Distortion of Maratha Empire page. edit
On 22 May 2024, you officially renamed/shifted Maratha Empire page to Maratha Confederacy (Log for this action - [6]) based on a sham consensus debate.
Have you investigated the profiles which actually voted for this malicious move (an attempt to discredit status of Maratha State), 2 of them are made in 2023, and 2 of them were sockpuppets of the same person who is banned now. And all 5-6 voters are Muslims who voted for this move against a Hindu Empire. These nuances get easily overlooked by foreign editors like yourself despite your vast knowledge and understanding. Calling Maratha Empire a "confederacy" is an attempt to delegitimize the Maratha state's real status and aggrandize the Mughals (an Islamic state) who were subjugated by the Marathas. I have opened up a Talk page topic drawing attention to the misinformation that has been mainstreamed due to this move. DeccanFlood (talk) 18:10, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- @DeccanFlood, I have replied in the article's talk page, there's no point having separate conversations. Let's keep the discussion there, and be civil. – robertsky (talk) 20:12, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your assistance at RFPP. Four minutes after I had made the first anon-proof revert, Emperorpenguin20160923 reverted that exact edit, so I believe some users may have been editing logged-out. I will take this up in other channels, but just wanted to say thankyou for moving this to the next stage. Buckshot06 (talk) 20:59, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Buckshot06 oh no! Independently, I have up-ed the protection upon review. – robertsky (talk) 02:00, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

I noticed you closed this contention move without giving any sort explanation beside "Per consensus". How did you come to this conclusion? VR (Please ping on reply) 02:57, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
