[edit] Sources
Hi. I see you have added a lot of information to Punjab (India). The information may be good information but you have to give a way for other users to check the information. If not it can be more easily removed since it doesn't have a scholarly source backing it up. Would you please add the source you used to get that information? Wikipedia:Citing sources and Wikipedia:Footnotes may both help you if you are having syntax problems. Thanks. gren グレン 02:26, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
- My main goal was to introduce you as a new user to citing sources. If you don't cite your work from neutral sources another editor can say "that doesn't seem right" and remove it... if you have cited the source where it comes from then it is more likely that it will stay in the article for the long term. Also, the information had to come from somewhere and it's not all common knowledge--citing sources avoids plagiarism. gren グレン 13:07, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Rajput and Gujjar arent castes. They are ethnicities who Jats have much more in common with than Pashtuns. They are thought to have a shared ancestry, do your research. And by the way, Punjabi and Sindhi are two very broad terms. Punjabi can consist of many different ethnic groups.
