Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 15:35, 9 September 2006

Have you tried the Advanced options in your Recent changes user preferences settings? It requires a modern browser to work and is disabled by default.

Unlike the normal "recent changes" page, these options can summarize edits to the same page and let you dynamically expand and collapse the list items. For multiple edits to the same page, it also provides a single "changes" link which will show you a view of the differences (diffs) between these combined edits and the last non-recent revision.

After changing the Advanced options, the "Recent changes" list takes effect immediately and can be reversed by unchecking any option.

Because of their length, the previous discussions on this page have been archived. Each archive has 50 threads of discussion. If further archiving is needed, see Misplaced Pages:How to archive a talk page.

Islamic Wikiproject Award

Would you be so kind as to go to the discussion about the Islamic Wikiproject Award? This has been a proposal that has lingered for donkey's yonks. I think the image is acceptable as a WP:PUA, but don't think the image is in line with most of the images at Misplaced Pages:Wikiproject awards. The design is not well supported, and right before I was going to archive the debate for lack of support, someone else moved it to the Wikiproject awards page.

The current discussion is going on here: Misplaced Pages:Barnstar_and_award_proposals/New_Proposals#Another_image. Your input is appreciated. --evrik 03:16, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Vandalizing a page?

Dear Gurubrahma,

I was trying to add more information about the 2005 Brass Rat as I am an owner of that said rat, am a member of that class, attended the ring premiere, so know/remember all the details that are contained in our class ring. I'm confused as to why you wrote back saying that's vandalizing the page. Am I missing something here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.43.122.130 (talk • contribs) (originally unsigned but later the anon registered) --Hgmaryc 07:29, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

All of my additions are backed up by the brochure, which is found on the 2005 Ringcomm site. The ringcomm site was already linked to the 2005 ring picture in the chart detailing each individual class ring. Because I was contributing to that portion which was specific to the 2005 ring, I don't understand you when you say that the site is about the Brass Rat in general. I don't understand your reasoning behind your response. Yes, I understand you must err on the side of caution. But I don't understand why you objected to the addition of information about the specific class ring in the space given for that topic.

Here is the brochure itself, backing up everything I wrote, including the bit about "ZZZ." And a close up picture of the bezel clearly shows this item. http://web.mit.edu/2005ringcomm/brochure.pdf --Hgmaryc 07:47, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

AIV

The reason I reported it when I did, is that an IP very similar to 207.63.191.182 vandalized the Ruby page after a final warning. When I did an IP trace, 207.63.191.182, 207.63.189.254 and 207.63.189.210 all were registered to the same address in Illinois. I figured he was continuing to vandalize pages from different computers at that address. Ramsquire 15:34, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

User:TerryJ-Ho (creator of the AfD) said that he found a source and that he was changing his vote (to keep). That is why I removed it, because there should not be an AfD then right?Bakaman _Bakatalk 17:58, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I am not sure whether you can read my talk page. I am new. Copy Pasting my talk. Are you aware of Swadhyay page controversy?

Swadhyayee 03:07, 31 August 2006 (UTC)User talk:Swadhyayee Jump to: navigation, search 29/08/2006.

The Readers & Editors pl. bear with me. I am using editing for the first time and am likely to miss the correct page.

I want to add to : Swadhyay or Pandurang Shashtri Athavale.

I was associated with Swadhyay or Pandurang Shashtri Athavale in the activities appearing on www.swadhyay.org. www.swadhyay.org is created by The Office of Swadhyay and/or Pandurang Shashtri Athavale.

There are controversial claims about Swadhyay or Pandurang Shashtri Athavale and there is a clash between editors whether to add a particular matter or not.

If a thing can be defined with the help of physics or chemistry, it can be decided whether a particular thing can be added or removed. So can not be done for a human being or social or religious activities.

From the time June, 2000, there is deviation from what is claimed on www.swadhyay.org. Even prior to June,2000, the image of Pandurang Shashtri Athavale or Swadhyay was always glorified or exaggerated.

I am not out to defame Pandurang Shashtri Athavale or lower the image of Swadhyay. Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia and changing facts have to be incorporated in it.

Late Mr.Pandurang Shashtri Athavale is popularly known as Dada. Dada means elder brother in Marathi - An Indian Language spoken in State of Maharashtra. Here-in-after, I shall refer Pandurang Shashtri Athavale as Dada. Dada gave discourses upon message of Srimad Bhagwad Geeta - A scripture of Hindus. He motivated people to use one's god gifted abilities to speak, move, think, hear for selfless work which he called Kruti-Bhakti. Based on this principle/logic his followers known as Swadhyayees moved from house to house and went to Indian villages at one's own cost and spreaded the message of Srimad Bhagwad Geeta and nurtured these activities. The number of followers went on increasing and at present it could be in millions but that does not necessarily mean that the followers observe dictates of Srimad Bhagwad Geeta henceforth shall be referred to as Geeta.

