Manual RTL; overuse of Urdu on en.wiki

Latest comment: 8 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Why is this being so frequently and so inconsistently coded manually with RTL style? Our language templates for languages like Urdu handle this. This article is over-using Urdu text, which is meaningless to most of our readers, anyway. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ 23:31, 13 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

PS: I moved a big block of it, that was being incorrectly presented as a pull quote, into a citation and kept the English version as a standard block quotation, which is how this would be handled in any other article. However, the citation is incomplete. Various sources are cited in that section, but none of them are identified as the actual source of that particular quotation. The quoted Urdu poem I left in, though I don't see that it serves any purpose for English readers. It would be much more useful to present the English meaning, than show them Urdu and phonetic transcription of the Urdu. This is not how we approach articles on writers in any other language. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ 23:35, 13 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
