Added a source to the first table in the article "Multilingualism in India" as there was no source for the second and third language - Please let that source remain or add it as it is most suitable

I added a source to the first table in the article "Multilingualism in India" as there was no source for the second and third language speakers. The source for the second and third language speakers is http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011census/C-17.html which is given besides the title of the second table. This source needs to be added besides the title of the first table as well.

But you reverted my edit. Therefore, I request you to add this source besides the title of the first table or re-revert my edit.

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kmoksha (talk • contribs) 19:13, 10 October 2019 (UTC) (Moved here from User talk:Richard-of-Earth)[reply]

@Kmoksha: I have done so. The source I was referring to is the Hindustan Times article. It is a WP:SECONDARY source and so is preferable to the source you suggest. If you scroll down to the bottom of the article you will see the chart most of this was taken from. However right away I see that some of the numbers are off and there are more lines at the bottom of the table in our article. Perhaps later I will review the whole thing. Cannot right now.

Yes. Before the data was also corrected by me. I have added that to your edit and added the source to columns having second and third language speakers. Kmoksha (talk) 10:36, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
