Bangla wikipedia
[edit]Udayan, if you have time, please check out the Bangla wikipedia here http://bn.wiki.x.io . We need some more editors from West Bengal. If you can't see text correctly, you can find a tutorial on configuration here. Thanks, and hope to see you there. --Ragib 05:57, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Ragib, my current interest is Indian History. I may get into Bangla wikipedia at a later date. Thanks for inviting. --UB 05:10, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Check the said link.It's opening. WIN 11:11, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Indo-Aryan migration
[edit]I'm all for the anti-migration perspective to be represented in Indo-Aryan migration. However, please source your contributions from real books. If the pro-migration side sources from formal publications and the best your side can come up with are websites, it just undermines your argument since in scholarly fora webpages are still not trusted as reliable sources. Your university library should have dozens of fine printed sources you can use. CRCulver 08:53, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- I should mention that if you can use printed sources that even have passed peer review, then such citations should be strong enough to meet the high standards of even the most committed pro-migration editors. That's where PCT linguistics might come in handy, I'm sure there are some peer-reviewed journals that you can use. CRCulver 08:57, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the suggestion. We, in India, are a little bit handicaped in our ability to access a good library. I have no easy access to any library. However, I will try to locate some printed reference. Most of the PCT articles are written in language other than English which becomes a problem.
- I thought that the existence of river Saraswati is already accepted in academic circle. I have seen reference(including a map) in Romilar Thapar's book on Indian history. I have also seen it in the publication by B. B. Lal (ex Director General - Archaeological Survey of India)
- Hmm, if you can't access publications, it makes it really hard to work with you as an editor. Being able to refer to citations is an important part of maintaining an academic discussion. Surely India has university libraries, but if you can't access the research, I just don't know what you tell you. CRCulver 01:02, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
- I am OK with more experienced editors like you to straighten out mistakes in facts and reference made by me. I guess on your part, you have the bear the burden of additional work.
- For most of us in India who are not directly associated with any University, the main source of information is the Internet! For us Wikipedia becomes a very valuable and accessible source of information. (I guess WIN is suffering from a similar problem!)--UB 05:26, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
- Well, you seem to be finding some pretty trustworthy references on the Internet so far. Unfortunately, most of what WIN is linking to is amateur work by people with no training in archaeology or comparative linguistics. It is because of people like WIN who show no discrimination in their citations that people get nervous about using webpages as references. CRCulver 06:13, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
thank you!
[edit]it is very refreshing to have an Indian contributor sceptical of IAM that is actually engaging in intelligent and polite debate. Sadly this has been the exception in the past, and I hope you will stick around. regards, dab (ᛏ) 12:01, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- I have also enjoyed the debate. Hope we can make this into a featured article.--UB 04:50, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Indo-Aryan
[edit]Hi! Concerning this edit: normally, we do not put footnotes within sentences and we do not put very many in the lead of an article. The sentences in the lead should sum up the article, so somewhere in the article there should be sources such as the ones you are asking for.
- If yes, no problem.
- If no, then it would be preferable if you would move your tag down to the sections where genetics and so on are discussed, not within one sentence in the lead.
Can you have a look at this?--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 11:47, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
