 == Hi == 

 regarding some entry changes i made to the page ""neyyi"" -redirected to ""ghee"". 

 I hope this is the right lace to post it. 
 i've been called a vandal and the edits i made unconstructive.  
 i refute both of these charges/allegations. 
 neyyi-an butter-like food product found in India is eaten all over India. Not just hindi-speaking parts. 
 I is borderline racist and certainly immoral (if that is the intent) to marginalize every other language's word for this product and use a majority language word.  
 Ghee outside of Hindi-speaking parts may not even be known or understood. I'd like to think wikipedia is a place that respects all of the world's languages,customs etc.  

 I never got the memo that Hindi is the defacto language that represents all of India.  

 Thank you.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by     

 you said it yourself..its an english language page. 
 what does ghee have to do w/ any of that?  
 Ghee is hindi. If you want to use ghee, then neyyi should be equally acceptable. 
 The english word would be clarified-butter. I'm more than happy to have that replace either language's words.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by     

 so why do we have a problem? 
 i replaced neyyi w/ ghee. both are acceptable then right? both are equal in validity right?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by

 :No problem at all to welcome the students  getting started on Wikipedia has been daunting for some, so I'm sure they'd be grateful for it.
