Winner of the September 2005 West Dakota Prize

A Winner of the September 2005 West Dakota Prize

This entry, one of an unprecedented 52, has won the September 2005 West Dakota Prize, awarded for successfully employing the expression "legend states" in a complete sentence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wetman (talk • contribs) 19:33, 9 September 2005

Devanagari rendition

I have never (and neither have many other people, I am sure) seen the Devanagari rendition (कुकरी) of Khukuri as written on the page (except on, well, this page.) I am changing it to the more common (and correct) rendition खुकुरी .

Spelling over-correction

The Khukuri ..... (also sometimes spelled Khukuri or Khukuri...

Seems someone was overzealous in correcting previous edits.

Why the creater mention indian subcontinent and not county Nepal?

Khukuri is a primary weapons of Nepalese people.I suggest creater to give an exact information about the country of origin. 2400:1A00:BD11:1818:BCD4:231D:5F2A:FB66 (talk) 14:48, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That it is a common tool in Nepal is irrelevant in finding the origin of the khukuri. Do you have a source to indicate that it conclusively came from Nepal specifically rather than just the Indian subcontinent? Mebigrouxboy (talk) 20:17, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There are no references of any similar implements in any surrounding areas of the subcontinent either. The Khukuri has, by all measures, been exclusively associated with the Nepalese people and region. Srsh101 (talk) 05:41, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-{{ping|Drmies|Arjayay}} Hi, it is response to changes made by [[User:Kungfupanda01]] here→[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Kukri&type=revision&diff=1068574020&oldid=1067895178]. Large chunk of content had been moved, alongwith removal of the word 'India' from the lead, without any discussion in the talk page, backed by a [https://www.gurkhabde.com/the-kukri/ source] from ''gurkhabde.com'' which doesn't seem [[WP:RS]] ([[WP:HISTRS]]) [[WP:Independent]] source. Content changes like these would require consensus here. - [[User:Fylindfotberserk|Fylindfotberserk]] ([[User talk:Fylindfotberserk|talk]]) 10:41, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
-:Hi [[User:Fylindfotberserk|Fylindfotberserk]] - Historically, there have been multiple attempts to remove all mentions of India from this article. I agree the reference doesn't look [[WP:Independent]], so I'd be happy to revert that edit - [[User:Arjayay|Arjayay]] ([[User talk:Arjayay|talk]]) 10:48, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
