Bharatpedia Meetups

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? @WikiDwarf @Ajay Kumar @Bharatwiki Socrates What you think guy's?? Editorial Oversight^{(Talk with me)} 20:52, 1 October 2026 (IST)

Regarding Username Change and Policy for Multiple accounts usage

Hello @WikiDwarf. Hope you are doing fine. I have some queries regarding policies of this noble platform. My first query is that I want to change my username for which is there any method or I just need to create another account. Second, Currently I only have this single account on Bharatpedia but I want to ask you that is there any policy which prohibits the usage of multiple accounts like Wikipedia. Thanks Aschoudhary9 (talk) 09:39, 14 October 2026 (IST)

Hi, for a username change, please submit your request at Bharatpedia:Changing username/Simple. If your request is related to privacy and you cannot disclose the reason publicly, you can email at infobharatpedia.org. You may use alternative accounts for legitimate purposes, provided they are not used to abuse policies or circumvent rules. Please visit the legitimate uses section of the sockpuppetry policy for more details. WikiDwarf (talk) 10:08, 14 October 2026 (IST)

Hello. @WikiDwarf I saw that mostly articles here are copied from English Wikipedia. Should I also copy English Wikipedia article here or create them by paraphrasing to remove plagiarism. Secondly, please also send me the link to upload images on Bharatpedia. Thanks Aschoudhary9 (talk) 10:54, 14 October 2026 (IST)

As a suggestion, I would encourage you to rewrite articles in your own words, preferably using natural Indian English where appropriate. You can use English Wikipedia articles as a reference for facts and information, but try to paraphrase the content in your own language and writing style rather than copying it directly. This will help avoid plagiarism and make the articles more original and suitable for Bharatpedia. This is just a suggestion, and you can choose the approach that works best for you while ensuring the content is original. To upload images, please visit Special:Upload.

Archive talk sections

I was trying to find your previous archive sections to cite a case, but it was little tricky to locate. I'm going to archive them in the traditional way so it will be easier for other editors to access and read. Please feel free to revert if you wish. You can also arrange and modify as you want. Best regards.🍁Bharatwiki Socrates🍁(📩) 12:46, 16 October 2026 (IST)

Thank you, BS. I manually archived it and moved it to User_talk:WikiDwarf/archive, which I have since deleted. Thank you for handling this the right way. WikiDwarf (talk) 01:32, 18 October 2026 (IST)

I noticed that you're reviewing article submissions. Just a heads-up: we have a substantial backlog of drafts. At this moment, there are currently 552 drafts in total, of which 350 have been untouched for over six months and 96 are awaiting review. See Draft Reviewer. 🍁Bharatwiki Socrates🍁(📩) 04:39, 18 October 2026 (IST)

This is really useful, and I appreciate you putting this together. If you have some time, it would be great if you could help with reviewing drafts too, since admins are automatically reviewers. I'll try to tackle the stale ones first and work on reducing the backlog. WikiDwarf (talk) 10:11, 18 October 2026 (IST)

Hi WikiDwarf, I was testing some admin tools today that use the Bharatpedia API, and it looks like Cloudflare has rate-limited/blocked the server IP making those requests. The API (en.bharatpedia.org/w/api.php) is not responding at all now, and even the main site returns 403 from that server.

Could you please check Cloudflare's firewall events and unblock/whitelist the IP if it's flagged? The tools make normal API requests (not abusive), just a bit frequent during testing. I use my account on three devices, my tablet, PC and mobile. Sometimes my tablet's IP gets stuck as I use apartment public WiFi on my tablet. Best Regards.🍁Bharatwiki Socrates🍁(📩) 10:33, 18 October 2026 (IST)

I'll get it done. If possible could you please email me the IP address to whitelist? WikiDwarf (talk) 10:38, 18 October 2026 (IST)

I think my apartment free 5g WiFi IP is very dynamic, it changes nearly every week or within a few days. I have observed this many times, it shows random IPs. Could you please check Cloudflare's firewall events for today (18 Oct) around 10:00-10:30 IST to find the exact blocked IP? The requests were to/w/api.php. 🍁Bharatwiki Socrates🍁(📩) 10:58, 18 October 2026 (IST)

Unfortunately, I don't have direct access to Couldflare, so I'll forward the request to do the needful. WikiDwarf (talk) 11:06, 18 October 2026 (IST)

Fine, but if possible for you, then please get this API issue fixed on priority. My admin tools (hosted on GitHub) call the public Bharatpedia API, and right now, since 10:30 IST, requests to /w/api.php have been failing. Btw, Thanks for your prompt response, this motives me. 🍁Bharatwiki Socrates🍁(📩) 11:21, 18 October 2026 (IST)

No worries. I've already asked the team to look into the API issue and get it fixed ASAP. Hopefully, it'll be sorted soon. WikiDwarf (talk) 11:29, 18 October 2026 (IST)
