No, it was an accident. I was going to post a comment under the user's welcome banner i added to his talk page page but i forgot. You have to understand my reflect, i mean how many times has the article and the talk page been reverted over the boyfriend's age? plus, at first, it seemed to me that it was a personal opinion because of "the age of the father is of concern", then i realized that he meant the law's concern, not his. Anyway, sorry about that. -Yamanbaiia(free hugs!) 01:35, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Nepal & Newar

Please accept my thanks for taking time to comment on my edit.

There are many views regarding what Newar means, which can differ depending on background and understanding of each individual. I understand and appreciate the view that you mentioned, which is one way of defining Newar, however you should appreciate that there can be more than one way of defining such a broad topic . We do have to appreciate the fact that Newars are ethnic community. I am a Newar and when someone questions me of my ethnicity, I put Newar down on it. Newars are recognized as one of the native ethnic community of Nepal by Government of Nepal, and please be aware that this is not a new phenomenon. Please refer to website of Central Bureau of statistics which have been categorizing Nepalese people into various ethnic groups and you will be able to find percentage of Nepalese who refer themselves as Newar ethnically, and percentage of people who speak Nepal Bhasa. It is sad to say that the number of people who speak Nepal Bhasa are less than the number of Newars according to official statistical figure of Central Bureau of Statistics of Nepal. Please refer to http://www.cbs.gov.np/. I do have my personal reservations about this data.


With best regards,

Kushal I am not aware if anybody has done a well designed and widely accepted genealogy study on Newars. I do not completely agree with individuals, researchers or even scholars who try to restrict Newars just as a language group. As I mentioned earlier, I feel that it is another way of looking at it. It is just my personal opinion.

I feel that people are trying to discredit Newars by branding them as "people who just care for the language Nepal Bhasa". I have even come across some articles in Nepali newspapers which have tried to discredit Newar in such a way. I like Nepal Bhasa and I support the idea that it should gain wider recognition in Government offices of Nepal, especially Kathmandu Valley. However, I resepctfully request you to remember that Newars are much more than a language group. Its an entirely civilized ethnic culture, with their own lifestyle, social norms, architecture, religion.....and many more things that a complete society or a complete culture has. A Brahman friend of mine once told me that its only Newars who have such well developed culture in Nepal. What he meant is Newars as a group are completely independent, who have their own group of people performing various professional work either as dyers, barbers, mason, goldsmith, administrators, traditional doctors etc. Newar culture and society must have been quite developed in the old country before unification of Nepal, and despite the effort of past rulers of Nepal to destroy it, the culture of Newar is still well preserved. Well, I think there needs to be more sociological research. In the meantime, I also think that we should learn to respect and preserve this Newar culture which has evolved from hard work of Newars of many centuries. Researcers of many discipline around the world today feel the need to preserve such culture and have been working for it....be it for saving the dance, food recipe, agricultural method, medicinal herbs etc. However, it is sad that Newars themselves do not recognize their own good points.

Nepal Bhasa

I just wish to share some information to you, which may not be of direct relevance here. Do you have knowledge of use of Nepal Bhasa in places like Mustang and Tibet? I heard from someone that the recent discovery of cave paintings Mustang were in Nepal Bhasa, but I found no evidence of that as the discoverers mentioned that the paintings were in Tibetian Language. Another rumour that I heard a long time ago is the use of Nepal Bhasa Ranjana Lipi in Tibet, though I dont have any evidence of that either. Now if these rumours are true, it means that Nepal Bhasa was very influential centuries ago and that it was used far wider than we currently beleive. By the way, I am not trying to change anything in the article that you mentioned. What I beleive is that there can be more than one ways of defining complex topics. Even sociologists define basic things like culture & group in more than one way. What I feel is that anybody editing in site like Wikipedia must be very cocnerned and is just contributing for the sake of increasing knowledge of mankind. I thank you for your contribution as well. Keep up the good work. By the way, you have not mentioned your location and/or what you do in your page.

Santa Fe International Folk Art Market

What's the point of putting an "under construction" tag on an empty page? Is there some fear that the space will be taken by something else? And wouldn't doing that for somebody who has a conflict of interest in the article be a violation of WP:COI? When will there be something here? Corvus cornixtalk 23:59, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Just put a {{db-author}} tag on it and delete the rest of it. It's not that major a deal, it just seemed a little strange.  :) Corvus cornixtalk 03:37, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

User talk:Kushal one/ETBU

Why this is here? It's under categories same as the real ETBU because your apparent user page is a port of that page, which is how I found it. Aepoutre (talk) 01:56, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I will unwikify the categories right away. thanks. Kushal 03:24, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

First, second

Kushal, I've looked through the MoS pages and CMOS and don't see a specific guideline on the use of "first, second" in the sense of "firstly, secondly". However, I'm pretty sure this is because they're relying on the dictionary definition to be sufficient, not because they don't contemplate it. Search for "first," (with the comma) in WT:MOS and archives and you'll see that people who do a lot of work on featured articles use "first, second" in this sense quite a lot. (Talk pages are of course more informal.) - Dan Dank55 (talk) 15:15, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
