Haha. I will certainly do it. Btw I found another recently created article that fails GNG. See Battle of Thane. I am not much experienced creating an speedy deletion discussion. Could you do it after double checking the sources and notability? Imperial^[AFCND] 12:57, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ImperialAficionado, if there's any discussion to be had, you're not looking for "speedy deletion". That's WP:CSD, and it's only for some very specific conditions like "there is literally no comprehensible text" and "sole author requests deletion". If you think it's very obvious that something ought to be deleted, such that no one is likely to disagree, that's not a speedy deletion (use WP:PROD for that). -- asilvering (talk) 23:16, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I found that lately. Thanks. Imperial^[AFCND] 01:16, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, ImperialAficionado,

Please review Criteria for Speedy Deletion so you are more familiar with the different criteria and when they apply. You can't take a page that is a redirect, blank the page and then tag it for deletion as an article with no context. It was never an article, it was a redirect. The appropriate criteria is CSD R2 which is a redirect from main space to Draft space. You shouldn't need to guess at what criteria is appropriate, if you want to patrol pages you have to know them very well and that comes from reviewing the criteria, not skimming over the page, and seeing when they are appropriate and which namespace they apply to.

If you have any questions about CSD or other deletion processes, please bring them to the Teahouse. Thank you for your help. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 08:11, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, you don't need to tag the Talk page for speedy deletion, Twinkle automatically deletes talk pages when it deletes articles, templates or drafts. Thanks again. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 08:13, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rima Hooja- Maharana Pratap:The invincible warrior, page number 65-a

later work, Nainsi’s Khyat , by one of the kingdom of Marwar’s

ministers, Muhnot Nainsi, maintains that he commanded

40,000 soldiers. A still later work, Kaviraj Shyamaldas’s Vir Vinod

asserts that the Mughal troops numbered 80,000.

@ImperialAficionado As you have nominated a my image foe the greatest extent of Mewar for deletion. I have given the page no 452 in A History of Rajasthan by Rima Hooja. If you at that time was not able to find source you would have contacted me. Nevertheless I am citing the source from the mentioned book " As a consequence of Sanga’s exploits, the borders of Mewar by this period extended from near Mandu (the capital of Malwa), in the south to Peela Khal (Pilya Khal), a small rivulet near Bayana and Agra, in the north-east, and deep into the desert country (stretching towards the river Indus) west and north-west of Mewar." Rawn3012 (talk) 04:33, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ImperialAficionado I hope that after reading the source you would take back your request Rawn3012 (talk) 04:38, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's not how mapping works. One source should show the map itself with its boarders. Pinging @पाटलिपुत्र. He can help you with it. Your map was just an ellipse with awful boarder, including unnecessary texts. That's why I nominated that for deletion.Imperial^[AFCND] 04:52, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ImperialAficionadoImperialAficionadoThere is no rule on wikepedia regarding that if you have source which is clearly mentioning the territorial extent you can make it. See the map of Chola Empire on its wikepedia page Rawn3012 (talk) 05:00, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Which is the map under deletion request? Can someone give a link? पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra) (talk) 06:01, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@पाटलिपुत्र, here it is [1] Imperial^[AFCND] 06:05, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@पाटलिपुत्र, there are several other maps uploaded by Rawn3012, which may subjected to copyright violation. Check his contribution section on commons. Imperial^[AFCND] 06:14, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ImperialAficionado We are discussing on the map above. Talking about the prior history I am accepting that the maps[only some] are subject to copyright which I have agreed to delete but as I was busy with some other task. I was not be able to it. Rawn3012 (talk) 06:26, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am attaching the map derived from the Schwartzberg Atlas. The [2] map seems rather exaggerated, especially the northern extension: the border should stop well before Uttar Pradesh. Technically, it is accepted to make a map based on textual evidence only, but here the text is a bit vague, and the map shows a larger territory: "As a consequence of Sanga’s exploits, the borders of Mewar by this period extended from near Mandu (the capital of Malwa), in the south to Peela Khal (Pilya Khal), a small rivulet near Bayana and Agra, in the north-east, and deep into the desert country (stretching towards the river Indus) west and north-west of Mewar." Better to follow Schwartzberg. Also, using a modern map as a base is a bad idea: it is anachronistic. पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra) (talk) 06:26, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@पाटलिपुत्र The map given by you does not include Rana Sanga's territories of Northern Gujarat(Visalnagar,Vadnagar,Patan and Idar) which he conquered in Sanga's Invasion of Gujarat also the other territories such as Marwar and Bikaner. For your point that map should end before Uttar pradesh you hade to check this line from A History Of Rajasthan by Rima Hooja page 453" The Princes of Marwar and Amber did him homage and the Raos of Gwalior, Ajmer, Sikrl, Raisen, KalpI, Chanderl, Bundi, Gagraun, Rampura and Abu served him as tributaries.” It includes Kalpi which is in Uttarpradesh. The map can be improved. By nominating it for deletion is wrong step Rawn3012 (talk) 06:39, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Rawn3012, Schwartzberg Atlas is a widely used source for mapping in commons. Also, it is more reliable than texts, this we are going with it. Imperial^[AFCND] 06:41, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rima Hooja is one of the best historian of India and especially in history of Rajasthan and Mewar Rawn3012 (talk) 06:45, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear @ImperialAficionado

