Buddhist Texts

I've posted a new version of the Buddhist texts paragraph that I think is better suited to the article. I feel that the previous version gave too much weight to the writings of Dr. Ambedkar- including those particular quotations from him, without any context or discussion, could give the impression that his opinion was being presented as authoritative. If you'll notice, there are almost no individual works by another author that are sited in that section- everything is just portions of the traditional scriptures. As several authors have made attempts at creating a single-volume introduction to the scriptures, it seems more balanced to give some attention to several of them, rather than focusing entirely on Dr. Ambedkar's personal views on a 'proper' understanding of Buddhist scripture. --Clay Collier 10:48, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Agree with the change. But would like to mention that the Author has set out clearly in the introduction that "The Buddha and His Dhamma" is a compilation and assembly plant. He claims no originality of the text. I request you to follow the link to the book and read beyond the 'Introduction'. I am sure you will read it to the end. Regarding Babasaheb Ambedkar; There can hardly be a greater authority on Buddhism.--Yeditor 11:52, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Some advice on your edits

I have reverted your edits in the Vishnu article. They were strongly pov, and not referenced properly. Some of your other edits also seem problematic to me. Please consider the following:

• If you add something, try to write it as neutral as possible and back it up with sources.
• Don't delete links and text only because yout think it is not supporting your personal pov.
• Please read WP:NPOV

Vandalism in Caste Article

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism, and if you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you.

Based on your history, you are a persistent vandal. I will report you the next time this happens.Netaji 08:55, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

in accordance with wikipedia rules, I am going to put warning templates for every act of vandalism. If you persist after three warnings, you will be reported as per rules.

Hello. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Otherwise, people might consider your edits to be vandalism. Thank you. Netaji 12:06, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

This is your second warning for vandalism:

Thank you for experimenting with Misplaced Pages. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

You will be reported for Personal attacks

In accordance with wikipedia rules, this is your first warning against personal attacks. Please see Misplaced Pages's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. You have two more warnings, after which I will report you.Netaji 12:12, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

This is now your second warning. You have one more warning:

Please do not make personal attacks on other people. Misplaced Pages has a policy against personal attacks. In some cases, users who engage in personal attacks may be blocked from editing by admins or banned by the arbitration committee. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Please resolve disputes appropriately. Thank you. Netaji 12:14, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

This is your final warning:

This is your last warning. If you continue to make personal attacks, you may be blocked for disruption. Netaji 12:19, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

What is your problem Yeditor? There is no need for racist insults just because Netaji is right.Bakaman%% 15:45, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

You are dangerously close to violating WP:3RR rule

If you violate WP:3RR rule I will report you for that also.Netaji 12:21, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Personal attacks and 3RR

Would you like to be blocked for personal attacks or for 3RR on Caste? Take you pick... either way, its 12h William M. Connolley 17:19, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

You have been temporarily blocked from editing for disrupting Misplaced Pages by making personal attacks. If you wish to make useful contributions, you are welcome to come back after the block expires. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 00:16, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

3RR does not apply in case of Vandalism,the diff above suggests a personal attack which should have attracted NPA warning.However I have seen worst cases where no action has been taken.Holy|Warrior 14:29, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

I would suggest Yeditor to go for WP:RFC,I think he is subject to systematic harassment from fundywatch brigade.Holy|Warrior 14:38, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Ah yes, the fundywatch brigade, I see HolyWarrior has done some recruiting no? Bakaman _Bakatalk 16:06, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism

Please do not remove content from Misplaced Pages. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. You give Netaji a warning for vandalism while you vandalize the Manusmriti page. Stop the hypocrisy, were trying to build an encyclopedia, not a megaphone for anti-Brahmin literature.Bakaman _Bakatalk 15:54, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
