| == Advance notification: Request for later arbitration == | |||
| Hi, | |||
| I'm writing to you because you have been objective and unbiased in many matters on wikipedia in the past and I trust your judgement. I believe that I am being harassed by an admin who is abusing his powers to make POV edits on the articles on Michael Witzel and the California Hindu Textbook Controversy (he has admitted that he is a student researching such issues and so has a partisan bias on this matter). He has threatened me with blocks and bans and, based on his past history, may do so very soon. Right now, he has only made empty threats in my talk page, so i's not a problem. However, if he blocks me, then I request you to arbitrate this issue. I am informing you in advance because I will not be able to contact you if I am blocked by this admin. His name is dbachman and his user page is : | |||
| http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Dbachmann. | |||
| The threats are on: | |||
| http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Subhash_bose#Michael_Witzel | |||
| His accusations are baseless as all my edits are directly quoted from references I have cited. | |||
| If this potentially volatile situation comes to a head, I request you to be a neutral third party arbitrator on this matter. Thank you.] 23:30, 2 August 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Hi, I wanted to talk to you about ARYAN818, I'm rather fascinated by him. I've seen the contributions he has made and as a Sikh I don't agree with his views. However, one thing that I have noticed about him is that he seems to have a warrior's spirit. If he managed to use a little more logic and balance in doing things- I think he would make a great Sikh. He certainly has a Sikh warrior's spirit, which I admire and respect. Do you know anything about him?--] 00:44, 8 August 2006 (UTC) | |||

Being followed around aka Help?Hello, DaGizza, I have a small problem. Usually, I'm known as User:Plumcouch, but I created this account in order to be able to inform an admin. I wrote this on User:Yamla's discussion page:
Could you have a word with User:King Dracula, please? Best regards, --Yellowchair 12:38, 2 September 2006 (UTC) regarding Hindi Wiki
Category:Hindu politiciansUp for deletion review. There is a cat for Muslim, Jewish, Sikh, anglican etc. politicians so I don't see why there isn't a Hindu cat. Since you are an admin, your words will weigh more than mine. Rama's arrow supports the Hindu cat as well.Bakaman Bakatalk 16:22, 2 September 2006 (UTC) Thanks man.Bakaman Bakatalk 03:06, 3 September 2006 (UTC) Roman HindiIs there something wherein i can edit on Roman hindi. My devanagari typing is pathetic.nids(♂) 17:09, 2 September 2006 (UTC) I will do for hindi as per your suggestions. By the way, i just have to ask you that how you manage sanskrit wiki. I know a bit of sanskrit. I studied it till tenth. But you cant edit articles with that knowledge. How do you edit on Sanskrit wiki. And can users like me of any use on sanskrit wiki.nids(♂) 08:58, 3 September 2006 (UTC) anti-Brahmanist edits on Anti-BrahmanismHi, I could surely use help in the Anti-Brahmanism article and the Talk:Anti-Brahmanism page where I believe that User:Holywarrior is touting rabidly anti-Brahmanist statements (and edits) and demanding that self-professed anti-Brahmin Kancha Ilaiah be sourced as an authority on anti-Brahminism (an argument as absurd as quoting Hitler on anti-Semitism I should say). Thanks.Shiva's Trident 17:14, 3 September 2006 (UTC) Atal Behari VajpayeeSince you are the only helpful Indian admin (until Akash, Rama's arrow, deepujoseph etc. become admin) you may want to check out the garbge being posted on that page. Subhash bose got blocked for one week for combatting garbage like this (vio of BLP + unencyclopedic crap). Infact the page history is here. Why are we so persecuted so much? Bakaman Bakatalk 21:54, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
how do i become a member?Hei, Gizza, I'd love to join, but I edit under the name Charlene Copley now, how do I enter? Charlene, formerly known as StarLotus Vandalism by SarvagnyaHi Girik Sehgal,
