Near side or far side

@Rowan Forest: I added far side at that time as I strongly remembered I had read it from multiple sources. When you changed it, I rushed to quote them but didn't find any mention of near or far side of moon. So, I didn't revert it. Here, I got one again. India sends unmanned mission to Moon’s far side If even you aren't sure, I'm wondering if @Ohsin: could help us confirm whether it's landing on near side or far side of the moon.Aman.kumar.goel (talk) 19:08, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Aman.kumar.goel: please refer Chandrayaan-2 artical. It is written that it will land on near side of the moon with refrence.Geological Insights into Chandrayaan-2 Landing Site in the Southern High Latitudes of the Moon. I didn't go through this refrence. Please have a look. Brown Chocolate (talk) 19:29, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Aman.kumar.goel: Hello, and thank you for using the talk page instead of resorting to endless reverts. I am aware that some media / reporters have published that the landing would take place on the far side of the Moon. Some have correctly published that it will be on the near side. Having that contradiction, we resort to the primary source: ISRO:

"The following criteria were used to final landing site selection for safe landing.  Slope less than 15 deg.  Boulders less than 0.5 meter.  Crater and boulder distribution.  Sunlit for at least 14 days.  Visible to Earth for Radio communication (i.e. on the near side).  Local terrain features such that they don’t shadow the site for long durations."^[1]

Also, if you plot the official landing coordenates given, you will see they fall within the near side. In addition, it is known the LZ is close to the Manzinus (crater) and if you read that article, it states it is on the near side. I think this should settle the confusion, even for the media :-) Cheers, Rowan Forest (talk) 19:33, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 11 April 2023

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Withdrawn. Soni (talk) 10:58, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pragyan (rover) → Pragyan – As noted on Talk:Pragyan_(festival)#Moving_to_Pragyan_(festival), this page is significantly more notable in WP:RS and is more likely to be the commonly used name for Pragyan than Pragyan (festival). Page views supports the same.

So asking for a move to Pragyan as I cannot complete the move myself. Soni (talk) 22:06, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose "Pragyan is the higher learning—the science of controlling the inner feelings and consciousness." Thus one can see Education should provide Vigyan and Pragyan; one can add Sanghikagyan or awareness of social ills and their cure." needs to be a dab page. Neither the rover nor festival are WP:PT in GBooks. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:07, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In ictu oculi Thank you for making the page a WP:DAB page, that is a better solution than the one I considered. I withdraw my RM now that we have the disambiguation page. Soni (talk) 10:58, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
