Hello MPGuy2824,

Thank you for reviewing the page I have created for 75 Medium Regiment (India). I have already provided citations; which include 2 Gallantry awards and 3 Killed in Action. The other citations are on the "Battle of Basantar" page under the section "75 Medium Regiment at the Battle of Basantar" and in continuation under sub-section "75 Medium Regiment in direct support of 16 (Independent) Armoured Brigade", which include 3 Mentioned-in-Dispatches. I have also placed citations for the Regiment on the "Operation Meghdoot" page; para 2 of the section "The Operation - Cause of conflict" has citation for Brig KN Thadani VSM leading a military expedition to the Siachen Glacier and in the section "Aftermath" para 3 for Capt Pratap Singh and the action at Bana Post.

I believe these additions to the main Wikipedia pages on "Battle of Basantar" and "Operation Meghdoot" alongwith the citations have added value to them. I would prefer not to remove this content from the main pages; and overload the page for 75 Medium Regiment (India). Of course, I have provided out-bound links from the 75 Medium Regiment (India) page to these main pages; and inward bound links to the page for 75 Medium Regiment (India) from these main pages. There is also an inward bound link from the Vir Chakra page.

75 Medium Regiment (India) although awarded a Battle Honour "Basantar River" is a military unit, and is unlikely to show up in the news, newspapers, etc. Despite this as and when I am able to find reasonably reliable and verifiable citations/references; I shall suitable update the page.

In view of the above, it is requested that the "additional citations required" box be removed in the interim. Although, I am aware that I just need to remove one line of code; I prefer that you allow me a little space by removing it. After all we are talking about a military unit.

Look forward to an early resolution to this matter.

Regards,

Akash139, per WP:V, any unsourced material can be challenged. Except for the award winners from the Regiment, most of the text is unreferenced. e.g. raising date, first commander, etc. You got the information from somewhere, so you can add that as a reference. You can also search for mentions of the regiment in google books or google scholar. Once you add a few reliable sources, you can remove the maintenance tag yourself. Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:08, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
MPGuy2824,
Thank you for your early response and guidance.
Well, I am in contact with the Regiment and have visited it. In fact, my father commanded the Regiment during the Indo-Pak War 1971 (Op: Cactus Lily) and they were awarded a Battle Honour for the war effort. So, I know the Raising Day, the first Commander, and other related particulars of the regiment. However, none of this is in the public space let alone the internet. Further, the archives of the Defence ministry have not been made public particularly for the wars we have fought. You would find this link of some interest:
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/no-record-of-1962-1965-1971-wars-with-national-archives/articleshow/96502314.cms?from=mdr
In fact, my present effort of creating the Wikipedia page for the Regiment is based of the fact that other Regiments of the Indian Artillery have their pages. I had sent a talk message to Akk7a who has been doing this wonderful job of creating pages for the various Regiments. In my interaction with the present CO, I had told him that online verifiable citations would be needed for this effort; and these I have already provided. The rest I leave to the present and future Operations and their subsequent online verifiability.
Giving due regard to your guidance, I shall check for more online citations. Let's see if I can find more online verifiable citations from reliable sources.
Thank you once again for your guidance; and have a great day.
. Akash139 (talk) 08:51, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
In fact, my father commanded the Regiment during the Indo-Pak War 1971 Given this, you should read WP:COI and follow the instructions there. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 09:17, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello MPGuy2824,
WP:COI. Of course not, this is a good Samaritan action and there is nothing to hide. I would probably request Akk7a and you to keep a watch over the Regiment's page in the long run.
Getting to the point now, I have added 5 more references 2 for the Regiment and 3 Mentioned-in-Dispatches. I have 2 more for Captain Pratap Singh from Twitter and Facebook, but they are the ADG PI condolences and are unlikely to add any value to the page. I have spoken to the CO of the Regiment in this regard. The Regiment would be launching their APO Postal Cover in 2025, then the 5 Commendation Cards would all become citations. But for that we have to wait.
Do review the page again and let me know if I can remove the "Additional Citations Required" box from the top of the page.
Regards,
. Akash139 (talk) 13:01, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
As stated on WP:COI, Determining that someone has a COI is a description of a situation. It is not a judgment about that person's state of mind or integrity. Given this, I'm placing a connected-contributor tag on the article's talk page. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 04:52, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello Again MPGuy2824,
I shall be removing the "Additional Citations Required" box from the top of the Regiment's page. You may review it and let me know if there is anything else I can do to improve the content of the article.
. Akash139 (talk) 14:14, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
Like i said, anyone can remove that, but since there are still facts in the article that need citations, I'll have to add some citation-needed tags. Please try to find sources for them and add them to the article when you can. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 04:40, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
Thank you. I appreciate your guidance and advise. Have updated the Class Composition. For the "citations required", I have asked the CO to check, confirm and let me know. Shall update for these citations once I have the updates. Regards, Akash139 (talk) 07:07, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
Good morning MPGuy2824,
I saw the citation tags you placed on the Regiment's page regarding the "Raised at" and the "first Commanding Officer". I spoke to the present CO regarding this again.
I have updated for the Raised at, from "New Delhi" to "Delhi Cantonment".
It is requested that, if you have these related citations available; kindly suitably update the Regiment's page.
Regards,
. Akash139 (talk) 05:08, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
If I had references for the two facts I would have added them already to the article. I know it doesn't look as good as an article without maintenance tags, but Wikipedia is a work in progress. Somebody in the future could find such references and add them to the article. Even the fact that the regiment was raised at Delhi Cantonment requires a citation. Please add that tag back after the relevant sentence. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 05:11, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
1. I have added a citation for "Raised at New Delhi".
2. I have left the "citation required" tag as is for the "first Commanding Officer".
Request, that you review the Regiment's page again.
. Akash139 (talk) 07:07, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
rejinces.net seems like a blog and wouldn't be considered WP:reliable, but at least it is something. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:14, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
I have order this book, "Indian Army: A Reference Manual" by G Sharma. Of course, I found a Google Books reference; and maybe it will have a citation or two and I can give a page reference. The book should reach me in a few days. Let's see how it goes.

