really don't know much at all about Afghan history or the subject matter at hand (Ghazni) so I don't think I'd be able to weigh in here. From what I know about who I think you're referring to, his primary goal is to aggrandize the Sikhs and highlight their victories against Afghans, and I've also seen him aggrandize the British in Anglo-Afghan conflicts, but he also seems to harbour a similar amount of disdain for non-Sikh Indian groups (Rajputs, Marathas) so I don't think HB would make an edit like this-[4]. But in all honesty, I really don't have much knowledge on medieval era Indian/Afghan warfare. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 15:23, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Fair, just seeing your input on it. Noorullah (talk) 15:32, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
