Please help regarding diacritics in Indian mythological names   Can you please help me regarding the use of diacritics in Indian mythological names used in articles I am trying to find a policy page if it exists on the usage of names that have diacritics in other articles Some articles include the diacritic information when   nonEnglish words are used while others dont mention them This sometimes leads to incorrect pronunciation For eg in this article Vishvamitra Puthrakameshti is mentioned in the section Kaushika In Puthrakameshti the first a is short while the second a is long thereby requiring a diacritic As you can see the diacritic is not used in any part of this article But in this article Valmiki it is used kas Do you know if a policy page exists on this   What is a nice balance between making it simple and following proper pronunciation If I include diacritics on every previously unspecified nonEnglish in this case mainly Sanskrit word it would become difficult to read the article The other extreme is also not very desirable  Thanks a lot
