Article about a letter of the Sindhi language

I've had a go at creating an article on جهہ, a letter of the Sindhi language. However, my knowledge of this topic is poor, and the article leaves much to be desired. Does anyone here know this topic well enough to improve this article, or can you point me to a better forum for asking this question? — The Anome (talk) 08:43, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Removal of vandalism from article ‘Chozhia Vellalar’

Hello,

I'm writing to ask if it would be possible to intervene on the ‘Chozhia Vellalar’ article to restore it (or modify it, depending on your assessment) to the state it was in before its last vandalism. In the meantime, I've asked to protect the article, leaving it untouched. However, as I'm not authorised to modify protected articles, I can't retouch it subsequently. So the article is still in its vandalised version (oldid=1249691125; contribution by the user Anirudhahalarama). If it would be possible to restore it to the last previous version, or if you would like to edit it again, I thank you in advance.

Asian News International vs. Wikimedia Foundation

I've created this, but nearly all sources were behind a paywall for me, so much of it was created using the first paragraphs of sources. If anyone has access to the sources, expansion or correction would be great. For instance, I have no idea whether that's the actual name of the lawsuit, so I just used a typical US lawsuit title format. Thanks for any help! Valereee (talk) 18:12, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Oh, and if you'd rather just email me the text of the sources, happy to do the work myself. Valereee (talk) 18:13, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
