Revision as of 01:34, 30 December 2015

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Misplaced Pages:

• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• Contributing to Misplaced Pages
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Misplaced Pages

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Misplaced Pages's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Misplaced Pages page and follow Misplaced Pages's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or sock puppetry.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Misplaced Pages is not a forum.

The Misplaced Pages tutorial is a good place to start learning about Misplaced Pages. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Please do not add or change content, as you did to Ingrid Scheffer, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. NeilN 14:28, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Jan - 2015

Stop inserting nonsense like you have done here. Bladesmulti (talk) 15:28, 22 January 2015 (UTC) May peace and blessings be upon you Bladesmulti. Tell me what was the cause of removing my edit and calling it non-sense. If you don't agree with someone's point of view then call it non-sense. Be polite my friend. Secondly what makes it non-sense? Terabar (talk) 15:48, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Written by one non-notable writer who makes up nonsense all time, just read his blog. Other weblink is not working. Bladesmulti (talk) 15:53, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Should I quote some other source my friend to support that claim? And also recently you changed that Conversions from Hinduism are declining in Buddhism and Islam and not in Christianity and Islam. I can quote from the newspapers that atleast conversions are not declining in Buddhism. Would you agree if I provide a reliable source such as newspaper or Tv News channel? Or would you still stick to your own claim? My friend please be neutral. Terabar (talk) 16:12, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Topic is Dalits and I have a book citation that says that it is in decline since 1993. You can provide anything that you have. Bladesmulti (talk) 16:19, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Which book do you have my friend? User:Bladesmulti Tell me. I would also love to read it. :) Terabar (talk) 16:23, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

February 2015

Hello, I'm K scheik. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Dalit because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. — k_scheik 20:20, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

In regard to Dalit

Hello. I noticed that you reverted my edit on Dalit. I undid your edit because it could be interpreted as a generalization, and therefore offensive. It is also unsourced content, and could be therefore classified as an opinion. Thanks for reading. — k_scheik 20:32, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Help needed : Ambedkar's book

Hi, Thank you for your good comment on my edits to B.R. Ambedkar and his book Waiting for a Visa. I wonder if you could help further expand the wiki on Waiting for a visa? I have already added a short synopsis of each of the chapters, based on readings that I did and citations from other authors. However, this article could do with further expansion, especially on it's history (how Ambedkar came to writing it), its impact and the reason for its chosen name. Could you please help in this exercise? Thanks. Notthebestusername (talk) 12:58, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

User:Notthebestusername Sorry for replying late. Dear friend, You have done a great work by adding the content and references on both the pages. For that I am extremely thankful to you. I am also of the opinion that you should not merge the article Waiting for a Visa in B.R. Ambedkar. Rather you should keep both the articles separate as it can provide much more information on the subject. I will ask for help from another user User:Deepcruze who I think can help both of us to expand the article. May peace and blessings be with you. Terabar (talk) 12:55, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, Terabar. Notthebestusername (talk) 12:34, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Do not edit war

It is not appropriate to mark a controversial edit as "minor", as you did here at Cārvāka. You know this is at the edge of an edit war here and at Template:Hindu philosophy. I did not revert you at this time because I do not want to further an edit war. Discuss on the talk page. Ogress _smash! 00:33, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Okay, I think I shouldn't have marked it as minor. It was my mistake. User:Ogress Terabar (talk) 00:38, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Also be aware of canvassing

Regarding your message to The Rahul Jain: read WP:CANVASS. Remember that Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia, not a platform for your personal opinions. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 04:03, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

I asked about the opinion of that user. There is nothing wrong in communication with any person. Yes , Misplaced Pages is not a site of personal opinions. First look into the mirror and read this comment of yours.

