Hey Neo. This source is excellent thus restored it . If he is using review articles or other high quality secondary sources that he was involved with writing and accurately reflexes them I am happy.

OK, you seem to know his history better. So no problem. neo (talk) 16:50, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Re:

I don't really think you needed to point towards WP:COMMONSENSE on this one amigo. The protest to the PROD is okay but then again is notability not required for everything? I don't know if I missed something...? MM (Report findings) 10:13, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

When articles about living people are created, sometime aim of creator is undue publicity to benefit the subject. But when articles about locations are created, aim of the creator is to add to existing knowledge about our earth. Hence we should look at such articles from different perspective and should not apply wiki rules blindly. If we go by wiki rules we will have to PROD thousands of articles in lists like List of United Kingdom locations, for example Abbey, Devon. neo (talk) 10:44, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

You raise a fair point. I'll bear that in mind. I'm still sort of learning the works, but then again aren't we all always learning? Life is one big learning experience right? MM (Report findings) 11:11, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Mahāvīra (mathematician)

Look, I've about had it with people editwarring over biographies of mathematicains over apparently silly nationalistic or religious reasons, as you and User:Neo. are apparently engaged in. If I find either one of you introducing silly mistakes like changing "9th century" to "10th century" or misstating "we have written his result in modern notation" as "he wrote this in modern notation", in direct contradiction to what the sources are saying, you are going to find yourself on the wrong side of a block per WP:COMPETENCE, just like this guy. —Ruud 09:25, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

I had searched whole history of the article. During this search 9th century/10th century changes appeared before my eyes. Then I removed text from lead and I was supposed write intro line. Somehow I typed 10th century instead of 9th century. Before I could have second look, you corrected it within minutes. It was inadvartant mistake and I am sorry for that. And it got nothing to do with that change in article name from Mahāvīra (mathematician) to Mahavira (mathematician). That another user is pushing his religious agenda by 'online conversion' of historical rulers to his own religion. And I have complained about it on ANI. neo (talk) 09:48, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Temporary sections added per your request. Please change them as soon as possible for you, since "Temporary section 1", "Temporary section 2", etc. shouldn't be kept any longer than necessary. Nyttend (talk) 17:03, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the view Neo. If you plough through the multiple references you will see he was both a Software Engineering pioneer and a graphics pioneer and made significant contributions. Once again, thanks for the work. Regards, Catscar.23:50, 10 June 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Catscar (talk • contribs)

Hi.I notice you recently changed/edited , AAP page HQ address citing "we don't use full address," Whereas ,these Indias' other political parties (eg.Congress party,BJP ,Lok Satta Party , Samajwadi party and Nationalist Congress Party etc.) article/pages have their full Headquarter addresses and nobody has objections .Pls correct them or AAP page .Thank you for your edits .Keep doing the good work.

Online religious conversion of ancient Indian Kings

Note

Thanks. I also see no reason why the title cannot be changed to Diwali (Jainism) for the reasons I have given. If the other poster is not interested, you may wish to look into the matter yourself, eventually, after the AfD has been put to rest, now that the nominator has gone.--Zananiri (talk) 16:04, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Rahul

I know almost nothing about Rahul Gandhi and therefore have no opinion about him or his politics etc. I vaguely recall that he is a part of the well-known Gandhi family but that is about it. However, edit warring about the Pappu term is not going to achieve anything and it seemed to me that discussion was mosly taking place in the wrong forum, ie: at WT:INB and user talk pages rather than at Talk:Rahul Gandhi. That, the BLP nature of the article and the fact that the INB thread seemed to be suggesting that there might be something derogatory in the Pappu term are the sole reasons why I reverted your addition - I didn't even bother looking at the sources for its use. Please can you continue discussion on the article talk page. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 10:43, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Your additions at Rahul

Hi.. TheOne ;) Are you sure that your recent additions at Rahul Gandhi are ok according to WP policies. To me it appears like an attempt to tarnish his image (whatever he has). For ex. this one without quote looks like edited by BJP not a NPOV wiki editor.--Vigyani_talk 11:10, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

I tried to recall his positive side. For the moment I can't. Also I thought as there are pro-Rahul editors they will include his positive sides to balance the section. I have included his 'youth icon', dalit house visits. On some topics we all suffer from POV but I will try to find and include more of his positive sides for the sake of NPOV. neo (talk) 11:32, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Now perhaps I have added more praise than criticism. And now I can add only 300 characters to that section due to edit box 5000 characters limit. Refs eat up too much characters. But now I think pro-Rahul should not have complaint that my edits are 'BJP POV'. neo (talk) 15:49, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Deva Devali

