Adding some important information about sea ports

Dear editors, It will be more informative if we attach the list of all the sea ports located and active in the bay of Bengal. If we do this it will be more easy to know about this bay and subcontinent. So please, We should do it Mohammad Ali Rplsc (talk) 07:24, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kalinga Sagar

Here it is written, in the classical India the Bay of Bengal was called Kalinga Sagar. But the sources of this information are not trustworthy. Because Mr. Mohanty gave his own opinion and also Bay of Bengal does not include only Kalinga region of India. So how can we say that? Kushdeep12 (talk) 15:54, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is cited to an article in the The Journal of Territorial and Maritime Studies, a peer-reviewed journal. This is a top-tier source and attempts to remove it or tag it as unreliable are completely improper. MrOllie (talk) 16:11, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Already read the journal. This journal is just someone's opinion. He didn't mention it in which historical source it was written "Kalinga Sagar". The citation is not not trustworthy.And how did you know, it is a peer reviewed journal? Kushdeep12 (talk) 16:35, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It clearly says so on the website of the journal as well as at the given jstor link. MrOllie (talk) 16:50, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly says? It doesn't give any reference of historical books. It is just someone's research paper. Kushdeep12 (talk) 17:26, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We do not require peer-reviewed sources to meet your personal standards, only those of the journal's editors and reviewers. MrOllie (talk) 17:27, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Then why are you replying? Did I ask you to reply? Or I can't write anything in talk page. Even I can give a valuable source. Kushdeep12 (talk) 17:32, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The purpose of the talk page is to discuss. Why did you post here if you don't want people to reply? MrOllie (talk) 17:43, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's why I posted; Group Discussion.But someone wrote "we don't need your..." so I can also write please don't reply. Kushdeep12 (talk) 17:51, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
