Bamraulia Dynasty

Could someone familiar with Wikipedia's standards for Indian castes please review this article? It was created evading a salt on Bamraulia and was recently expanded from G4-eligible status to a substantive article by an editor with very few other edits. Thanks. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 05:11, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Also Rajput resistance to Muslim conquests - this seems to be a reasonable topic for an article, but it's evading a salt on Rajput resistance and I would not be surprised if the creator, who has no blocks but very few other edits, is part of the same sockfarm. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 16:34, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Separatist POV in Northeast India article

Recently, the sockfarm Tasumluke has been adding substantial content on some proposed country/separatist movement - WESEA in Northeast India and related articles. While I have reverted obvious POV, that is change of longstanding content based on census data as well as clubbing diverse ethnic groups within their preferred 'groupings', My point is whether this large chunk of info anout the proposed country/region (WESEA) be included in an article on administrative division, considering information on Khalistan movement or Tamil nationalism aren't mentioned in respective regional articles, not even in the Punjab and Tamil Nadu. Even Jammu and Kashmir (union territory) has a passing mention of the widely covered separatist activities in the state/UT. I believe, the newly added content related to WESEA should be merged to Insurgency in Northeast India, something similar was done by the sockfarm here. We already have a section 'Northeast India#20th century separatist unrest', which is more than enough. Pinging @Gotitbro, Chaipau, DaxServer, Chronikhiles, Manasbose, PadFoot2008, RegentsPark, Utcursch, Usernamekiran, and Vanamonde93:. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:39, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Agree with @Fylindfotberserk. The added content should better be added to Insurgency in Northeast India or maybe even deleted as the article already covers the added information in great detail. This is, as already mentioned by Fylindfotberserk, also keeping in mind the fact that separatist movements in Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir, and Tamil Nadu recieve no or minimal mention in the articles about their respective states/territories. In my opinion, even the section Northeast India#20th century separatist unrest is too much and should be converted into a single line. PadFoot2008 (talk) 11:05, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

yes. This will also establish a consistency/protocol for similar articles. —usernamekiran (talk) 17:59, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