I wanted to bring to your attention the edits by a particular user, Sarvagnya. This particular user is roaming over the entire wikipedia and removing all references to Hindi wherever possible. In the discussion pages he spits venom all the times. At least see the articles, histories and discussion pages of the following articles:
Jana Gana Mana Thanks for helping out on Vande Mataram. I had no problem with Bengali and Devanagri side by side either.Bakaman Bakatalk 23:57, 5 September 2006 (UTC) Hindi Misplaced PagesNamashkar bhai saab. Thanks for your suggestion. I will take time to consider this possibility. Jdas07 20:31, 6 September 2006 (UTC) Devanagari scriptHello, I am sure that your are fine. I refer to this. Now, the problem has been resolved, I would be able to do edits in Devnagri script too in Hindi wikipedia. Only problem is the slow speed of editing, and the limited time at my disposal. Thanks and plz remain in touch. --Bhadani 02:05, 7 September 2006 (UTC) Some help at this template?Hi could you help out with this template Template:Hinduism in India? Specifically, if I add template:India-stub below it, it seems to "eat it up". Also, could you tell me if you think that this is a good idea for wikipedia? Thanks, →Talk 05:54, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
Andy 08:11, 10 September 2006 (UTC)If I join that project what I will have to do? I can provide the number of Hindus residing in most of the countries in the world. I don't think I have a deep knowledge in anything else. HiHi Girik, i hope you remember. i'd left wikipedia for good a few months ago. there seems to have been a heck of battle over my Fundy Watch project. i'm distressed at all the libelous/slanderous comments flung at me in my absense. could you give me a lil' background on the events that led to the deletion of that project. I've become throuhgly dissillusioned with Misplaced Pages and the ingrained systematic bias against Indian/Hindu perspective. I dont hope to come back anytime soon! Will be busy with imp. exams this year. Regards File:England flag large.png अमेय आर्यन DaBroodey Hi thanks for the link.. very illuminating... especially the vitriol coming from certain people whom i've not even known. The problem with so called "neutral" non-Indian admins who are interested in Indian topics is that they are afflicted by what you can term "Saffron blur", seeing Hindutvadis everywhere. Rather than objectively respond to ciritcism Witzel-worshipping admins like Zora go on whining Hindutva. They view Hindutva as some sort of a monolithic and influential group. Their high handedness and apparent agenda in dealing with editorial disputes has certainly alienated me. Neeways, i'm off... wont have time for wikipedia tis year since i'll be taking A Levels, blogging takes most of my spare time. Maybe i'll return next year when i'm at uni... File:England flag large.png अमेय आर्यन DaBroodey Re:All right, I'll look at the Gita. (Personally I'm more of a Ramayan person). I'm a Brahmin off wiki though :)Bakaman Bakatalk 00:49, 12 September 2006 (UTC) CfDCategory:Hindu mathematicians (along with Cat Hindu actors) is up for deletion . The CfD has been used by User:Zora and User:Hornplease to malign me, and accuse me of "perpetrating massacre" and stuff.Bakaman Bakatalk 01:10, 12 September 2006 (UTC) seeking adviceBabub's behaviour is increasingly getting incivil. This is evident here and here. It is hard for me to continue any form of debate with him. For one, he cant defend it logically and two, he is using incivil remarks. He is also using incivil revert summaries like this. I dont want to list this incident in the Administrators noticeboard for he has done a good job in Hinduism and related articles. All i want him to concede is that Hinduism is more than Advaita vedanta. I just want to know if there is a easier way than to list the incident on WP:AN. I feel that should be the last option. Thanks and waiting for your advice.nids(♂) 19:41, 13 September 2006 (UTC) blnguyenWow, I wish he'd come back. I'm actually fearing retribution from a certain admin now for confronting him over racist comments and for supporting Blnguyen against him on WP:ANI.Bakaman Bakatalk 01:27, 16 September 2006 (UTC) Sanskrit Misplaced PagesSure, I'd definitely like that. Do you have something specific in mind? Metlin 04:42, 16 September 2006 (UTC) Ayurveda
