'''Hammiravarman''' ([[Hindi]]: '''हम्मीरवर्मन चन्देल''', reign. c. 1288–1311 AD), was a [[Maharaja]] from the [[Chandelas of Jejakabhukti|Chandel Rajput dynasty]] of India. He ruled many parts of Central and Eastern India from his capital [[Mahoba]], [[Jejakabhukti]] region (present-day part of the Uttar and Madhya Pradesh). Under his, the kingdom included Kalachuri, Nagavanshi, Dahala and [[Eastern Ganga dynasty]]. His main achievement was that, during his reign, Sultan [[Alauddin Khalji]] of [[Delhi Sultanate]] attacked the Chandel kingdom in 1309 AD., but was defeated by him in the [[Battle of Betwa-Yamuna (1309 AD)|Battle of Betwa-Yamuna]] and fled away. To commemorate this victory, he settled the city named Hammirpur (today's [[Hamirpur]]).

He and his elder brother [[Bhojavarman]] were the sons of [[Viravarman|Viravarman I Chandel]] and his wife Kalyana Devi Chandel.

All records tells that the all Chandels and the Chandel rulers were staunchly religious and Brahmanical and were strongly supported and guided by Brahmin scholars, ministers, advisors and they don't do anything against religious rules, texts and brahmin scholars<ref>{{Cite book |last=Mitra |first=Sisir Kumar |url=https://books.google.co.in/books?id=irHN2UA_Z7gC&pg=PA169&dq=Candella+rulers+were+very+often+guided+by+Brahmin+ministers+and+counsellors&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&source=gb_mobile_search&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwju3peUx8WCAxUpTGwGHf5dAAYQ6AF6BAgOEAM#v=onepage&q=Candella%20rulers%20were%20very%20often%20guided%20by%20Brahmin%20ministers%20and%20counsellors&f=false |title=The Early Rulers of Khajur (Second Revised Edition) |date=1977 |publisher=Motilal Banarsidass Publ. |isbn=978-81-208-1997-9 |language=en}}</ref> (any scholar brahmin will never allow intercaste in Kaliyuga). In several Chandel inscriptions and records there are references to almost all Chandels and many Chandel Kings who were afraid to offend against the religious law. The inscriptions also suggest that the rule of Chandel rulers were based on religious text (Shaastra). The Chandels did not want to violate [[religion]] in any way. On the contrary, the Chandels were afraid of even the slightest act being done against religion and religious texts in any way. The Chandels often emphasized the positive duty of following the state through "Dharma" which was the duty of a Kshatriya ruler and every real [[Kshatriya]]s.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Banerjee |first=Anil Chandra |url=https://books.google.co.in/books?id=FV49AAAAMAAJ&q=Chandellas+dharma&dq=Chandellas+dharma&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&source=gb_mobile_search&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi2pMDiw8WCAxWKamwGHccMB4E4ChDoAXoECAgQAw |title=Lectures on Rajput History |date=1962 |publisher=Firma K.L.

It is obvious that if the [[Chandel (Rajput clan)|Chandel clan]] had not received this boon for royal family and their direct descendants, they would not have committed such a big act against religious texts. Even after allowing other marriages, morality of the Chandel rulers and Chandels were such that they had only one wife and remained loyal to her and loved her so much, their wife were also very loyal to them and loved them so much that after his death she herself would commit sati and those chandel ruler who had more wife than one were criticized by there own son. For example, [[Madanavarman]] married 3 women and was criticized by his own grandson and greatgrandson in the inscription for this. Chandels have dynastic rules at the order of Moon god Chandra like;
{{Quote
|quote= चन्देलवंशे कोऽपि मांसं न खादिष्यति, मद्यं न पिबति, ब्राह्मणहत्यां न करिष्यति, स्वपत्न्याः अतिरिक्तं कस्यापि स्त्रिया सह किमपि प्रकारं शारीरिकं सम्बन्धं न करिष्यति न धर्मविरुद्धं गमिष्यति।
चन्देलराजपरिवारस्य तेषां प्रत्यक्षवंशजानां च वर्मनशब्दस्य प्रयोगः अन्यैः चन्देलक्षत्रियैः च वर्माशब्दस्य प्रयोगः '''Translation'''; ''No one in the Chandel dynasty will eat meat, drink alcohol, kill a [[Brahmin]], have any kind of carnal intercourse with any woman other than his [[wife]] nor go against [[Hinduism|Dharma]]. The use of the word Varman by the Chandel royal family and their direct descendants and the use of the word Varma by other Chandel Kshatriyas should not stop after the [[Yagyoapavitra]] ceremony in adolescence. The day these sacred prophecies will be broken, not even the Chandels' impregnable fort [[Kalanjara]] or their power will be able to protect them and the dynasty will fall. The only way to avoid downfall would be to follow the rules I have told you to protect the prestige of the dynasty.''}}
This scriptural love marriage with [[Brahmin|brahman girl]] is not the first time in Chandel Rajput dynasty! Also Varman (for royal [[kshatriya]] family or direct descendants) has also been added to Hammira's name after Yajnopavita and Yajnopavita has been described as similar to that of a [[Kshatriya]] teen by [[Brahmin|Brahmin scholars]], which shows that he was not Varnasankara or Suta (Son or Daughter of brahmin woman+Kshatriya man).

