:We generally try to use names that are neutral as well as names that are commonly accepted. That policy is generally a good one because, particularly in disputed situations, any name at all will clash with someone or the other's world view and, without application of that policy, the article will be in an endless naming war. We have to have a functional encyclopedia so it is best to accept that and move on. You may, of course, open a discussion on the article talk page. Since you are well-informed on the situation in Kashmir, perhaps there are other ways in which you can make articles on that subject better. That will be much appreciated!

Hey Regent's Park, it's happening all over again--unreferenced smears called "media criticisms." You tagged them, in what I think was a genuine attempt at diplomacy and tact in the spirit of cooperation, rather than deleting them. I applaud you for your patience.

==Kingdom of Mysore FAR==
Hi there, Well, my position is that ] violates three Featured article criteria. These are:
*1 (b) It is poorly cited: it cites two or three unremarkable sources, at least one of which is written by a historian with publicly stated Hindu nationalist sympathies; the sources show up nowhere on Google scholar. Meanwhile all the ] (which incidentally is one of the most worked over topics in early-modern and modern Indian history) are ignored.
*1 (c) It is not comprehensive. It creates a partial history of Mysore and can't seem to decide if it is about the dynasty (the Wodeyars) or about a state. See, for example, my ] for a more balanced dynamic history.
*1 (d) it is a biased, revisionist history of Mysore, which glorifies a defunct dynasty of Hindu rulers, and minimizes the contributions of both the Muslim sultans (Haidar Ali and Tipu Sultan) and of the British. Furthermore, it glorifies a princely state into a "Kingdom," when all the others (some older than Mysore) are called states, for example, ], ]. Until their hand was forced, the primary authors were trying to get away with calling Haidar Ali and Tipu Sultan the "de facto" rulers, in order that the Wodeyars could be shown to have ruled uninterruptedly from 1399 to 1947. To put it bluntly, it is one of the most blatant Hindu nationalist snow jobs I've seen on Misplaced Pages. Read the version (from November 2007?) that passed the FAC and you'll realize what sort of garbage can become an FA. They weren't even calling it a princely state then; I did that in March of 2008.


''Spread the cheer by adding {{tls|Happy holidays}} to their talk page with a friendly message.''
Please see ] (sections 1.2 to 1.8) for a more detailed critique and please ask me any questions you have. This is not a content dispute. It is sort of the equivalent of having the Mishra dude write the ] page and then turning it into an FA. It's that bad. ]] 02:56, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you @RegentsPark: for that nice quote from Rilke. I tried to find the fuller version and came up with this (middle of the page):

And now let us believe in a long year that is given to us, new, untouched, full of things that have never been, full of work that has never been done, full of tasks, claims, and demands; and let us see that we learn to take it without letting fall too much of what it has to bestow upon those who demand of it necessary, serious, and great things.

but am having a hard time figuring out the end of that sentence. I wonder if you have the German version. It is been a long time since I passed my German requirement in graduate school by the skin of my teeth, but perhaps I could run it through Google translate and see if they come up with the same.
