Chicken tikka masala
Good day NotJustAnotherGuy. I see that you reversed my edit in the article on Chicken tikka masala in which I restored the article to an earlier version, as assertions were made by an IP address user regarding the origin of the dish that that are not backed up by references to reliable sources, as required by the Wikipedia policy on verifiability. If the dish originated from the Punjab then a reliable third-party source is required, which verifies this claim. The article already has several references to sources - and they do not appear to support this assertion. Please do not take undoing of edits personally - we just need to adhere to Wikipedia policy to ensure that assertions are substantiated by credible and reliable third party sources.

 * Hello NotJustAnotherGuy. Please can you tell me which reliable third-party source verifies this claim "served in India long before known in the UK or Scotland". Thank you. Kind regards Guffydrawers (talk) 09:03, 7 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your reply. The reported opinion of a person with an interest in promoting the cuisine of a locality hardly constitutes convincing documentary proof of the origin of the dish. As the WP article has stated for some years there are multiple theories and opinions on the origin of the dish. So far insufficient proof has been supplied to make a definitive statement on which theory is correct or not. Kind regards Guffydrawers (talk) 10:25, 7 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Thank you again for responding. The person promoting the cuisine of the locality is Hemanshu Kumar, as stated by you on my talk page:Hemanshu Kumar, the founder of Eating Out in Delhi, a food group which celebrates Delhi's culinary heritage. I made no mention of Rahul Verma. I'm also confused by your statement that "it might have more probably originated in India..." as "..Chicken tikka masala is a widely used term in India." The wide use of a term is not documentary proof of its origin. Your assessment of probability is your own, not a verifiable statement from a third party. Please refer to the Wikipedia policy forbidding  original research. Kind regards Guffydrawers (talk) 13:22, 7 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello NotJustAnotherGuy. I ask you please to remain civil: "Looks like you have not read the article at all." If you examine the edit history you will find evidence to the contrary. The statement by Rahul Verma is just one opinion of many and lacks further evidence to make it definitive. Calling him 'authoritative' is also an opinion, not a proven fact. I'm afraid that I don't understand what your point is when you say "And as per your assertion Sishmahal stands to gain profit." Please clarify. Please also clarify which Wikipedia policy you deem me to have contravened. I do not question your good intentions in your edits, I just wish to prevent unproven opinion from being presented as fact in the article. Best wishes Guffydrawers (talk) 18:41, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
