If you are anti-Buddhist we certainly don't have any objection about your religion. You can be a Brahmin-Hindu if you are a priest by profession in any temple otherwise you are a Shudra-Hindu because all non-priest i.e. non-Brahmins are SHUDRA in Hindu Religion. In Kali Yuga Hindus have only two Varna as per the religious philosophy of Hindus. If you are from India then you might be knowing that Buddhism in India was totally killed. Some blame Brahmins Or some blame Muslims for that, it is a vast topic of study. I don't want to blame anybody. Hindu Castiesm and Hindu Untouchability became very strong after fall of Buddhism in Indian sub-continent and before British came to India. Education to all non-Brahmins was banned and the rigid Hindu Religious laws made by Brahmins like Manusmriti, VishnuSmriti and other DharmaShastras became the laws to govern the non-Muslim society. British gave education for all and broke the anti-Human Hindu Laws. After Independence Dr. Ambedkar revived Buddhism in India. He also established "Buddhist Society of India" certainly NOT Navayana Society! So there is no meaning branding the movement as Navayana. Because the founder of India's Buddhist Revival Movement which is certainly against Hindu Casteism and injustice that Hindus are doing since hundreds of years called his movement as Buddhist Movement. Also Dr. Ambedkar said that 'He will convert whole India back to Buddhism' but he was killed just within 6 weeks after his conversion to Buddhism. Some people blamed Brahmins for his death. It is not sure how he died. I dont want to blame anybody. So you can discuss current Buddhist Developments in the article "Indian Buddhist Movement". About Hindu Caste and related things you better write to Hindu Articles Or Caste Related to Articles. If Navayana is a anto-caste publication then you should put that link in Caste Related article. In India legal system we have Hindus, Muslims, Christens and BUDDHIST as different religion. Expecially our 2001 cencus gives more details about different religions population. We dont have any 'Navayana Buddhist' in whole India neither it is recognized legally anywhere. Officially we have around 1% Buddhists in India. This population unofficially can be 4% also because thousands of people are converting to Buddhism. But lets take official figures. Caste is a problem of Hindus certainly not the problem of Buddhists. Be a contributor to wikipedia but don't just try to vandalise different articles.

Indian Buddhist Movement poratlHow can we expand the portal? Holybrahmin 13:15, 27 October 2006 (UTC) Indian Buddhist MovementHi, I'm writing to you because I noticed that you contributed to the article and talk section of "Indian Buddhist Movement". I saw the article on the RFC page, then read the article and the talk page. I posted a lengthy analysis of the article on it's talk page and have watched it since. I would like to invite you to read my analysis and post your opinion. This is a noteworthy topic, but it's currently incomplete and needs reorganization. The effort to improve this article has boiled down to two editors, dhammafriend and hkelkar, who are both engaging in edit wars and attacks on one another. There has been no substantial progress on this article since I first came upon it, so I'm hoping that you and other folks can come back an engage in a refocusing. I greatly appreciate in advance anything you have to offer.

In addition, edit summaries such as this unnecessarily escalate tensions, and I ask you to refrain from edit warring and making comments like that after your block is up. dvdrw 08:11, 27 January 2007 (UTC) When does my block end Thegreyanomaly 18:55, 27 January 2007 (UTC) Nvm to my request I realized 3RR blocks are 24-hours Thegreyanomaly 07:02, 28 January 2007 (UTC) It has been 24 hours since my last revert, but I cannot edit.

I reverted the POV tag once, and your statement twice. 3RR requires reverting the same info more than three times. You have now made three reverts on the same info. One more and you violate 3RR.

This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies.

