Concern about this contributor's edits[edit]

@Bhagadatta, AryamanA, could you please check their edits? As I have seen, they have added Arabic script and removed Devanagari script for Kashmiri words. May be the additions are not wrong, but how to deal with the removals? inqilābī [inqilāb zindabād] 15:06, 4 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Lbdñk: The Arabic script forms this IP has added all look legit. I'm sure this is the same person who has been creating poor and unsourced Proto-Dardic entries for more than a month now. I think I also saw a registered user who was changing Devanagari in Kashmiri entries to Arabic, always writing the same edit summary that the Arabic script was the official one for Kashmiri. I don't really remember the username.
We can keep the Arabic script but add the Devanagari and Sharada script (if available) in the descendants section of the Sanskrit entries by using the sclb=1 parameter, as is done in this entry. -- Bhagadatta (talk) 15:28, 4 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Bhagadatta, Lbdñk: The edits seem accurate, if perhaps politically charged. Devanagari is less standardized than Perso-Arabic for Kashmiri AFAIK so it's not the worst idea. I don't think we should be reconstructing Proto-Dardic (at least yet; we don't have a system for them) so I'm just going to delete all of those as they are unsourced and badly formatted. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करेंयोगदान) 15:32, 4 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
