message: Please do not use this article to get into a discussion on the theories on Etymology of Assam, please use the article created for that purpose.  Chaipau (talk) 22:06, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, i invite you to do so, 'Etymology of Assam' was prepared by you as per many previous discussions, and here you get its reflection only. Reply, if you want there. Thanks. भास्कर् Bhagawati Speak 09:03, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The explanation that the origin of the name Assam is in Sanskrit has been rejected by Edward Gait in History of Assam. Chaipau (talk) 10:06, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

text: There are two explanations given when we consider the origin of Assam as a Sanskrit word.  One, as "uneven" land, which you mention; and two, as "un-paralleled" Ahoms.  Why did you choose to pick the first explanation and so oppose the second?  Also, both explanation are rejected by Gait.  Since the exact explanation is still contested in this Wiki, why don't we use it according to the evidence?  Do you have any evidence of the use of Assam as "uneven" from historical documents?  Chaipau (talk) 14:22, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Kindly take it to talk:Etymology of Assam. भास्कर् Bhagawati Speak 07:03, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Please do not make changes.  I have inserted two citations from Masica (1993) and Kakati (1962), two leading linguists.  Masica agrees with Kakati is attributing the name to the Ahom people.  Chaipau (talk) 17:01, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I have also added 'Ahom people', it is put forwarded by many authors like Banikanta Kakati (1941); but for sack of neutrality you are supposed to include 'Hacom' too along with other theories, if any. Banikanta also added that it took Sanskrit form meaning 'unequalled', 'peerless' or 'uneven'. भास्कर् Bhagawati Speak 04:06, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: What is asserted here is the evidence that the name is associated with the Ahoms.  In the quote, please note the word "attested".  This means evidence.  Hacom is a theory on how the name Assam came about.  There are many other theories.  The rightful place to discuss them all is Etymology of Assam.  Chaipau (talk) 18:40, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: So, 'literal meaning' can be shown as unclear or ambiguous. भास्कर् Bhagawati Speak 08:59, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: North-East India →  – This is not a new name. The name should be reverted back to earlier as all related pages are constructed this way, making it easier to list in Disambiguation and other places. This way it is more consistent and easier to find. RenZutↂ 05:52, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

 this move above was wrong - it should be North East India, per commonwealth English usage, not Northeast India. Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 09:58, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

text: Northeast is not wrong. Besides, we are only trying to bring it back and revert to earlier. If there is a need for a change, please start a new section and cite credible references.RenZutↂ 19:15, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

message: I moved history dating from 1947 to 2000 to "History." However, another editor reverted this back to current information with no edit summary. See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Northeast_India&diff=prev&oldid=830574163. This should be moved back IMO. Student7 (talk) 17:15, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: This part being referred to '21st century separatist unrest' and others have been correctly put under the section called 'Administration and political disputes'. The header already reads ... political disputes and therefore the change was reverted to earlier. RenZutↂ 07:59, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

message: In this article, geography has been split up into two sections, "Geography" and "Wildlife". I tried to correct this, but was reverted. See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Northeast_India&diff=next&oldid=830913629. 
But see Featured articles: Australia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Geography of India, and the only project with a clear, specific outline, Wikipedia:WikiProject_Cities/US_Guideline#Geography, which is why it is often used for other projects, though "US cities" may not be involved. Student7 (talk) 20:17, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: This is big move. To be true, Wildlife In Northeast India is supposed to be a separate article (pending under my project list at the moment). Given the importance and the breadth of the content, not including it in Geography may be better. RenZutↂ 08:02, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

message: The population numbers given for a lot of cities don't match the census numbers given in the citation. For example, Guwahati, Agartala, and Dimapur numbers are off by 3 lakh, 1 lakh, and 2.5 lakh respectively from the numbers in 2011 census on urban agglomerations. Pease check this and make corrections, if necessary. Kekamohan (talk) 13:08, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

message: There are a lot of errors in this page, with Nagas being mentioned as a majority community and at the same time a sub group within the nagas as a minority. It doesn't make sense at all. We should change this data, and also acknowledge the mishaps in the census. https://arunachaltimes.in/index.php/2021/08/12/how-many-tribes-are-there-in-arunachal-pradesh/ This article should provide insights on what I am talking about
If you don't wanna read the whole thing, I will just provide a summary:
The representation of tribal demographics in Arunachal Pradesh is fraught with inaccuracies. The notion that the state comprises 26 major tribes and 110 sub-tribes lacks official validation, as these names are not definitively listed in any government documents. This issue is exacerbated by census errors, where tribes like the Nagas are inconsistently represented as both a majority and a minority. This misrepresentation highlights the need for accurate and inclusive enumeration of all tribes to rectify these discrepancies and ensure a true reflection of the state's diverse population.
