Viceroy in relation to Secretary of State (Amery, Linlithgow, Wavell)
- Which had more power/influence in WWII? What was their relationship on an organizational chart, so to speak; what was their formal relationship to each other, and to the Churchill war ministry? What spheres of politics/life were their particular domains? Here I mean Leo Amery, Viceroy Linlithgow and later Viceroy Wavell. Thanks in advance. Lingzhi ♦ (talk) 02:21, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
Request for help
I have recently posted a request for a new photograph on Wikimedia Commons. I would appreciate it if any members of this project who are located in Bihar would take a look at this request and see if they are able to help. Regards Exemplo347 (talk) 11:00, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
Dhangar
Need eyes on this: Dhangar. The usual "everyone from Chandragupta to Shivaji belonged to my caste" cruft. A user is restoring a previous version of the article without addressing any of the issues for which the content was removed. utcursch | talk 15:53, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
- Looks like someone beat me to it. Ugog Nizdast (talk) 14:28, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
Please see Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2016_December_22#Chaaval. It could use some input from someone fluent in Hindi/Urdu and who perhaps better understands the context of the word. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 05:47, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
About "Aaryans World School"
Hi all,
I have just deleted this article under the WP:G2 speedy deletion criterion, and blocked Aaryans World School (talk · contribs) for obvious username problems.
That said, should here be an article about this school or purported K-12 school network?
Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 10:29, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
- Maybe. A quick search shows some mentions in news reports so notability isn't dubious as such. Personally, I wouldn't vouch for it but it'll survive basic community scrutiny like shown in WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. Ugog Nizdast (talk) 06:11, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
Just created a new article, appreciate if you guys could take a look at it.
Hi, just created Oinwar dynasty, would appreciate if you guys could look over it and check for any mistakes and add relevant categories. Thanks.Damien2016 (talk) 10:10, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

Strange "peer-reviewed" article
Here is a journal article [1] that got cited in Varna (Hinduism). The article appeared in International Research Journal of Social Sciences, which is apparently published by International Science Congress Association (now named, International Science Community Association). Just the abstract gives us a pretty good idea what this paper is about. The paper was written by a Mechanical Engineer, and it was peer-reviewed and published in under 2 months. Funnily, the citations include a paper by somebody called "Wikipedia" written in 1926! -- Kautilya3 (talk) 19:52, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, I notice that the Xlinkbot already rejected it. But the guy is persisting. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 20:01, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
- What a glaring mistake, really can't figure out how they made that or what they were trying to put. XLinkbot has a blacklist to my knowledge but I couldn't find the logs where or when this site was added. Sadly, in our country, any group with the word "science" in them raises many redflags.

RfC on Sati
I have started an RfC on the talk page of Sati. Please comment on it if the topic is of interest to you. Soham321 (talk) 04:13, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
Swami Nithyananda BLP issues
Can someone have a look at this article (see this section) and help with the content. I see a lot of editors who seem to have some sort of a conflict of interest. This could benefit from inputs by established editors. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 05:26, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
- @Lemongirl942: I echo your concerns and you've acted on the safe side by reverting which is good but to my knowledge, his accusations pass WP:WELLKNOWN. A quick search, shows even some international coverage, "Indian guru Nithyananda is rearrested after being bailed" from BBC. An almost good sign it's relevant and passes it is that he was arrested and bailed. I'm reluctant to join in the article as I can't promise any legwork beyond such occasional input but let me know if I can be of any help regarding presenting it. A related article would be Asaram where something like this happened a long time ago--it's not currently in the best of condition but there's a decent balance on his accusations given that majority of sources talk only about that.
