About needs improvement[edit]

Written in the Indian style, this article conforms well with the Indian culture, but needs to be changed so that more general audiences may understand it. Clark89 (talk) 21:07, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article rewrite - Sikh/Punjabi terminology help required[edit]

  • Could someone help with definitions of the following:

Dhaab

The Guru then prepared his mind to begin writing the Zafarnamah. There was no place to stay on the Dhaab, so Guru Sahib went to village Chakkar.

Teg

Bhai Daya Singh Ji asked his Guru that as the Singhs and their families were now parted, what would be the next step they should take. Guru Sahib instantly put the Teg on his chest and said,
"Bhai Daya Singh I have returned the Debt and have become victorious. Singh and Tiger are kings of the same jungle. Singhs should keep faith in the Almighty."
  • Does anyone have more information of the following people:

Lakhmir and Shamir

The Guru then prepared his mind to begin writing the Zafarnamah. There was no place to stay on the Dhaab, so Guru Sahib went to village Chakkar...he decided to stay with Lakhmir and Shamir

update In-case anyone is concerned. I have proceeded with the re-write. As much of the original work was copied form other sources it was difficult to understand without prior knowledge of the subject. Mainly I have removed overly subjective comment such as "tall trees" to "trees". I have re-written the Lead to give a more rounded and neutral understanding of the article to someone who is unfamiliar with Sikh events and terms. I have added a History section. I believe the History section is appropriate as it explains the importance of the site in Sikhism. In an attempt to preserve as much of the original information as possible, I have tried to be conservative with removal of unrelated information such as quotes. I have proposed a construction section under the history section to talk about the development of the site which is mentioned a little in the article later. I have added information so that historical events can be understood by those not familiar with Sikh history. Added to quotes in square brackets so that they can be understood without interrupting the flow of the article. Also I have removed many titles of respect (Ji, Siri etc) and the word Guru which is a practise encouraged by the Sikhism Wikigroup. Any comments or assistance is much appreciated.Tindy1986 (talk) 19:42, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Guru's Miracle[edit]

A quote from the article reads "On the walls of the gurdwara are engraved the pictures of Guru Gobind Singh's miracles along with his hymns". As far as I am aware there were no miricales performed by any Sikh Gurus. Also I have been here and cannot recall these engravings therefore could someone provide some informations, otherwise I propose we replace miracles with acts or events.Tindy1986 (talk) 19:21, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Due to no objections I have made the above chnages. Tindy1986 (talk) 21:44, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Good Practise Question (Administrator/experienced editor perhaps)[edit]

There are many sculptures at this temple arguably they are the main features. Many sculptures may be regarded as violent/graphic. Questions I had were:

  1. How should one decide if images of sculptures are too violent for wikipedia?
  2. Would it be appropriate to include a section under this article to briefly talk about the historical events depicted in these sculptured scenes or should this be included in a separate article?Tindy1986 (talk) 19:21, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
