On the article List of Indian state symbols

Greetings! The articles List of Indian state symbols and List of Kerala state symbols both now have the same wikibox. It would be great if you could make it an excerpt just like what was done with the other states as I can't (I have limited information on this)

Consider this a request. Thank you for your time to read this! Malayalee from India (talk) 10:50, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

Question from VNK28 (21:19, 6 November 2025)

Hello! Was looking at Mirabai's page and in the Biography section, I noticed that Mira bai was referred to as Meera in some instances and Mira bai in others. The earlier section does note that she was known as both, but to improve comprehension and keep uniformity, might it be better to stick to one name- either Mirabai or Meera? or is using them interchangeably fine too?

Here is the section I am referring to: Primary records about Meera are not available, and scholars have attempted to establish Meera's biography from secondary literature that mentions her.

Mirabai was born into a Rathore Rajput royal family in Kudki (modern-day Beawar district of Rajasthan), and spent her childhood in Merta. She was the daughter of Ratan Singh Rathore and grand daughter of Rao Dudaji of Merta, thus making her a great-granddaughter of Rao Jodha and a cousin of Jaimal Rathore.[12][13]

Meera had an arranged marriage with Bhoj Raj, the crown prince of Mewar, in 1516 --VNK28 (talk) 21:19, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

@VNK28: that is probably a side effect of the page being moved, but the names not being updated. Having a consistent name would definitely be useful, so I think changing it would be a good idea. —Matrix _{ping me}^{when u reply} (t? - c) 18:09, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

Question from Linds2008 (09:03, 12 November 2025)

Note: Linds2008's mentor Aaron Liu is away.

Hello! Im new to wikipedia and apparently you were assigned to me as a mentor? I have a question about editing. A user named MikeAllen reverted my edit and they shouldn't have. I made the edit again but I know they'll revert it again. My question is why they did this and how can I stop them from reverting my edits? It's on the page of the 90s version of the movie a little princess and my edit is the addition of an actor in the movie and their character name. When this wikipedia user made that edit they cited nana of style and RW 16.1. Idk what those mean but my edit was correct and clear. If their reason to undo it is because the character isn't relevant, well, neither are a couple others that are mentioned, and if its because the actor doesn't have a wikipedia page, well nor do a few others from the movie. So, I really dont understand why they undid it but I know he's stalking that page because I saw him undo several other edits in that same page made by others. It;s like they're acting like it's their page. Can you help me with this? Thanks. --Linds2008 (talk) 09:03, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

• manual of style, not nana of style

Linds2008 (talk) 09:07, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

@Linds2008: (full disclosure, your original mentor is Aaron Liu, but he's away so I'm the replacement) per the bold revert discuss cycle you should discuss the edit at Talk:A Little Princess (1995 film). Whilst I personally wouldn't have reverted the edit on the talk page "What's your problem?" doesn't come off as civil. —Matrix _{ping me}^{when u reply} (t? - c) 17:42, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

I fail to see how the civility, or lack thereof, of my message to that other user is of any relevance to you or this discussion. That is my business with him, what is it to you? Can you explain? Are you here to decide what is appropriate behavior? Are you here to tell people how to express themselves? Because I was under the impression you were the substitute "mentor" (as wikipedia told me), not my dad. I messaged you because I wanted to know why that person reverted my edit and what I could do about it. Telling me you wouldn't have reverted it yourself, that I can discuss about it on the talk page and giving me your unsolicited opinion on my choice on how to express myself to others is hardly any wikipedia editing mentoring work.

Question from VNK28 (23:39, 13 November 2025)

Hello! Was on Paetsch's page again and was looking at the sources. The first referenced source is not in English but I guess that is not an issue regarding reliability, but rather readability. I am unsure if a non-English source would be useful or what the policies are for this.

Question from VNK28 (21:55, 19 November 2025)

Hello! I had made a few content edits on the Kingdom of Kongo page, and they have all been removed. I had used a reliable source for my edits/ additions to the page, so I am not sure why they have been removed. Could you guide me on what I can do in this situation? --VNK28 (talk) 21:55, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

@VNK28: the edit summary left by the editor was blank and references Wikipedia:Huggle, which is an anti-vandalism tool. Maybe it flagged your edit as vandalism and they weren't paying attention. I think you can revert it and leave a message ad User talk:Nomadgeek to notify them. —Matrix _{ping me}^{when u reply} (t? - c) 18:35, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

Good day! Indeed, this must have been accidental, perhaps my keyboard rapid-keyed and this edit was caught in the crossfire. There's nothing wrong with @VNK28's edits and I appreciate them reverting my mistake. Also, I wanted to complement them on their handing of my error and your advice, @Matrix. Thanks for being great Wikipedians. Cheers! Nomadgeek (^T/_C\^D) 14:54, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

Question from VNK28 (14:11, 22 November 2025)

Hello! Thank you for your guidance on the recent Kingdom of Kongo page reverts. I was looking at Samad Mir's page, and I noticed that there were two years in the date of birth (1893 and 1959). I am not sure why this is the case, and whether or not this is intentional. Is this something that I can put on the talk page? Or are there any other methods for me to inquire? --VNK28 (talk) 14:11, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