Dada also motivated Swadhyayees to involve in money producing experiments for spread of renovation of Vedic culture. Experiments known as "Yogeshwar Krushi", "Shree Darshan", "Vruksh-Mandir", "Amrutalayams", "Matsya-Gandha" and so on. The financial returns along with donations received were collected in nearly 100 trusts created for Swadhyay activities. The trustees were dedicated Swadhyayees and Dada was not a trustee. Dada used to say that The President of Swadhyay activities was God (Lord Yogeshwar).

Around June, 2000, Dada told trustees that The Swadhyay activities were his ownership and he was handing over reign of These activities to her adopted daughter Smt.Jayshree a.k.a. Dhanshree Srinivas Talwakar popularly known as Dada. Simultaneously, all the neutral trustees from all trusts were removed and replaced by Didi and her husband Srinivas Talwalkar a.k.a. Rao Saheb. Dada used to take blank resignation letters from the trustees in advance.

This was not well received by old dedicated Swadhyayees who had helped in foundation and nurture of these activities from day 1.

This was protested by old Swadhyayees and it resulted in violent attacks on old Swadhyayees by comperatively new Swadhyayees. The first attempt had taken place on 28th January, 2001 on Mahesh Shah an industrialist.

After an year, In June, 2001, The Hon. Ex-Chief Justice of High Court at Ahmedabad and Andhra Pradesh declared to media that Didi was using money and muscle power against old Swadhyayees, therefore he was submitting his resignation to Dada. He told the media that The funds of the trust in securities were valued at Indian Rupees Two Hundred Crores and property valued at Indian Rupees Five Hundred Crores. All the facts here-in are documented in Indian Newspapers. This fact had appeared first in "Gujarat Samachar" and later in all Gujarati newspapers.

Subsequently, number of old Swadhyayees became victims of violence and faced false criminal cases. The criminal cases were over 100 filed in rural Gujarat & Maharashtra ( Indian States) against various old Swadhyayees and/or ex-trustees. In 22 identical cases, an appeal was preferred by one Pankaj Trivedi and others in High Court at Ahmedabad. The High Court ruled in the matter in favour of Pankaj Trivedi and quashed all criminal cases at one go. The High Court further observed and recorded that the language of all 22 cases were word by word same and cases had been filed by different persons miles away from each other. The Court hence stated that the cases were filed in retalliation of bonafide civil case filed by Pankaj Trivedi for opening of a temple which was closed down by Didi to harass Pankaj Trivedi. The temple at Bhav-Nirjar, Ahmedabad had come in existence with the help of Pankaj Trivedi. The Judgement is documentary evidence and can be varified from The High Court at Ahmedabad.

Those who were assaulted and their bones broken are Vinod Shah, Shankar Thakkar of Mumbai, Vinoo Sanchania of London while he was in Jamnagar, Gujarat, India. One Satish Rughani of Rajkot was assaulted in his house. He just came out after bath and his towel was thrown and he was naked. His wife was locked up in other room. Satish Rughani had accompanied Dada for receiving Megsasay Award.

Some of the old Swadhyayees were arrested like core criminals by police from other states and brutally beaten on the way to the state of police and in lock-up too against the legal provisions not to use 3rd degree for confession.

On court dates or while the arrested were presented before The Magistrate, thousands of Swadhyayees from villages were summoned to the court who tried to kill some of the arrested old Swadhyayees. Usually, police had to resort to cane charging to disperse the mob and protect the arresteds lives.

All these facts are documented by newspapers. Cases were filed against number of newspapers by Swadhyayees for reporting such un-becoming attitude of Swadhyayees against old Swadhyayees. The Press Council of India decided in favour of newspapers. In English, a magazine "India Today" had published an article highlighting wrongs of Swadhyay.

Pankaj Trivedi was killed on 15th June, 2006 outside Ellisbridge Gymkhana, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. The police arrested eight to ten senior Swadhyayees. One of them was Ghanshyam Chudasama, P.A. to Dy. Comm. of Police under whose jurisdiction Pankaj Trivedi was killed. Ghanshyam Chudasama was working with some other office and using some influence, he had got himself transferred to Dy. Comm. of Police. As confessed by him, the plot to kill Pankaj Trivedi took place in The High Court premises when the order in favour of Pankaj Trivedi was passed.

