Hello, I'm Fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Script issues of Kokborok have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 14:42, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Is it okay, if I can insist you on reading the article.. Aside from the grammar, the information there about Bengali evolving from Assamese, is not related with the issues of Kokborok script at all. Pls allow a native speaker, someone akin to Kokborok to edit it. I hope you can redo it. Mishimao (talk) 14:50, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

ive reviewed the source and restored your edit which you can see here.

your edit summary of "Deleted some Grammatical errors" was somewhat misleading, given that it was a content removal edit. writing accurate edit summaries is important and very helpful for anyone who reviews your work, thank you for helping to build wikipedia! fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 15:04, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Thank you and sorry for the incomplete explanation. I'm still very new to wiki and don't know how to leave proper edits.. and explanation. I'll do better next time Mishimao (talk) 15:18, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Not a problem; and welcome! A couple of pointers: one of wikipedia's key foundations is that information added needs to be verifiable, this means adding reliable sources to content when contributed. If you're looking for a hub of information to get started from and learn how wikipedia works the welcome guide is the place to go. And if you ever have any questions please feel free to visit the Teahouse and ask! fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 15:32, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

What if there aren't any sources for it online but only on written records Mishimao (talk) 05:17, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

Is there by any chance a site or platform where people on Wikipedia talk? Mishimao (talk) 05:19, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Mishimao, written records can absolutely be used as a source so long as the information it contributes is due and the source is reliable. You can read more about some of the different types of sources at WP:SOURCETYPES.

And yes there are places to talk on or about Wikipedia. On-site is the Teahouse, a noticeboard where you can post questions and get answers from experienced contributors. If you're seeking mentorship then look here. Off-site there is an IRC if that is your preference, or a Discord (which is community run, not by the Wikimedia Foundation) which you can access here. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 07:07, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

how do I add citation?? Mishimao (talk) 18:16, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

The Introduction which is linked through the welcome guide has a section all about how to add citations. Specifically here, but please do go through the entire Help:Introduction yourself as it is a great step-by-step guide to many aspects of editing on Wikipedia. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 19:52, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

Oh btw um, am I allowed to delete the no.10 citations of "issues with kokborok script" page. Remember the Bengali and Assamese portion which wasn't related with kokborok at all? Mishimao (talk) 10:03, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

If you've reviewed a source and find that it does not support the associated text, feel free to be WP:BOLD and either remove the source or modify the text so that the source can support it. Just please leave an edit summary which explains the change! fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 10:19, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

Umm can you do it for me. I'm still an amateur Mishimao (talk) 10:29, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

I personally would prefer not to make an edit on behalf of another editor to remove a source as such. If you're having trouble navigating the source editor then you can try using the visual editor instead which you can read about and learn how to activate here. The visual editor is more similar to the kind of editing experience in Microsoft Word, or Google Docs. The introduction has guides for either editor. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 10:38, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

umm alright Mishimao (talk) 10:46, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date. You have shown interest in South Asian social groups. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose contentious topics restrictions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

You cannot demand that editing a particular article be limited to the subject or any group; in any event, we have no way to confirm that someone is a member of any particular group. 331dot (talk) 10:10, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

Busu Dima

Your edits are without citations. Please cite references. The article name itself is Busu Dima, and the TOI article calls it "Busu". Please look at WP:RS (guidelines) and WP:SOURCE (policy) for descriptions of this.

Please also note that reverting edits and requesting others to accept your edits on the face of it is not enough. If you continue to revert, it might be considered as WP:EDITWARRING.

Chaipau (talk) 19:20, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

Oh pls tell me, where is the real name of bushu given as Bishow or bisu. The real name is bushu. There is no CITATION OF IT BEING A NICKNAME OF ANYTHING, you don't know a thing about bushu or celebrated bushu and for goodness sake there is a citation where it was fix for urbans to celebrate bushu on 27th jan. For urban areas only. You deleted all that. GIVE THE CITATION OF IT BEING NICKNAME BUSHU THEN AND IT'S NATIVE NAME BEING BISU Mishimao (talk) 23:57, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

Again, if you look at the history it was changed from bushu to busu in 2021 by shyamal bodosa. The previous name was correct, he added all that busu,bishu, Bishow etc as nicknames. Regardless busu and bushu don't have much difference even though bushu is the proper pronunciation. But bisu and bushow name has no relevance anywhere nor been heard by anyone, about citation there is no such citation saying that bisu is native and bushu, bishow etc are nickname. Bisu, bishu & bushow are all misspellings. The correct name is busu/bushu, the original name of this page "bushu dima" When this was created was the proper name to begin with.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Panimur, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and to see how to add references to an article. Thank you. Zeibgeist (talk) 01:21, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Dilao-Tilao Identification

Hi Mishimao, Please don't add modern-day river names to Dilaobra Tsangbra in the Dimasa people or other related articles without having citations/references identifying the same. You may not be aware of this, but in Ahom Buranjis, Dilao/Tilao refers not just to the Lohit River, but the entire Lohit-Brahmaputra river system from Parashuram Kunda to its end in Bangladesh. Read Ahom Buranjis for further info. Also, in medieval times, Lohit/Parashuram Kunda was traditionally believed to be the source or main course of the Brahmaputra, not the Dihang/Siang river as we know today. Hence, the names Lohit, Dilao and Tilao were used for the entire Brahmaputra river. Thanks Ananya Taye (talk) 04:10, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

With all due respect, I would just like to clarify. You have no connection to their traditional knowledge. In the traditional knowledge of the Dimasas, the name Dimasa is associated with river Dima and Dibang. In the traditional knowledge of the dimasas. Tsang river is said to be adjacent to river Dilao. Hence the suffix "bra". But you do not speak the language, so you couldn't pick that up. Tsang-bra, the bra literally adds the meaning that something is "next to tsang". For the Dimasas, when they say Dilao they refer it to the present day "Lohit", as in opposite to this the dimasas can still identify the brahmaputra stream. But I am sure you're gonna be like those outsiders who is going to just misinterpret, misappropriate and mispresent traditional knowledge of a minority community.

Like that one, where one Assam media outlet spread wrong info about the ritual ceremony performed in Panimur waterfalls. In reality only one certain clan called "Mairongma daoga" performs a ritual called "Dzi-thar Dugruma", like once in 5 years. But the Assam media outlet added extra information which isn't even known to us, saying it's done on purnima(full moon), calling it thirtha, stating it as a pan dimasa activity where they come to pray to Lord shiv every year. This wrong information which most Dimasas are not even familiar nor can they understand the meaning, even made it to wikipedia sometime ago.

For instance, the name which dimasas of nagaon still use of brahmaputra is "Sang"/"Tsang", but these traditional knowledge will very often be misappropriated and suppressed. Mishimao (talk) 04:55, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

Another piece of traditional information for you. Brahmaputra river is a sluggish river. It is slow and gentle. While Lohit river is very turbulent river. In Dimasa traditions, Dilao river is considered very turbulent and dangerous. "Nalai lai ning, dzi-lao ni dzi raosabi",it means "Like forever, the water(dzi) of Dzilao(river lao) is very fast", while the river tsang is said to be slower and gentle. But go ahead and ignore the traditional knowledge and refer to what a non-dimasa used to address those location in olden days but ignore what dimasas used.
