@Sutyarashi, you can discuss your concerns here. You reverted perfectly sourced edits. PadFoot (talk) 05:27, 19 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Not a single of your edits was sourced – please obtain a consensus for your changes per WP:ONUS. Sutyarashi (talk) 05:31, 19 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sourced? Perhaps you don't know what the Indian subcontinent is? PadFoot (talk) 05:38, 19 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

You need to read WP:SOURCE and WP:ONUS. Sutyarashi (talk) 06:04, 19 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

I've already read those. WP:RS states that sources are not required for obvious stuff. Also those categories that you want were added without consensus too. PadFoot (talk) 06:11, 19 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Noorullah21 the Brill source makes the statement based on Ferishta, specifically this is the source it cites: Firishta, Muhammad Kasim Ghulam, Ta’rikh-i Firishta or Gulshan-i Ibrahimi, Bombay 1917, Eng. tr. J. Briggs, Calcutta 1910.

Other sources make it clear, e.g see Ferishta tells that he was an Afghan chieftain and belonged to the Lodi family. This statement has been questioned by many scholars like Raverty, Hodivala, Nāzim, Sayyid Sulaiman Nadvi and others.^[1] See also op of other scholars e.g Firishta’s Lodi (or Afghan) is an obvious error for Lawi.^[2] and Ferishta has erroneously written Lodi and the error has been repeated by Sir W. Haig.^[3]
