I've given him a standard warning notice asking him to add a citation for his material - he probably doesn't know anything about talk pages or our verifiability policy. Hut 8.5 16:35, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks.--Sikh-history (talk) 10:26, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Again, he probably has no idea that talk pages exists. I can't resolve all these disputes for you - for all I know this person could be correct. Hut 8.5 16:31, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Misplaced Pages:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

IP problems

Hi, you and me have a common problem on the Islam and Sikhism. The admin protected the page, so this time, we can actually try discussing it with the troublesome IP and hope that he stops his vandalism. Just thought you might be interested. Deavenger (talk) 23:56, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes, we seem to have this periodic problems with sockpuppets.--Sikh-history (talk) 17:35, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

okay. Since the admin who locked it down I know personally, and he'll be watching the page for the next couple of days while we discuss, and he'll make sure that the IP discusses it. So if we play it cool, the IP might be blocked and we can work on the page for a while and improve it. Deavenger (talk) 17:45, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Don't get involved in the edit war. Just report it to Admins and Spam teams. Unfortunately we Sikhs have our fair share of fanatics.--Sikh-history (talk) 17:48, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

I know. I met Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Christian, and the closest the Atheist fanatics (sigh, we can't seem to get along in peace). The admin told me that if the IP starts refusing to discuss it at all after the page is protected and does what he is doing now, he'll put a rangeblock on the IP. Deavenger (talk) 17:52, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

It appears that this IP is using different means now. He, User talk:90.192.59.43 had thought to add following NPOV sentence into Behzti: (Although uncommon, rape & murder have actually occurred in Sikh places of worship) but then changed your mind and his new sentence shows his association with User Talk: 90.196.3.246 as well. Be carefull. --Irek Biernat (talk) 02:13, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

November 2008

Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Misplaced Pages, as you did to Islam and Sikhism, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 20:57, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Jeff, my intention was not to remove templates, but to revert the text back to its original. --Sikh-history (talk) 09:21, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Can you help in helping to find if there is bias in op blue star article

Hi, I and one of my fellow editors are facing a deadlock on a issue of bias on a controversial topic Operation Blue Star, the summary of dispute can be found at , please let us know your views so that we can solve the dispute amicably. Thanks LegalEagle (talk) 02:55, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

I wish you had given some reasons for the deletion of a reference to Sikhi wiki in my article. Are Silhi wiki articles unreliable to quote? Please clarify your action. Now, errors have appeared in referencing which needs to be fixed.--Nvvchar (talk) 17:34, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't have a problem with Sikhiwiki per se, but if you look at the articles, they are actually articles written from oother refrenced material. Its's like someone asking for a refrence for an article and I direct them to an article where there maybe a dispute. The problem with Sikhiwiki is thatit is written from a POV. I am sorry if I have caused errors, I was just trying to add some first hand sources rather than Sikhi wiki i.e. articles from verifiable sources. I don't thing Sikhiwiki would count as that. The article itself is brilliant. --Sikh-history (talk) 23:45, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Sikh Extremism by User Talk: Satanoid

Hi

Please pay your kind attention to article Sikh Extremism written by User Talk: Satanoid alias His Biography alias User talk:90.192.59.43 (his previous IP) alias User Talk: 90.196.3.37 alias User Talk: 90.196.3.246. His past and new acts have been duly documented by several editors on User Talk: Master of Puppets in several sections. This respected user with extremist ediology was blocked several times.--Singh6 (talk) 08:24, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

He had tried getting permission from User Talk: Master of Puppets to create this article and instead he has received a warning with heading "Hi Again". He has come up with this account after getting numerous warnings to his three IPs, i.e. 90.196.3.37, 90.196.3.246 and 90.192.59.43.

Sikh Extremism means calling all Sikhs 'extremists' which is definitely a POV article. I strongly believe that this POV article should be deleted.--Singh6 (talk) 08:24, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