After his elder brother [[Bhojavarman]]'s death in young age, he peacefully ascended the Chandel throne after the Bhardapada month on 12 ravau, Pushya nakshatra, Vikram Samvat 1326 (1288 AD.). He assumed the titles of Rajadhiraja (king of kings) and Kalanjaradhipati (lord of Kalanjara, the administrative capital of the Chandels). The Charkhari copper plate uses the title "Chakravarti Samrat" & "Maharajadhiraja" (overlord or king of Maharajas) for his ancestors. He ruled from 1288-1311 AD. He was great [[Vishnu]] devotee and his sect was Shri Vaishnava of [[Hinduism]], but was also devoted to his Kuldevta [[Shiva|Nilkanatha Mahadeva]]. There were not so many Maharajas under him like his ancestors, that is why he did not take the title of Maharajdhiraja but took the title of King of Kings i.e. Rajadhiraja. Among those who were subordinate, the main subordinate states were [[Kalachuri]] (branch of Chandels) and [[Eastern Ganga|Eastern Ganga dynasty]]. The oldest and latest known inscriptions of Hammiravarman date back to 1289 BCE. And 1311 BC. Are of. This suggests that his reign lasted for at least 22 years. He describes himself as Param-Bhantsaraka-Sahi-Rajavali.

==Against Alauddin Khilji==
1309 AD The Sati inscription mentions that during his reign, the Sultan Alaydina ([[Alauddin Khalji]]) conquered som northern parts of the Chandel kingdom. The Sati inscription mentions that a [[Parihara]] vassal of the Chandels named Vagha deva. who Ruled the Damoh-Jabalpur region, he was defeated by the Khiljis and captured the Damoh-Jabalpur region of the northern part of the Chandel kingdom. There is no evidence or mention of any further invasion by the Khiljis nor of their occupation of the entire Chandel kingdom. Sati inscription, fragmentary copper plate and historical contemporary Chandel texts reveal that in 1309 AD, the Khiljis had captured Damoh Jabalpur by defeating the Parihar chief Vagha deva, who was a vassal of the Chandels. To prevent the Chandel army from attacking Delhi further, the Khiljis started their campaign directly against the Chandels without any warning. According to the Bamni (Bamhani) Sati inscription (1365 AD, 1308 AD) and the Ajaygarh Sati inscription (1368 AD, 1311 AD), The Khiljis also launched a campaign against the Chandel capital from here (Damoh-Jabalpur). There the Chandels also immediately moved towards the Khiljis after receiving the news of the murder of their Parihar vasaal.. Both the armies met between Yamuna and Betwa rivers. Khilji sent a letter to the camp saying, "Convert Islam and accept the subordination of the Khilji dynasty. Be assured that all the Chandels will leave here alive."Hammiravarman rejected it saying", ''You are showing your eyes to Chandels of Chandravanshi Haihayavansh by marking the moon sign on weird flag? Now you will run away from here carrying this flag, only then you will survive.'' The next day there was a fierce battle between the Khlijis and the Chandels, which is called Battle of Betwa-Yamuna). In the battle of Betwa-Yamuna, the number of Khiljis was 20,000 infantrymen and 18,000 cavalrymen, while the Chandels had the number was 10,000 infantry, 200 elephant warrior and 6,000 cavalry. In this battle, the Chandels won and the Khiljis were defeated. In the battle, Alauddin fled to [[Delhi]] after showing the flag of surrender in front of Hammiravarman, saving his life. In this battle, Alauddin neither Not only was he unable to capture Kalanjara, but he could not even muster the courage to attack [[Kalanjara]] again in his entire life. To commemorate this victory, Hammirvarman established Hammirapur ([[Hamirpur]]) near the same place in his name and built many temples. This was the reason that Alauddin could never attack across [[Yamuna]] and [[Betwa]] or over Kalachuri etc. dynasties which were under the Chandels were saved, otherwise [[Alauddin]] defeated 100,000 infantry and 30-40,000 cavalry of the [[Paramara]]s along with 10,000 Khiljis and killed their king [[Mahakaladeva]]. [[Ranthambore]] fort of [[Chauhan]]s was attacked twice and for the third time when Alauddin himself took charge, Chauhans were defeated and killed. Apart from this, other dynasties also could not survive. Even from the Muslim side there is no mention of the capture of Fortress [[Kalanjara]] or Jejakabhukti or Mahoba by the Chandel dynasty by the [[Delhi Sultanate]] during the reign of Alauddin Khilji and his successors. This can also be understood that, if Alauddin Khilji was capable, then why didn't he attack the Chandel kingdom further? Why only small part of the northern territory? Why did Khilji stop only after defeating a small vassal of the Chandels? [[Muslim]] sources indicate that by the late 1300s Delhi forces were moving towards the Deccan, suggesting that they may have captured the Damoh-Jabalpur region which lay on the way to the [[Deccan]]. But this appears to be an empty false statement by historians because, a [[Parihar]] chieftain named Vaghadeva, who ruled the Damoh-Jabalpur region, was a vassal of Hammiravarman. 1304 BC of Salaiya village. The sati inscription states that it was issued during the reign of Maharajaputra ("son of the king") Vagha deva. The 1308 AD Sati inscription of Bamani village (in Damoh district) also mentions Vagha deva as a contemporary ruler. Furthermore, it describes their overlord Srimad Hammiravarman Deva Chandel as Shri Kalanjaradhipati ("Lord of Kalanjara"). The 1309 AD Sati stone of Salaiya village mentions the name of "Alaydina Sultana" (Sultan Alauddin Khilji) as the contemporary ruler. Found in Ajaygarh in 1311 BC. The Sati stone of 1400 AD shows that the main citadel Ajaygarh and the capital [[Kalanjara]] remained independent under Chandel rule and the [[Kalachuri]], Nagavanshi and Eastern Ganga etc eastern dyanasties also remained under the rule of [[Chandelas of Jejakabhukti]] till 1545 AD. There is no mention of these being captured by the [[Delhi Sultanate]] during the reign of Alauddin Khilji or other ruler after him.{{sfn|Dikshit|1976|p=178}}

Hammavarman's son and successor was Viravarman II. Hammiravarman's successors retained control over the Vindhyas, including the main stronghold Ajaygarh and Kalanjara forts. However, Chandel power declined due to increasing Muslim influence as well as the rise of other local dynasties, such as the [[Bundelas]], the Baghel dynasty and the Khangar tribe.

