Talk:Sikh Regiment

message: Someone has filled the post independence section with irrelevant information. Instead of the post independence history of the Sikh Regiment, we are treated to a very poorly written and inaccurate factoid piece on Sikhs in general. This article is about the REGIMENT, not about Sikhs in general.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.176.2.232 (talk) 20:38, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Post Independence

message: The translations of the war cry in the info box and in the body text differ slightly. Although they are probably both quite valid, one of them should be changed to make the article internally consistent. Epeeist smudge 13:11, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  War Cry Translation 

message: There have been some discussions on fr: about this article. It is clear that the battle of Saragarhi is probably never mentioned in French schools nowadays. I imagine it is possible that it was indeed mentioned "as part of the syllabus on heroic valour" before or during WWI, but such a claim should only be reintroduced if backed-up by credible historical sources citing French primary sources. The other problem is the purported list of eight stories of collective bravery published by UNESCO. While there are numerous Indian sources claiming that the battle is part of it, the list itself is nowhere to be found. Presenting this claim as fact would require that the list were exactly referenced.
Both claims are present on numerous Web sites, but often together and always with very similar wording, and without any additional details. To me, this looks very much like a hoax or urban legend, fabricated to bolster the significance of the battle and picked up because it flatters Indian nationalism. _R_ (talk) 11:40, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Strong claims, weak sources 

message: Someone put a tag on "Sikh Rajputs" article that it will be deleted in five days etc., this article can not be deleted as Sikh Rajputs exist and most claims made in the article are true as well known to local Indians in Punjab only the need is that some interested and knowledgeable editors with access to proper history books etc. can eventually come forward and develop the article properly in time, quoting credible sources. Foreign born and raised editors with no direct local Indian knowledge are requested not to vandalize it as per their own fastly held thoughts and beliefs.
Thanks

message: This article is one of the multiple articles continuously targeted by the various sockpuppets of . This sock master is an SPA who adds OR and unsourced puffery about Saini caste. They also either blank well-sourced content about Jat Sikhs or replace it with OR/misrepresentations. And their latest suspected sock puppet is editing in the same vein: . I will file an SPI about the latest suspect in a day or two, but the purpose of mentioning this here is to give an idea of the similar disruption happening at multiple articles. 
Anyway, the Sikh Regiment is a "single class" regiment. Its soldiers are recruited from Jat Sikhs. And this detail is covered in multiple scholarly/academic sources, e.g. 
*
:
*
:
*
:
And this is happening since the British Raj era:
*
:
Regarding the sources added by the aforementioned editors, they added a fake source with this edit: the source doesn't mention regiment anywhere, let alone details of recruitment. In this edit, they seem to have copy-pasted content from somewhere regarding the recruitment of sportsmen under the Unit Headquarters Quota, in which wards/brothers of the regiment's (ex)servicemen are selected. As explained in the Priority for Enrolment section at the Indian Army's official site, this quota is for the kins of those who have already served or are serving in the regiment, i.e. they would be Jat Sikhs in the case of combat troops and non-Jat Sikhs in the case of officers. Note that we are supposed to sum up the information from the reliable and independent source, rather than trying to WP:SYNTHESIS details like this. But I am doing this just for clarity. Anyway, with this edit, they provided some reference with a fake article title. And with this edit, they provided yet another fake ref. This is all that I could find among their recent disruption. So I will replace the misrepresented/OR details with well-sourced content. - NitinMlk (talk) 23:47, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recent disruption 

message: Around two months ago, a good-faith editor restored a version from 2019 with this edit. They restored this version from 4 March 2019 (see here). That edit blanked the whole History section and various other seemingly sourced details, although I haven't cross-checked the two years of intervening edits. So, , was it a mistake? Did you check all the content added between 4 March 2019 and 23 April 2021? If not, then it would be better to restore this version, i.e. the version preceding your this edit. You can then remove the unsourced details if you want. BTW, I will also try to fix this article whenever I will get some time. Thanks. - NitinMlk (talk) 00:07, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