"To add a personal note: I've been studying Buddhism and Hinduism for over 25 years now; studying them in combination has helped me to understand both of them better, since they are so closely related." @ User: Joshua Jonathan Terabar (talk) 04:09, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Toucher. Yet, there is a difference in explaining where your interests are, and trying to ease the interaction between editors, versus actively engaging other editors to gain support for your personal opinions. See also WP:NOT. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 04:14, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Oh man! When did I ask for any support? You are mistaken. That user User:The Rahul Jain has the free choice to comment or not. And Misplaced Pages is not a site of personal opinion? Remember? @User:Joshua Jonathan. Terabar (talk) 04:21, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Cheers. Rahul is welcome anyway. Best regards, Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 04:28, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Copyright violations

Hello. I am Diannaa and I am an administrator on this wiki. Please don't upload any more photos that you find on the Internet. Photos that you find online are copyright, and we are not allowed to display them on this wiki. You should ony upload photos that you have taken yourself. Also, prose you find online is almost always copyright, and cannot be copied here; it's against the law to do so. All prose must be written in your own words. There's more information about copyrights and how it applies to Misplaced Pages at Misplaced Pages:FAQ/Copyright. Copyright law and its application are complex matters, and you should not edit any more until you have taken the time to read and understand our copyright policies. Further copyright violations will result in you being blocked from editing. --Diannaa (talk) 19:42, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Special Barnstar
	Hi, thanks for your nice contribution to Misplaced Pages. You should not upload images from internet, otherwise you are doing good work at Misplaced Pages. Keep it up. Thanks again. Human3015  18:29, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you User: Human3015. Your comment is very much motivating. You are the first person in the whole of my Misplaced Pages career who appreciated my work. I am very much grateful to you from the bottom of my heart. Misplaced Pages needs motivating editors like you. Thanks again.:) Terabar (talk) 17:57, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Edit warring, source misrepresentation, policy misinterpretation

You have been uselessly edit warring at Template:Criticism of religion sidebar by making blind reverts and you had recently included a hoax at Dalit Buddhist movement, "A Buddhist source claimed that "300,000 Dalits are estimated" to have converted to Buddhism as part of" and you alleged rest of the paragraph to be violating copyrights.

You need to stop it now. If you don't have anything better to say on talk page, don't make blind reverts. Capitals00 (talk) 10:55, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

Dalit Buddhist movement edit warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war at Dalit Buddhist movement. 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 that Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Misplaced Pages is not acceptable in any amount, and breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. 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.

Also read WP:CV and Misplaced Pages:Quotations#Recommended_use_of_quotations carefully, small quotations are allowed. D4iNa4 (talk) 11:13, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

Just stop wasting my time. Just read the Copyright dislaimer from the website which you are adding content. Just have a look have a look at this Copyright Disclaimer. . And Misplaced Pages:Quotations#Recommended_use_of_quotations does not say to add Copyright quotes. Violation is Violation. And stop wasting my time. Terabar (talk) 11:21, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring. Thank you. D4iNa4 (talk) 11:41, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Your report

Hello Terabar. You broke the link again to the editor's block log. Let me know if you need any assistance. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 18:16, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Dear User:EdJohnston, I am not familiar with some technical tools on Misplaced Pages because I am a new user. It even takes time for me using some strange alphabets on Misplaced Pages. Thanks for correcting the link. I want to start a Sock-puppet Investigation. I don't know how to do that. But still I am trying to learn. Any help would be highly appreciated. With regards. Terabar (talk) 18:31, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

I removed a pipe symbol that kept your link from working properly. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 18:35, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

You appear to be edit warring. See my offer for how you can avoid a block. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 20:37, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

User:EdJohnston, I have clearly stated my intentions on that page. Have you changed your opinion now? Terabar (talk) 21:20, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Edit warring at Dalit Buddhist movement

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

The full report is at the edit warring noticeboard (permalink). Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 00:15, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

User:EdJohnston , at one moment you told me that I can avoid block if I write that I will try to gain consensus through talkpage. I did write that two times. *See.

Now even then you have blocked me. Will you please tell me the reason now that why did you deceive me? This is very insulting for me. You will loose trust of people if you do break promises. Now don't atleast break your promise and unblock me. Best regards, Terabar (talk) 01:33, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
