Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you are reminded not to attack other editors. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You are welcome to rephrase your comment as a civil criticism of the article. Thank you. Jasper Deng (talk) 05:11, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

[1]. Do not try to disparage the background of others.Jasper Deng (talk) 05:18, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

If you are referring to "narendra modi's mother tongue" topic then I dont consider that as personal attack. That Narendra Modi is Gujarati and talks in Gujarati is a fact as true as daylight. It just means that the user has not understood that the language is called Gujarati is all. It is acknowledged the fact that the user has another mother tongue which can be as good and culturally rich. In no sense it is disparaging.

It is still a personal attack. Instead of saying something like that, please explain to the user exactly what he/she said wrong, and cite your sources.Jasper Deng (talk) 05:24, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Ok done.

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four halfwidth tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Jasper Deng (talk) 23:21, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Could you specify please where I have indulged in Edit war? In two topics [Slavery] and [Alexander the great] the edits were hardly from one line or more. When edits were reverted, it was decided later that a consensus is needed and no edits are done after that. And how long could a block without notice last, considering it looks imminent? Please note that most of my edits are in talk pages and not at all currently on Wikipedia pages and still I am getting this message. Thisthat2011 (talk) 08:17, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Hinduism

The issue is not the information, but the source. Wikipedia's reliable sourcing guidelines (link to them here) do not allow user-generated sources (such as wikidot websites), nor do they allow self-published sources (such as tripod pages). I recommend looking on Google Books for a source (just make sure the publisher is not a pay-to-print publisher like Lulu.com). None of the sources in the Christianity article are from self-published sources. As you see here, I removed a spam link that would count as a self-published source if it was used as a source in the article). The authors of that article's sources had to get approval from someone else to get those books published. Self-published does not mean that the author is a Hindu, Christian, or whatever. Self-published means the author published by himself, and had noone to make sure he was publishing good material. I highly recommend studying the reliable sourcing guidelines for more information. Ian.thomson (talk) 14:24, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Guess this is a good source here. If this can be considered as one, do let me know please so I can make changes.Thisthat2011 (talk) 22:05, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Yes, that is a good source. The book comes from a company that specializes in academic works, so the author's work would have been scrutinized. Ian.thomson (talk) 20:59, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Edit war? or removal of sourced content?

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. You have been continuing to add personal commentary in various articles and/or sourcing dubious content to unreliable sources, please refrain from doing that. —SpacemanSpiff 07:32, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

You are accusing me of something for which there is a sourced content. You are removing the sourced content and then accusing me of "adding personal commentary" though not a single word of the content is my own. Please desist from deleting referenced content and then accusing.

Talk:Rashtriya_Swayamsevak_Sangh#Edit_request_from_67.78.85.67.2C_12_April_2011 edit discussion for consensus

Hi, it seems that discussion for Talk:Rashtriya_Swayamsevak_Sangh#Edit_request_from_67.78.85.67.2C_12_April_2011 is not going anywhere, not because of consensus, but because of no consensus is claimed, in spite of 3 different users saying so. The reasons are given and are finally replies are a new question: Extending Biographies of living people to organisations? ... , I think you have answered your own question! ... For other organisations, go to the respective page/talk page... and so on; In spite of giving reasons. So I would like to know where are the ironclad rules for first line of an organization? Where is the rule that usual principles can not be extended to first line of an organization? I would request to set a standard for organizations and as such. Also I would like to know what to do in cases where in the name of consensus, no effort is made to form a consensus but all efforts are made just to claim no consensus, a similar behavior is noticed here also. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:India#No_consensus_in_the_secondary_and_tertiary_sources_for_India_also_Bharat.

Hi thisthat2011. I'm a clerk for the Arbitration Committee and have moved your post here as it was in the wrong place.

ArbCom doesn't get involved in content disputes, and this appears to be a content dispute. You've got several options but you need to only use one at a time. If you think that this is primarily a BLP issue, you can go to the WP:BLPN and raise your concerns there. If you think it is a sourcing issue, we have WP:RSN. It occurs to me that there may be NPOV problems and we have WP:NPOVN for discussing those.

We also have dispute resolution venues WP:DR.

Another suggestion would be to raise a request for comment on the issue - see WP:RFC concerning where text should be placed.

