Hi Utcursch, thanks for your edits. Truth be told, there is some confusion in the linking. The adding of content has not yet been completed.

Hi there!
For some reason, "Islamic Culture" is not showing in collapsed form. "Pakistani Music" and "Indian Music" are probably much more relevant. Right now they are being overshadowed by the uncollapsed "Islamic Culture". If it can't be made to collapse, perhaps they should all be uncollapsed?
Thanks! -- Sarabseth ( talk) 12:22, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Sir the IP address 182.182.0.181 seems to be sock of the banned user User:Mughal Lohar. There is some similarity in edits in the article Battle of Panipat (1761). He is deleting Ibrahim Khan Gardi again and again from the list of Maratha commanders.

Hi,
You may be aware that Collaboration of the Month has been revived by members of WP: India. For January 2012 there are 2 articles - Indian COTM - Premchand and Indian COTM for GA - Mahatma Gandhi.

I notice that Utcursh did some excellent work on the Ging gang goolie wiki article. Now I would invite you to revisit this article and participate in the discussion.
We, my twin brother and me (born 1947), have during several years researched "Ging gang goolie" (and some various langugage and music versions), its origin, its possible meaning and its road to fame. The sources have been libraries and archives inside and outside Scandinavia as well as contacts with linguists and with the music industry. And of course the web. Our dedication has been boosted by a family tradition to sing “Ging gang goolie” (Scandinavian spelling, same melody) at family gatherings (started well before 1950 with our grandfather, 1882-1960), plain curiosity and a zeal for scientific research, in other words to find and evaluate relevant evidence.
We now want to share our humble findings of this research. We understand there are four main myths? regarding “Ging gang goolie” all over the web. Some have been discussed previously.
I. Robert Baden-Powell as originator: no evidence found (rather the opposite), highly improbable
II. The music used was written by Mozart, 1st symphony: no evidence found, influence possible
III. Exotic place as origin: many suggestions, none seem to be verified by evidence
IV. Meaning of the lyrics among others indecent/vulgar/obscene: many suggestions, none seem to be verified by evidence
Please ref Wikipedia Discussion on "Ging gang goolie" for a more detailed discussion

Dear Utcursch,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and
Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's
Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we
teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community,
and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what
you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community
[[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_82#Learn_to_be_a_Wikipedia_Administrator_-
_New_class_at_MSU|HERE]], where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my
students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training,
motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one
of our students.

will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your

My dear Utcursch! Actually it was not my intention at all to blame anybody for confrontation whether he be you or any other. It was my finding based on the talks with three living persons at the time of my earlier research. They were: (1) - Manmathnath Gupta, (2)- Prem Krishna Khanna and (3) - Ram Krishna Khatri; who provided me rare photographs and other related informations. I can show them to anybody. If you are interested you may visit my residence any time and see them. I have already given very rare photographs and other facts in my book Swadhinta Sangram Ke Krantikari Sahitya Ka Itihas which was published in 2006 by my regular publisher. Even then if my fellow wikipedians do not want I am the least interested to place them before the wikipedia viewers. Hope you would not mind it and excuse me for anything that might have hurt your sentiments anyway.

Dear Utcursch,
I appreciate your effort for the above mentioned article. But I thing the 'Regional Science Centre, Bhopal' should go to an another page as 'Birla Industrial & Technological Museum', 'National Science Centre' so on. As you created the article under the 'National Council of Science Museums' that does not reflect the totality of the museums chain and it is highlighted rather than the main article, better to shift it to a new page, obviously with a wiki-link.
Thanks. --