:*::Thank you, Bharatwiki Socrates, for the time and effort you have put into creating and developing this policy. I appreciate that the suggestions from the discussion are already being incorporated. I also think we should look beyond simply regulating AI use and consider how we can make AI genuinely useful for editors on Bharatpedia.
:*::For creating new pages, we already have an AI helper at [[:Special:ArticleWizard]], but its current capabilities are fairly limited. It may be worth exploring a few options here, such as allowing users to add their own API key and use the LLM of their choice, along with a credit-based system for users who want to use Bharatpedia's resources. The tool could potentially be developed beyond smaller assistance tasks to support deeper research, source analysis, and the preparation of detailed article drafts, while still requiring the editor to review and take responsibility for the final content.
:*::The same approach could be applied to improving and expanding existing pages. AI could assist with identifying gaps, suggesting additional content, improving structure and readability, and potentially helping editors research and expand articles while keeping editorial judgment with the human editor.
:*::However, I think we need to be very careful about the potential impact of AI-assisted or AI-generated content on search-engine visibility. We should avoid building a system that simply produces large amounts of machine-generated content without sufficient human review, fact-checking, sourcing, and editorial oversight. Search engines have their own policies and quality systems, so we should consider those risks carefully before deciding how extensively AI-generated content should be used or automated.
:*::For edit summaries and AI-generated replies in discussions, I'll look into what is technically possible and what options we have. Once we reach some agreement here on the policy and the appropriate approach, we can propose the corresponding technical changes and implementation work.
:*::Overall, I think the goal should be to make AI a useful editorial tool rather than simply treating it as something that needs to be restricted. At the same time, accuracy, neutrality, source verification, transparency where appropriate, editor responsibility, and the long-term quality and search visibility of Bharatpedia should remain central. Once again, I thank you for your valuable time and efforts on creating this page. [[User:WikiDwarf|WikiDwarf]] ([[User talk:WikiDwarf|talk]]) 20:15, 28 September 2026 (IST)
:*:::Thank you @[[User:WikiDwarf|WikiDwarf]], I completely agree with your points. I think the purpose of the policy should not be to discourage or unnecessarily restrict the use of AI thats why I've not restricted the use of AI in [[BP:AI]], but to establish a responsible framework where AI can genuinely assist editors while keeping human editorial judgment at the centre.I especially agree that AI could be useful beyond basic tasks such as translation or Wikitext generation, including identifying gaps, improving existing articles, assisting with research and source analysis, and helping editors prepare drafts. but, the final responsibility for accuracy, sourcing, neutrality and compliance with Bharatpedia policies should always remain with the editor.
:*:::I also think we should explore the use of more advanced AI bots powered by capable to assist with maintaining and improving articles. Such systems could monitor articles, identify possible issues, suggest improvements, detect missing sources or inconsistencies, and assist editors with research and updates.....one thing more important, these tools should operate strictly under human supervision.
:*::: 
:*:::Since we have consensus here, I’d like to know @[[User:Dokania|Dokania]] @[[User:Editorial Oversight|Editorial Oversight]] @[[User:WikiDwarf|WikiDwarf]] '''which points should be changed to other terms''' and '''what further deletions or additions of content are desired''' in [[BP:AI]].

== Blanked page ==
{{atop|status=resolved|reason=G7 applies when intention of author is appearing to be clear to get the page deleted.}}
Does G7 not apply when author has blanked the page but only infobox remains? Infobox can't be said to be part of the content, right? @[[User:Ajay Kumar|Ajay Kumar]] says it doesn't apply and reverted my CSD on several pages. I think we should delete pages without any meaningful content instead of taking these things literally. [[User:Dokania|Dokania😎]][[User talk:Dokania|(📩)]] 19:55, 18 October 2026 (IST)

:G7 applies when the author explicitly requests deletion using the relevant CSD tag or blanks the page entirely. For meaningless pages, we already have other CSD criteria, such as G1 for patent nonsense and G2 for test pages. If none of the existing criteria apply, the page can be nominated for deletion using the custom rationale under "Other reason" in the deletion template. [[User:Ajay Kumar|Ajay Kumar]] ([[User talk:Ajay Kumar|talk]]) 20:11, 18 October 2026 (IST)
::Exactly. You can delete those pages under other criteria, or place the relevant tags on them, instead of simply reverting my tags. [[User:Dokania|Dokania😎]][[User talk:Dokania|(📩)]] 20:14, 18 October 2026 (IST)
:::No, that's not how it works. We need to preserve the page history. As an admin, I can't simply override the existing tagging. I first need to revert the incorrect tagging and then assess whether the page qualifies for deletion under another criterion. That's exactly what I did after reverting your edits on those drafts. [[User:Ajay Kumar|Ajay Kumar]] ([[User talk:Ajay Kumar|talk]]) 20:32, 18 October 2026 (IST)
:My question is still the same. Should we take blanking as literally 0 character? Can infobox be counted as content? What if there's a dot or two letters? [[User:Dokania|Dokania😎]][[User talk:Dokania|(📩)]] 20:39, 18 October 2026 (IST)
::I don't think we should interpret blanking purely by character count. The key question is whether the author is clearly requesting deletion in good faith. If they leave an infobox or sources behind, they might intend to rewrite the article rather than delete it. Similarly, a dot or a couple of stray letters may simply be remnants of the blanking. We should consider the context and the author's intent rather than apply G7 mechanically. If the intent to request deletion is unclear, other applicable CSD criteria or a nomination under "Other reasons" should be considered IMO.

