I found your restoration of BLP-violating content at Burjor Avari surprising given your tenure and knowledge of policy. I know that you're aware aware of the requirement for such content to be supported by reliable sources, so please include your sources if you intend to restore it. Thank you, -- Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:47, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi Ponyo, you caught me in an edit conflict. :-) -- Kautilya3 (talk) 19:49, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
I knew there must have been something odd going on! -- Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:53, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Is this a reliable source for the Arvind Kejriwal article?-Haani40 (talk) 02:18, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

It was used in this edit.-Haani40 (talk) 02:21, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
Yes. Newspapers are perfectly fine for current affairs. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 02:22, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
OK, thanks!-05:03, 7 April 2024 (UTC) Haani40 (talk) 05:03, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

How to change my user name slightly (I just want to change 40 to 39)? Will I lose my extended confirmed user rights if I do so?-Haani40 (talk) 07:00, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

i would advise against it, because it would confuse people who are just about getting to know you. If there are strong reasons why you have to do it, please ask at WP:Teahouse. (I used to know it some time, but it was a long time ago.)
Congratulations on getting extended confirmed! But this also means that you cannot be considered a "new user" any more. You need to edit responsibly in contentious areas. If not, you can be taken to WP:ARE. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 12:09, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) @Haani40, please read the Changing Username information page. It includes a link to where you'll need to make the request. You should not lose the EC rights on a rename. Ravensfire (talk) 15:00, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
OK, thanks to both of you! -Haani40 (talk) 16:14, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

I see that there is no mention of the Maratha Empire in the article about India (neither in the lead nor in the History section) but the lead of the Maratha Empire article reads,

The Maratha Kingdom was expanded into a full-fledged Empire in the 18th Century under the leadership of Peshwa Bajirao I.

- so should we not mention that India was ruled by the Marathas and that the English East India Company seized control of Bengal in the Battle of Plassey and then defeated the Marathas in the second and third Anglo-Maratha wars and established Company rule in India?-Haani40 (talk) 16:14, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

The India page is not expected to contain a comprehensive coverage of history. For that, there is a path on History of India. Any change to the India article requires WP:CONSENSUS on the talk page, because it is a Featured Article. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 17:03, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
In the, "Maratha Empire" sub-section of the, "Early modern period (c. 1526–1858 CE)" section of the History of India article, it says,
The Marathas are credited to a large extent for ending Mughal rule in India.
- so should that not be mentioned in the lead of that article?-Haani40 (talk) 17:25, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