It's up to you to decide what you want to do. Dougweller (talk) 09:02, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Warning

Following my request on your talk page about disruption by continual repeating your comments, you have continued to repeat the comments so unless it concerns a request for comment then to keep repeating your comment will be considered disruptive and you may have your editing rights restricted. MilborneOne (talk) 09:12, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Despite my request not to keep repeating your points at Talk:India you have repeated them again today [2]. Although we assume good faith your continually making the same points is clearly disruptive, it may be worth reading the Request for comment page for instructions if you wish to gain further views on the subject, but to keep repeating your comments will be seen as being disruptive and you may have your editing rights restricted. MilborneOne (talk) 21:16, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

As far as name Bharat is considered, I have pointed out with reasons from my side, instead of opposing it again and again unreasonably, and therefore not disruptive according to me. Though, I can see that apparently no weight is been given here for reasons.

As I have pointed out on your page, the repetition is because of repeated assertions from other users. As it is, it is a talk page, not main page India. ..असक्तः सततं कार्य कर्म समाचर | असक्तः हि आचरन् कर्म.. Humour Thisthat2011 21:43, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

I can understand your frustration, you have a point to make and nobody is saying that you cant have a view and make suggestions to improve the article. The request to include Bharat in the lead has not been supported by a number of editors, although other editors have supported it. The default for the article is to stay the same unless you can gain a consensus on the talk page. It is not for other editors to show why it should change but for you to raise points why it should. The problem with repeating the points is that the opinion of the other editors on the talk page is not changed by repeating it, which is why it is seen as disruptive. Editors then get frustrated and it can lead to bad behaviour by other editors which we really dont want. My suggestion is that you will not get support on the talk page no matter what you say but as I am sure you believe you have a valid suggestion then it is better to get other editors involved to see if a wider audience supports your views. The best method is to create a request for comment, you can follow the instructions on the Wikipedia:Requests for comment page, it also suggested an automated page to make it easier at RfC posting tool. What then happens is that other editors/users see the notice for comments and some of them will not have visited the India page before so will read your suggestion with no preset ideas and give an opinion one way or another. As it is a bit of a stalemate on the talk page so this will get others involved and allow you to get more comments. I appreciate that I dont agree with your suggestion but that doesnt mean you dont have the right to gain more views, if you have any questions then please ask on this page and I will try and help.

Sorry for being harsh

Hello, I'm sorry if I've been harsh at Talk:India. I had been aware of some conflict over there but had been ignoring it until seeing the "request for comments". My comments over there are meant in the best of faith and encouragement. Also, I just saw on your main user page, "Susu - hope it increases their numbers and reduced pollution, fishing and division into isolated groups because of barrages." That is a sentiment I can wholeheartedly agree with, and was pleased to see. You call the dolphins "Susu"? We don't have dolphins where I live, but there are some Orcas, which are somewhat similar and hugely impressive. There are a huge number of dams where I live, to the great detriment of the aquatic species, mostly salmon. It's a perennial issue here. While I mourn the devastation of the salmon and the natural rivers, I am also pleased that my electricity comes from hydropower rather than coal or nuclear plants. I realize that the Indian barrages are not usually major hydroelectric producers, and if they are harmful to the dolphins that is a shame. Dolphins are so much more intelligent and conscious than salmon! Anyway, just wanted to post here to let you know I don't meant to be overly harsh over at Talk:India--more just trying to be helpful. Pfly (talk) 11:28, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

'Susu' is kind of phonetic. The dolphin comes up to water surface every 30 minutes for breathing and generates such a sound, the locals therefore refer to it so.

Onomatopoeia is probably a better term than phonetic. Cool! Pfly (talk) 12:17, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

What I do understand is that the dolphins live in fresh water, therefore their presence/site is appreciated. The dolphins are therefore somewhat indicative of pure water flow hence some symbolism is involved. As the dams reduce the flow of water and decrease passive capacity of water to take pollution away to the sea, not to mention cut away path of migrations etc. As it is, every time there are talks of building hydro power plants on Ganga, there is this issue of migratory species being affected. There is a lot of money involved and so the issue effectively also is delicately poised against dwindling population of the dolphins. As social mammal(social animal have much better chance of surviving in society and comparatively little chance alone), there are a lot of efforts made to increase their numbers; but as mentioned there are some natural issues(low birth rate) and some man made(catching for oil etc., barrages) that are coming in the way big time. As it is, dolphins are extremely friendly and intelligent, though Ganga dolphin has diminished eye sight(as eyesight is not needed in muddy waters), has evolved to live entirely on sound reflections(echo) & does not respond to sight of tourists etc. I appreciate your concern about the dolphins.

On a side note, I was wondering if a dam could be constructed a little away from water flow so that the normal flow is not obstructed, etc. but that is just me talking loud.