Question from Bumblebirb123 on John Barry Talley (09:22, 25 January 2024)

Hello, I'm not sure what to do specificly it's a bit overwhelming --Bumblebirb123 (talk) 09:22, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

@Bumblebirb123: Welcome to Wikipedia. I looked over some of your edits and they seem good. Ideally you should leave an edit summary for every edit that you do though.
Wikipedia is a huge project and you don't have to figure out everything in one go. Take it slow. If you want you can do WP:TWA, which would help you to get used to editing and collaborating with other editors. Are you interested in a particular subject or geographical area? If so, I can point you to places where you could help improve articles in those areas. Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:29, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Question

Referring to your last answer, is it mandatory to add an edit summary or is it just recommended Bumblebirb123 (talk) 18:55, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

It is frowned upon to not add the edit summary. It enables folks that are looking at edits later to immediately figure out what the editor intended to do. Most of the time you don't need to create long summaries: "ce" for copyedit, typo, or "added a ref" are good enough in those particular situations. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 04:07, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

@Tamang bijaya: Welcome to Wikipedia. I've left you a message on your talk page with a list of links. I suggest that you start with WP:TWA. Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 09:27, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Kya esa kuch ho sakta hai jisse sirf me hi online game win Karu --Kamran11567 (talk) 19:16, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

@Kamran11567: I'm sorry but I don't know how to make sure that only you win in online games. If you are interested in editing Wikipedia, then I've left you a list of links on your talk page. If you are more comfortable editing in Hindi, then the Hindi Wikipedia might be for you. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 02:43, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Want Help

Good day MPGuy2824. Hope you are doing well. I want your help. I want to know what should we do if a person keeps reverting and changing data we enter. there is a person name sherifisin town which is keep reverting my edits for no reason. Instead of cooperating in working on adding election boxes of 859 constituencies(266NA, 297PA, 130PS, 115PK and 51PB) of Pakistan he is continuing to revert my edits for no reason. I even talked to him to stop this but he is still continuing to create disturbance. I want to know What should I do in whis situation. You are also witness that no one did any thing to update these pages of Pakistan. I worked day and night to update them but instead of appreciating or cooperating, he is creating disturbance. Saad Ali Khan Pakistan (talk) 17:23, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Saad, I'm sorry that you are having trouble with one editor. That said, you did the right thing by starting a conversation with them. I've seen their talk page and (at least at first glance) they might have some points. I've subscribed to that discussion so that I'm updated of further developments. Hopefully, both of you are able to come to an agreement. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:53, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
Hey, I also noticed that your state assemblies don't have a "list of constituencies" article. You should start them, I think. you can take a look at List of constituencies of the Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly for an example of the structure. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:55, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi MPGuy2824
All constituencies are added in List of constituencies of Pakistan article. I was thinking of making separate pages. What do you think? single article is better or separate ones like Indian States constituencies articles?
and one more thing. I want to contact you with email. My email is khansaadali609@gmail.com Saad Ali Khan Pakistan (talk) 12:48, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
I was thinking of making separate pages. What do you think? I think it is quite cluttered as a single article. Split off the state lists one at a time, leaving just a link to the new list in the original article.
I want to contact you with email I'd rather not correspond via email, which is why you don't see the "Email this user" link when you are on my user page. I'm happy to chat via Discord if you'd like. I'm usually online there when I'm editing. Hope to see you there. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:12, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
Hi MPGuy2824 I have joined it and how I will contact youu there? Saad Ali Khan Pakistan (talk) 11:03, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
I've left you a friend request there. :-) -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:33, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
Notice

The article B. B. Lal (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Disambiguation page not required (WP:ONEOTHER). Primary topic article has a hatnote to the only other use.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:37, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

@Shhhnotsoloud: Makes sense. Although later we should move B. B. Lal to B. B. Lal (archaeologist) and B. B. Lal (politician) to B. B. Lal given the pageview ratio. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 02:36, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Compression Point

Hi, I've added a few more references to the compression point article, and removed the notability tag, hope that's ok? There's 1000s of possible references.

