message: I just fell over an article at the Encyclopedia of NationMaster. And this article remembers me heavily to that one we have here at WP. So a violation of copyright? - See the source on your own and proof: http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Tambura
So what to do? - Waiting till an admin status checks out... --ElJay Arem (talk) 18:01, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Fortunately, this one is not a problem. :) NationMaster is a "mirror" of Wikipedia. If you look at the bottom of the page, you'll see that they explicitly reference us. Their article duplicates ours from some time around or after this period: . If you look at the top of the page, you'll see that's when the two tags--one proposing a merge to Pandura and one requesting copyediting as of January 2007, where both tags were in place. Thanks for keeping an eye out! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:05, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

That kind of things makes wikipedia less precise.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.143.221.71 (talk) 01:44, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge and Split tag

message: I propose that this article be moved to Tanpura, and this Tambura page be turned into a dismbigation page, with links to: 
* Tamburica orchestra instruments 
* the Turkish Tambur
* the Persian Tanbur
* the Greek Tambouras
* a new article for the Macedonian and Bulgarian Tambura, which is currently missing, but here is the German page: . 
* the Tambura River in Romania
* a new article for the place called Tambura in South Sudan. Again, German wiki has one: 
Tanpura is a commonly used name for the Indian instrument, both on google and other language wikis, and helps to avoid confusion with the large number of instruments that are also often referred to using the name 'tambura'. 
Your thoughts, please?

replies: text: Now Tambura is disambiguation page, but most of them (such as Tanpura (instrument), Tanbur, Tambur) are the same instrument in different dialects, and it's a great wp:Content forking.--Taranet (talk) 10:04, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Content forking 

message: I was reading this article, and it talks about alternate tunings, and I thought to myself, "ooo, a piece with a drone that has a major 7 in it sounds neat", but after 10 minutes of googling I can't find any performances where the tanpura isn't just tuned in a boring old open 5 chord lol. Are we sure this is actually used? Some examples might be good. 8.9.94.89 (talk) 09:51, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It's definitely used, for raags that lack a shuddha ma and pa - see here for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOpmWbRPfpQ I added a reference to an article that mentions it. 45.48.9.194 (talk) 02:17, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