Hello
On looking at this I’m thinking that when I made this page I conflated two different events in the Jain calendar together, is that correct? If so, my apologies for any complications that may have caused (it's been difficult to appreciate this amongst all the argument around the subject.
As for the Diwali (Jainism) article, it's looking good; can I suggest we propose at Talk:Diwali the section at Diwali#Jainism be trimmed back to a summary (for the same reason as last time, and that the stuff shouldn’t have been re-instated without a reason). what do you think? Moonraker12 (talk) 16:34, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

I grew up in India but even I didn't know proper Diwali name in Jainism. It looks that they don't have special name. Deva Diwali looks like one of the important days during Jain Diwali just like there are many important days during Hindu Diwali. Someone may write better article Deva Diwali in future. So much argument is ridiculous and useless.

And yes, Diwali#Jainism should mention only summary as separate article exists. I think no need to propose on talkpage. You should do it directly or I will do it. neo (talk) 17:12, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Rahul Gandhi, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Narayana Murthy (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

hahaha I had thought that he will use IP or will scrap his retirement plan. Not so easy for wikiaddict to retire. But to the best of my knowledge, he has right to abandon his old account. He just need to declare his old account. neo (talk) 18:50, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Hmm... ok, I'll declare the old acount. I wasn't sure of the correct procedure. Cheers. Rahul Jain (talk) 19:27, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

I have placed a redirect from the old account to this one. Would it be sufficient? Rahul Jain (talk) 19:31, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:ChandraguptaMaurya.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:ChandraguptaMaurya.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:59, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Spots

Hmm. Does a leopard ever change its spots?

Then why change skin? I thought he is retired. 90% time he keep removing contents but still he is allowed to edit. neo (talk) 14:28, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Just opportunistic timing of announcing meaningless retirement to avoid scrutiny and plot return. You know what happened to the boy who cried wolf. I see (http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Qwyrxian) the matter is being investigated. I think you could add the unnecessary AfDs, which you listed at the last Dev Diwali AfD, to your remarks about questionable and unacceptable behaviour and actions by this user. See my comment here and look at the revision history of the article and timing of the AfD. Just because of a difference of opinion about a category. Spoit or selfish children react that way.http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:Shyamsunder&oldid=543612457#Note - --Zananiri (talk) 11:37, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

• I think you've done the correct thing with Rama. All three Samsara articles should also be given the same treatment without the IAST and also all the three Atman articles as well.--Zananiri (talk) 20:22, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Re: Free images

July 2013

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on 2002 Gujarat violence. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Darkness Shines (talk) 08:40, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

2002 Gujarat violence

I wanted to explain what happened, because I think maybe I wasn't clear enough. You can, of course, just delete this. Okay, originally, I came to that article because I saw your request on RegentsPark's talk page to revert to your preferred version. I took a look at the article and talk page, and saw two edit requests. At this point, I had expressed no editorial preferences, and so was not WP:INVOLVED, and thus could act as an admin on the article, which I did, by adding the dispute template (completely non-controversial; every protected page should have either a large or small template indicating it's protected), and by declining your request to rollback the page to an earlier version. There are times where it is administratively appropriate to choose an earlier version before protecting, but it's almost never appropriate for another admin to overrule the original decision not to do that; plus there were legitimate concerns that DS had raised that I could not investigate at the time which would make rolling back there forbidden.

Then, over the course of time, I saw a number of comments on the talk page that I felt I needed to respond to; I intended to do so first as an admin providing policy advice, but over time I realized that some people might consider me WP:INVOLVED — this means I'm involved in the content dispute, and thus per the rules can't take administrative actions on the article. Essentially, I started out neutral and uninvolved, then switched over to an involved editor.

Now, having said that, as an editor I can still warn you or anyone else if your editing is violating policy. I can even (just like you did) take you to ANI or another noticeboard and request that you be blocked. I just can't make the block myself; another admin (or a consensus of editors, if I used a noticeboard) would need to make that decision. So I'm not "threatening" you...but I am letting you know that if you continue with the same behavior, I will seek assistance to make sure that disruptive behavior stops.
