I am pleased to see that finally we have a block imposed following the outright vandalism on Ganesha: . This removal of well-sourced encyclopedia content deserves blocking, and I urge administrators to consider the very long pattern of disruption on multiple articles that this editor continues to engage in.

Popular festivals? I don't really get what you mean, but I'm assuming it's about Japan. Let's see...the New Year festival is always great, with a lot of special food and games (Japanese Badmington).

Not like Hindus where they follow their religion strictly, regular buddhists usually just try to follow the basics. For example, I try to assume good faith. That sounds like Wikipedia, but that's basicly what Buddha says. Another one is to forgive others, and that's pretty hard to do in this world, but I still try. --Hirohisat ^Kiwi 15:33, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

I've found lot of references those are directly stating that Ganesha is being worshiped since Vedic times. Also, I've found a use of WP:UNDUE at Ganesha those are quoting unnecessary references towards Ganesha, comments and feedbacks will be welcomed. BalanceΩrestored ^Talk 12:48, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

hi, i found that you were arguing your case about renameing the article to Rama's bridge. I have put forth my views supporting the renaming by using WP:ENGVAR for strong national ties and commonly used local name in Indian English (as pointed out by some other user too). Please give your opinion on the discussion page. Thanks -RainDew —Preceding unsigned comment added by RainDew (talk • contribs) 05:33, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi BR, just wanted to let you know that your talk page comments are again veering towards being argumentative and disruptive. Please re-read the explanations posted by Gizza, Dbachmann, Buddhipriya and me and try to at least read the references provided in the article. The only reason we use words like "Krishan considers ..." is because as per WP:NPOV we try to avoid making categorical statements such as "Krishan has proved ...". If you read the reference, Krishan (1981-82), Krishan (1995), Thapan (1997) etc, you will see that these scholars are not expressing a casual opinion but are making a scholarly argument for their conclusions. Abecedare 06:10, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

But isn't the article currently claiming still that "Ganesha is not found in the Veda". Gizza, Dbachmann, Buddhipriya and yourself are great authors, so why don't any of you please edit that. I am sure none of you have added that claim based on statements like "Krishan considers ...". I am sure you all know that's a very big statement. Edit that, then things are neutral, I am sure you accept it. That statement is still unchanged. For me, Ganesha is certainly in Yajur Veda. I am sure you have no problems Yajur Veda being a Veda. BalanceΩrestored ^Talk 06:23, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I still wonder how my questioning to you about a wrong edit, is being still treated as a "argumentative and disruptive." Come on, I've changed a lot now, I understand wikipedia a bit now.

Kindly propose solutions

Hello BalanceRestored, I feel that some editors have been acting way to stubborn for renaming this article. I have showed it that as per WP:NCON, the article needs to be renamed to Rama Setu. But even then they keep on bringing points like 'diverse' name when there is no guideline asking for such. Then they ask for official name when there is no proof that Adam's bridge is official name (I have shown that Britannica is not reliable for naming indian places with evidence). I posted the supreme court verdict “Till September 14, the alleged Rama Sethu/Adam’s bridge shall not be damaged in any manner. Dredging activity may be carried out so long as it does not damage Rama Sethu.” which uses the name Rama Setu 2 times. WP:NCON clearly asks for legal name. I honestly do not know which guidelines these people are following.

Another issue is that the Rama and Hanuman article mention that Hindus believe that Rama and his army built the Rama Setu. And the article is internally linking the word Rama's bridge to the Adam's bridge article(different name) which then talks about Sangh Parivar agenda type stuff. Isn't this equivalent of say the Christianity article linking to an article on Easter which a) calls Easter by some other name and then b)talks about Easter & Resurrection (another unproven faith-based issue) as extremist Christian agenda? I do not have a problem with the article making it clear that its a 'Hindu Belief'. I have mentioned these issues on Talk:Rama and Talk:Hanuman.

I am new to wikiepedia editing and I am not aware of what needs to be done in these scenarios because there is a real conflict and other editors are adamant. You seem to be much more experienced. So what do you think is the solution? I am tired of posting messages and listening to the same stuff although I have proven them wrong based on the guidelines.RainDew 20:47, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, here in wikipedia things are very similar to what we see at our daily parliment. We never get good results immeadiately. Let's not blame Christians here. Infact if these people were real extremist Christian (One who extremely believe in GOD), they would have immeadiately given up. But, tell me can you or me give up Rama's name. Same is happening to them. Here the fault is more within our own country. All, I know is the way that article was renamed was extremely bad.BalanceΩrestored ^Talk 02:05, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

BR, you are again using wikipedia as a soapbox as in this comment, and beating a dead horse at Talk:Adam's Bridge. Please stop now as your arguments are getting circular, repetitive and disruptive (as Dab and others have also pointed out), or you are likely to face another block, which well might be indefinite. I thought it would only be fair to point this out to you. If you disagree with my opinion, please feel free to consult with other established wikipedians you trust.

