Revision as of 08:28, 10 November 2006

I have had to move your page "Gurdwara Guru Nanak Darbar BHEL Haridwar" to Gurdwara Guru Nanak Darbar BHEL Haridwar - That is remove the quotes as otherwise you would not be able to find the page unless the exact quotes were typed - Unfortunately, it appears to have lost the history on this page. Either you can copy to your local computer, delete the page and then re-instate the page to start new history showing you as the author or if this is not important to you, you can leave the page as it is.

Thanks to Hari SinghJji. Guglani

Sri Guru Granth Sahib - External Links

I read your comments on the above page and agree with what you have said. Please feel free to add the external links to this page or if you do not feel you can do this yourself, then please copy & paste them to the discussion page & I will link them correctly. Your interest and comments are most welcomed --Hari Singh 17:38, 23 Aug 2005 (Central Daylight Time)

Thanks!

WJKF, thanks for the link for the Suraj Parkash download page. I've updated accordingly. I've taken the liberty of changing your additions to the Guru Nanak in Tibet article to integrate them into the main artcile and it make it, hopefully, seamless. Great pic! WJKF --Navroop Singh 06:21, 24 Aug 2005 (Central Daylight Time)

Thank you for adding the picture & description - This is very interesting and a revelation. I wonder if you have any more close ups of the Gurdwaras in this area. If you do, please add them at the bottom of the article with a description and Navroop or myself will adjust them if necessary. I am most grateful. Please continue with this good work! -- Hari Singh 04:20, 29 Aug 2005 (Central Daylight Time)

Gurdwara Map link to article on Sikhiwiki

Hi Guglani, WKWF

I saw your query of the talk page of Gurdwara Map - If I understand your question, then you wish the entry on the Map system to link to the Gurdwara article on Sikhiwiki.

This works through the Name field on Map system. This field has to match exactly the name of the article on Sikhiwiki. Also, the Space character has to be entered as underscore.

If the two titles are different, then clicking on the name field on Map will take you to a new page on Sikhiwiki. Here enter the following:

  #redirect [[article name]] 

where article name is the title of the Gurdwara artcile in Sikhiwiki.

As an example, checkout the entry highlighted below on the sceenshot of Gurdwaras UK part of Maps for GNNSJ Gurdwara in Birmingham, UK.

If you click on this Gurdwara on Gurdwaras UK, (zoom in to level 7 & find Birmingham and then find this Gurdwara), a small window will pop up as per the screenshot. Then click on the Gurdwara name on this window and this will take you to the article in Sikhiwiki.

I hope this helps - but if not, just give us another shout! Goodluck! --Hari Singh 07:00, 29 May 2006 (Central Daylight Time)

Re Linking to Map

Respected Guglani Ji, WKWF

I hope it worked and it was an absolute pleasure. The very best wishes to you, --Hari Singh 16:02, 30 May 2006 (Central Daylight Time)


Setting up of more Gurdwaras

Dear Maan yog Guglani Ji, WKWF

I am most grateful to you for setting-up more Gurdwaras on Sikhiwiki - They are absolutely wonderful and I am sure that Bibi ji Upinder Kaur will not object to the use of her photos. I will post a message on her user talk page as well at a later stage.

Please do carry on with this great effort and if I can help in any way please do not hesitate to post the query on my user talk page.

I have made some minor changes to one of your articles - I hope you don't mind. Many thanks and looking forward to more entries by you. --Hari Singh 09:56, 7 June 2006 (Central Daylight Time)

Bhai Vir Singh Article

Respected Guglani Ji

Many thanks for your message. Below are my replies - I hope they will help!!

You asked: I wish to link Bhai Vir Singh article in en.wikpedia to Bhai Vir Singh article in sikhiwiki. How to copy paste this?

Reply: As wikipedia is a GFDL/public Domain/no copyright, you are allowed to use this material provided the source is acknowledged.

1. To link using square brackets use the link:

[[wikipedia:Bhai Vir Singh|Bhai Sahib Ji]]


Bhai Sahib Ji

2. To copy & Paste: Edit the page in wikipedia and select the required text; do a 'copy' of the text. 'Paste' this onto the Sikhiwiki page of a similar name. Make sure you have acknowledged that the information is sourced from Wikipedia.

You Asked: I also like to link photo of Bhai Vir Singh, uploaded as image in sikhiwiki from tribune site,to above page on bhai vir singh in sikhiwiki.please tell me how to do this?

Reply: This is very similar to 2 above: clicking on the photo on Wikipedia or other site will enlarge to original image (if it is reduced version of the picture) - clicking right button & save image and copy this to your local computer. Then upload this to Sikhiwiki in the normal way. Again please acknowledge the source.

You Asked: Further in Category biographical and sub category early gursikh personalities ;some personalities like principal jodh singh,Teja singh,Karam singh historian etc need be added ;how to do that also?

Reply: Edit the article ie jodh singh, etc and at the bottom added the category like this:

[[Category:Biographical]] or [[Category:Early Gursikh Personalities]] , etc in double square brackets

I hope this helps otherwise just send another mesaage, Goodluck!! and best wished --Hari Singh 11:00, 12 June 2006 (Central Daylight Time)


Problems with the Sikhiwiki Software

Respected Guglani Ji

I have reported a problem with the Sikhiwiki Software and Bhai Gurumustuk Singh is looking at it now. I am sorry but could you please wait until this problem has been resolved in the next day or so.

Please accept my apology for the inconvenience. --Hari Singh 06:59, 16 June 2006 (Central Daylight Time)


  • Thank you for your message. I have sent another email to Gurumustuk Singh who is at the Summer Solstice until 25 June and have listed the following problems:

    * :1a. Previous Gurmukhi characters don't display in display mode. see Mool Mantra- But if you enter them again,they show in preview but when saved they don't display correctly ie:  ? ??? ???? ???? ????? ????? ??????? ???? ????? ????? ???? ??? ??????? ?. So we need to know if the old Gurmukhi text will need to be re-entered or can it be automatically corrected or restored from old data?

    * :1b. Also previously entered extended ASCII characters don't display correctly see Template:Sikh History - The dot character displays as A., Also extended quote marks don't display correctly. However if these characters are entered now, they display correctly. ie:
