24.220.25.50 (talk) 06:24, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

it should be from West Bengal,India in the history section 24.220.25.50 (talk) 06:24, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done, No it should not. You are asking to modify reference quotation that needs to be reproduced in the article as it is as per policy. See the reference page 94. It clearly says

Banerjee (485) Indian (Bengal) and Bangladeshi: Hindu (Brahman) name, the first element of which, Ban....

Also Banerjees are not restricted to West Bengal, they can come from eastern Bengal (modern Bangladesh). - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:28, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted Edit

My edit was intended as copyediting without change to the sense of the article. Currently this is in broken English and the list of names is disorganized and inconsistent in punctuation. It will repel native English-speakers. I won't touch it again given the revert and given this topic is low-priority for me. RowanElder (talk) 13:45, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I partially restored your changes, as I agree that the "lineage" wording in your version is easier to read. I did not restore your changes to the lede, as they seemed unnecessary. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:02, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it wasn't necessary. I find "Bengali from Bengal" awkward but it is a matter of taste. RowanElder (talk) 18:04, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

About content of surname/clan name article

[1] Ratnahastin although I appreciate this edit. There exist a confusion that what can we do if some surname is also a clan name of a particular caste. As for example many of the clan names of Jats like Randhawa, Virk, Sandhu are also the surname. The people using these surnames may and may not be Jats but as I pointed out in WP:ANI discussion involving me, there is no problem in mentioning if a particular surname is primarily used by a particular caste group, if it is supported by sources, with the disclaimer that people listed there may or may not belong to that caste. As, in indian context, surnames have some connection with the caste although exception exists. Adamantine123 (talk) 03:02, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure how this relates to the edit I made or to this page in particular. In any case this isn't an appropriate venue for this discussion. Ratnahastin (talk) 03:12, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree to what Adamantine123 said. A lot of surnames are indeed used by a clan or a caste. If we are not going to have forks of each one, having a disclaimer is OK. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:26, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You got my point Fylindfotberserk. Otherwise, we will have to create seperate article for surname and clan name. Giving disclaimer in single article is the best way. Adamantine123 (talk) 15:03, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
