Please change Thirteeth to Thirteenth in "He was the thirteeth jathedar". Waltertracinski (talk) 17:09, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Thanks for identifying. For anyone wondering, it's consistent with Jathedar#Jathedars_of_Damdami_Taksal. LizardJr8 (talk) 21:19, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 20 January 2025

This edit request to Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

So We only need to add Sant in front of name Jarnail Singh. As he was a preacher at the temple first and everything else later so we should add Sant in front of his name as everyone else does. Sukhneet Singh (talk) 04:57, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: See MOS:HONORIFIC. —C.Fred (talk) 05:01, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My suggestion

Just add "Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale was a Punjabi militant". Even though he originally did not support the idea of a Sikh state, the attack led by the Indian government caused his movements to evolve around the Sikh diaspora both in the Punjab and worldwide.

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 29 March 2025

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

"After Operation Bluestar" -> "After Operation Blue Star" ; the latter version is much more common and the one used by its actual page. Bloonpauper (talk) 00:11, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