I do envy you your dolphins. We have similar issues here, but focused on salmon. Salmon are a hugely important historical thing here, but if it was dolphins I imagine there would be little opposition to all-out preservation efforts. I have a hard time imaging fresh water dolphins, as I've never seen any. The closest I've come is the salt water orcas around here, which are clearly quite different.

Well, I guess Ganga dolphins have evolved in such manner. In India, dolphin preservation would indeed be slow. It is a rare species and it is sadly not able to stand up in these times. ..असक्तः सततं कार्य कर्म समाचर | असक्तः हि आचरन् कर्म.. Humour Thisthat2011 12:59, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Also, it looks like you are fluent to some degree in Sanskrit. That is one of the few connections I have with India. A good friend of mine in college took courses in Sanskrit, and through her I acquired a great appreciation, and gained a huge fascination with the language. If you are fluent in it, or at least can read it, I envy you. Pfly (talk) 11:34, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

I am not too fluent in Sanskrit, but Sanskrit is easy because it is phonetic. In India, people learn Hindi and therefore know how to read Sanskrit words as Hindi and Sanskrit follow the same script. Also, most of the languages in India, including Sanskrit, are all phonetic - so you write what you speak which helps a lot in education. The communication becomes then mostly about ideas and not pronunciations(the entire pronunciations of Sanskrit can be explained as combination of parts in brief, for example Sanskrit#Phonology section). I am no scholar in Sanskrit at all, but it grammar is very logical, and so people tend to understand the structure well. A lot of Hindu literature is written in Sanskrit, and other Indian languages. ..असक्तः सततं कार्य कर्म समाचर | असक्तः हि आचरन् कर्म.. Humour Thisthat2011 12:13, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

This makes me think of the place of Latin among European languages. Latin is likewise phonetic, at leat in its classical form. For those who know French, Spanish, and especially Italian, Latin is not too hard to decipher. I've often heard Latin and Sanskrit compared, but wow it is hard for a European-American to learn Sanskrit! The alphabet/syllabarary (whatever it ought to be called) is hard enough! The main thing I recall being hard for my friend to learn about Sanskrit was the ligatures. ...good night. Pfly (talk) 12:31, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

To learn Sanskrit, one has to understand phonetic groups. For example - ta tha da dha na - these five consonants are spoken in mutually similar phonetic manner and therefore grouped together; or another example - pa pha ba bha ma - these five consonants are grouped together similarly. In all there are 7 such consonant groups, and 14 vowels - each with individual phonetic. That's a good start! ..असक्तः सततं कार्य कर्म समाचर | असक्तः हि आचरन् कर्म..

Canvassing

Just a note, that asking other users on talk pages to participate in a discussion such as you did here is frowned upon, and can often be seen as WP:CANVASSING. If you do feel the need to notify other editors about the conversation, it is best to say you have done so on the talkpage where the conversation is happening. Cheers, Chipmunkdavis (talk) 14:03, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

I guess thats called Consensus, with different facets like Consensus building and blocking etc. (See also See also).

Note the part there Soliciting opinions, which is not WP:CANVASSING. Everyone does some WP:CANVASSING to an extent, for example by user MikeLynch; and I don't see anyone warning that guy now, can you? ..असक्तः सततं कार्य कर्म समाचर | असक्तः हि आचरन् कर्म..

Copypaste and likely copyvio

You have copied and pasted substantial portions of the article Maratha War of Independence from the (Hindu nationalist) web site voi.org. I have tagged the article with a copypaste template, which means that what you have done might be a violation of copyright laws and, therefore, against Wikipedia policy. If you have done the same on other Wikipedia pages, please voluntarily revert your edits and begin afresh by paraphrasing the content in accordance with Wikipedia rules. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 09:19, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi, the source links are given in the reference section of the page. more about the author here from a blog on Wall Street Journal, as he is a blogger of some repute I take.

India i.e Bharat

Hi ThisThat! I have seen your posts on the talk page of the article on India and really appreciate the fact the you are trying to contribute seriously. However, it seems that the discussion has become a bit dragging of late. A look at the discussion gives me an impression that there's, at this point at least, not much support for the changes that you are proposing in the naming. I would like to therefore request you that you step back for a while and contribute to other articles. May be you can revisit this after a considerable time has elapsed and gauge the opinion pattern then. Thanks. Shovon (talk) 09:53, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

I hope as a responsible admin, you have also warned others who just maintain that 'Bharat is not an English name of India' and keep disrupting the discussion even when the discussion itself if going on, thus starting and ending with the same assumptions without considering the entire discussion in between. ..असक्तः सततं कार्य कर्म समाचर | असक्तः हि आचरन् कर्म.. Humour Thisthat2011 06:05, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Warning