== Deleting drafts who has no notability ==

In most of the drafts the case if that it is clear that the subject isn't notbale. Should we bot delete the page in this case rather than waiting 6 months and giving them time? I mean the unnotability issue can't really be solved right? Mostly they are young small musicians or person posting their own biographies. [[User:Dokania|Dokania😎]][[User talk:Dokania|(📩)]] 20:50, 18 October 2026 (IST)

:I understand the concern, but lack of notability alone isn't a speedy deletion criterion, and A7 doesn't apply to drafts. If a draft is clearly unsuitable, it can be nominated at MfD rather than automatically waiting six months. If it is repeatedly rejected and the issues remain unresolved, deletion can be considered, with any subsequent recreation assessed under G4 if its requirements are met. We shouldn't automatically delete every draft about a young musician or someone submitting an autobiography, but we also don't need to retain unsuitable drafts indefinitely.

:*:SURE(: [[User:Editorial Oversight|Editorial Oversight]][[User talk:Editorial Oversight|(Talk with me)]] 19:41, 28 September 2026 (IST)
:*::Thank you, Bharatwiki Socrates, for the time and effort you have put into creating and developing this policy. I appreciate that the suggestions from the discussion are already being incorporated. I also think we should look beyond simply regulating AI use and consider how we can make AI genuinely useful for editors on Bharatpedia.
:*::For creating new pages, we already have an AI helper at [[:Special:ArticleWizard]], but its current capabilities are fairly limited. It may be worth exploring a few options here, such as allowing users to add their own API key and use the LLM of their choice, along with a credit-based system for users who want to use Bharatpedia's resources. The tool could potentially be developed beyond smaller assistance tasks to support deeper research, source analysis, and the preparation of detailed article drafts, while still requiring the editor to review and take responsibility for the final content.
:*::The same approach could be applied to improving and expanding existing pages. AI could assist with identifying gaps, suggesting additional content, improving structure and readability, and potentially helping editors research and expand articles while keeping editorial judgment with the human editor.
:*::However, I think we need to be very careful about the potential impact of AI-assisted or AI-generated content on search-engine visibility. We should avoid building a system that simply produces large amounts of machine-generated content without sufficient human review, fact-checking, sourcing, and editorial oversight. Search engines have their own policies and quality systems, so we should consider those risks carefully before deciding how extensively AI-generated content should be used or automated.
:*::For edit summaries and AI-generated replies in discussions, I'll look into what is technically possible and what options we have. Once we reach some agreement here on the policy and the appropriate approach, we can propose the corresponding technical changes and implementation work.
:*::Overall, I think the goal should be to make AI a useful editorial tool rather than simply treating it as something that needs to be restricted. At the same time, accuracy, neutrality, source verification, transparency where appropriate, editor responsibility, and the long-term quality and search visibility of Bharatpedia should remain central. Once again, I thank you for your valuable time and efforts on creating this page. [[User:WikiDwarf|WikiDwarf]] ([[User talk:WikiDwarf|talk]]) 20:15, 28 September 2026 (IST)
:*:::Thank you @[[User:WikiDwarf|WikiDwarf]], I completely agree with your points. I think the purpose of the policy should not be to discourage or unnecessarily restrict the use of AI thats why I've not restricted the use of AI in [[BP:AI]], but to establish a responsible framework where AI can genuinely assist editors while keeping human editorial judgment at the centre.I especially agree that AI could be useful beyond basic tasks such as translation or Wikitext generation, including identifying gaps, improving existing articles, assisting with research and source analysis, and helping editors prepare drafts. but, the final responsibility for accuracy, sourcing, neutrality and compliance with Bharatpedia policies should always remain with the editor.
:*:::I also think we should explore the use of more advanced AI bots powered by capable to assist with maintaining and improving articles. Such systems could monitor articles, identify possible issues, suggest improvements, detect missing sources or inconsistencies, and assist editors with research and updates.....one thing more important, these tools should operate strictly under human supervision.

:No policy on this is needed. First, we do not encourage making Bharatpedia a replica of Wikipedia. Our aim is to edit and ensure high-quality content.

