The display of this page (content section) on IE8 is overlapping the icons on the left and the text that follows them, so some of the text is covered by the icons. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 05:29, 2 October 2012 (UTC) make sure to love me — Preceding unsigned comment added by X x x baby x x x (talk • contribs) 05:43, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
Suggestions
I've formatted this using the {{intro to}} template to keep formatting consistent and centrally controlled with the other Help:introduction to pages. I've a few suggestions for other updates and improvements:
- Conduct is a bit wordy. Maybe there's a way to cut down wordcount by 20%?
- Are the nutshells necessary for such short paves? Could they just be lead sentences?
- Somehow "policies and guidelines" feels really dry and may reduce readers. Perhaps there are other main titles that are less intimidating like "Principles" or even "content and conduct" or something?
What do other people think? T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 11:53, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
NPOV is not necessairly objective
- Neutral point-of-view (or NPOV) means content is written objectively and without bias, merely presenting the facts and notable viewpoints of others.
WP:NPOV page avoids any use of the word objective. Actually, the only use is to respond to the misunderstanding where NPOV might be thought of as a state of objectivity.
Let's find a better way to present such an important part of future Wikipedians orientation to WP. Calexit (talk) 23:26, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Bhanot Rajput
Bhanot-s are Rajput warriors migrated from Awadh and settled in Garhshankar, Punjab. They took shelter in the forests and adopted the forest range at the shivalik foothills hence called themselves “Bhan - ote,” meaning ‘found in the forests’. A century has passed and these warriors still have their presence predominantly in the twelve villages originally adopted by them. Though some have moved out to neighbouring cities and abroad mainly UK. They are Suryavanshi Rajputs believed to be descendent of Raja Rama Chandra hence are also known as Raghuvanshi Rajputs, gotra Vaishisht. Some of their villages are named as Padrana, Kitna, Satnaur, Salempur, Badesron etc they proudly liked to be called ‘Bhanot-s’ (or Bhanots) though are believed to be the brethren of the Naru Rajputs. During religious festivalS and main events Bhanots worship their Kul Devta: Baba Balak Nath Ji and Kul Devi: Mata Naina Devi and their “Jathere-s.” Their Queen mother, who committed “Sati” on seeing the slain head of her king, is still worshipped by them till date, even though the practise of Sati is forbidden, Bhanots go to pay respect to their Satis at Bhatpur.
