Hello, There is no connection between usage of rubber chappals and the caste system! There probably is a connection between the usage of rubber chappals and income as they are cheap. But even the richest households use rubber chappals in the privacy of their homes.
As for leather, well most upper-caste Hindus have traditionally considered using anything made of leather taboo - so they'd avoid using leather chappals. I really think you should remove the reference to a caste connection. I know of no such connection. —Veliath 17:43, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
I visited India itself only for a few weeks (in Bangalore - my husband was consulting for Tata). As a kid in New York, and as an adult in San Franciso, I've lived near major Indian enclaves, and have lots of friends/aquaintances/coworkers who are Indian or who had lived there extensively.
My dorm tutor in college was Indian, and his wife treated me like crap (including threatening to hit me) because I was working as a housecleaner in the dorm (as part of work/study - she couldn't cope with all the uppity servants, and eventually went home). FiveRings 16:52, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Mormonism and Judaism. I think it should be split; see talk there, would love to know your thoughts.Kaisershatner 17:29, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
I think that FiveRings has done a great job with the article. I think it also needs to be split, would love to know your thoughts as well, friend. Tigerlilly™ 11:12, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
I recently had edited another article about strange sexual practices. I was trying to look up "Dutch oven" -- just about the only other term I know -- to see what that article said, for comparison. However I noticed you seem to remove the sexual act in your edit for the disambig page? Please note I have not changed your edit, nor do I disagree with it -- but I am close to 96% positive that Dutch oven is also a sexual act. - Abscissa 02:41, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm searching for a citation for one of your contributions to the shoelaces page, which reads as follows: "The shoestring (string and shoe holes) was first invented in England in 1790 (first recorded date March 27)." Can you recall the original source? Ian Fieggen 01:14, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for catching my error. I thought the citation provided pretty detailed discussion, but didn't see the "who we are" thing until I noticed your reversion. Sorry! Kaisershatner 12:57, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
I would like to seriously request that you stop accusing me of destroying "your" article by deleting things just because you have chosen to include them improperly. If you had sources, you should have cited them the first time they were added; It is NOT my job to research for you. I left a LOT of uncited shit in the aritcle so far, but I delete health implications because I feel that without citation, telling readers health advice is extremely improper. As you clearly know, Wikipedia history does not DELETE your work, and if you wish to improve it up to wikipedia standards, it is right there in the history of the article for you to revive and improve. It is not my responsibility to either improve improper contributions or else leave them be; It is your job as the person who added it to make sure it passes wikipedia standards. If you cannot see that, I'm sorry, and I can ask for another outside third opinion to explain it to you, but if you continue to add entire uncited sections that could be seen as contraversial they will likely be deleted. TheHYPO (talk) 22:43, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm glad to see you are starting to cite your additions, such as the cast iron health section. I would refer you to WP:CITE and WP:CITE/ES and suggest that in the future, when citing, you use one of two formats: either maintain the format you currently added, an external numbered link, - but you must add a full citation via a citation template in the references section. The second, and more convenient way, is to use the ref tags, by which at the end of the sentance you add<ref>[citation template for your reference]</ref>. You can use either format, but each article should pick one format and be consistant - currently the cast iron page already uses one <ref> tagged citation, and your new addition lacks the full citation under References. I would suggest that you convert your citations to the latter format, or at very least, in the future, use one of the proper formats and not just a lone external link for citation. Thank you TheHYPO (talk) 23:15, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi, thank you for uploading Image:Many-chopsticks.jpg. It is very helpful in showing many kinds of chopsticks in a single photo.
However, as a Korean, I always cringe when I see that photo, because in Korea you never put the chopsticks on the left side of the spoon. The handles of the spoon and chopsticks should be alligned as well, like this (although usually the handles should be facing the user):

The article was deleted under WP:CSD#A7 because it asserted no notability. You need to assert notability, and it's best to do so under the guise of Wikipedia's general notability criteria, or any of the subcriteria specific to the different types of articles. Please review Wikipedia's notability criteria for companies. I looked at Arrowhead mills and determined, aside from the incorrect article title, that it also does not clearly assert notability. I tagged it for such, and will review it more carefully to se whether the entity is, in fact, notable. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 18:56, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Certainly if you can find verifiable, reliable sources (3rd party, independent and nontrivial), you'll be able to support those statements. You can circumvent speedy deletion by merely asserting notability, but the article may still be deleted under WP:AFD if you cannot provide the sources required to establish its notability. It might end up being a lot of work, but if Eden Organic really is notable, then the "leg" work is worth it to substantiate your claims. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 19:18, 6 May 2008 (UTC)"A company ... product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of coverage in secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject. The depth of coverage of the subject by the source must be considered. If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources should be cited to establish notability. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability."
Everything's still available in the edit history. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 17:26, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi, what is the source showing that the term "mixed pickle" is used in Western (non-Indian) culture(s)? Badagnani (talk) 18:52, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Please take a look at the external link. The company is British. Thus, your limiting of mixed Western pickles to the U.S. is incorrect. Badagnani (talk) 19:15, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey! Thanks for organizing the customs according to factions. How is one to know what occurs in all factions and what occurs in only some factions?

Should the word cause any confusion, following the link to rabbinical Judaism should clear it up. Your argument that "rabbinic" is going to create confusion in a food article, and the unspoken corollary that "observant" somehow won't, is inconsistent. Not only do I find no merit in your argument, I find no resolution in your "fix"... the Qara'im are nowhere mentioned in halakha, so what you have done is to effectively remove all mention of the Qara'im—the people responsible for the rabbanites' institutionalization of חמן in the first place. This begs the question, "Why?" Tomertalk 19:31, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

There wasn't a citation I noticed, for the bit about Le Creuset not recommending using their enameled dutch ovens for roux or gumbo. Where did you get that? I recently purchsed a Le Creuset enameled cast iron dutch oven and read the user manual completely, without seeing anything about roux or gumbo. Additionlly, I searched their website for a caution pertaining to hot oils or roux. This section from the manual itself seems to implicitly allow for the creation of roux:
• The enamel surfaces (except for black enamel on grills or products with a non-stick inner coating) are not suitable for dry cooking. Your choice of liquid, oil, fat or butter should completely cover the base before heating begins. Non-stick surfaces may be used dry, but special care must be taken not to overheat the surface and the pan must not be left unattended at any time.
I'm not trying to criticise; I'm just wondering whether or not I'd be able to make a roux without damaging my pot. Thanks. --81.144.189.119 (talk) 18:07, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
I agree with you that the accusation that she is the first Hispanic justice is inaccurate. The problem is wikipedia is so large and uncontrolable that we have to get some administrators on our side before we take any action and claify with them, otherwise it will turn into a mash of uncontrolable fury and could end up geting us in trouble and our objective going further away.--Jab843 (talk) 08:17, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
