ITBP

ITBP is listed in the Armed Forces page.... it is an armed forced of India under the HM. Therefore that bullet point made sense. DTM (talk) 11:08, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I thought that paramilitary forces don't come under the armed forces (since they are controlled by different ministries). Thanks for correcting me! SignificantPBD (talk) 21:41, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Even I didn't understand this in the beginning until someone showed me the Indian Armed Forces page. DTM (talk) 08:59, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Doctor Strange Nepal filming

As I was saying in my edit summaries, I could not find any other sources backing up the claim by the source you provided that the Chinese government forced a location change to Nepal. Yes, what you linked from the Screen Rant source mentions something along the lines, but they are "putting two and two together" so to speak, when reporting on Cargill's comments about the Ancient One. We can't take Cargill's comments on the character and apply them to the Nepal filming because that's WP:SYNTH. We need that explicit connection, and circling back, I can't find any other sources stating such. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:28, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We have one source which says that the Chinese government forced the change, and an another one which speculates it. I think we can include this along with a "reported" or "speculated" rider. SignificantPBD (talk) 17:44, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Favre1fan93 How about "It has been claimed by some, including George Takei,[1] that the location of the Kamar-Taj was changed from Tibet to Nepal to appease the Chinese government."? SignificantPBD (talk) 17:49, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Turns out that the co-writer of the movie C. Robert Cargill has himself admitted this.[2] I think that we can safely reinsert the comment on both pages now. Thanks for reaching out! SignificantPBD (talk) 17:55, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What was added in and then adjusted by another editor on the film article looks good. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 20:56, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Five Fingers of Tibet

On 13 July 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Five Fingers of Tibet, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Five Fingers of Tibet. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Five Fingers of Tibet), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

September 2020

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Five Fingers of Tibet, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Kautilya3 (talk) 23:47, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kindly check the last section of the article. SignificantPBD (talk) 07:07, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, sorry, I didn't notice that it was the LEAD. Nevertheless, it would be useful to say something about it in the edit summary so that we are aware. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 12:37, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