I am writing to address a concerning pattern of behavior that I have observed in our interactions on Wikipedia. It appears that you have been following my editing activity across multiple articles, which has made me uncomfortable and has the potential to disrupt the collaborative editing process.

While I appreciate constructive feedback and discussion on article content, I would like to request that you refrain from closely monitoring my edits and engaging in what feels like stalking behavior. Wikipedia is a platform for collaborative editing and discussion, and it's important for all users to respect each other's contributions and autonomy.

If you have specific concerns about my edits or content disputes, I encourage you to bring them up on the relevant article talk pages or seek assistance from other editors or administrators. Open communication and collaboration are key to maintaining a positive editing environment on Wikipedia.

I hope we can resolve this matter amicably and continue working together constructively in the future.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

@Sudsahab

Dear Subsahab, If you have specific concerns about my edits or content disputes, I encourage you to bring them up on the relevant article talk pages, that's all what I am doing. Just be calm. Regards. Imperial^[AFCND] 13:04, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your message, but I must insist that your behavior has become increasingly disruptive and unwelcome. Continuously following my edits and interfering with my contributions is not conducive to a productive editing environment.

I kindly ask that you refrain from targeting me specifically and focus instead on contributing positively to the articles. If you have any genuine concerns about my edits, please bring them up in a civil manner on the relevant talk pages, rather than resorting to constant monitoring and interference.

Let's strive to maintain a respectful and collaborative atmosphere on Wikipedia. Sudsahab (talk) 13:12, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear, I am not targetting you. Your are editing articles on my watchlist. So what else can I do? I insist to believe that I performed incivil behaviour with you. Imperial^[AFCND] 13:24, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your concerns, but I must clarify that targeting specific users' draft articles goes against Wikipedia's guidelines on harassment and maintaining a collaborative editing environment. It's important to respect the work of all editors, regardless of whose watchlist an article may be on. Sudsahab (talk) 04:08, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just suggested you to drop that work, as it can't be moved to mainspace. It is completely your choice to do anything. I never edited your draft article, did I? Imperial^[AFCND] 06:34, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey@ImperialAficionado I have recently made an article regarding the Mewar-malwa conflict and have nearly completed the work for Mewar- Gujarat conflicts, but while doing these things. One thing came to my mind that Malwa and Gujarat not only fought wars with Mewar but also fought with themselves then I got the idea to create a separate or edit the newly created Mewar-Malwa conflict article into a new article which would describe the struggles between Mewar, Gujarat, and Malwa. It would be a time-consuming process as the article should contain a struggle between all three.

What do you think? Rawn3012 (talk) 14:46, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I think you could create the "List of wars between Mewar, Malwa and Gujarat" just like List of wars involving the Delhi Sultanate. So it wouldn't be much time consuming, and it would be much engaging to do. It's all up to you. Regards. Imperial^[AFCND] 15:47, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