:*:SURE(: [[User:Editorial Oversight|Editorial Oversight]][[User talk:Editorial Oversight|(Talk with me)]] 19:41, 28 September 2026 (IST)
:*::Thank you, Bharatwiki Socrates, for the time and effort you have put into creating and developing this policy. I appreciate that the suggestions from the discussion are already being incorporated. I also think we should look beyond simply regulating AI use and consider how we can make AI genuinely useful for editors on Bharatpedia.
:*::For creating new pages, we already have an AI helper at [[:Special:ArticleWizard]], but its current capabilities are fairly limited. It may be worth exploring a few options here, such as allowing users to add their own API key and use the LLM of their choice, along with a credit-based system for users who want to use Bharatpedia's resources. The tool could potentially be developed beyond smaller assistance tasks to support deeper research, source analysis, and the preparation of detailed article drafts, while still requiring the editor to review and take responsibility for the final content.
:*::The same approach could be applied to improving and expanding existing pages. AI could assist with identifying gaps, suggesting additional content, improving structure and readability, and potentially helping editors research and expand articles while keeping editorial judgment with the human editor.
:*::However, I think we need to be very careful about the potential impact of AI-assisted or AI-generated content on search-engine visibility. We should avoid building a system that simply produces large amounts of machine-generated content without sufficient human review, fact-checking, sourcing, and editorial oversight. Search engines have their own policies and quality systems, so we should consider those risks carefully before deciding how extensively AI-generated content should be used or automated.
:*::For edit summaries and AI-generated replies in discussions, I'll look into what is technically possible and what options we have. Once we reach some agreement here on the policy and the appropriate approach, we can propose the corresponding technical changes and implementation work.
:*::Overall, I think the goal should be to make AI a useful editorial tool rather than simply treating it as something that needs to be restricted. At the same time, accuracy, neutrality, source verification, transparency where appropriate, editor responsibility, and the long-term quality and search visibility of Bharatpedia should remain central. Once again, I thank you for your valuable time and efforts on creating this page. [[User:WikiDwarf|WikiDwarf]] ([[User talk:WikiDwarf|talk]]) 20:15, 28 September 2026 (IST)
:*:::Thank you @[[User:WikiDwarf|WikiDwarf]], I completely agree with your points. I think the purpose of the policy should not be to discourage or unnecessarily restrict the use of AI thats why I've not restricted the use of AI in [[BP:AI]], but to establish a responsible framework where AI can genuinely assist editors while keeping human editorial judgment at the centre.I especially agree that AI could be useful beyond basic tasks such as translation or Wikitext generation, including identifying gaps, improving existing articles, assisting with research and source analysis, and helping editors prepare drafts. but, the final responsibility for accuracy, sourcing, neutrality and compliance with Bharatpedia policies should always remain with the editor.
:*:::I also think we should explore the use of more advanced AI bots powered by capable to assist with maintaining and improving articles. Such systems could monitor articles, identify possible issues, suggest improvements, detect missing sources or inconsistencies, and assist editors with research and updates.....one thing more important, these tools should operate strictly under human supervision.
:*::: 
:*:::Since we have consensus here, I’d like to know @[[User:Dokania|Dokania]] @[[User:Editorial Oversight|Editorial Oversight]] @[[User:WikiDwarf|WikiDwarf]] '''which points should be changed to other terms''' and '''what further deletions or additions of content are desired''' in [[BP:AI]]. [[User:Bharatwiki_Socrates|🍁Bharatwiki Socrates🍁]][[User talk:Bharatwiki_Socrates|(📩)]] 12:15, 29 September 2026 (IST)
:*::::I think we should close this discussion. I am satisfied with the drafted policy. If any changes is needed we can raise a separate discussion. [[User:Dokania|Dokania😎]][[User talk:Dokania|(📩)]] 20:27, 8 October 2026 (IST)

== Import articles ==

I think an import articles from Wikipedia policy is needed to bring some clarity upon this especially while the question is of using automated tools to do so. [[User:Dokania|Dokania😎]][[User talk:Dokania|(📩)]] 20:25, 8 October 2026 (IST)

:No policy on this is needed. First, we do not encourage making Bharatpedia a replica of Wikipedia. Our aim is to edit and ensure high-quality content. If content is copied from Wikipedia, it must be properly checked as it may contain hoaxes, unverified claims, or bias. Therefore, creating articles specifically on Bharatpedia is highly appreciated. Article imported from other encyclopedia must be checked and user must ensure that website copyright policy must not violate, for this copy editing of copied content is highly required. [[User:Bharatwiki_Socrates|🍁Bharatwiki Socrates🍁]][[User talk:Bharatwiki_Socrates|(📩)]] 20:46, 8 October 2026 (IST)
::Even a negative policy is a policy. Lack of policy is just lack of clearance and confusing.
::It's correct that it shouldn't be made a replica of Wikipedia but imporing some articles like list articles are useful for building web of links. [[User:Dokania|Dokania😎]][[User talk:Dokania|(📩)]] 20:50, 8 October 2026 (IST)

== Bot Policy ==

I think we need a bot policy and a list of bots for ease of editing. [[User:Dokania|Dokania😎]][[User talk:Dokania|(📩)]] 08:01, 9 October 2026 (IST)

:Indeed. It will be done with requirement. [[User:Bharatwiki_Socrates|🍁Bharatwiki Socrates🍁]][[User talk:Bharatwiki_Socrates|(📩)]] 20:48, 11 October 2026 (IST)
:A List of bots is now available at [[Bharatpedia:List of bots]] [[User:Dokania|Dokania😎]][[User talk:Dokania|(📩)]] 10:56, 16 October 2026 (IST)

== Blanked page ==

Does G7 not apply when author has blanked the page but only infobox remains? Infobox can't be said to be part of the content, right? @[[User:Ajay Kumar|Ajay Kumar]] says it doesn't apply and reverted my CSD on several pages. I think we should delete pages without any meaningful content instead of taking these things literally. [[User:Dokania|Dokania😎]][[User talk:Dokania|(📩)]] 19:55, 18 October 2026 (IST)

:G7 applies when the author explicitly requests deletion using the relevant CSD tag or blanks the page entirely. For meaningless pages, we already have other CSD criteria, such as G1 for patent nonsense and G2 for test pages. If none of the existing criteria apply, the page can be nominated for deletion using the custom rationale under "Other reason" in the deletion template.

