Persian alphabet

I'll be honest, I really don't remember what I changed. In the revision history, it looks like I just removed some blank lines. Why did you revert it? --JDspeeder1 (talk) 11:19, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

You accidentally removed the side bar that had the alphabet written on it. ThatDohDude (talk) 03:25, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Mughal Empire, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Persian.

Babur

His birth name is already in the infobox in the special parameter for that... GiantSnowman 10:55, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Well aware, but the standard for Mughal emperors is to also have their native names write below their English names at the top of the infobox. Check out other Mughal emperor's infoboxes just for proof: Akbar, Humayun, Jahangir, Shah Jahan, Aurangzeb, Bahadur Shah II... the list goes on. ThatDohDude (talk) 05:06, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Oh yeah! And one other thing... at the top of the infobox, write below their English names, the format for writing the native names of Mughal emperors would be writing their full name in Persian, which in Babur's case would be ظهیرالدین محمد; (Zahir ud-din Muhammad), then writing their royal name write after it, seperated by a space, making their infobox name at the top be ظهیرالدین محمد بابر; (Zahir ud-din Muhammad Babur). ThatDohDude (talk) 05:10, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

You are edit warring at Babur. Edit summaries are not the place for declarations about what an editor will or will not do. Do not edit war. The correct procedure is to explain on the article talk page (not here) why your edits should be retained. Johnuniq (talk) 05:50, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Coding

Hey, do you make all the edits in Wikipedia or, was it specifically for the Balti Page?

Also, if you send me a link to the article related to my question, it’ll help me get answers to many many questions related to coding? 2401:4900:43AE:A334:4500:2F51:95C3:85FB (talk) 14:59, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Nope, I'm simply one of many thousands of editors on this site. Can you be more specific? What do you mean by "questions related to coding"? ThatDohDude (talk) 02:22, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Kurukh-Malto languages moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Kurukh-Malto languages, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Persian pronunciations

Hi ThatDohDude! You have added a lot of Persian pronunciations in numerous articles, but please make sure that these conform to our key Help:IPA/Persian, especially with regards to [æ] and [ɒː]. Please check and correct your additions accordingly. Thank you. –Austronesier (talk) 17:17, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

@Austronesier:, Please note that the dialect of Persian spoken by all the rulers listed, is different than that of Tehrani Persian, which is what you have listed the vowels for. They spoke variations of Persian, and had names in variations, that are more close to contemporary Eastern Persian dialects such as Hazaragi. Vowels worked quite differently in this dialect, which is explored with more in-depth analysis in this article. The way the Mughals utilized vowels in Persian is also apparent in modern day Urdu and Punjabi pronunciations of the same words, although not the exact same.
If needed, I am more than happy to "standardize" the IPA pronunciations to what fits modern-day Tehrani pronunciation, however, that would be prone to making the transliterations incorrect. I'd appreciate a follow-up. ThatDohDude (talk) 02:30, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Bahadur Shah Zafar

Thanks so much for fixing the Urdu transliteration on the article. I had one question: as far as I'm aware, anything language tagged Urdu automatically displays as nastaliq, so is it necessary to include the nq tag? I was under the impression that the goal was to use as few tags as possible to lower the undue weight of the page by streamlining that kind of stuff? if not, and my display settings are just defaulting it to nastaliq and it's not standard, then I may be entirely wrong. -Evansknight (talk) 14:07, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

@Evansknight:, I'm pretty sure somehow your display settings default it to Nastaliq. Wikipedia has yet to give the Urdu language tag a distinct font, so as of right now, the nq tag is required. However on the Urdu Wikipedia, this isn't the case, so maybe in the near future Nastaliq will be the default script for Urdu on the English Wikipedia as well, but as it stands, that does not appear to be the case.

Duly noted! -Evansknight (talk) 16:13, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Nastaliq Fonts

I noticed that in a lot of the Nastaliq Images I added, you remade them and made it better like in and . Can you tell me how you did it? Muhafiz-e-Pakistan (talk) 13:02, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

@Muhafiz-e-Pakistan: I am sure there are a lot of ways to make these images, however, I'll explain my method. I actually used a free photo editor called "Photoscape X", but really, any photo editor that lets you write with fonts that are installed on your computer can work.
However, to actually make these Nastaliq images, you'll need proper fonts installed on your computer. The ones I use include Gulzar Nastaliq, Urdu Typesetting, Jameel Noori Nastaleeq, or Noto Nastaliq Urdu. You can experiment with these fonts and see which works best for you. However, all of these fonts run into the problem of not having all possible Perso-Arabic characters. More often than not, they only support writing for Arabic, Persian, and Urdu, but not any additional characters that may be found in other languages. However, another font called Awami Nastaliq has a very large character set that supports almost all Perso-Arabic characters, including the very weird ones. However, Awami Nastaliq isn't compatible with most photo editors so it might not be the most practical to use.
I hope this helped, and best of wishes editing Wikipedia articles in the future! ThatDohDude (talk) 17:52, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Thank you so much! Muhafiz-e-Pakistan (talk) 19:48, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

But how do you do it if Awami doesn't work? The file you used on the Ushoji page uses "ݜ", which is not supported by any of the fonts above? So can you tell me which fonts actually work for it? Muhafiz-e-Pakistan (talk) 20:57, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

@Muhafiz-e-Pakistan: Unfortunately, there is no easy way to deal with those types of characters. As mentioned previously, the only font (that I know of) that has the capability of supporting such characters is Awami Nastaliq, however, this font is only compatible with a select few softwares. Therefore, I don't use it for my images. Instead, I have images of all the nuqtas/diacritics on my computer, and when I need to make an image that uses these nuqtas, I insert them in and match the sizes and drag the image to where it fits.
I'm assuming that you are using Noto Nastaliq Urdu, so I am going to send you links for all the nuqtas and diacritics in that font. Download these and insert them into the image you are working on and MAKE SURE TO RESIZE THEM TO THE FONT SIZE OF THE REST OF YOUR CHARACTERS, or else, it will look unusual.

I hope this helped! If you have any further questions, feel free to let me know! ThatDohDude (talk) 18:07, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Thank you so much, this will help me a lot in the future! Muhafiz-e-Pakistan (talk) 18:57, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Also is it okay if I change the Dameli page because it is not "دامیلی" it is "دمیلی" according to FLI - https://fli-online.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/dameli-alf-bay-.pdf Muhafiz-e-Pakistan (talk) 11:00, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

That's fine! ThatDohDude (talk) 23:11, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

And can I change it to ‬اُݜوجو because that is what FLI says it is - [1], and sorry for disturbing you. Muhafiz-e-Pakistan (talk) 17:03, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Go ahead! ThatDohDude (talk) 21:00, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
