Simroungarh and Tirhuta

My inputs about Tirhuta script writings carved on stones found by Department of Archaeology in Simroungarh of Nepal has strangely been reverted by Jakichandan despite being fully cited. The research article about the carved stones in addition to the picture of the writings is available in this pdf Journal called "Ancient Nepal volume 135" published by Department of Archaeology in Nepal.^[1]Scyfie (talk) 19:31, 28 January 2018 (UTC)Scyfie[reply]

@Scyfie: I have replied on my talk page. Please keep the discussion at one place, it would be convenient. Thanks. Jakichandan (talk) 02:26, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please help us document the differences between the Mithilakshar script and the Bengali script.. This info is needed for the process of inclusion in Unicode.. GerardM (talk) 22:26, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strange that the article does not mention the word Bengali! —Tamfang (talk) 08:01, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Preferred name for the script

This script is known as both Mithilakshar and Tirhuta. Is there more preference for one name over the other? This script should be registered with ISO 15924 (http://unicode.org/iso15924/). For this purpose, a preferred name should be established. Is Tirhuta the oldest name? Sarayuparin (talk) 23:56, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Move page to "Tirhuta"

I think this page should be moved to Tirhuta and the current redirect from Tirhuta should be moved to this page. The reason is that Tirhuta is the more traditional name for the script. Second, the script is being proposed for encoding in Unicode as 'TIrhuta'. Once Tirhuta is encoded in Unicode, it would make sense to use that name in reference to the script.

Requested move

The result of the move request was: Page moved. The redirect at the requested destination had already been deleted.-- Hadal (talk) 21:02, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mithilakshar → Tirhuta – Move from 'Mithilakshar' to 'Tirhuta' to align default name of script with the name ('Tirhuta') for the proposed Unicode block for the script. Currently, the 'Tirhuta' page is a redirect to 'Mithilakshar'. Sarayuparin (talk) 21:06, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 06:03, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed this entire section for the following reasons:

The first link, advertising a font to download (which is what I wanted) goes to a blog. I navigated around it until I found a Google Docs link to download the font. After installing "tirhuta.ttf" I found it had Tirhuta characters mapped to the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement blocks, in no particular order relative to the Unicode standard and nothing mapped to the Tirhuta block. As such it's not going to help anybody who installs it view the actual characters on the chart.
- I suppose I could edit the font to move glyphs to the correct codepoints and produce a usable derivative font file—but that would involve squinting at fairly similar characters in an unfamiliar script, plus I have no clue about the license status.
The second link seems to be an expired domain name.
The third link is a page that's empty except for an error message "Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress." Subtracting "mithilak.html" from the url appears to show some kind of dating site at the root level of the domain.
The fourth link is an empty gray Google Docs screen with the words "No preview available."
