Western Panjabi

The cited source which claims 60,600,000 million speakers in Pakistan, also claims around 2 million speakers in India, which is why I felt the need to correct it. Why did you revert it back? Also, I had to fix the language family in the box, because it was a bit of a mess and didn't display properly, which you also reverted back. Why? 79.181.112.118 (talk) 14:58, 1 July 2010 (UTC)


Haryanvi wiki discussion

Utcursch, the salient features of the language should be allowed to stay on the page. I understand that you have an issue with the history that was being retold but many language pages on wikipedia do showcase some of the special words or features of the language. So, kindly allow me to add the various similarities with Marathi, Latin, Finnish and English back to the page. We would refrain from making judgmental statements but we must also realize that similar sounding words having the same meaning is more than a "sheer coincidence". 112.79.128.144 (talk) 07:26, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Find a reliable reference that supports your claim, and we've no problem with your additions. As for similarities, have a look at false cognate. utcursch | talk 08:35, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Re:Gujjar

Hi and thanks for your intervention in Gujjar, but must say I take exception to this comment. As a practicing Sikh I do not believe in caste, and never will. It is Hindu Varna that believes in caste and if sources state that such and such group are such and such status, then so be it. This includes my own group Jat. So in future, please be mindful of such comments. I find them thoroughly hurtful. Regards--Sikh-History 22:10, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

regarding hindi and urdu

if you cannot understand the simple points i made about urdu being a derived language of hindi and copying all of hindi's syntax, structure and grammar, i guess it simply means you have an extremely reduced mental function. urdu cannot exist without using hindi's grammar, structure and syntax which is sanskrit based. hindi can exist independently without persian words. urdu cannot exist without hindi. urdu is simply addition of persian words to hindi and is written in arabic script. addition of latin words to english will not make english as latin. doctors use many latin words but the language they use is called english and not latin!!! and i do not have the inclination to edit this project/waste time which makes people like you administrators! I guess you have regressive political bias issues which prevents you from functioning in an intelligent manner which is recognizing and appreciating the TRUTH. Adios. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hindisudharak (talk • contribs) 11:46, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

"Ghalloghara" and Saffron terror

Regarding your edits to [1], there are other problems too, like linking to the racist film Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom[2], and related WP:SYN problems in Saffron Terror[3].117.194.198.217 (talk) 07:41, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Dear administrator, I am seeing a little challenge here. This anon is deleting 1, 2, 3 huge chunk of information for no reason. It is a clear wp:vandalism, wp:pov pushing and probably way more... I hope you could intervene to save referenced wikipedia information...--DawnOfTheBlood (talk) 07:52, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
I am in favor of expanding the article, but the text removed by the anon is synthesis of various articles without any references for the use of the term "Hindu terrorism" to describe the incidents. Besides, much of the text is copy-pasted from other sources (e.g. ToI). For resolving the disputes, I encourage both of you to have a look at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution. utcursch | talk 07:55, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
Please see WP:NOR. Linking a bunch of incidents in India (like Babri Masjid, Christian conflicts etc.) to alleged Saffron terror without attributable sources is a massive violation of several wp policies. Furthermore, wikipedia is not about "The truth", it's about verifiability.117.194.198.217 (talk) 07:57, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject India Newsletter Volume V, Issue no. 1 - (June 2010)

Project News

WP:IND Newsletter is back! It's been nearly a year since the last edition, but we hope to bring out issues on a more regular basis now. The India Wikiproject was set up to increasing coverage of India-related topics on Wikipedia, and over the past few months the focus has been on improving article quality. A number of the project's featured articles underwent featured article reviews over the past year. Of these, Darjeeling and Flag of India survived the review process, while the rest were demoted. During the same period, Gangtok, Harbhajan Singh, Darjeeling and Mysore were featured on the main page respectively on August 20, September 17, November 6 and December 29, 2009. Meanwhile, articles on topics as diverse as Political history of Mysore and Coorg (1565–1760), Marwari horse and Iravan were promoted as featured articles, and respectively appeared on the main page on March 25, May 17 and May 28, 2010. Consequently, the number of FA-class articles under the project's scope dropped from 67 in August 2009 to 63 in June 2010. The number of good articles, however, saw a more than 40% increase, from 91 to 130 during the same period, while the number of featured lists saw a 33% increase from 12 to 16.

Due to the recent policy changes regarding unreferenced Biographies of Living People (BLPs), an effort was started in January 2010 to source all unreferenced BLPs coming under Wikiproject India. 1200 such articles were identified initially and more were added to the list later. Due to the sourcing effort, the number of Indian unreferenced BLPs is down to 565 currently. During February-April 2010, There was a large scale disruption of Kerala related articles by a Thrissur based IP vandal. Editing from a dynamic IP BSNL connection, the vandal changed dates of birth, death and ages of a number of Malayalam and Tamil film actors. Later he added a few international biographies to his list. He also marked some living people like Arvind Swamy as dead. A month long range block was imposed on his IP range two times and each time he came back to vandalise dates once the block expired. Currently the range has been blocked for three months till September 11, 2010.
