Very odd content

Hi user named Sikh-history

• In your edit of 21ST November 2009 where you added into this article the following
  

"Scholars such as H. A. Rose , believe that they are descended from the Sakas, the Kushans and the Huns."

Where is the specific reference page in your citation  ??

There is no separate listing of Matharu in any of the three volumes of A H Rose.

On page 457 volume III under Tarkhan - Matharia are listed and not Matharu , .

there is absolutely no mention of descent of anyone Matharu , or Tarkhan from Sakas , or Kushan or Huns

If there is a page that says as you quote ….please mention it .

• I also find strangely that anonymous ids seem to be making very simillar disingenuous content to yours on many pages and categories .
  

I hope you will provide the specific reference page for the citation you have provided .Otherwise your repeated misquotes on various articles is getting really odd .

and your WP:Stalking, WP:Lawyering and lack of WP:Assume Good Faith is getting rather tiresome. Thanks--Sikh-History 08:39, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Response 1 from Intothefire to the user named Sikh History

• But why dont you provide a specific page number from a book you cite ?? ...instead of evasively quoting rules to me .
• Apparently we simply happen to be interested in common topics ...and I am repeatedly finding insertions of content with odd/misuse of incomplete citations by you on various pages .
• You are an editor , and it would be befitting an editor to not insert unreferenced , or phony citations and content as you have done blatantly also for example on the Khatri page which I requested you to clarify on the Khatri Talk page . Your respone there as well "Will take a look when I get a chance" was at best facetious .I could provide other examples as well .
• It is safe to assume then that your inability to provide a proper page no and volume number is proof of a fake citation and content once again.

For what it's worth, the reference to H. A. Rose was originally added by an anon editor Special:Contributions/210.7.132.71 in November 2007, as part of a long series of edits. Although I have not found copy of Rose's original work, I have also since reinstated this citation in good faith when it has been deleted from this article without explanation. - Fayenatic (talk) 14:02, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Fayenatic thanks for the intervention but,Intothefire's WP:Stalking, WP:Lawyering and lack of WP:Assume Good Faith is getting tiresome. Thanks anyway.--Sikh-History 19:19, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

I haven't checked any previous contributions by either of you. Intothefire's tone above is rude and fails WP:AGF. However, on this occasion he appears to be correct on the point of fact. I just looked up H. A. Rose's book at Google Books and can't find Matharu or Matharoo in Volume 1 or in volume 3 L-Z. So it seems that you and I have both been reinstating it in good faith but in error. - Fayenatic (talk) 19:28, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Oh well, such is the life of an Editor, unfortunately, WP:AGF means sometimes we don't delve more deeply into the references. Pk Mohanty's book may be of value here. Thanks--Sikh-History 09:26, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
