Attention on Propaganda Articles and misleading edits in List of Rajputs

Hello Sitush The articles Thakur Yugal Kishore Sinha looks like the content uploader 'Prabhatmishra1985' (who has been blocked earlier) is running a propagandist agenda and presenting mostly hoax and over exaggerated facts in disguise of some real facts.He has inserted the names of son and grandson of Thakur Yugal Kishore Sinha & Ram Dulari Sinha in many places including the top slot of the wiki page political families of Bihar. How can a couple's children who have never ever been a legislator,parliamentarian or held any constitutional office or had any political relevance be forcefully presented as 'important political personalities of Bihar'? Is it a place to promote or falsely portray individuals?

Secondly, In the page political families of Bihar,there are seasoned families whose several generations of leaders have held highest constitutional offices in India/bihar and there are families producing several ministers and Chief Ministers;how come the couple of Thakur Yugal Kishore Sinha & Ram Dulari Sinha be considered a 'political dynasty or family of Bihar' when after the couple none of their children or grand child ever won any election in state or held any important constitutional office or in short never got the people's mandate.

Also, the user 'Prabhatmishra1985' has strangely added the couple in the FIRST place of the national 'List of Rajputs'- 'Politicians of India'. He has removed much much important historic,political and constitutional personalities of India belonging to Rajput Caste and inserted Thakur Yugal Kishore Sinha at the TOP of list who was only a one time MP and .If his his wife Ram Dulari Sinha (Who may be included as she held post of a Governor) is included then why not other Rajputs who have held the office of Governor of several states and some who became Governors & CMs many times?. There are hundreds of prominent Rajputs who have been MPs and members of first Lok Sabha of India and there are some who even have been CMs, Governors and central ministers,then how come only Thakur Yugal Kishore Sinha who doesn't qualify to be placed at the 'Top' is allowed there?Kindly ensure only content backed by realistic sources and genuine importance are uploaded.

Neutral parties on Bengal famine of 1943?

Hello Sitush.

I have no recollection at all how I started working on Bengal famine of 1943. I grew up in suburban US in a rural state, and all of my relatives are very rural 'Muricans. I don't give a flying hoot about the Raj. If anything at all... I can come clean and confess to being obsessively perfectionist (in many but not all cases; sometimes I DGAF, esp. for pop culture crap) about Wikipedia. I probably have lost friends because of it, in fact.

I spent a year rewriting Bengal famine of 1943 because it was massively POV horse manure. I made a half-completed list of all the POV aspects, and even half done, it was distressing. Huge aspects never even mentioned, etc. That list is given on the MilHist try I think.

I acknowledge that I perceive Fowler&Fowler to be an admitted pro-British POV editor because of this comment: "This is in part because BFo1943 is only obliquely military history. In fact to cast it as military history is to buy into a POV out there that exceptional war time conditions allowed the famine to fly under the radar of British responsibility."

F&F has already asserted that he thinks I worked in userspace to protect a POV.

Are there any very experienced and very neutral editors who can help satisfy F&F's demands that the article must be checked?

Having said all that, I have to confess: I very clearly believe (and invite you to consider the possibility) that there are exactly three forums in the whole of Wikipedia that even come close to being equipped to handle this article. Those three forums are WP:FAC, WP:FAC, and WP:FAC. GA? Please. PR? Well, yeah, in theory, but in practice it is undermanned. It is designed to be of lesser quality than FAC. MILHIST? Same as PR, plus A- level reviewers are all at FAC already anyhow... In FAC people have to stow away their POV, and the best reviewers in Wikipedia congregate at FAC. I would be quite content for the article to sit three or four months in FAC, if that's what it takes...

Sigh. I give up; I forgot that you already said at Bish's page that you don't have a good view of the article. Cheers; I'll go bang my head against a wall at WT:FAC.  Lingzhi ♦ [[User talk:Lingzhi|(t

Hi, could you take a little look on this article, Sri Lankan Vellalar. Xenani (talk) 13:32, 27 November 2017 (UTC) Birbal Jha is the article I have included all those links in reference to the edit. I wonder why you appear to be biased and averse to the article. I have no conflict of Interest but I fail to understand your logic behind cleaning up. I have closed watched and read the activities of Birbal Jha on media and I take interest in editing it. Should I refrain myself from editing the article or do the justice to the page. Kind regards

Thank you for William Beach Thomas, a "war correspondent of WWI who gained both fame and infamy for his efforts and was also prominent as a writer of articles and books concerning rural affairs and nature. He was imprisoned for his activities in the early part of the war and also much parodied in the Wipers Times trench newspaper. He was later knighted by both the British and the French."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:32, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

Raju article

I have not added anything that seems to be faulty.the words landed aristocracy is more appropriate.You can see it in any history of kakatiyas, qutub shahis,asafjahis/nizams and even during rashtrakutas who were considered as military chiefs/vassals/tax collectors.Every peasant leader cannot be zamindar & dynasty rulers.Before reverting to your own data you should check atleast whether I have provided any misleading information then it seems to be neutral information Bsr465 (talk) 13:03, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Merry Christmas

Wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New YearJonathansammy (talk) 17:40, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Wish you both (Jonathansammy and Sitush) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Sitush, I have been following your comments/edits and although I have given exams that require good vocabulary like the "old pattern" GRE (in the US), I learn some new words from you every time(like polemicist, ballsed, etc.). It is quite obvious you were completely western educated - but not sure how you developed such good vocabulary. Or perhaps my vocabulary is not good. Just an observation.Thanks-Acharya63 (talk) 05:08, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Thank you both. I am British, Acharya63. My only connection to India is that a great-great-grandmother was born in 1849 in Bangalore while her father was serving as a private with the 15th Hussars. According to army records, he served 23 years in total, of which the last 16 were in India. He appears not to have had any significant ill health out there but died of bronchitis - a disease associated with industrialisation - within a year of returning to the UK and settling in Manchester. I suspect there will be baptismal records at some church in Bangalore but I'll never get there to find out.

I wouldn't advise you to use phrases such as "ballsed up", although I admit I have done - that's a colloquialism! There are some excellent writers of English among India-born Wikipedians. Reading a lot helps with vocabulary development. In my case, I was born profoundly deaf and so never bothered with television or radio or even much conversation - it was pretty much all books. Eg: I had read all of Dickens by the age of 11, except for Edwin Drood (I couldn't see the point in reading an unfinished book). - Sitush (talk) 09:03, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Sitush, I am sorry to hear about your hearing issue. Do you recommend any books in particular? Since you are British, I assume P.G.Wodehouse might have been popular. He used a lot of 'advanced' vocabulary. I loved Dickens too but as far as vocabulary goes, he did not use very difficult words (probably intentionally).-Acharya63 (talk) 15:06, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

Indian private universities

I believe you were once interviewed by an editor belonging to The Times of India. As such do you know of any business journalist based in UK/India who can be persuaded to run a story on the growth of private universities in Indian states and their quality standards when judged from an international stage? If you want specific examples take a look at my post at Talk:Annals of Mathematics#Content, where I asked David Eppstein to write a new blog post on his blog. Apparently it took 60 years, under the banner of a brand new private university set up under a central legislation, for a paper from West Bengal to appear in the top math journal. I don't think RKMVU is the only private university which have successfully managed to "defeat" older public universities. Tachs recently completed his project of creating biographical articles on the SSB prize winners and I know of at least two SSB laureates (biologist MadhavDGadgil and mathematician Rkarandikar) who have edited Wikipedia and are presumably aware of the modus operandi of Indian private universities to attract top faculties (and students).

The specific institution I have in mind for running a story is the Techno India University setup in 2012 with an endowment of 10,000 crore but whose owners Satyam Roy Chowdhury and Goutam Roy Chowdhury, neither of them feature at the Forbes list of Indian billionaires. Solomon7968 07:42, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

I don't, sorry. And, frankly, my own opinion is that the Indian private university system is subject to massive corruption - just look at the number of fake degrees etc. - Sitush (talk) 08:43, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

does saying Bhagat singh as a sikh is misleading and saying jat is not misleading ?

if you are removing sikh because it is misleading to say so why you don't remove "jat" its too misleading Bhagat singh never said he is jat--Jagat jit singh (talk) 10:14, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

why you are not removing jat

if you are saying sikh is misleading to say then thus jat is right to say ? even the source given along with it "https://books.google.co.in/books?id=PC4C3KcgCv0C&redir_esc=y" clear that he was born in a sandhu sikh jat family my dear please first read it and i am not creating any edit war i am just correcting it--Jagat jit singh (talk) 11:04, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

You have exceeded the three revert limit and thus I've reported you to the [[WP:AN3|relevant noticeboard. I'd already tried to explain on the article talk page. - Sitush (talk) 12:28, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

Udayar

1) I accept that some people of udayar caste are following Christianity. But when compare to Hindus udayar not even comes to 1%. The reference what you have given is not worked based on caste or orgin. It deals with only south Indian Christianity people.

2) Socially Humbler than Vellar - Vellar is the group of people how doing agriculture. But udayar caste are belongs to Velir group. For reference please read Dennis B. McGilvray work on caste system in south India. One more all udayars are under obc category. Earlier it was in General category later changed to obc category after Dravidian movement has became ruling party in Tamil Nadu. But most of the vellar cast are in mbc category earlier they where in BC later moved to MBC. If the caste is humbler than vellar then how this this is possible.

3) Malayaman Udayar are belongs to Malayaman Dynasty. There are lot of inscription which has return on sangam period found in Tamil Nadu and also found in Literature. Please refer the following artical - http://www.whatisindia.com/inscriptions/south_indian_inscriptions/volume_26/introduction_1.html We request you to don't revert the page. If you have any concern replay to this mail. Will make it clear. -> Archescientist — Preceding unsigned comment added by Archescientist (talk • contribs) 12:33, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

You are at the three revert limit, have been reverted by other people than just me, and are using some awful sources and poor phrasing. I did ask you to raise the issue at the article talk page. This is not that. - Sitush (talk) 12:38, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi sitush, We are looking forward your view on above points rather your discrimination.
