Talk:Vagindra script

Small comment

Delightful to see this article evolving like this. One thing one would of course want to have is a sample or concrete letter forms, but maybe such things are hard to come by. Then I would also know whether the two additional vowels had Clear-script-like shapes, a question that just popped up in my mind when reading the article.

• Images of charts and a writing sample are linked in the references and the external link, as well as being included in two of the cited books; in the case of one book I can see the chart, in the other it is blanked out as copyright - I'm not sure how much others can see.

Comments on why to remove the picture

This picture does not describe Vagindra script. Therefore I removed it.

• 

Please refer to the following links to find out how Vagindra script looks like.

• Material by Pavel Grokhovski
• Alphabet from an old book about the script: page 1, page 2

Even in the current contents of the article it says Vagindra Script basically has only middle form, which also disproves the picture above. --UjuiUjuMandan (talk) 13:21, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

@UjuiUjuMandan: If you know the picture is wrong, you should mark it so in commons:File:Buryat script.jpg. --Error (talk) 15:22, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

@Error: Sorry I do not know how to specify such information in commons. If possible could you give me a link to related introduction? --UjuiUjuMandan (talk) 01:42, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

@UjuiUjuMandan: The easiest thing is to write somewhere in commons:File:Buryat script.jpg something to the effect of:

This picture does not describe the Vagindra script. See File talk:Buryat script.jpg for an explanation.

Then in commons:File talk:Buryat script.jpg, you can open a section with your arguments such as the links you have provided here.

You can also move it to another category such as commons:Category:Writing_systems. I don't know if this picture is another script mislabeled as Vagindra or the picture does not make sense in any way.

If you want to go a step further, you can try to ask for a rename of the file putting in commons:File:Buryat script.jpg

{{rename|New name|3|your reasons for the new name}}

3 is explained in commons:Template:File renaming reasons/i18n as:

To correct obvious errors in filenames, including misspelled proper nouns, incorrect dates, and misidentified objects or organisms.

You should explain why it is obvious that the image is misidentified.

If you think that the picture is not savable with a renaming, you can ask for its deletion. Read commons:Commons:Deletion_policy but I don't clearly see "The picture is misleading" as an accepted reason to delete. You can try a deletion request, though, but success is not guaranteed. You can ask for help in commons:Commmons:Village pump.
