Thank you for your work on Punjab caste-related pages. Please do note, however, that ideally you should source the additions of caste data to individual pages. Hornplease 09:40, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Castes and Tribes of Punjab

I'm sincerely sorry, I had the page on my watchlist but sometimes mindless edit wars like the ones on Khatri just turned me off the whole idea of intervening, as I would simply be reverting and reverting. By the way, please sign in to Wikipedia. All you have to do is give a username and password, no other information at all, and then you're in forever and you can do a lot more to save the caste articles. But do you agree with me about removing all the last names from the list and adding only generalized caste categories? Nobleeagle [TALK] [C] 22:24, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gurmukhi

You are right that Gurmukhi is a script rather than a language but the table in the article, South Indians in Fiji is the result of a census and that is the response from 468 (obviously Sikh) households. This statistic was also the reason that ability to write in Gurmukhi was used as a qualification to vote in Fiji in the 1960s. Since the Muslim and Hindu Punjabis would not have responded that "Their language was Gurmukhi", it would be wrong to assume that the total number of Punjabi households is equal to the number who claimed that their language was Gurmukhi.