====Questions for the candidate====
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Bharatpedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:
:'''1.''' What administrative work do you intend to take part in?
::'''A:''' Deleting non-sensical pages, blocking bad-faith users (last resort) and other works as required

:'''2.''' What are your best contributions to Bharatpedia, and why?
::'''A:''' Thanks to the admins, I was able to contribute to many reforms via help desk and Village pump such as case sensitive page name issues, Internet archive bot and such. But credit goes to them who heard my voice.

:'''3.''' Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
::'''A:''' Some bad-faith users cause me stress like Dr. Aviraj and Dr. Editor. I report them to the admins.

=====Oppose=====
#Too soon for adminship. The account is not even a month old, with only 274 edits in the main namespace since registration. There are also concerns regarding incorrect speedy deletion tagging, such as [https://en.bharatpedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft%3ANew_Flats_in_Pune_City&diff=567218&oldid=565018 this], where the user tagged a draft with G11 despite it not being exclusively promotional or clearly meeting the criterion that it would need to be fundamentally rewritten to serve as an encyclopaedia article. This raises concerns about their understanding and application of the speedy deletion criteria. More importantly, an administrator must be polite, patient, and helpful towards all users, including those unfamiliar with the policies and guidelines. Referring to {{u|Dr. Aviraj}} and {{u|Dr. Editor}} as "bad-faith users" who cause them stress, as stated in the nomination, raises concerns about their ability to handle disputes impartially and constructively. That said, the candidate is doing good work in creating new pages, fighting vandalism, and helping with cleanup, and I appreciate their efforts. I would encourage them to continue contributing in these areas, focus on tasks they are more experienced in, and gain a better understanding of policies through experience. Waiting at least six months before renominating would give them sufficient time to build their experience, demonstrate sound judgement, and develop the patience and impartiality expected of an administrator. [[User:Ajay Kumar|Ajay Kumar]] ([[User talk:Ajay Kumar|talk]]) 21:32, 14 October 2026 (IST)
:Is there a time or experience limit for adminship? I am not willing to renominate me again even after many years as it implies selfishness and desire for adminship. I just requested adminship to assist you guys as you are only 6 people, I feel bad. So there's no desire in me to become admin as such.
:On pune flats, Have you seen the article it clearly lists a personal website in infobox and there's no meaningful content. The author is trying to use Bharatpedia as a leads generating website. I value hardwork and genuine articles but I don't think drafts like those should be allowed.
:Please check the contributions of Dr. Aviraj and Dr. Editor contributions and then judge if I am wrong about them being bad-faith.[[User:Dokania|Dokania😎]][[User talk:Dokania|(📩)]] 21:49, 14 October 2026 (IST)
::Yes sir, as mentioned at [[Bharatpedia:Requests for adminship]], the minimum edit count should be 500, and the account should be at least 30 days old. Regarding the contributions of other users, you can certainly argue your position, and I understand your concerns about promotional content and bad-faith editing. However, adminship comes with additional responsibilities, so as administrators, we must evaluate everyone equally and apply the same standards to all users, even when we believe they are acting inappropriately. We need to assess each case objectively based on the relevant policies and evidence, rather than personal opinions about a particular editor.

::I appreciate that your intention in requesting adminship was to help the existing team, especially when there are only a few active administrators. That is commendable, and you can continue making valuable contributions without adminship. My suggestion is to focus on the areas where you have experience, continue doing the good work you are already doing.

====Questions for the candidate====
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Bharatpedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:

:'''2.''' What are your best contributions to Bharatpedia, and why?
::'''A:''' Thanks to the admins, I was able to contribute to many reforms via help desk and Village pump such as case sensitive page name issues, Internet archive bot and such. But credit goes to them who heard my voice.

:'''3.''' Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
::'''A:''' Some bad-faith users cause me stress like Dr. Aviraj and Dr. Editor. I report them to the admins.

=====Oppose=====
#Too soon for adminship. The account is not even a month old, with only 274 edits in the main namespace since registration. There are also concerns regarding incorrect speedy deletion tagging, such as [https://en.bharatpedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft%3ANew_Flats_in_Pune_City&diff=567218&oldid=565018 this], where the user tagged a draft with G11 despite it not being exclusively promotional or clearly meeting the criterion that it would need to be fundamentally rewritten to serve as an encyclopaedia article. This raises concerns about their understanding and application of the speedy deletion criteria. More importantly, an administrator must be polite, patient, and helpful towards all users, including those unfamiliar with the policies and guidelines. Referring to {{u|Dr. Aviraj}} and {{u|Dr. Editor}} as "bad-faith users" who cause them stress, as stated in the nomination, raises concerns about their ability to handle disputes impartially and constructively. That said, the candidate is doing good work in creating new pages, fighting vandalism, and helping with cleanup, and I appreciate their efforts. I would encourage them to continue contributing in these areas, focus on tasks they are more experienced in, and gain a better understanding of policies through experience. Waiting at least six months before renominating would give them sufficient time to build their experience, demonstrate sound judgement, and develop the patience and impartiality expected of an administrator.

