Reversion by ZDRX — ECR dispute

I am disputing the reversion made at 16:01, 7 June 2026 citing ECR violation. The removed content was supported by the following reliable sources:

• Narasimhan et al. (2019). Science. doi:10.1126/science.aat7487
• Moorjani et al. (2013). American Journal of Human Genetics. doi:10.1016/j.ajhg.2013.07.006
• Wilder (1999). Oxford University Press
• Jones (2003). Oxford University Press
• Anthony (2007). Princeton University Press
• Rapson ed. (1922). Cambridge University Press
• Dawn newspaper (WP:RS compliant)
• The Express Tribune (WP:RS compliant)

Per WP:BURDEN, the editor reverting sourced content must identify which specific source fails WP:RS and provide a counter-source. A blanket ECR reversion without identifying the precise unreliable source does not meet this standard.

I am requesting ZDRX explain which specific claim and which specific source triggered the ECR concern before any further reversion.

@ApexWatcher You need to have 500+ edits to edit caste related subsection. I have already left you a notice on your talk page. THEZDRX _{(User) | (Contact)} 16:17, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

Editorial note for reviewers — please read before editing

This article draws on four tiers of sourcing. Any reversion of content must identify which specific claim lacks sourcing and propose an alternative reliable source. Blanket reversions citing WP:ECR without identifying the precise unreliable source will be challenged at WP:RSN.

Tier 1 — Peer-reviewed academic journals (strongest possible sourcing)

• Narasimhan, V. M. et al. (2019). "The formation of human populations in South and Central Asia." Science. doi:10.1126/science.aat7487 — used for genetic ancestry claims
• Moorjani, P. et al. (2013). "Genetic Evidence for Recent Population Mixture in India." American Journal of Human Genetics. doi:10.1016/j.ajhg.2013.07.006 — used for genetic haplogroup claims

Tier 2 — Academic books from major university presses

• Wilder, Andrew (1999). Oxford University Press — used for clan distribution
• Jones, Philip E. (2003). Oxford University Press — used for clan distribution
• Anthony, David W. (2007). Princeton University Press — used for Sintashta and chariot origin
• Rapson, E. J. ed. (1922). Cambridge University Press — used for Indo-Scythian period
• Cunliffe, Barry (2019). Oxford University Press — used for Saka description
• Eaton, Richard M. (1993). University of California Press — used for Islamisation context
• Kenoyer, J. M. (1998). Oxford University Press — used for Harappan civilisation

Tier 3 — Established Pakistani newspapers (WP

RS compliant)

• Dawn (dawn.com) — used for notable figures section
• The Express Tribune (tribune.com.pk) — used for notable figures section

Tier 4 — Colonial government records (WP

PRIMARY declared in article)

• McKenzie, Hector. First Settlement Report of Gujrat District. Punjab Government Records, Lahore. Unpublished government manuscript.
• Waterfield, W. Revised Settlement Report of Gujrat District. Punjab Government Records, Lahore. Unpublished government manuscript.
• Rose, H. A. (1883). A Glossary of the Tribes and Castes of the Punjab. Published colonial reference work.
• Ibbetson, Denzil (1883). Punjab Castes. Published colonial reference work.

Colonial settlement reports are the only surviving primary documentation of Warraich clan oral history, territorial records and administrative organisation from the pre-colonial period. Their use is explicitly permitted under WP:PRIMARY where no secondary source covers the same specific historical detail. The {{primary source}} and {{primary source inline}} tags have been added to the article accordingly. Any editor wishing to formally challenge this sourcing should open a thread at WP:RSN before reverting under WP:BURDEN.

Per WP:TALKFIRST: editors are requested to raise concerns on this talk page before making substantive reversions to sourced content.

June 2026 edit request

I am requesting an experienced editor review and restore the sourced content removed in the reversion of 16:01, 7 June 2026. All claims are supported by peer-reviewed journals and major university press publications. Sources listed in the editorial note above. ApexWatcher (talk) 16:22, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

You are not allowed to edit this page as you are not extended confirmed. This includes what is, speaking frankly, a request for proxy editing to end-around the extended confirmed restrictions. You are only allowed to make simple, uncontroversial edit requests. Also your comments demonstrate a complete misunderstanding of WP:BURDEN and WP:CONSENSUS and sound very much as if you are using a LLM to generate content. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 19:46, 7 June 2026 (UTC)
