DYK for Bengal famine of 1943

On 21 November 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Bengal famine of 1943, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after the Bengal famine of 1943 was denied by authorities, news reports with images of the victims in English-language papers made it known internationally? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bengal famine of 1943. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Bengal famine of 1943), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Re Deletion on Indus Valley Civilization page

Your recently deleted the "Genetics" addition on the Indus Valley Civilization page which included two 2019 population genetics studies on the Indus Valley people (I added it back). Was this a mistake? Why was this deleted? It seems very relevant and of interest in relation to the Indus valley civilization and its people. And I'm afraid I did not understand your edit note. In many articles about civilizations and population groups, genetic studies are included where relevant; it seems no less appropriate on the Indus Valle Civilization page.

I removed material that is not in consonance with Wikipedia rules and regulations for high-level articles. I did so as the lead contributor to that page who made his first edit in 2006, and nearly 500 thereafter; in other words, someone who knows the lay of the land, not as an assertion of ownership. This is not the page for that discussion. Please establish a consensus on the talk page of the article. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 14:06, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Personal images... Safe?

Is it really safe to release your personal image into the public domain? I know you might not be living in Somalia or Syria, but still... Do you feel comfortable with this?— Vaibhavafro ^💬 20:32, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

@Vaibhavafro: Nothing untoward has happened thus far. Have my fingers crossed. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 22:18, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