Trainra 06:58, 11 October 2007 (UTC) Edits to Asian CapitalsYour edits to the template "Asian Capitals" consists of a double listing of Afghanistan's capital, Kabul. That seems rather rhetorical in nature, and instead should involve only a single listing under one geographic region, with a notation stating that it is sometimes considered a part of another geographic region. In the case of Afghanistan, the consensus on Wikipedia seems to be that it belongs within the realm of Central Asia, and is only sometimes referred to as geographically South Asian in passing by various English language news services. Inclusion of Afghanistan within the realm of South Asia goes against academic views on the subject, and in fact in many cases reflects a tenancy towards irredentism. As a result of this clear dispute, I am going to request an RFC on this matter. Atari400 00:37, 31 October 2007 (UTC) AfghanistanOn the fourth one I provided the source for Afghani.

CanadianAnthropologist (talk) 06:33, 17 December 2007 (UTC) South AsiaIt is ridiculous. Go and take a look at Talk:Tibet/Archive_5#South_Asia, it is YOU who failed to convince all other editors on accepting Tibet forming part of S. Asia. And all those useless sources are hardly GEOPOLITICAL. On Talk:South Asia I see that another editor has warned you half a year ago he/she would remove those crappy and offtopic citations unless you show us some genuines GEOPOLITICAL sources, and you FAILED. It's a GEOPOLITICAL topic, those "language center/cultural centers"...blarblarblar are not authoritative on this matter and thus OFF-TOPIC. (Even if it's worth mentioning, please do it only as "Reference") I have monitored this pages and your POV-pushing for years, so don't childishly think that we dont know it.

Indian_American and languageHello, I noticed that you removed the dubious tag from Indian American's language infobox. I read the citation See page 4, and nowhere does it say that Hindi, Urdu, and Gujarati, are the three most common languages spoken by Indian American's in that order, which is what the Wikipedia article had said. It merely says that amongst the [[Official languages of India] that aren't English, Hindi, Urdu, and Gujarati have the most number of native speakers resident in the United States of America. Urdu, and to a lesser extent Gujarati, are not exclusively spoken by Indian American's, Urdu being the official language of Pakistan. As such, many Urdu speakers are not likely to identify as Indian American, and would identify as Pakistani American instead. Thus it is incorrect to refer to those three as the 3 most commonly spoken languages by Indian Americans. PropagandaI think they should both be listed as Propaganda. --Palming (talk) 23:25, 19 April 2008 (UTC) Hi, TGA. Propaganda, apart from its technical dictionary definition, has a very negative connotation, and as such, whether a given work is propaganda is a matter of opinion. As such, articles should not describe such works as propaganda as a matter of fact, but only as an opinion that is properly attributed to a reliable source, as in the Criticism sections of such films. Describing or categorizing such films as propaganda is a clear violation of WP: NPOV. Please do not place that category in the films again. Thanks.

I am also providing permutations of the edits I'm offering to improve the article and bring it into consensus territory. It's not 3RR.

Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:55, 9 July 2008 (UTC) Vandalism-like on South AsiaDon't be childish, Goldstein's description on Sino-Tibetan relation has been cited for long time on wikipedia (See Tibet). If you can read simple English, for your POV accusation please kindly read the exact quotes from Goldstein which I just added: "While the ancient relationships between Tibet and China are complex and beyond the scope of this study, there can be no question regarding the subordination of Tibet to Manchu-ruled China following the chaotic era of the 6th and 7th Dalai Lamas in the first decades of the eighteenth century."[Goldstein, 1989] and more... "From 1751 onwards Chinese control over Tibet became permanent and remained so more or less ever after, in spite of British efforts to seize possession of this Chinese protectorate at the beginning of the twentieth century."[Gernet, Foster & Hartman, 1982] "In 1751 the organization of the protectorate took its final shape, which it maintained, except for some modifications in 1792, till its end in 1912. The ambans were given rights of control and supervision and since 1792 also a direct participation in the Tibetan government."[Petech, 1972] And please also note that TAR's status as part of PRC is worldwide accepted.(the term TAR itself is invented by PRC). Since 2007, the Dalai Lama and the TGIE prime minister have clearly state that they let the Himalayan region stay within the Chinese boundary/constitution. Do you want me to show you the quote? Please also don't make me laugh and look down on you by saying something senseless like "I am UC students b-b-blah". Even if you claim youself as "Yale phd", "Harvard professor", it still means nothing to me as (WARNING) everyone must follow the golden ruleof WP:CITE.