Are there any upcoming Bharatpedia meetups or community events planned for editors? Has Bharatpedia ever organised an in-person meetup or conference where editors could meet and interact?

Since Bharatpedia has previously organised online activities like the India Edit-a-thon in 2021, can we also plan a physical meetup for editors? If no event is currently scheduled, could we work together to organise one?

When and where could such a meetup take place, and how can interested editors participate in planning it? @[[User:WikiDwarf|WikiDwarf]] @[[User:Ajay Kumar|Ajay Kumar]] @[[User:Bharatwiki Socrates|Bharatwiki Socrates]] What you think guy's??

== Request for review: Draft:Sanjay Ghare ==

Hi,

Hope you're doing well. I have a draft biography at [[Draft:Sanjay Ghare]] that has been in the AfC queue for over three weeks. It was initially reviewed and declined on 16 July 2026 for insufficient independent sourcing, which I addressed in a full rewrite on 17 July. It has been pending re-review since.

When you have some time, would you be able to take a look? I've tried to address the notability concerns with independent editorial coverage.

Current sourcing:

* YourStory (2020 profile of the company and founder)
* PhocusWire (acquisition coverage, August 2023)
* Startup Pedia (biographical profile)
* Get Latka (business coverage)
* World Travel Tech Awards (industry recognition)
* Forbes editorial column (2025)

The subject is the co-founder and CEO of Vervotech, a Pune-based travel technology company acquired by Constellation Software in 2023.

I understand reviewers are volunteers and appreciate the time you take on this. Happy to make any further improvements if the sourcing still falls short.

== Autopatrolled granted ==

Hi Editorial Oversight, I just wanted to let you know that I have [https://en.bharatpedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&page=User%3AEditorial_Oversight added] the [[Bharatpedia:Autopatrolled|autopatrolled user right]] to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the [[Special:NewPagesFeed|new pages feed]]. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been [[Bharatpedia:Requests for permissions/Autopatrolled|requested]] on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of [[Bharatpedia:New pages patrol|new page patrollers]].

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Bharatpedia's [[Bharatpedia:Core content policies|core content policies]], you might also consider volunteering to become a [[Bharatpedia:New pages patrol|new page patroller]] yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Hi Editorial Oversight, I've reviewed your request and temporarily [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=rights&page=User:Editorial_Oversight}} granted] you the ability to rollback edits on your account until 27 December 2026. You can now use the "Rollback" button to quickly revert clear cases of vandalism. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

* Rollback doesn't give you special status on Bharatpedia; it's just a tool.
* Only use rollback for clear and obvious vandalism, not for well-intentioned edits.
* Avoid using rollback in edit wars or content disputes; misuse may result in revocation of the privilege.
* When in doubt, ask for guidance.

If you no longer want rollback, let me know. For more information on how to use rollback, check [[Bharatpedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback]]. Feel free to reach out on my [[User talk:Bharatwiki Socrates|talk page]] if you need help or have questions. Thanks for helping combat vandalism. Happy editing!

Chicken leg

2026-10-12T04:22:18Z

Ajay Kumar: Image should be in thumb

'''Chicken leg''' is a cut of meat from the leg of a chicken. [[File:Uncooked chicken legs.jpg|thumb|220px|right]]
In culinary use, a whole chicken leg generally consists of the thigh and the drumstick. The two sections can be separated at the joint during preparation.

== Parts ==
A chicken leg is commonly divided into two parts:

=== Thigh ===
The thigh is the upper portion of the leg, connected to the chicken's body. It contains dark meat and is attached to the thigh bone. It can be separated from the drumstick by cutting through the joint.<ref>{{cite web|title=How to Carve Chicken and Turkey|url=https://www.cooks.com/rec/story/69|website=Cooks.com|access-date=8 October 2026}}</ref>

=== Drumstick ===
The drumstick is the lower portion of the chicken leg. It is commonly served as an individual portion and can be cooked with the bone in.<ref>{{cite web|title=Pinas Sarap Recipe: How to make Chicken Neck Tiniim|url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/gtv/magazine/pinas_sarap/95175/pinas-sarap-recipe-how-to-make-chicken-neck-tiniim/story|website=GMA Network|access-date=8 October 2026|language=en}}</ref>

== Culinary use ==
Chicken legs are used in a variety of cooking methods, including roasting, grilling, braising and baking. The leg consists of the thigh and drumstick, with drumsticks commonly cooked bone-in.<ref>{{cite web|title=Chicken Legs|url=https://www.bonappetit.com/test-kitchen/ingredients/article/chicken-legs|website=Bon Appétit|date=1 July 2008|access-date=8 October 2026}}</ref> Chicken leg meat can also be used in a variety of dishes, including stir-fries and other preparations.<ref>{{cite web|title=Poultry Cuts – Meat Cutting and Processing for Food Service|url=https://opentextbc.ca/meatcutting/chapter/poultry-cuts/|website=OpenTextBC|access-date=8 October 2026}}</ref> Chicken stock recipes may use chicken carcasses, necks or backs together with vegetables and herbs.<ref>{{cite web|title=Homemade Chicken Stock Recipe|url=https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/homemade-chicken-stock-recipe-1912169|website=Food Network|access-date=8 October 2026}}</ref>

== Preparation ==
For carving, the drumstick can be separated from the thigh by cutting through the joint. The meat can then be sliced parallel to the bone. Chicken drumsticks and thighs are also commonly served without slicing.<ref>{{cite web|title=Chicken Stock|url=https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/chicken-stock-recipe-1914051|website=Food Network|author=Alton Brown|access-date=8 October 2026|language=en}}</ref>