Declined speedy deletion of Military Engineer Services (Bangladesh)

Disagree with change of redirect target

I specifically made the redirect ISO 3166-2:RU-PER because it's automatically used for some of Wiki's coordinate stuff as a subpart of the ISO 3166-2:RU tag, and if you don't have it would point at nothing. It pointing to the location is worse than nothing. This is how it is for most of the US tags, for example ISO 3166-2:US-TX. Hence my revert. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:57, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Perfectly fine to revert since it is now more consistent with other similar redirects. For my own education, could you point me to resources about how this is used with "Wiki coordinate stuff", as you put it. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:57, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
For the specific article that lead me to make this, here (warning, bit morbid). Clicking on the coordinates in the top right leads you to GeoHack. In the top right of that you see the tag under "region", which clicking takes you to the respective article - the redirect I created. This is set through the region parameter in the coordinate template. With some tags there are specific map resources that are accessed if you use them in the parameter. PARAKANYAA (talk) 06:29, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for the information. I think I get it. Although, it still feels like redirecting to the territory of Perm makes sense. Not gonna be switching it though. Even if the target of ISO_3166-2:RU is right, it might make a little more sense to create an anchor at the list entry of the perm territory and redirecting there. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:04, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
I think it would make sense in other contexts, but given it's mostly used in the navigational way related to country codes, I think it makes the most sense, since the codes are more specific and less known. And yeah I might do an anchor later that's a good suggestion. PARAKANYAA (talk) 03:10, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Draft page " Rampura Dabri" is sourced & links are fixed, so don't need a draft page, publish the page and remove it from draft Saambha (talk) 08:49, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

You should either make it a page about the tehsil OR the village (if there is a single village of that name). Also, if possible you should add a link for the population of the tehsil/village from the official Indian census site. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:54, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

@MPGuy2824 please i do not understand what you mean actually, please elaborate more. I moved the article to Draft namespace @Draft:Xu Ruo Han because I wanted to expand it more before considering if its even qualified to be in the Article namespace. Thisasia (talk) 11:47, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Thisasia, when you moved this article into draftspace, it created a redirect from articlespace to draftspace. Directing our readers to draftspace isn't ideal because it's intended for developing content that isn't ready for articlespace yet. That's why MPGuy2824 nominated this redirect for deletion. For more information, you can check out WP:R2. Just to clarify, nothing has changed for your draft, Draft:Xu Ruo Han. You can continue to improve it as before. – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:29, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
Oww I understood now. Sorry I wasn't aware of that before hence I got no problem if it should be deleted as you highlighted, but what will happen in the future after the drafted article got qualified to be in the same Article namespace? Won't it be a repetitive creation? Thisasia (talk) 12:40, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
Don't worry about it. Whenever you feel like the draft is ready for articlespace, you can move it there without any hesitation. But if you find yourself in a situation where you have a conflict of interest with the subject, it's best to submit it through the AfC process. A reviewer will then give it a thorough look. If they believe it's suitable for articlespace, they'll handle the move for you. – DreamRimmer (talk) 13:04, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
@DreamRimmer Alright thanks very much for the information, very much appreciated. Thisasia (talk) 14:09, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi,

Election Constituency
1967 AGARTALA SADAR I
1967 AGARTALA SADAR II
1967 AGARTALA SADAR II
1967 AGARTALA SADAR III
1967 AGARTALA TOWN
1972 AGARTALA TOWN I
1972 AGARTALA TOWN II
1972 AGARTALA TOWN III

May i Merge and create this AGARTALA SADAR I and AGARTALA TOWN I as Agartala Town I Assembly constituency same will do II and II, AGARTALA TOWN to Agartala Assembly constituency,

check these:

 these both constituencies are separated like north and south in the Election 1967 Tripura Legislative Assembly election. 


IJohnKennady (talk) 14:32, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

The other ones look different from each other, and so you can create new articles for them as they would pass our notability guidelines. I'm not sure about "Agartala Town" v/s "Agartala". You'll have to look at the actual areas covered to see if there is a lot of overlap. I would suspect that they are quite different from each other. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 04:36, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi there, MPGuy2824, and thank you for your review of Christel Riemann-Hanewinckel. I was however rather surprised to see you tagged the article "Rough translation" as it seems to me that the actual quality of translation is high. What reveals it as a translation is above all the number of red links transposed from links in the German version. Alperen is one of our most proficient translators of articles from other language versions of Wikipedia. Over the past six weeks he has created some 90 new articles based on pages in other languages. The quality of the English is in general pretty good but some adaption is usually necessary, particularly in connection with categories, defaultsort and DOB and DOD in the first line of the article. You might consider removing the "rough translation" tag as I don't think those fluent in both languages (like me) could make significant improvements to the quality of the translation. And while I'm here, thank you for your consistently useful work on new pages. I see you are among the most active reviewers. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 09:53, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey Ipigott, it looks like another reviewer added that template. I added the more-refs-needed tag since the only ref currently, leads to a 404 page. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 10:45, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
