Santhosh Suvarna

Would someone from this WikiProject mind taking a look at Santhosh Suvarna? I don't know if there is a specific WP:SNG that covers professional poker players, but this article was created directly in the mainspace and doesn't ever seem to have been assessed. It also looks like an attempt to WP:COATRACK content about two professional poker tournaments instead of just focusing on one particular player. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:27, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

thenortheasttoday.com?

We have a number of articles which cite articles from thenortheasttoday.com, for example Operation Bluebird. That domain no longer exists. However, I see there is a https://www.northeasttoday.in/. Is it possible these are the same publication under different domain names? RoySmith (talk) 14:30, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Supreme Court has dismissed the allegations against Isha Foundation

Since Wikipedia aims to present facts impartially, I respectfully request a review of the “Isha Foundation” article for neutrality and overall quality. In my view, the current representation of several allegations throughout the article lacks proper context regarding potential vested interests from certain groups that are not offering genuine criticism but rather inventing controversies to harm Isha Foundation.0nelight505 (talk) 22:24, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Political marriages in India

This is a historical article and it is heavily edited in last few days with unreliable sources like low quality newspaper articles and local publication books even sources are cited fraudulently to write something which is not present in the source itself. Specially, the Rajput and Mughal section is full of crap. Lack of attention by even established editors in reverting such poor addition has been degrading the quality of articles on English Wikipedia and it seems that like several websites floating on internet, Wikipedia is also backing pseudo-historic claims.

Buffen meat hoax?

On Buffalo meat it says "it is known as [...] buffen in India" and then uses "buffen" throughout the article.

But I couldn't find any independent sources confirming this. Is it true or a hoax? Commander Keane (talk) 06:31, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
