Talk:Butt (surname)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Sources

This article needs massive sourcing for a number of serious assertions which must be backed up. All of the statements regarding name origins need work. The assertion that all Indian Butt are from one town, and the same for the German version, need citation. The 'earliest' incidences needs citation. The speculation about them being Patronymics needs citation. The 'possible connection' section sounds ready to violate either WP:SPEC or WP:SYNTH. The family motto is unsourced. Please start to clean this up, otherwise, this looks to be headed to the speedy deletion folks. ThuranX (talk) 14:30, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

There are serious problems with a one-sided point of view in this article. The one reference claimed is not a readily accessible one, and lacks information as to publisher or year and city of publication. It is not found at Google Book Search or Amazon.com, and in Google it only shows up as a reference cited in Wikipedia for this and one other article. This leads me to question whethwe it qualifies as a reliable source, due to lack of information about its publisher and lackof its presence in libraries. The constant boasting is unencyclopedic and contrary to the requirement for a neutral point of view. I refer to statements such as "..their scholarship in Mathematics, Science and Linguistics were probably renowned worldwide" and "They have contributed greatly to the culture of India through excellence in Sanskrit, mathematics and science." The article needs some cleanup to encyclopedic language with better sourcing. Edison (talk) 22:21, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] False citation

There is only one citation or reference in this article and even that is concocted .The page it refers to does not carry the quote cited in this article ....the article is about the Bhat