Just to repeat the warnings that you have had already for disruptive behaviour, it was suggested that you try a request for comment. It is clear from the comments that nobody supports a change to the lead so it is really time to leave this alone. Shovon76 makes a good suggestion that you use your enthusiasm and knowledge and concentrate on other subjects. If you keep repeating the same comments again and again we may not have any choice but to stop you editing for a while as it is clearly disruptive to the project. I would rather that you do other work but note after all the warnings that you have had here and on the Talk:India page you may not get another warning. Please consider. MilborneOne (talk) 11:53, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

"Wikipedia policy (WP:IG) discourages galleries of random images of the article subject". --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:23, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

I think the gallery here is well-marked with information and links to pages needed. If some images look out of the labels, please point out which ones. ..असक्तः सततं कार्य कर्म समाचर | असक्तः हि आचरन् कर्म.. Humour Thisthat2011 16:28, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

"Images are typically interspersed individually throughout an article near the relevant text (see WP:MOSIMAGES). However, the use of a gallery section may be appropriate in some Wikipedia articles if a collection of images can illustrate aspects of a subject that cannot be easily or adequately described by text or individual images. The images in the gallery collectively must have encyclopedic value and add to the reader's understanding of the subject. Images in a gallery should be suitably captioned to explain their relevance both to the article subject and to the theme of the gallery, and the gallery should be appropriately titled (unless the theme of the gallery is clear from the context of the article). Images in a gallery should be carefully selected, avoiding similar or repetitive images, unless a point of contrast or comparison is being made."

We already have individual images of Gangadhara, with Parvati, Ardhanarishvara, as Yogishvara. There are several other aspects of Shiva (at least 108 iconographical ones in South India); all of which can not be listed and/or illustrated in the article, only some prominent depictions are enough.

"Wikipedia is not an image repository. A gallery is not a tool to shoehorn images into an article, and a gallery consisting of an indiscriminate collection of images of the article subject should generally either be improved in accordance with the above paragraph or moved to Wikimedia Commons." --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 18:59, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Well the thing is that it is a bit untidy to present all pictures in articles, where there may not be sufficient place and it would clutter the page presentation. I assumed that a well-labeled gallery could put more pics just so as to reinforce meaning, generality and give some specific information per picture - thereby balancing general v/s specific difference to an extent.

As it is, I agree that it is not possible to present all forms but just a few. Though that should not prevent from making a good start and hopefully the gallery will become more exhaustive.

My 2 paise. ..असक्तः सततं कार्य कर्म समाचर | असक्तः हि आचरन् कर्म.. Humour Thisthat2011 21:16, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Ya. It is fine to create gallery on commons and link it from the wikipedia temple. Galleries can be used in wikipedia but they should be small and used to illustrate specific features of the subject. Multiple galleries in each relevant section can be used in Hindu temple architecture to illustrate specific features of Hindu temple architecture, but a huge gallery at the end has no meaning. See Taj Mahal where the policy of gallery is followed in spirit IMO. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 06:28, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

I have rearranged the text and reordered the references as per the prescribed format. Picasso pictorial url is shifted to external links and referencing each Picasso picture to the main text is not allowed in the text part. Please ensure that in your future articles the reference format is strictly followed or otherwise the article would be rejected on the DYK. Also, use this format [3] for referencing of google books. Can you think of an interesting hook which is duly referenced for nomination on the DYK? If you can manage a picture with free license attribution, it will add to the get up of the article. Also, pl record your observations on my talk page.--Nvvchar. 01:36, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

You cannot add to the DYK Que page. It is done only by the administrator after it is approved on the suggestion page by reviewers. You have to first add your article on the suggestion page under the date that you have created the article. It should be fully referenced, evry paragraph and also figures. The text for the hook in the article should also be definitely referenced in the main text only or otherwise it would be rejected. The length of the text should be more than 1600 ch without references, headings and Infobox. If an Infobox is added, it;'/ will add to the value of the article. Use minimum of images and be brief in writing the text for the same. Instructions for posting on the page are given at the head of the Suggestion Page. Please read it carefully before posting.

