The bit about Goa trance makes it sound like tourism has died out in Goa, this it totally incorrect, tourism is the number one earner of GDP and anyone who has visited goa knows some places like Calangute have already been runined by package tourism. Htaccess 15:37, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Konkani Wikipedia

Dear Konknni friends,

Konkani Wikipedia has been started and been in test stage since August 2006.

Kindly contribute towards the Konkani wikipedia. We intend to make it a multiscript

Wikipeida. At least tri-script with Roman ,Devanangiri and Kannada scripts since these are the most popular ones.

We would like to get more articles/templates in place. We also need volunteers to do the thankless and boring job of transliterating it to different scripts .

As of now only two members are making active contributions. The more the merrier. Your contribution is vital to its success.

The url is given below:

November 12 / Instruments section

I have deleted the section describing the instruments because each instrument listed already has a page. I have copied and pasted the information I removed below, in case anybody wants to move the info to the appropriate pages. Feel free to restore if you believe my edit wasn't needed.

Removed text:

Mridanga or Pakhawaj is a wooden cylinder covered at both ends with a goat skin,and is very important part of Hindu devotional songs sung in the temples and is always accompanied by cymbals called as taal in Konkani and sometimes Zanz. The ghumat is an earthen-ware pot-like vessel made by Goan potters with openings on the two opposite sides, one large and the other small in diameter, with the middle portion much bulging outwards. On the larger opening with the edge conveniently moulded for the fitting, a wet skin of a lizard (lacerta ocelata), known in Konkani as sap or gar, is fully stretched to cover the whole surface of the opening. When accompanying a song or dance the gumott is usually placed on the left thigh. The ghumat is essential for Hindu festivals, some temple rituals like Suvari vadan, bhivari and mando performances. A madlem is a cylindrical earthen vessel covered at both ends with the skin of a lizard and is mostly played by the Kunbis, whereas tambura is a stringed instrument like the veena but with only one string is normally used during Hindustani classical concerts.

I have added back just the description of Ghumot and Madlem because these are true Goan instruments, not found anywhere else, and besides, Madlem doesn't have an article of its own. The Discoverer (talk) 04:41, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good point and you are correct, The Discoverer. Thank you for taking the time to look into it. Wieldthespade (talk) 04:58, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Repeated deletion of content by IP

This is regarding the repeated deletion of text regarding the Monte Festival and the Ketavan festival from the article by an anonymous editor: [1], [2], [3].

The user is repeatedly deleting content that describes two music festivals with references to reliable sources. The reason for deletion is some dislike of Santiago Girelli, a person barely mentioned in the article. There are two issues here: Firstly, the user is deleting well-sourced content with a reason that hardly relates to the content. Secondly, the rationale for deletion involves disparaging a person based solely on blog comments.

Please do not repeat this deletion. Instead, discuss your issues here. The Discoverer (talk) 18:50, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@The Discoverer: Here's also a video from the Ketevan "Sacred Music" Festival's official YouTube channel of the performance of the Ektaal Children's Choir led by a Goan Karen named Nayantara Lima Leitão (the trashy, dishonest hag is one of the rotten fruits that did not fall far from the trashy, dishonest tree). https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MB2CavlkHYk This song also is not any kind of "sacred music" or children's song, Seasons of Love is a song from the musical Rent. 2402:8100:317C:415B:CAE5:370B:5762:DF9D (talk) 06:23, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@The Discoverer: Here's the video of a performance by Goa University Choir. This video was uploaded by Rudolf Ludwig Kammermeier, a German who runs a gallery named Art Chamber in Calangute. Kammermeier was co-founder (along with Girelli) of the Ketevan "Sacred Music" Festival. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDLmU6qvhjk Here's a video showing the mediaeval German lyrics of that same "Catholic hymn" along with the English translation of those lyrics: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_sjS8KxAjTo

To the IP user: The text regarding the music festival in the article is well-sourced, and nothing of what you have written above in the past couple of days contradicts the article text. Moreover, the allegations you are making are Original Research, and for Wikipedia to consider it, it needs to be published in a reliable source.
