	# This is a safe space. You can say whatever you like on this page without fear of retribution or attack, from me or other users.
	# This is a constructive space. Positive criticisms designed to better the encyclopedia and its environment are welcome, but negative comments designed to belittle a person or point of view are not.

	Hi there, thank you once again for your kind words and for reaching out to help a stranger. I had written, "I need to deal with things in my real life," and obviously what I did was not a productive manner of doing so (how is that for understatement?). Seriously, depression does hurt, though I have been in a curiously good mood over the past day. Rather unable to sleep, too. We'll see if that improves as I get adjusted to things. I love your username, BTW. Thanks again. --]] 13:06, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

	== Cattle Draft ==

	I've posted a second draft of the cult section underneath your draft. Overall its almost identical to what you wrote but with a few more background details like place names and some relevent details on Isis (was depicted as a cow etc), Could you look over it and give feedback.

	If you're satisfied, we can get to work on the citation problem.

	Could you also look over these two drafts for the ''related phenomena'' section and give me some feedback on them. Just content WP:OR, WP:POV WP:V,WP:RS right now. We'll worry about notability and weight later. I need to get good practice down first.

	== Regarding our irc discussion concerning ] ==

	:Hi.Thanks for your attention to this matter.

	::I wanted to summarize the issues that I have with the article. The most recent edits by ] cite a reference which I can establish is nonexistent. The "book" that he cites does not include a publisher or an ISBN number. I went to my university library (http://www.lib.utexas.edu) and asked the librarian for it. She searched and found no such book in any library on campus or off campus in the National academic databases. The "online ref" that he cites is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JatHistory/ is a Yahoo groups page that is not a peer-reviewed source and thus does not satisfy ]. He also cites another book:''Sindhi Culture'', By '''U.T. Thakkur'''. Such a book does exist and I will look at it later today. Based on his bad faith edit of the previous nonexistent ref, Isuspect that he is mis-citing the reference.Plus, if you look at complaints against him and his attacks against me in my talk page you will see that the user seems to have an ] and ] bias that I suspect is coloring his edits. Similar problems exist with ] (which he has been editing with the same false refs).I tried to initiate discussion with him but he responded with threats and what I feel is incivility per ] (see above diff of my talk page).

	::That's my side of the issue anyway.Thanks again for your investigation into these matters and I hope that we can all reach a reasonable conclusion concerning this unfortunate matter. Regards.] 18:56, 6 October 2006 (UTC)


	::Right. I have the book "Sindhi Culture" by Thakkur with me right now. The book is a University of Bombay Sociology Series No 9 publication and has a total of 250 pages (including index).It is divided into 5 Chapters. Cradle, People & Occupation, Human Relations, Religion, Spirit World, Rituals and Re-formation of society. I have run through the pages and

	#I have not found this sentence " Humiliating conditions were imposed on the Jats depriving them of many civil rights.This sentence is not there anywhere.

	#
	This sentence:Th Brahmim chamberlain who usurped the throne of Rajput King Sahasi II went to Brahmanabad, he enjoined upon the Jats and Lohanas not to carry swords, avoid velvet or silken cloth, ride horses without saddles and walk about bare-headed and bare-footed" anywhere" is there on page 14. However, it is ONE sentence that does not necessarily bolster the claim of systemic discrimination against the Jats.

	#In fact, several of MY assertions concerning Qasim are SUPPORTED by theis book viz pgs 14-15


	{{cquote\|\|Both Hinduism and Buddhism flourished side by side. The king was a Brahman and the governors were generally Buddhists. The ruler of Brahmanadabad, Agham Lohana also had professed Buddhism and his spiritual guide Samani Budhugi owned an idol-house or temple which was called Budh Nawwihar.}}

	{{cquote\|When Muhammad Kasim invaded Sind in 711 AD, Buddhism had no resistance to offer to their fire and steel. The rosary could not be a match for the sword and the terms Lov and Peace had no meaning to them. The carried fire and sword wherever they went and obliterated all that came their way.Muhammad triumphantly marched into the country, conquering Debal etc. one after the other in quick succession, and in less than a year and half, the far-flung Hindu kingdon was crushed, the great civilization fell back and Sind entered the darkest period of it's history.}}

	::Nasty little bugger wasn't he, eh?

