Notification of discretionary sanctions

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Bodo-Kachari and Mech

I have reverted your edits in Bodo-Kachari people on Mech language because the sources are not reliable—one is a government website written by non-experts (with additional information that are clearly wrong) and the other is an article in a predatory journal. Linguists like Jacquesson also do not frontally address the issue. They do at times say that Mech is similar to Boro but also mention them separately. We have to wait for the linguists to say definitely what Mech language is. But it is good to remember that there are many different issues involved here, political as well as sociolinguistics. So it is right to just wait till a reliable source says something definite. Chaipau (talk) 11:53, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted your changes in Mech people for the same reason. It is best to wait for reliable sources on this. Chaipau (talk) 12:38, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please use Ethnologue and Glottolog to determine the status of Mech. But be careful that Boro is associated with the Boro people whereas the Mech is more diffuse and covers a wide range geographically. So is the Mech spoken in Nepal same as Boro or is it more/less different than Boro is from Dimasa? Some of these answers are probably not available but we should be sensitive to them. Chaipau (talk) 13:23, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Chaipau: Thanks a lot to clear my doubts! I have emailed linguist Toulmin and requested him to look into this matter as soon as possible. If the Mech people have a language of their own, they should definitely get the right to counter the claims of the Boro people (of it being a dialect of Boro language). I hope that this problem gets solved soon. Mahakaal2003 (talk) 03:25, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Recently, we are facing another issue. The Assam Legislative Assembly has passed a bill to create a welfare council for the Boro people living outside BTAD. But, it has been named Bodo Kachari Bodo Kachari Welfare Autonomous Council. It would be very confusing for others to find out whether the Government is talking about the Boro people or the greater Bodo-Kachari group of the Tibeto-Burman family. What should we do? Should we create a disambiguation page? Mahakaal2003 (talk) 03:35, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• You could get in touch with linguists who are working on Tibeto-Burman languages too.
• No, we do not need to disambiguate. It will be understood that Bodo Kachari in BKWAC means Boro Kachari, as given in the census.
