Reply to Jat Historian

Thank you for your kind note informing me of all the changes you are making to the Jat people page - and it is good to hear from you again! Yes, I am thrilled with the many improvements to the page and, especially, the removal of racist comments and the more extreme and fanciful sections. It also reads much better now - largely thanks to you.

I have tried to refrain from doing much editing myself (other than a few small grammar corrections and the like) because I have been worried about stirring up the previous unhelpful arguments - but I have been keeping note of the improvements. Anyway, I am not a Jat nor even a Punjabi, and it is far better done by someone who is.

I still think the whole article needs much more shortening and tightening up but, yes, I am in full agreement with removing the tags at the beginning of the article (though some of the ones still heading various sections should, I believe, be retained until the issues are satisfactorily dealt with).

You refer again to my travels in the Punjab. I am not sure of how much interest they will be - I never really spent that much time there - and I never tried to learn the language as it was so easy to get around with just English and a smattering of Hindi and people were so unfailingly helpful and kind to me. I was usually travelling from one place to another, although I did spend a few weeks in Ludhiana when my wife was very sick and had to undergo major surgery at "Miss Brown's Hospital" (in 1980) and I have spent 2 or 3 weeks altogether in Amritsar and have stayed several times in Patankot.

I would like to thank you for taking on this difficult and sensitive job - I am so relieved to see it all progressing so well. I hope when you are done with this page you can find the time to do some work on other, related pages as well (such as the Origin of Jat people page). Congratulations, and many thanks, and all best wishes for 2008. As someone said to me yesterday: "May your taxes be small and your joys great!" Cheers, John Hill (talk) 23:54, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism on Golden Temple

You should check what you are reverting before you list it as vandalism. Gsingh (talk) 06:34, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Appeals for help and spam

Re your appeal for help [3]. I'll look into it. But please don't spam multiple editors pages. I've reverted the others William M. Connolley (talk) 21:33, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

First point: please don't use edit summaries like "reverted vandalism" [4] unless you're really sure it is vandalism. To an observer (me) this looks like a content dispute, and evidence of bad faith on either side is lacking so far William M. Connolley (talk) 21:42, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

I will second what William M. Connolley said in respect to both the spamming and vandalism. Unless an editor is fully understanding of the topic it will appear as a content dispute rather than vandalism. One thing that might be of use is Wikipedia:Dispute resolution.

Re; Sunny Leone

I noticed you had input into that article. Could you add to the discussion there? Thanks --Sikh-history (talk) 22:22, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Sir, Me & my friend were discussing about religions. And somehow we came to topic that there should be a point were every religion started and what religion did the person who started the religion use to follow. For example Buddha- before he started he was known as Siddhartha and he use to follow. So the same way there should be somebody (the topmost Guru of Sikhs) who started the Sikh religion. I also need to know how Sikhism started and what the need for starting because what I think that the world will be good if there were no religions.

I also need to know what rules I need to follow to become Sikh ( if somebody want to convert into a Sikh what he need to do).

Awaiting your reply It would be great if you can email me about this. My email id is rajveer@hotmail.com

Disambiguation link notification for October 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited History of the Romani people, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Visa and Exodus. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of Jat states in Rajasthan

The article Jat states in Rajasthan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Poorly sourced. Most of the listed “states” are not really states but just small chieftaincies. Contents of this article are already dealt with in List of Jat dynasties and states hence making this article redundant

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
