Your Indian newspaper search widget
Hey Tito, any idea how I can refine the results from your Indian newspaper search widget doo-dah? I'm trying to find stuff about Prem Kumar Dhumal from around 2007-2008 but although it says there are many thousands of results, it only returns a list that is five pages long and none of it goes back earlier than 2014. I'm not sure what your underlying index/query method is, but somehow I need to tweak things. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 15:42, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

India articles need fixing or combining
Hi, Tito! Could you please take a look at the articles Bharadwaj Puram and Allahpur? There is a situation there that needs to be handled by someone who knows India. They seem to be about the same place. The article Bharadwaj Puram had been nominated for A10 speedy deletion as a duplicate of Allahpur. I declined speedy deletion, because they are not duplicates, and because although Allahpur is the better and older article, Bharadway Puram seems to be a better title for the article. In fact I couldn't figure out where the name "Allahpur" came from, it isn't mentioned in the text. I don't know the area so I can't tell if Allahpur is another name for Bharadwaj Puram, and I could not find Allahpur in a search.
My hunch is that we should delete the article "Bharadwaj Puram" and move the "Allahpur" article to that title. It's also possible that some of the unique information in the Bharadwaj Puram article should be copied into the other article before moving. Or maybe we should keep both articles. Or maybe keep Allahpur and merge/redirect Bharadwaj Puram. I just don't know enough about the situation to do it myself. Do you want to give it a try? Thanks! --MelanieN (talk) 17:31, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
