There have been attempts to recruit editors of specific viewpoints to this article, in a manner that does not comply with Wikipedia's policies. Editors are encouraged to use neutral mechanisms for requesting outside input (e.g. a "request for comment", a third opinion or other noticeboard post, or neutral criteria: "pinging all editors who have edited this page in the last 48 hours"). If someone has asked you to provide your opinion here, examine the arguments, not the editors who have made them. Reminder: disputes are resolved by consensus, not by majority vote.

This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Kukri article.
This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.

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.

Kookery?

Many in the west say and spell it as kookery. This is obviously colloquial, but is notable enough in my mind to warrant a mention or passing allusion. Mebigrouxboy (talk) 21:05, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 26 January 2022

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Kukri. (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 autoconfirmed 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 {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
