Saharanpur

If you have books in hand. then please provide references for the text. That will help improving the article to a great extent. If you have any question on how to write references, then please ask me. or check Template:cite web and Template:cite book and Template:Harvnb and Template:Harvard_citation and Template:Harvs. --GDibyendu (talk) 21:08, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Also, all 'ALLCAPS' words must be normalized.--GDibyendu (talk) 21:09, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Teacher's colony Deoband

You can just mention about it in Deoband article, if you can find sources. I'll also check and see whether the Teacher's colony Deoband should be deleted or not. Apparently, it should be and I'll file an AFD for discussion on this. Thanks. --GDibyendu (talk) 20:02, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes. I also searched, there is nothing other than addresses for some people. Filed Afd nomination for discussion on deletion.--GDibyendu (talk) 20:23, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi

I just removed the redundant table of contents and define section headers. Basically, table of contents gets auto-generated when there are four or more sections. Now all sections are at 2nd level with 2 '=' signs. You can change the section titles and make them as subsections of other sections using 3 '=' signs, if it seems appropriate. For more info on this, see Help:Section or click the Help link on left side navigation bar.--GDibyendu (talk) 18:09, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Barbodhan

Yes. The business information is referenced and is OK. If it had rather talked tall on the company, then it would have sounded like advertising. Plain facts with references are always OK. BTW, maps.yahoo.com shows some place with same name when searched for Barbodhan, Gujarat, India:http://maps.yahoo.com/#mvt=m&lat=21.22196&lon=72.70052&zoom=15&q1=Barbodhan%252C%2520Gujarat%252C%2520India. Does it seem to the right place? Thanks. BTW, once displayed text cross 1500 and there are some references, you can remove the stub template, as it becomes a start-class (one level above stub).--GDibyendu (talk) 04:57, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Coordinates are in the link, latitude 21.22 and longitude 72.70 approximately.--GDibyendu (talk) 13:25, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Battles of Tarain

I have edited and merged the article on The Second Battle of Tarain with that of the First Battle of Tarain. The page on the First Battle already contained information about the second battle, and the two battles occurred within the space of two years anyway, so I think there is a good case for only having a single article. However, I now need to delete the article on The Second Battle of Tarain, and make a link so that anyone looking for the Second Battle of Tarain will be sent to the page entitled Battles of Tarain. Can you help, please? There are still one or two dubious statements in the article, but I propose to leave them at the moment until I can find sources proving that they are untrue. Energyworm (talk) 17:34, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Now there are two different articles: Battle of Tarain and Battles of Tarain. Either they should be merged or there should be one on all battles along with separate articles for separate battles in Tarain. This better should be discussed in talk pages before consolidation, as this is a potential area where people may disagree.--GDibyendu (talk) 04:28, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I appericiate you contribution on the topic at hand, i.e The battle of tarain. I also think that that the two articles mentioned above should be merged. I also want to inform you that I have also been searching for references regarding the death of Prithviraj, Acording an Indian myth he commited sucide, as it was told in a story by Chand bardai, but After consulting some books online I have found out that your statement is true, that he was actuallly killed during the battle, So I feel it justified to remove the statement that you were talking about (that was the one you were talking about, Right..??)....I shall also add some reference to go that statement...Peace...Adil your (talk) 18:28, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Muhammad of Ghor

I appreciate your work on the Muhammad of Ghor article, especially the presentation of the two versions of the death of Prithviraj. However, please read Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English) with regard to the non-standard English versions of the names you have used in that article. The Wikipedia is not an academic treatise. --Bejnar (talk) 21:43, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

In a given article, like Muhammad of Ghor, the exact diacritically correct formulation of the subject's name may be given, often in parenthesis, but for article titles, reference and cross-reference the common usage in English name is used. This name is determined by consensus at each article, and may occasionally lead to arbitration. That is why using "Maḥmūd-e Ghaznawī" when the Wikipedia article is Mahmud of Ghazna is unnecessary, and needlessly distracting for the non-academic reader. Yes, many names from Central Asia have many forms. I was just reading a German book about Ahmad Sanjar that called him Sindjar. But the process of consensus in using the most common English form of the name has proven its utility, hence the guideline. Redirects that point to the consensus name, as well as disambiguation pages, act in mitigation of the many varieties of names. --Bejnar (talk) 22:20, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Inserting pictures

{{helpme}}I have translated some of the German text from the German Wikipedia about the city of Buchen. I wanted to include some of the illustrations from the German version in the English one, but it never seems to work. I have tried looking for instructions about how to do this, but it hasn't helped so far. The illustrations themselves are in Wikimedia Commons, so copyright should not be an issue. Please can someone help? Thanks. Energyworm (talk) 17:40, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Wikimedia Commons has instructions on how to use an image from Wikimedia Commons in the English Wikipedia, in the section "Embedding Commons' media in Wikipedia articles". The formatting in the same as using any other image:

Thanks! I will try it. Energyworm (talk) 20:15, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Hims

Hi Energyworm. I reverted your recent edits at Hims because of WP:MoS concerning the accents. For non-English words we usually just restrict the specific accent and pronunciation marks for the Arabic translation in the first sentence of the article and the Etymology section. If you would like you could reinstate the marks in the Etymology section where proper. Thanks! --Al Ameer son (talk) 23:48, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
