3. Short Explanation: We created a Wikipedia page on 'Go-Stop' in Hindi. Go-Stop, also called Godori (고도리), is a Korean fishing card game played with a hwatu (화투) deck. The game can be called Matgo (맞고) when only two players are playing. Typically there are two or three players, although there is a variation where four players can play. The objective of this game is to score a minimum predetermined number of points, usually three or seven, and then call a "Go" or a "Stop", where the name of the game derives. When a "Go" is called, the game continues, and the number of points or amount of money is first increased, and then doubled, tripled, quadrupled, and so on. A player calling "Go" risks another player scoring the minimum and winning all the points themselves. If a "Stop" is called, the game ends and the caller collects their winnings.

3. Short Explanation: We created a Wikipedia page on 'Talchum' in Bengali. Talchum could be characterized as a Korean dance performed while wearing a mask, mimicry, miming, speaking, and even sometimes singing. Korean mask dance dramas are not just dances performed by masked dancers but also include significant dramatic content with masked characters portraying people, animals, and sometimes supernatural beings. These folk dramas reflect the frustrations felt by the lower classes towards the Confucian-literative Yangban, due to the latter's treatment of the commoners, show the life of the common man and process social problems such as monks who ignore their precepts and men who cast off their old wives.
