Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 16 October 2025

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Hello Administrators,

I would like to request an edit to this protected page. I plan to update the content based on a verified publication from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), which provides accurate and authoritative information relevant to this article.

Proposed change: Please allow the addition or correction of information according to the ASI reference. The new content will strictly adhere to Wikipedia’s verifiability and neutrality guidelines.

Source: Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) — [1]

This ASI resource is an official government publication and meets Wikipedia’s reliable source criteria.

Thank you for reviewing this request. Maran125606 (talk) 12:05, 16 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Maran125606. This is how edit requests work: you write some text that you would like us to add to this article (or delete, or change), and you state your source, the publication from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) that you mention. You also state very clearly where this text should be added, preferably using the format of the edit-request template. Then an editor comes along and decides if they will do this edit, or not. I'll close this edit request as answered, but please feel free to make a new, proper, edit request! Lova Falk (talk) 13:58, 16 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal with Krishnagiri Fort and Rajagiri Fort

As far as I can tell after doing research for the former, Krishnagiri Fort and Rajagiri Fort lack a lot of secondary sources covering them on their own. Not an Indian military history expert, but it seems like the content of those articles should merge into this one.

I'm not quite extended-confirmed yet, so consider this as well a quiet edit request for someone to add the appropriate banner onto this article, or to just carry out this merge. Altoids0 (talk) 06:49, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
