Chzz, no problem. I have now omitted the reference and added a link to another Wikipedia article. In any case, the first paragraph was a cleanup/editing change.

 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: Well, now it doesn't have a source. Also, is this supposed to replace the current article? Spitfire 19 (Talk) 20:24, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: The reference was not to the entire text but to the last sentence. Now the same is implied in the link to another Wikipedia page (Adesh Pratap Singh Kairon). Please also note that the current references in the article are dead links.


 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: The current article is meant to be replaced with a text having correct grammar and structure. The first paragraph in my text does not add much new information but moves/combine the sentences so that they flow from each other rather than jump back and forth. It also corrects some dates and punctuation. Aks1977 (talk) 22:17, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Team,

Writing this message to inform that your team mentioned wrong name in Punjab Caption.

It should be ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ਼ ਸਿੰਘ ਬਾਦਲ instead of ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ਼ ਚੰਦ ਪਾਪੀ

Please accept my request and edit the blunder.

With Regards, Bhagwant Singh

Error in linking Perneet Kaur
In the article, under children section, there is one Perneet Kaur. The link opens to a Perneet Kaur who is wife of Amarinder Singh but not the daughter of Badal. 122.171.70.90 (talk) 18:05, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