"I only mentioned I am a Berkeley student to make it clear that I have access to one of the books in question at the moment" I would like to correct the misconception telling you that being a CAL student, yes student, would not make one have privilage access to book published by University of Cal Press. University departments and University Press are two diferent legal entities. Oxon students would not have special access to OUP-published dictionary.

An uncivil IP vandal 219.73.86.234 was drastically editing the page, removing much cited content. This user was also wikistalking, following my every move. I was trying to get this guy off my back. He/she was not acting in line with good faith (see mine and his/her talk page). For example, I was trying to make a point that because I am a Berkeley student I have access to the books s/he was citing. These were his/her responses
and here were mine
This user's behavior was despicable and provoking (see our talk pages and above), especially with the large scale wikistalking. I was trying to protect the page from this ip address's vandalism. Initially, when the IP edited the page, they were putting in new sources, but it was very clear to me that for at least one of the sources they were adding, they were adding what they saw as the pro-PRC/anti-Tibetan point of view ignoring the pro-Tibetan text that was on the exact same. I admit I hastily reverted the first time, but they afterwards I edited their reference and added the Tibetan view also depicted in the source in question. After that, this IP started doing away with large amounts of the page with absolutely no consensus for such drastic edits. It now appears that User:Becky Sayles stands on my side that this IP's edits were overly drastic and improper. I have on and off seen IP vandals within this user's range that were also from Hong Kong (219.73.86.234 is from Hong Kong), that have committed such vandal edits to South Asia. This IP was just another one of those and the number of them has been increasing because the 2008 Olympics and Tibet. Yes I was blocked on South Asia a long time ago, when I was a relatively new user. I had only been on Wikipedia for a bit over six months and I had a distasteful introduction to Wikipedia on Dalit Buddhist movement having to deal with uncivil sockpuppets. It gave me a bad mindset while editing Wikipedia. After my 3RR, I have learned a lot more of how Wikipedia works and how it should be treated since then. I don't that 3RR should count against me right now. Also note, my other block from South Asia was caused by another Hong Kong IP 218.102.23.126 with similar motives. (if you look at their contrib records, they never were banned or blocked and they disappeared right after I was 3RR'd). I was trying to undo large amount of vandalism committed by this IP (removing large chunks of references should be considered vandalism). Note: the other party also demanded to see what references they were removing. They easily could have done that had they looked their edit diffs. Their refusal to look at the diffs should not be used to punish me as they are implying on their talk page Decline reason: If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again.

LatinI found your fields of study combination interesting. I attended the last of the Latin schools and had a couple of years, but about all that remains is being able to pick out words here and there. Jean-François Groff (who worked with Tim Berners-Lee to develop the www) has suggested Latin as an internet lingua franca rather than Esperanto. He argues that it's relatively compact, underpins most Western languages, and is better known than Esperanto. --UnicornTapestry (talk) 03:00, 5 August 2008 (UTC) New debate>Another debate has arose.

Articles for deletion is a place to share opinions on articles. People don't agree on things and it's not the end of the world. I suggest you stop assuming bad faith, just because I don't agree with your editing views. I have every right to have a different opinion than you.

You are now a Reviewer Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010. Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages. When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here. If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