Pankaj Trivedi was a green card holder and shuttling between U.S.A. and India. He went to U.S.A. just about 3 months before his life was taken away. He was harassed at U.S. air-port. When he came out of air-port, 4 white-skin people in uniform accosted him and warned of not to speak a word about Swadhyay wrongs while he was to stay in U.S.A.

Next day, Home Security Agency raided Pankaj Trivedi's house in U.S. A. as some one has printed some writing in Urdu with his photo along with photo of Bin Laden and this writing was passed to U.S.A. police stating that Pankaj Trivedi was a Bin Laden associate and threat to President Bush. Home Security Agencied investigated this matter and found Pankaj Trivedi was innocent. These facts can be varified from Home Security Agency, U.S.A.

SwadhyayeeSwadhyayee 03:07, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Why do you assume that Swadhyay and Swadhyay Parivar are one thing. What I mentioned was not my opinion, it's the disclosing of facts. Since the matter is not in front of me now, I can't say what could you have thought being my opinion. Could you copy-paste my text so I can recheck it. Swadhyay Pariwar is trying to monopolise the activities dictated in Hindu religious scripture Srimad Bhagwad Geeta. Search Google and you will come across Jain Swadhyay Centres. Since you say, even if my actions were wrong, redirecting Swadhyay to Swadhyay Pariwar is also not a right thing. If you are conscious about wikipedia to remain an encyclopedia, you should not encourage such monopolisation of some dictate of Geeta.

Hope you will re-consider this.

With Regards,

Swadhyayee 14:13, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar

Hi Gurubrahma,

many thanks for the barnstar you just added to my talk page — my first one, yeahhhhh.... Schutz 08:50, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

SWADHYAY

Sorry Gurubrahma, as you put comments on my talk page and simultaneously my actions were reverted. If debated properly, I am sure my views will be convincing to all. I wanted you to understand and remove the re-direction to "Swadhyay Pariwar". I just joined day before yesterday and not familiar with use of tools. I have even not been able to read instructions. I will do so. I am not able to read or understand history who made what change. I am learning. Was it superghosh who reversed my actions?Swadhyayee 09:58, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Copyvio comprehensive template

Sorry for the delayed response. Actually, what I'm doing with this is simply copying + pasting the text from the bottom of the {{copyvio}} template, where it says "For maintenance use only". It's quite handy. (|-- UlTiMuS 01:21, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

question about Category:Polygamists

Is it neccessary to have people like Alexander the Great, Saddam Hussein, Moses, Muhammad all categorised here? If not, how can one go about disputing addition people not specifically relevant to this subject, to such categories? --hydkat 16:56, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

fine, I put it back... but I still think this category is very unfair. --hydkat 17:12, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

INCOTW

You voted for International Dolls Museum, this week's Indian Colloboration of the Week. Please come and help it become a featured-standard article. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 17:55, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello Guru. I would like your opinion regarding INCOTW. Ganesh, a few days before going on his break, introduced this new rule to INCOTW about allowing only stubs. Both Dwaipayanc and I feel that the rule is too strict and do not allow better articles to be improved through the process. What would you suggest I do in this case? Should I bring back the old rules? - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 18:13, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes. I too get that feeling sometimes. We are generating a lot of FAs, but not paying much attention to other areas where it would be ok not to have FAs and focus on a lot of good articles (like religions of india, languages of india, geographical locations) . The only Indian project really successful at the moment is Project:Indian cities, and that too is driven by a desire to see home cities as FA. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 13:48, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Akshaya Patra

Hi Gurubrahma. From their website, they list their address as "The Akshaya Patra Foundation". Do you think I ought to rename the article to Akshaya Patra Foundation? Do you think it is a mistake to refer to them as an NGO? --BostonMA 21:59, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Bangalore meetup

Hi, this is HPN. I read your message about the Bangalore meetup. In fact, I happened to meet Sundar at M.G.Road on Monday and discussed couple of things about it. We decided that we could talk over phone (rather than mail) to speed things up. IIM-B could be a nice venue. We could discuss this over email/phone, since it is hard to keep track of wiki talk pages at different places. mail me at hpnadig at gmail dot com. Sundar has my phone number. --HPN 15:32, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh, it was really nice to receive a message from you, and thanks for the information about Bangalore meetup. However, Sundar's page indicates deletion of the information. I am a little confused. --Bhadani 15:35, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
