- Hi, could you please explain how the image you added to Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale is in the public domain? I'm almost certain this is a copyrighted image. Nishkid64 (talk) 12:26, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
- That one is not a public domain image either. The uploader does not know about copyright law, and he uploaded a portrait of Bhindranwale that was done by someone else. That other person never gave permission for the portrait to be used by Gursheel Singh, or Wikipedia, for that matter. You can't always trust uploader's copyright comments regarding creative commons. They sometimes unknowingly upload images that may be in violation of copyright law. As far as I know, there are no public domain images of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. Also, Creative Commons images are not considered public domain. There is a special image copyright license for that. Please see [1]. Thanks, Nishkid64 (talk) 15:01, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
- No, I'm saying the image isn't even a creative commons image. The image is copyrighted and Gursheel Singh uploaded it to Flickr improperly. He even said it himself that it wasn't his creation. Someone else made the work, so the portrait of Bhindranwale is not in the public domain or in usable by Creative Commons. Nishkid64 (talk) 15:37, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi
Hi, brief introduction about me I've studied Sikh history for the last 20 years (up to PhD), at the leading academic intuitions in Sikh history and Sikhism - mainly Guru Nanak Dev University. Most importantly (the centre piece of my expertise in Sikhism), I'm very proud to have studied for 4 years under the leading Sant of Sikhism in Punjab - knowledge you can't get from books.
I actually began the Sikh Confederacy article and a lot of the Sikh political and military articles on Wikipedia. There are many things wrong with the info box firstly the map is highly incorrect on the Punjabi Sikh territories and it contains a lot of external states nothing to do with the article. Moreover, importantly the land area is completely wrong (most experts in Punjabi Sikh politics in the 19th century) approximate the land area was a least the size of modern day France. Moreover, Chand Kaur was not a sovereign or coroneted she was an unofficial reagent for 2 1/2 months. The population figures are after the end of the political entity (20 years after), when a lot external migration into Punjab had taken place. In addition, the population figure do not include Kashmir, which was part of the political entity, Afghan territories, subordinate vassal states and etc. Therefore, it is highly inaccurate, wrong and not encyclopaedic and it does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for entry.
I see you have a lot interest in Sikhism so that’s why I have responded in depth but please consult other long time Sikh Wikipedians before making major changes to the Sikh articles. Mass changes without consultation goes completely against Wikipedia's consensus guidelines. If in doubt consult me my door is open to you. Now, I am going to put the article back to the original state, which is accurate. I will consult with my colleagues at Guru Nanak Dev University about a good map, which I will probably add in about 2 months.--Sikh historian 01:48, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
- Hi, I see you are making edits still. It would be nice to talk to you about your Sikhi background (I presume you are of Punjabi Sikh heritage). Please come and respond on my talk page, regards--Sikh historian 04:11, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
- {Hey there. Nice work so far on Sikh diaspora. For the references, could you please add the page numbers that verify the claims made in the article? That would be very helpful. Also, I've nominated your article for DYK, so if all goes well, it should end up on the Main Page in a few days. See [2]. Please reword or fix any inaccuracies.