Actually, I was using preview all along, the problem was, we were editing at the same time, and something or the other happened when I was trying to save an edit when there were two infoboxes. It had something to do with pressing back by accident but anyways the page is fine now. Thegreyanomaly (talk) 02:58, 20 December 2010 (UTC) RE: Color/Design sections on Classic ControllerHello again. TBH I'd rather stay out of it, since I don't contribute to the Classic Controller page; I'll give you my 2¢ though. There are some controllers that certainly need a colours/editions section, such as the GC controller and the 360 controller, since they have a large number of special/limited editions etc. While the notability of these is not cut-and-dry (I think it is probably notable but to what extent I don't know), it should probably be included in some form on these pages. Others, such as the DualShock series of controllers or, in this case, the Classic Controller don't have that many so a whole section is probably overkill. A sentence or paragraph is likely sufficient, and it doesn't need to be in its own section. For example, this (from this edit): The standard color that the Classic Controller comes in is white. In Japan, a special edition teal controller was released with Monster Hunter G. Also in Australia, a special edition blue Classic Controller was released with Sonic Colors. …could probably be cut down to something like this: Teal and blue special editions have been released alongside Monster Hunter G in Japan and Sonic Colors in Australia, respectively. …and simply added at the end of the "Classic Controller" section. The fact that the standard colour is white can be alluded to earlier in the section. Something similar can be done with the "Pro" (such as at the end of the paragraph where it already says (based on that edit anyway) "A black version is available bundled with Monster Hunter Tri, which was released on the same day in Spain and a golden version is available bundled with GoldenEye 007"). Judge Walker's rulingIn the Perry v. Schwarzenegger article, you've made repeated edits arising from your understanding that Walker ruled that "Yes on 8" did not have standing to make an appeal. As best as I can find, Walker made no such ruling. He did note that they might not have standing when denying a stay of his ruling, but that's not the same as making a positive statement, much less making a ruling. --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:46, 13 January 2011 (UTC) Wikipedia Club at BerkeleyHi Thegreyanomaly, I'm just writing to let you know that me and some Wikipedian friends are launching Wikipedia Club at Berkeley, a student club for promoting participation in Wikipedia and face-to-face collaborations.

I thought I'd let you know a little more about the issue, as I'm pretty sure why Fastily declined it. In general, semi-protection is used only when an article is regularly being vandalized--usually, regularly means no less than once every few days. Looking at the history of South Asia, I see only about 1 vandalism edit per week, which is not enough to justify semi-protection. In fact, in all of August, I only see one revert for vandalism; plus I see productive edits by unconfirmed editors. There are exceptions that might cause a page to be protected with less negative activity, like when the edits aren't just vandalism but also defamatory to living people (per WP:BLP), but that doesn't apply here. I hope that helps explain why that page shouldn't be protected at this time.

Re: Survivor: One WorldRe your messages: I put in my two cents onto the talk page. I think your assignment of Leif and Jonas, while reasonable, could not be proved without a doubt per my comment on the talk page. I added in some hidden comments that will hopefully prevent editors from filling in the blanks without a source. On a side note, I think if I were faced with adding this info in first, I probably would have just waited until Wednesday. With all of the blanks, it just leaves too much room for unsourced edits. It is bad enough with the IPs wildly speculating about who is voted out next. The blanks are just an open invite for filling things in. It one of the reasons why I dislike preloading of tables so much.

While reviewing the RfC, I noted your comment at the WiiU RfC that you looked for other editors who had edited the article recently. Your invitations looked something like this:
WP:CANVAS specifies that invitations to RfCs that you've started or have participated in should be limited, posted to presumably non-partisan individuals, neutrally-worded, and open. I think this situation is OK, but I generally try to just state the topic and and request their attention to the RfC rather than stating my opinion about what is / isn't appropriate or commenting on specific editors (like you did here.

I have indeed noticed that discussion and participated a little, but I really just wish Wednesday would get here and then the whole discussion is moot. My opinion is that the CBS provided preview is fair to use since there was no indication that it was a mistaken release on their part. While the video was pulled from the Survivor website, it has aired on TV on Sunday so it is out there in the wild. I think the spoilers from the Survivor forums where somebody dug up the unreleased press release photos is a case where the information obtained should not be used. Since they were never officially released by CBS and they were obtained through URL fuzzing, it goes past the gray area of officially released information. It was official, but obtained surreptitiously, so should not be used. I also objected to the timing of the requests. On a side note, my being an admin doesn't matter in the discussion since I'm deeply involved in the Survivor articles so administratively I can do nothing. Being an admin actually makes my editing and participating in discussions more difficult.

