IAST Punjabi

Can you check Amrita Pritam's name transliteration is correct or not. Bairagi Ram (talk) 21:11, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

There is no transliteration given on the page. Though if there was one, it should be Amṛtā Prītama. Pur 0 0 (talk) 19:12, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

[Əੰm੍ɾਿt̪ਾ p੍ɾੀt̪m

I am talking about this one Bairagi Ram (talk) 13:17, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

This is called IPA. I'm sorry, but I don't know how to transliterate that. Especially not this one, since I don't know Punjabi alphabet. Pur 0 0 (talk) 13:25, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

No problem....! Thanks Bairagi Ram (talk) 10:19, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Indic Script

Hi, it is regarding recent changes/additions like this. Per WP:NOINDICSCRIPT, we are not supposed to add Indian scripts in article leads and infoboxes. We can have IPA or IAST instead. Please do the needful changes. Thanks. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:37, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

From WP:NOINDICSCRIPT,

This avoidance of Indic scripts only applies to articles that are predominantly India-related and is excluded from, among others, articles about Hinduism, Buddhism, or any of India's neighbouring countries.

One reason Indian scripts are avoided is that there often are too many languages with their own native script, each of which can be original names for a topic. Additionally, there are too often problems with verifiability of the accuracy of the non-English spelling. A third reason is frequent disagreements over which native scripts to include; this led to a resolution to avoid all of them.

Basically IAST/IPA/ISO 15919 are all used when the article is regarding something relevant to India, not Hindi. Punjab Kesari is relevant to Hindi rather than India, as it is a Hindi newspaper. The fact that it happens to be Indian is irrelevant, since it is a company, so it can be used anywhere around the world. Pur 0 0 (talk) 11:41, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

The same logic can be used for film articles, since those can be watched anywhere in the world. But, the film articles are one of the main reasons why this policy was enforced. I believe the native scripts should be removed, transliterations can suffice. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:10, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

I concur with Fylindfotberserk, the newspaper/magazine articles that you've inserted Indic scripts into, are Indian and circulated in India,it makes them predominantly india related as the policy states, you would need to seek consensus from the community if you would like newspaper/magazine articles to be an exception to the rule. Thanks. Ratnahastin (talk) 13:54, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

I didn't know film articles were the reason why it was done. I thought it was done because of names of places and government related articles. Because I would have used the same logic to believe they should have indic scripts as well. Pur 0 0 (talk) 17:37, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for the article. I am still confused about the geographic location of the events: the article mentions the rebellion taking place in Rangpur, Bangladesh, but at the same time talks about "British rule in Assam" and Rangpur, Assam was the capital of the Ahom kingdom, and appears to be much closer to the Naga hills. Would it be possible to clarify this point? Thanks a lot! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 15:48, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi.

You're correct. It was in Rangpur, Assam. When I was linking the article, the Rangpur of Assam was not coming in the link, so I thought Rangpur is only in Bangladesh. I have corrected it. Pur 0 0 (talk) 11:04, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

ISO

Where does WP policy state that the very confusing ISO transliteration that you have added en masse to many articles is required? If you want to make these changes, start an RfC at WT:INDIA and attempt to achieve a consensus, but before doing so, please undo your edits. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 15:35, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

By the policy that textboxes have a field to be filled, and for because of that one rule I myself hate we have to use ISO 15919 instead of indic scripts. Below it says to use IPA. If you find ISO very confusing, I don't think you'll be able to handle IPA.

But anyway, it's not a hill I will die on. I just saw the message and was about to undo them, but you've already done it for me. Thanks for that. Pur 0 0 (talk) 03:17, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