I don't think that's WP:SOAPBOX, I will ask VS. If you are right, I will apologize the same, and delete my comment. BalanceΩrestored ^Talk 05:20, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I've deleted the comment for the while. I will wait for VS comment. I still do not think that was wrong. But, you are here for a longer while, so, I think there should have been a mistake I do not know.BalanceΩrestored ^Talk 05:25, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

That individual comment in isolation would not be a big deal; but in combination with your repetitive arguments at Talk:Adam's Bridge it indicates that you still don't understand the purpose of wikipedia as an encyclopedia. To be perfectly clear: You are free to protest the naming of Adam's Bridge/Rama Set, oppose the Sethusamudram project, or be sympathetic to religious sentiments of the Hindu communities regarding this or any other issue ... however wikipedia is not the place for such protests or discussions. Abecedare 05:32, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Did I say I was trying to protest that over wiki??? I could be also editing else where, I could be voting at petitiononline.com. It was an over all comment to what Dab had quoted.

In your own words, what does WP:V, WP:NPOV and WP:NOR each say? Please keep your answers very short and to the point. Think of it as telling me of the essential principle behind each one. Vassyana 17:14, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

In my own words,

1. WP:V, means wiki content should be only from a WP:RS.
2. WP:NPOV, means wiki content should be not biased, and should be fairly presented.
3. WP:NOR, means wiki content should not contain non published views, even if original.

1. What are some good ways to tell if a reference is a reliable source?

1. .*The material has been thoroughly vetted by the scholarly community. This means published in peer-reviewed sources, and reviewed and judged acceptable scholarship by the academic journals.

• Items that are recommended in scholarly bibliographies are preferred.
• signed are more reliable than unsigned articles, because it tells whether an expert wrote it and took responsibility for it.

• Extremist sources

Organizations and individuals that are widely acknowledged as extremist, whether of a political, religious or anti-religious, racist, or other nature, should be used only as sources about themselves and their activities in articles about themselves, and even then with caution.

I did not find this happening at some places. BalanceΩrestored ^Talk 05:43, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

After adding delimiters ::, # restarts numbering from 1..2..3.. etc . How do I check this?.

BalanceΩrestored ^Talk 09:00, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

To continue a list, you have to keep using the same character in the left hand column. So to continue a numbered list but put unnumbered indents into it, use #: rather than ::. (The first # means 'continue the numbered list'; the subsequent : means 'indent and don't number this entry'.) --ais523 09:12, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

If an editor has made a controvertial statement (that is, if 1000 people say "It is so", and if 2 people say "It is not so") is there a policy to adopting them at wiki? How are controvertial statements to be treated? BalanceΩrestored ^Talk 05:30, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Not sure. There's WP:FRINGE, but I'm not sure if that applies to what you're talking about. In general though, to make articles neutral, it's important not to lend undue weight to viewpoints that aren't widely accepted. What situation are you thinking about? --Bfigura ^(talk) 05:35, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

If author XYX of a popular book has made a very controvertial statement like "Wiki is fraud", "Wikipedians are liers". Could this statement be inserted into the article wikipedia without backing up sufficient evidence? Is there a policy on handling such statements? BalanceΩrestored ^Talk 05:41, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Per WP:V, unsourced statements may be removed at any time. However, as long as the statement is sourced, relevant, and discussed in a neutral way, there probably wouldn't be a problem. Again, not sure if that addresses the issue. If not, let me know. --Bfigura ^(talk) 05:45, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello there, I've been having some difficulties in the Mango article page trying to cite a statement describing the mango as the 'the food of the gods', as mentioned in the Vedas. I've had a pretty long discussion with User:Paul144, you may refer to the contents of the discussion in my talk page and in his. To summarise, as we are not reaching a consencus, I was wondering if you could help me find the exact verse in the Vedas that describes the fruit as 'the food of gods', if not some verses that prominantly mentions the fruit. I'd need to know the verse and the version of the Vedas you are referring for a valid citation. I contacted you as I noticed on the Vedas discussions page that you have significant knowledge on the texts and I'm hoping you can help me out with this, as I'm not familiar with it. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks and have a nice day!  S3000  ☎ 17:59, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

This is regarding the wikipedia article on Shivkar Bapuji Talpade which you have contributed to. Can you tell us about the first reference you've made to "Asia:Asian Quarterly of Culture And Synthesis, American Asiatic Association, Published 1942, Page 40" Where did you find this and can you lead us to a copy?