	{{cquote\|There was a fearful outbreak of religious bigotry in several places and temples were wantonly desecrated. AT Debal, Nairun and Aror temples were demolished and converted into mosques.(Resistors) were put to death and women made captives.The Jizya was exacted with special care.(Hindus) were requird to feed Muslim travellers for three days and three nights.}}

	{{cquote\|The Arabd left no legacy behind except a few colonies and a few families as t menorial of their conquest. They had no constitutional doctrine (implying that the natives did),no higher culture (author takes position that pre-Islamic Sind was culturally superior), and no superior art or language.}}

	There is more on p16 qbout forced conversions and other atrocities imflicted on Hindus.

	Gee, thanks. I have a lot of stuff I can add in bin-Qasim from here :-).

	#I do not see any mention of atrocities inflicted on the Jats by Hindus in this book. The tone of the bok is positive to the pre-Islamic Jats, Hindus and Buddhists and is generally pejorative to the old <font color="#ffffff">Ay-Rabs.</font>] 21:51, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

	== Protection ==

	I didn't mean to intrude on or disrupt your mediation, which does look productive. I had noticed a long discussion recently over the propriety of editing while in mediation, followed by Whiffle's major edits, and altogether it seemed like a good idea to cut short the bickering and edit warring. If Whiffle is reasonable I'm sure the protection can be lifted quickly and if not a block may be called for. Either way, feel free to remove the protection yourself at any time, or you can ask me to do so. Thanks for mediating. Cheers, -] 18:56, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

	::I think that would be a bad idea, given Whiffle's attitude (as I see it). I thinnk the main reason the discussion there has died is because trying to discuss something with Whiffle is like trying to talk to a swarm of bees: sure, they may hear what you're syaing, but that doesn't stop them from buzzing all over and doing whatever they want. I've asked another admin to take a look at Whiffle's edits to determine what, if anything should be done about his less-than productive track record so far.

I had compiled a page following what I felt were bad edits to a noticeboard and have kept it since, this was while he was editing under {{vandal\|NBGPWS}}. After he changed his name I kept the list of incidents and it just happens that many of the people coincide with that articles as they seem to know eachother off wiki, or butted heads in the past. That is why it seems odd that I am introducing it.

	Hi, Che -- I think the Starwood spamming is clear case of policy violation, therefore not a case for mediation. I think ] about ], and how that is a precedent for no internal links from perfomers/presenters to the festival, are relevant. I don't think this case should have ever gone to mediation. As I seriously doubt anyone who is familiar with WP linkspam policies would support this google bombing attempt, how could a "neutral" mediator who is also familiar with WP policy even be found? In addition to WP policy, I think the consensus on the charges against Matisse show community consensus that it was a clear-cut case of spamming. So, my question is, what's the best way to deal with the spammers at this point? --] ]<font color="navy">♦</font>] 23:33, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

	Hi, Che - Just to clarify my statement above: I didn't mean to declare that the attempted mediation should be abandoned. Rather that, given some of what has (or has not) transpired, I question whether it was the most effective or appropriate approach to the situation. Perhaps the RfC should have been done first, and maybe the problem could have been taken care of that way. But if you think you can get mediation to work with the parties involved, I certainly welcome you to come on in as mediator :-) --] ]<font color="navy">♦</font>] 06:15, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

	Greetings, Che - I would be happy to have you mediate the issue. Unlike BostonMa, however, I do believe that a look at the history of this issue is important, and the behavior of the people who have initiated it. I feel that my actions have been steered by the very people who turned around and objected to them, some of whom have made some rather nasty accusations and assumptions of bad faith, and now seem to want to set the bars much higher on the standards for inclusion of input than usual. Kathryn's statement above is an example: 3 statements on the futility or inappropriatness of the mediation, 3 accusations of spamming and one of "google-bombing" in a single paragraph! My attempts to find a middle-ground position and my removal of external links seem to only encourage this. I would welcome an objective view. ] 20:12, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
