I've noticed that the person editing from 24.81.188.120 keeps trying to "Hindu-fy" the pages related to Sikhism and the Ten Gurus. Subtle changes, including where the Gurus were born, to adding modifiers to lessen the Gurus travels to the West and universal message to both Muslims and Hindus, while magnifying Hindu elements (e.g. in the manner of Hindu saints). I suggest we revert back to an earlier version before this clown changes everything to suit his agenda.

Update: I've traced this user Deepak Trivedi, aka Deeptrivia , who made most of his selective edits in two days - Jan 3rd and Jan 4th, 2006. His objective, as seen on other websites, is easily found with a quick persual of Google, and other links on Wikipedia.

FURTHER UPDATE: User Deeptrivia apparently can't hide his Anti-Muslim, Hindu-Nationalist mentality concerning other topics either. There is a recent discussion on Google groups regarding ARABIC NUMERALS, where Deeptrivia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Deeptrivia) proposes to change ARABIC NUMERALS to HINDU-ARABIC NUMBERALS on Wikipedia (German edition).

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Gamar2.jpg

Image:Gamar2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