The only people included in this category are the people of the Far East and South Asia, as if the "Asian" term was synonymous with a human race and not the inhabitants of a geographic location (they say: white, black, Asian). For them, I consider it necessary to include that note, since, I consider the Asian term including even the Israelis.--Isinbill (talk) 16:31, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
Yes, but the Middle East is in Asia. In this I did go. If those people are Asians, I think it should be noted in the template that reason of that just were included people of Far East and south Asia, excluding people from the middle east, who are also geographically Asian. In the United States the "Asian" term is considered a non-geographic (or that's the feeling that I have) designation, only a racial designation. That would have to indicate in the template. So I included the note.--Isinbill (talk) 16:47, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Re: Help at Survivor: Cagayan
I saw the episode preview and I had written up as a comment, but I have to admit that I'm pausing in saving the comment. I'm suffering from some burnout with Survivor articles here. It all started with the massive reformat of the season articles that I'm not happy with and I haven't quite gotten over it yet. Being the primary author of the episode summaries with not much help is getting old. While I appreciated the anonymous IP writing up the first episode, I notice that is usually only me writing them. I notice that it was starting to affect my enjoyment of watching the show itself. I hadn't even watched the premiere until the day before the third episode aired. I know that doesn't explain my lack of wanting to save my comment very much, but I did want to at least acknowledge your messages to me. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:29, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
- I'm glad to see that everybody has worked out a solution. It will be interesting to see how the tribal mix-up will be resolved: absorbed, full switch, or an absorb/switch up. Looking at the preview while paused makes me think it will be an absorb with a switch. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 02:45, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

File:112th United States Congress Senators.svg
Hey, could you make this map accessible for colorblind people..? I suggest making the purple states striped red and blue, and changing the green to yellow. Prcc twenty-seven (talk) 10:15, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Prcc27: No one has ever claimed this map is not colorblind accessible. If you can find a color blind person who claims that there is a problem, then I can begin to consider an action. That color scheme has been around for a long time, so I would imagine if it were not accessible, someone would have done something (but I can be convinced otherwise). The colors for the senate maps are based on the colors used in the preceding PNG maps (e.g., File:112th_United_States_Congress_Senators.png; see commons:Category:United States Senate membership maps). I will not make the purple states striped. When I first made the map, I tried and it was very painful to look at as most of the map was striped. Thegreyanomaly (talk) 16:13, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
- Well if the purple states are going to be solid purple, then the states with independent senators should be solid as well.. maybe use different shades for dem/indep, gop/indep states. Also, I thought using green/red was a big no-no for red-green color blindness (the most common color blindness). I would change it to yellow, especially since green is usually associated with the green party. Prcc twenty-seven (talk) 20:28, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
- I don't see green anywhere on the png map... Prcc twenty-seven (talk) 20:31, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
- No, we do not need to make brand new solid colors for Dem+Ind or GOP+Ind. They are fine as is, this is a simple Senate map, we don't need more colors. Three colors for Dem, Gop, and Ind plus purple to avoid bipartisan eyestrain is enough. The green is not on the old PNG maps, because it used a different color back then. Red-Green colorblind folks can tell extreme red and extreme green apart (often/generally). If you really want me to change it yellow, I can, but it will be awhile. I have a lot to do today.

Stale draft
Greetings! I've been combing through stale drafts recently, and happened across one of yours: User:Thegreyanomaly/List of Wii games that use the Nintendo GameCube controller. As you do not appear to be currently using it, I was wondering if you would be willing to either blank it or request its deletion by tagging it with {{db-u1}}. Thanks! —Compassionate727 (T·C) 21:06, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
Asian Americans content proposals
As an editor who has contributed to Asian Americans, I'd like you to know I've been posting a number of proposals on the talk page. I have been slow-walking the proposals since late April, but few others have contributed to the discussion. Your participation in establishing a consensus for or against the proposals would help the article. Thanks! --Ishu (talk) 01:24, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