Thought you might be interested... p. williams is a non RS for an article on Hinduism. His field is buddhism. he has not written any peer reviewed book on Hinduism which has been published by a university press. Actually, he has not even written any books on Hinduism, as such, he is a non RS for the article. Hinduism is not his field. It is not his field of expertise. In this situation, how can he be construed to be an RS on Hinduism. The book on "buddhist thought" is also totally off-topic for the article. It is about Buddhism, not about Hinduism. as such, the book is also non-RS. Looking into WP:RS and WP:V, it would be easy to show two dozen different reasons why this citation is worthless. But, these two points would be sufficient to nuke the p.w. citation. it is likely that "brainy" christian POV eds who are only around to create mischief will refuse to accept these points. In that situation, don't argue with them and post the question "Is p.w. an RS for some point related to Hinduism" on WP:RSN. You should get the desired answer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.198.57.226 (talk) 16:52, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi,

Your edits to the above page have been revision deleted (selectively deleted) which is why you can't view them in the history. This action was carried out by MLauba, an administrator (per criteria 1 of the revision delete policy) . I reverted your additions to the page as copyright violations as they appeared to be copy and pasted from Voice of India pdf's as I detailed on the talk page, which I see you have read as you replied there. I apologise for not notifying you of my revert of your edits on your talk page as that is something I normally do and I must have overlooked it.

I assume you are following the procedure here to gain permission to use this text in this article. If you get permission to use the text then the deleted edits can be restored so there will be no need to re-type them. (Please note this won't help with any POV concerns other editors may have raised.) Hope this helps, regards, ascidian | talk-to-me 05:41, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboardThigle (talk) 03:44, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

A brief review of your edits show ownership issues, edit-warring, issues with canvassing, and a massive misunderstanding of reliable sourcing. Added together, this is becoming significantly disruptive. I really recommend that you begin to edit in a far more collegial and non-tendentious manner. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 11:44, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

ThisThat2011, I noticed at the DRN that some users were unduly talking against you only because they did not seem to know about Thigle's editing habits. He is shouting all the time and even brags about it and his sense of sourcing policy is zero. And he is also adamantly unwilling to move forward from zero. I recommend that you delete most of the content of this talk page. There's nothing which stops you from doing that.-117.198.54.181 (talk) 02:49, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

I have reworded the whole paragraphs so as to explain meaning but not contents. Therefore these are not copyvios at all. Example: [1], etc. These are reverted without even looking at them. ..असक्तः सततं कार्य कर्म समाचर | असक्तः हि आचरन् कर्म.. Humour Thisthat2011 10:22, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I am not sure how do I contribute to this other than rewording the whole substance, which is what I understand as not amounting to copyright violation.

Let me know how I can contribute, for everything I am doing is reverted in a way it is not even observable. For example, the B.B.C. controversies page, I can not link the edits I did since its history for the said pages is not even visible. In such a case, it is difficult even to understand how my edits today, i.e. rephrasing etc. and removing anything that looks like copyvio and thus contributing to is anything else. Please let me know how to go about it. ..असक्तः सततं कार्य कर्म समाचर | असक्तः हि आचरन् कर्म.. Humour Thisthat2011 10:41, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

ThisThat2011, many editors (even experienced ones) have difficulty understanding what is copyvio, and how close paraphrasing is also a copyvio. That close paraphrasing constitutes a copyvio is correct and it is a serious problem for Wikipedia. Please do not reinsert anything unless you are sure that it is not a copyvio. I am the IP and have decided to register now. Let those edits be reverted. There is no harm in having them reverted. Actually it is necessary and opposing it is of no use. It will only complicate matters further. Even if you think something is important, and needs to be stated in the article, it needs to be reworded substantially or completely. Before reinserting anything, please wait for some time so that you can get a hang of it. Trying to rush things is not good.-MangoWong (talk) 12:19, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

The material is not of my own writing, and both copies of the same were deleted instead of keeping one. Hence I have restored one copy. It has nothing to do with copyvio. ..असक्तः सततं कार्य कर्म समाचर | असक्तः हि आचरन् कर्म.. Humour Thisthat2011

SpacemanSpiff, it is obvious that ThisThat2011 does not understand what is a copyvio. Instead of asking him to stop editing, the difficulty can be solved by explaining what is a copyvio. Earlier on, he had asked for an explanation as to where he is wrong so that he could avoid repeating the mistake. The issue has not been explained adequately to him. Please let me try to explain my understanding of what is a copyvio. ThisThat2011, the problem is not that you are not using your own wording. The problem is that you are not using your own wording. When you use a source, you can only use them to gather some information. But you cannot use their wording. You must restate the same thing in your own , completely new words, to avoid doing a copyvio. You are not doing that and that is the problem.--MangoWong (talk) 13:05, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Please respond to the query on the talk page of this article before making major edits. Thank you. --Saddhiyama (talk) 23:50, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
