Please review and rewrite article on the terrorist Amrik Singh, it glorifies him, e.g. lede begins with "martyred". The tone of whole article is glorification of the terrorist. 220.255.242.109 (talk) 21:14, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How do we regulate the consensus for RfCs regarding Indian job titles?

[edit]

In this discussion, a consensus was reached to remove ordinals from indian prime ministers and their related articles. Subsequently, it was agreed to remove ordinals from all Indian job titles and offices, such as chief ministers, as an extension of the former consensus. However, it has been well over a year since this consensus was formulated, yet these ordinals keep popping up in articles, mostly by new editors who do not know of this consensus. For instance, basically every Indian chief minister article (Including main ones such as Chief Minister of Gujarat), articles related to ministries, etc., still retain ordinals. When I tried tackling this issue, my idea was to basically add hidden notes telling editors not to include such ordinals, however that did not work (For instance, in List of prime ministers of India, ordinals were brought back, in an edit with no edit summary. This was done even though I had placed multiple such notes). How do we better enforce the consensus and regulate future changes? EarthDude (wanna talk?) 15:03, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging key editors who were involved in said discussions @GrabUp @Fylindfotberserk @Vanamonde93 EarthDude (wanna talk?) 15:28, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That's not a very robust agreement on which to base the general removal of ordinals, though I will note my personal preference is for removal. I would recommend having an RfC first. That said, even an RfC won't fix the issue if the addition of ordinals is from new or unregistered users: there isn't a technical solution for everything, and as with most instances of consensus and policy, enforcing it requires simply more time and effort. Vanamonde93 (talk) 15:44, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The discussion was already an RfC with the consensus being removal, so I don't understand what you mean by having an RfC. As for the specific issue, I agree with the fact that not everything has a technical solution, but there must be some way to make the process less tedious. Maybe edit notices? Maybe putting all involved articles in a separate category so they can be better regulated? I am not sure, which is why I have posted this message for some help and ideas by other editors. EarthDude (wanna talk?) 16:04, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The discussion for Indian Prime Ministers was a formal RfC that has some weight. The discussion about applying that consensus more widely only had two attendees [1]. Edit-notices are not a bad idea in principle. For pages affected by the Indian prime minister count situation I would support their usage. I don't know if the cost is worth it for wider usage. Vanamonde93 (talk) 17:28, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Vanamonde93 Alright. I also support the addition of edit notices for pages directly affected by Indian pm count (we can't possibly add edit notices to every page which mentions a pm's count). Also, do you reckon I should start an RfC for Indian job title counts as a whole (such as union and state ministers, chief ministers, governors, etc.) since the previous one only had two attendees? (Sorry for the late reply by the way) EarthDude (wanna talk?) 12:12, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Indian environmental law

[edit]

This is a good start! Can this be improved rapidly? I suggest more appropriate links, reliable sources, some context, news reports, and a photograph or two. Bearian (talk) 22:23, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question about caste

[edit]

In the article for Zohran Mamdani (a Ugandan-American of Indian descent who is a candidate for mayor of New York City), a couple of editors have added information about his parents' castes. Other editors have wondered why that information is included. I know nothing about when this information is/isn't considered DUE and am seeking advice.