== Controversies ==

=== Shooter film ban ===
In February 2020, the Punjab government banned the Punjabi film ''[[Shooter (2020 film)|Shooter]]'', which was based on the life of gangster Sukha Kahlwan. The state government said that the film promoted violence and gangster culture. Following the ban, police registered a first information report (FIR) against Dhillon and other people associated with the film under several provisions of the [[Indian Penal Code]], including those relating to promoting enmity and public mischief.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Vasudeva |first=Ravinder |date=9 February 2020 |title=Punjabi movie glorifying gangster banned, producers booked |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/chandigarh/punjabi-movie-glorifying-gangster-banned-producers-booked/story-ymNEdsSz9BmaGy51MmEfWI.html |work=Hindustan Times |access-date=11 October 2026}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=9 February 2020 |title=Amarinder orders ban on movie for ‘promoting violence, gang culture’ |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/punjab-bans-shooter-movie-for-glorifying-slain-gangster-sukha-kahlwan-6258633/ |work=The Indian Express |access-date=11 October 2026}}</ref>

Dhillon challenged the ban in the [[Punjab and Haryana High Court]]. In February 2020, he withdrew his petition after the relevant government notification was unavailable during the proceedings, with liberty to approach the court again after obtaining the notification.<ref>{{Cite news |date=24 February 2020 |title=‘Shooter’ producer withdraws plea in HC against ban |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/chandigarh/shooter-producer-withdraws-plea-in-hc-against-ban/story-4rPdqUbZH6K5RK9vwwfFgN-amp.html |work=Hindustan Times |access-date=11 October 2026}}</ref>

The film subsequently received a theatrical release date in December 2021 and was released on 4 February 2022. Dhillon said that he was pleased that the film had been permitted to be screened and argued that its trailer should not be used as the sole basis for judging its content.<ref>{{Cite news |date=29 December 2021 |title=Punjabi film 'Shooter', based on gangster Sukha Kahlwan, gets a release date 2 years after former Punjab CM Capt. Amrinder Singh banned it |url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/pollywood/punjabi-film-shooter-on-gangster-sukha-kahlwan-gets-a-release-date-2-years-after-former-punjab-cm-capt-amrinder-singh-banned-it-355926 |work=The Tribune |access-date=11 October 2026}}</ref>

=== Copyright-related case ===
In January 2022, ''Hindustan Times'' reported that a lyricist, Simran Goraya, had complained to the police that the song "Shoot Da Order", which he had written, had been sold to Dhillon's music company without his consent. According to the complaint, the owners of Vardhman Music Company had initially assured Goraya that he would receive a 50% share of the earnings before allegedly selling the song to Dhillon, after which it was used in a film. Police registered a case involving allegations of cheating, criminal conspiracy and violations of the Copyright Act.<ref>{{Cite news |date=5 January 2022 |title=Ludhiana: Music company owners booked under Copyright Act for selling songs without lyricist’s consent |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/chandigarh-news/ludhiana-music-company-owners-booked-under-copyright-act-for-selling-songs-without-lyricist-s-consent-101641327064876.html |work=Hindustan Times |access-date=11 October 2026}}</ref>

In 2023, Dhillon approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking the quashing of an FIR relating to the dispute, relying on a compromise between the parties. The court record noted that the parties had recorded their statements concerning the compromise. The available judgment text contains inconsistencies between the FIR identified in the petition and the FIR referred to in the final operative paragraph; the precise scope of the final order should therefore be checked against the official court record before stating that the copyright-related proceedings were quashed.<ref>{{Cite web |date=16 November 2023 |title=Keval Singh @ Kv Dhillon vs State Of Punjab And Another |url=https://indiankanoon.org/doc/93518870/ |website=Indian Kanoon |access-date=11 October 2026}}</ref>

=== Reported death threats ===
In November 2024, media outlets reported that Dhillon had received death threats in an audio recording attributed to Janta Kharar, described in the reports as an associate of gangster Arsh Dalla. The recording reportedly warned singers associated with Geet MP3 against continuing to work with Dhillon and referred to the late Punjabi singer [[Sidhu Moose Wala]]. The statements in the recording included allegations against Geet MP3, but these allegations were reported as claims made by the person issuing the threat and should not be treated as established findings of wrongdoing.<ref>{{Cite web |date=19 November 2024 |title=ਮਸ਼ਹੂਰ ਮਿਊਜ਼ਿਕ ਕੰਪਨੀ ਦੇ ਮਾਲਕ ਨੂੰ ਧਮਕੀ, ਜਾਣੋ ਗੈਂਗਸਟਰ ਜੰਟਾ ਖਰੜ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ |url=https://tv9punjabi.com/punjab-news/kv-dhillon-got-threat-call-from-janta-kharar-know-in-punjabi-2120068 |website=TV9 Punjabi |access-date=11 October 2026 |language=pa}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=20 November 2024 |title=पंजाबी गानों के प्रोड्यूसर केवी ढिल्लों को जान से मारने की धमकी, गैंगस्‍टर बोला- सिद्धू मूसेवाला को किया परेशान |url=https://navbharattimes.indiatimes.com/entertainment/news-from-bollywood/kv-dhillon-gets-death-threat-from-gangster-janta-kharad-said-harassed-our-brother-sidhu-moosewala/articleshow/115472849.cms |website=Navbharat Times |access-date=11 October 2026 |language=hi}}</ref>
