A monastery or over a hundred monasteries at Ayodhya?

The 'Gupta period' section mentions Xuanzang has described only one monastery at Ayodhya but the main page on Xuanzang mentions, Ayodhya had over a hundred monasteries.^[1] Could someone settle this? Tamir Nazir (talk) 07:55, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ahistorical Claims of "historical Saketa" and "Babri Mosque"

Highly likely violation of Wikipedia policy on neutrality and neutral tone. There is no primary source evidence for the obscurantist claim that it was historically known as Saketa, which projects a temporary designation as original. It also against explicit evidence (both archaeological and historical) and judicial rulings on the matter, conflating claims by current history writers with evidence. There is no historical evidence for a "Babri Mosque", the structure was historically referred to as "Masjid-e-Janmasthan", the term Babri Mosque is a post-independence invention. Usage of the term "Hindu mob" along with "Mughal Emperor", Babur and no other "mughal" identified as Mughal, is also extremely misleading. 2600:2B00:724A:4200:40D:CD4A:7252:1B3F (talk) 19:24, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Contentious Page Policy Violation

"Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator". Given the contentiousness of the topic and edit protections, the editors and administrators have all seriously failed to adhere to purpose of Wikipedia as an accurate Encyclopedia, unless they were adhering to Islamist and left wing activist CEO Katherine Maher's stated purpose and hostility to truth. 2600:2B00:724A:4200:40D:CD4A:7252:1B3F (talk) 19:26, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
