GurudwaraGurdwara — Alright. It seems that this article is somewhat confused, the lead spelling being Gurdwara and the Article title Gurudwara. It seems this article was originally created under the name Gurdwara, and was moved to gurudwara by the user Lucky009 in August 2008. Gurdwara has a slight lead in google searches of gurudwara, and the article was originally at "Visiting a Gurdwara", it seems, so I believe the article should be moved back to Gurdwara. Gurdwara has a lead of about 10-6 over Gurudwara in a Google News search, and is used by some, but not all official Sikh organisations.

  • Support It appears to be spelled as Gurdwara all over Wikipedia, including in this article. If it really is wrong, it should be changed everywhere, but right now it appears to make more sense to move this back to Gurdwara for consistency. Propaniac (talk) 15:40, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    • It should be changed because from what I know, it is wrong. The reason that a Gurudwara is called a Gurudwara is because when translated, the word roughly means "God's house" vs Gurdwara does not mean anything, but is almost a slang that the generation of today has started using when reffering to a Gurudwara.Gkpan (talk) 01:19, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Temple?

Gurdwaras aren't temples. The definition of a temple is a place where offerings and sacrifices are made to a higher deity. No offerings are made in the Gurdwara. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.43.28.98 (talk) 14:38, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Laird of Luton....

...I'm rather surprised to learn that there's a Bedfordshire in Scotland, as one of the image captions seems to suggest.... 82.5.68.95 (talk) 15:51, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