I live in Mumbai, India and have personally met Pratap Velkar, D.H. Bedekar and other other people who are constantly mentioned in articles about Talpade. I am in possession of Talpade's 1907 book and various articles which have been published in Marathi as well as English newspapers and magazines. I also have access to the magazines which Talpade edited in 1904.

Most newspaper articles on the subject endlessly repeat the same mistakes as each other and have used each other as sources. None of those journalists have done any legwork on this. If you lead us to that article I've mentioned above it might help us go forward.

I have left th exact same message on he discussion page of the article on wikipedia as well as in your mail.

thanks.

Vassyana (talk) 22:24, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi! the reason is simple, certain things which looks inappropriate today, could be appropriate tomorrow. This is what we have seen though out in the past history, people did these, when the logical scientist said, "The earth is round", "Humans can fly", "Humans can reach the moon" and so forth. The word myth, which is more or less associated with "false" should not be used with Vedas at least. For the past two years I've been studying Vedas. What I come to know is, most of it is pure mathematics and logic. It contains historic recordings which has been passed on from generations to generations. Just because humans in certain generation are not able to reason the text, cannot just call it false on the fly. They have to provide concrete scientific evidence even for stating things were false. BalanceΩrestored ^Talk 02:24, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

I think I better understand your view. Wikipedia does not address what is ultimately true or may be proven at some later time. Wikipedia simply presents matters as they are currently understood by reputable authorities. Our core policy, "NPOV", requires that we only present what covered in reliable sources and that we do so with the same weighting. The overwhelming majority of scholars view the Vedas as religious texts filled with allegory and mythology, just as they do nearly all religious texts, and thus Wikipedia will present the topic the same way. The personal beliefs, interpretations, and conclusions of Wikipedia editors are not permitted to be used as the basis for our coverage. We only report the views and opinions published in reliable sources. Majority views will determine the main tone, organization, and emphasis of our coverage. Attempts to contradict or combat this editing model will often be seen as inappropriate and even disruptive. If I can help explain this further, please let me know. Vassyana (talk) 04:22, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I think you are getting me wrong. It is not about "Majority view" or "Minority view". The verifiable sources does not mention anything about how they arrive at the conclusion that statements in Vedas are stories, false etc. I only am questioning them. The authors should have been narrated by some reliable source regarding the vedas being false, or the authors arrived at the conclusion after doing some research... But, currently none of the sources mention the same.BalanceΩrestored ^Talk 06:05, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

BR, You are misinterpreting what the sources and wikipedia article, Hindu mythology and Vedic mythology, are saying and then demanding for references and evidence to back up your misinterpretations  ! You are also repeatedly making an argument from ignorance, and asking others to provide evidence that scholarly sources are not wrong , , .
Many editors have tried to point the fallacy of your arguments, the need to follow secondary sources etc, and I have guided you to authoritative references on the subject. Unfortunately, you don't seem to have followed any of the advice, or read and understood any of the sources, and your posts on the talk pages are increasingly tendentious. If you continue in this vein of WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT, I will be requesting that you be blocked, or even banned as having exhausted the community's patience.

@BalanceRestored: I recommend taking a bit of time to look over Wikipedia:Dispute resolution. It has a lot of information, advice, and links about working with others on Wikipedia. If you have any questions as you look it over, please let me know. Vassyana (talk) 07:34, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi! Vassyana, there's no need to raise a wp:dr for the while. Everyone were raising their concerns and I was raising mine. I will spend sometime, understand wiki's requirements. I will surely talk to you before I message. Thanks for the help BalanceΩrestored ^Talk 10:29, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Actually wanted to know if there was a provision to question statement's authenticity. E.g. If someone quotes, Mrs XYZ is pregnant. To arrive at such statements one has to have enough medical reports to prove the same. Wanted to know if it was allowed at wiki to question statements. Also, I was mentioned being disruptive for posting too many {{fact}} tags. So, I wanted to know if there is a policy which states frequency w.r.t disruptive behavior.

I'm stopping by to see how things are going. How is the editing at Hindu mythology (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) and other articles? Are you having any difficulties? Are things going smoothly? Do you need any advice or assistance? Vassyana (talk) 21:12, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

However, many hits of - Naresh Sonee reflects on google search engine also. So, I request Wiki Indian community to kindly come forward and generously help these two pages to grow, as I am fed up to fight my case alone here [left] and moved out long back.
