IAST Punjabi

Can you check Amrita Pritam's name transliteration is correct or not. Bairagi Ram (talk) 21:11, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

There is no transliteration given on the page. Though if there was one, it should be Amṛtā Prītama. Pur 0 0 (talk) 19:12, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

I am talking about this one Bairagi Ram (talk) 13:17, 10 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
This is called IPA. I'm sorry, but I don't know how to transliterate that. Especially not this one, since I don't know Punjabi alphabet. Pur 0 0 (talk) 13:25, 10 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
No problem....! Thanks Bairagi Ram (talk) 10:19, 11 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Indic Script

edit

Hi, it is regarding recent changes/additions like this. Per WP:NOINDICSCRIPT, we are not supposed to add Indian scripts in article leads and infoboxes. We can have IPA or IAST instead. Please do the needful changes. Thanks. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:37, 11 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

From WP:NOINDICSCRIPT,
This avoidance of Indic scripts only applies to articles that are predominantly India-related and is excluded from, among others, articles about Hinduism, Buddhism, or any of India's neighbouring countries.
One reason Indian scripts are avoided is that there often are too many languages with their own native script, each of which can be original names for a topic. Additionally, there are too often problems with verifiability of the accuracy of the non-English spelling. A third reason is frequent disagreements over which native scripts to include; this led to a resolution to avoid all of them.
Basically IAST/IPA/ISO 15919 are all used when the article is regarding something relevant to India, not Hindi. Punjab Kesari is relevant to Hindi rather than India, as it is a Hindi newspaper. The fact that it happens to be Indian is irrelevant, since it is a company, so it can be used anywhere around the world. Pur 0 0 (talk) 11:41, 12 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
The same logic can be used for film articles, since those can be watched anywhere in the world. But, the film articles are one of the main reasons why this policy was enforced. I believe the native scripts should be removed, transliterations can suffice. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:10, 25 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
I concur with Fylindfotberserk, the newspaper/magazine articles that you've inserted Indic scripts into, are Indian and circulated in India,it makes them predominantly india related as the policy states, you would need to seek consensus from the community if you would like newspaper/magazine articles to be an exception to the rule. Thanks. Ratnahastin (talk) 13:54, 25 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
I didn't know film articles were the reason why it was done. I thought it was done because of names of places and government related articles. Because I would have used the same logic to believe they should have indic scripts as well. Pur 0 0 (talk) 17:37, 25 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of governors of Uttar Pradesh, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page United Provinces. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi! Thanks for the article. I am still confused about the geographic location of the events: the article mentions the rebellion taking place in Rangpur, Bangladesh, but at the same time talks about "British rule in Assam" and Rangpur, Assam was the capital of the Ahom kingdom, and appears to be much closer to the Naga hills. Would it be possible to clarify this point? Thanks a lot! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 15:48, 8 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi.
You're correct. It was in Rangpur, Assam. When I was linking the article, the Rangpur of Assam was not coming in the link, so I thought Rangpur is only in Bangladesh. I have corrected it. Pur 0 0 (talk) 11:04, 10 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
