This page has been mentioned by multiple media organizations:

Pete Hunt (September 22, 2024). "Will Indian Courts Tame Wikipedia?". The Diplomat. Retrieved September 22, 2024. "I would personally hate to see Wikipedia get banned in India," an editor at an India-related noticeboard said.
Apoorva Mandhani (October 30, 2024). "In ANI vs Wikimedia, Round 1 goes to India's tech law. The US firm has taken a beating twice". ThePrint. Retrieved October 30, 2024. "I would personally hate to see Wikipedia get banned in India," an editor at an India-related noticeboard wrote. These noticeboards are public administrative pages where editors can discuss issues related to Wikipedia articles.
Vineet Bhalla (November 5, 2024). "A Delhi High Court case could end up threatening how Wikipedia works in India". Scroll.in. Retrieved November 5, 2024. Indeed, this is what is indicated by public discussions on Wikipedia noticeboards – public forums where editors of the encylopedia discuss issues related to content, policy and site maintenance. "I can't imagine they would reveal any names," wrote one user. "That would set a terrible precedent."

This page is a noticeboard for things particularly relevant to Wikipedians working on articles on India.

IAC: legal threats and intimidation

Comments by Shyamal Bagchi in April 2022 on behalf of India Against Corruption in this public comment at ICANN was full of legal threats, intimidation, and threats of violence, including against representatives of Wikimedia. Who is this person, and do they have the right to portray themselves as a spokesperson for IAC? Should something be added to the IAC article about this?

Draft:Sanskrit epigraphy

Hi, all. I've gone about as far as I am able with Draft:Sanskrit epigraphy, so I leave it to you for improvement. The body of the draft is a copy of Sanskrit#Epigraphy with a lead stuck on top, so when released, the section at Sanskrit § Epigraphy should be chopped down to a summary, with a {{Main}} link in summary style. There are lots of images available at c:Category:Sanskrit inscriptions in India to make a gallery with. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 23:00, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind; I released it. Contributions still welcome. Mathglot (talk) 03:01, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tanks of Bombay

Interesting article but it’s been unsourced and unimproved almost 15 years. Please find and add references. Bearian (talk) 03:43, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Tihawali

The article Tihawali has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced and unimproved almost 15 years. No reliable sources online Google news, newspapers, books, or scholar. Run of the mill, very small village. Not enough information to merge. Can redirect if necessary.

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.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
