1181224223 2023-10-21T17:40:29Z Fowler&fowler Reverted [[WP:AGF|good faith]] edits by [[Special:Contributions/The wisest fool in Christendom|The wisest fool in Christendom]] ([[User talk:The wisest fool in Christendom|talk]]): I'm sorry, but when you have four primary sources and hurriedly add one secondary source after my reverts, the article does rely mostly on primary sources. I should know, I've written a large number of British Empire in South Asia related articles.
1181223792 2023-10-21T17:37:26Z The wisest fool in Christendom I have removed an inappropriate label which misrepresented the article as being based on primary sources, which is wrong. All the information here is found in reliable secondary sources.
1181223286 2023-10-21T17:33:45Z Fowler&fowler /* top */ The author of this stub has extrapolated the narrow legal definition of today to history-related articles of two or three centuries before. As yet, the stub is cited to one secondary source and a handful of primary sources, which is not really favored on WP. Tagging
