Hi, an editor has been causing chaos in relation to Bairagi matters & I am unfamiliar with the topic. I know you have had involvement with the Ramanandi Sampradaya article and wonder if you can check all of their edits to it, including those prior to your own last edit there. Gupta Ynr means well but the level of cluelessness regarding how this place works is astounding and pretty much nothing they have done can be taken at face value. - Sitush (talk) 08:39, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Sitush: Our friend hasn't edited since April, so I had a look at it in his place (being however unfamiliar with the topic too). The source cited in the first lede sentence only speaks of Rāmānandīs and Rāmāvats, so I have changed it to the earlier version and also removed the unsourced alternative name Ramayat. –Austronesier (talk) 09:37, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
- Oops, sorry! Thanks for taking a look - I couldn't see the source. - Sitush (talk)\ Sitush (talk) 09:52, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
