Newari music

Thanks for your editing! Could you cite a source for your expansion at List of Asian folk music traditions. Thanks. Tuf-Kat 05:10, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Concerning your Portal Proposal

I noticed you proposed Portal:Newa and it was summarily blocked by those who opposed it. This appears to have been in violation of Misplaced Pages's policy Misplaced Pages is not censored. Therefore I've nominated the portal approval process page for deletion. The discussion and voting page can be found at Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Portal/Proposals. --Transhumanist 16:59, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

47 in Newari

Hi, I am collecting translations for the number 47 (forty-seven). So far I have 509 translations, which you can see here. Can you help and tell me how to say and write 47 in Newari? I'd be most thankful; please reply on my talk page. Thank you! — N-true 15:28, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi nice new articles but thet go under Category:Vajrayana Buddhism and Category:Newari. I have no knowledge of this sect they may be the same and one category may become one. But make sure it is under one of both of these. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 19:35, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

No having checked Newari is an ethnic group perhaps category using both this is very important to wikipedia. Please see Esoteric Transmission now. Also buddhist-stub Ernst Stavro Blofeld 19:37, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Vajrayana

I object to your unilateral and arbitrary breaking up of the Vajrayana article. It is considered polite to discuss such major changes on the talk page of the article before making such a major change. I have reverted your removal of massive amounts of information from the article. While your Esoteric transmission article might have arguable merits, I believe that your Tantra techniques article is misguided and the information it contains which is unique to Vajrayana and not other forms of tantra should be kept in the Vajrayana article where it belong. Again, please discuss first with the other editors of the article before making such major changes. Such articles are always a delicate balance of negotiation and compromise between the existing editors, and those editors should be involved when making major changes. Thanks.

Persecution of Hindus

Very thought-provoking facts you placed there. I was almost certain that Bhutan actually sanctions Hindu ceremonies. From what I understand Bhutanese just hate Nepalis, I'm not sure its really a religious hatred, more of an ethnic feud.Bakaman _Bakatalk 22:48, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Thaks for opening my eyes. I never knew so much was going on.Bakaman _Bakatalk 15:55, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Note from Editor's Desk Welcome. It has been weeks and months since the idea of newsletter was mooted among the WikiProject India Community. This would be our first full-fledged edition of our Newsletter, and we'd like to start by saying we are very happy to have you among us. This is your newsletter, and we want you to be part of it as well. Provide us with news tips here. It can be anything related to the project, from discussions to calls for help, and other interesting stuff within our community. If you have received or given any barnstars recently, do let us know. Advertisements for recruitments within your WikiProject sub-groups are also welcome. We'll run special sections, and recurring columns in the coming issues. This edition special Cartography Department (Shortcut:WP:INMAP): The Department of Cartography within the WikiProject India is a group of wikipedians who work on providing quality maps related to India. Their contributions gain more significance as we try to provide more information on places, districts and states of India. As a thumb rule, maps serve better if they are in SVG format. The location maps by the cartography department has helped us include location information based on latitudes and longitudes for a give place within India. The Indian Roadways map is a featured image, one amongst the few best road maps in the world. Still, there is more work to be done. There are 604 districts in India (see List of districts of India), and each district page needs a map of that district. You can help too. Contact the Cartography Department to learn how you can help in making the best maps in Misplaced Pages to be India-related! Signed... Edited by Chez and distributed by Lostintherush
