Regarding My Article on Sanskrit

Hi Kris,
I am Bsskchaitanya and was the author of the article in talk page of Sanskrit on which you have commented. Some person wrote about sanskrit underestimating it. So, i wrote an explanation for him against his view.

Anyway, I am ardent fan of sanskrit even from childhood. But as i started gathering knowledge about it in terms of history, language and literature. I understood that, it was also a normal language but grown into a great powerful language in due course of time.

U specified some people as grammarians, but i prefer to call them as linguists. There were many grammar trditions existed before panini. Even i can give their references (u can refer a book in telugu named "Laghu Siddanta Kaumudi" for all the history before Panini). But Panini was the person who developed structural, descriptive and generative linguistics in sanskrit. He was the turning point in the history of sanskrit.

Nobody knows what was the exact meaning of vedas. Many times i asked some vedic pandits what was the meaning of their chants, the answer in negative.

A classical example will be,

• Take the starting verse of Rigveda, Agnimīlé purohitam. We find different interpretations from different people.

• But ask what is the meaning of any sentences in literature after Panini, we will really enjoy the beauty of sanskrit.

I can say only one thing my brother. you wrote about me that some troll,etc., i dont have any bad feeling. Because, The ultimate reality has no language, no qualities. It is great. As my guru Swami Vivekananda, an advaita vedantin told, "It is sin to say a human sinner".

U are welcome to visit my page and view my articles. Have a nice time, Brother, Take care.

I believe in only in truth and nothing Else

re: Stalking

Kris, I'm sorry to say that I'll not be able to intervene in any personal disputes over the next few months as I'm going to be very busy. Please approach another admin. -- Sundar 12:00, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you Srkris - I appreciate your kind gesture. Might I suggest that you modify in the barnstar design to make the central circle saffron in color? Rama's arrow 16:38, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Barnstar_and_award_proposals/New_Proposals#Hinduism_Barnstar

Hi Srkris, all barnstars technically have to be checked here to see if they are really needed. So far, everyone says we definitely need a Hinduism barnstar but think a better image is needed. Please see the page and the comments made by Rama's Arrow above. Right now it is too plain. Thanks for going into all this effort! Gizza 11:36, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Sure. Thank you.-Bharatveer 03:54, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Do your worst

I didn't mention in the edit summary that it was you who inserted the link. According toi WP policy it is not allowed to insert links to forum websites. - Parthi 21:08, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Links normally to be avoided

Except for a link to a page that is the subject of the article or is an official page of the subject of the article, one should avoid:

1. Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain once it becomes a Featured article.
2. Any site that misleads the reader by use of factually inaccurate material or unverifiable research. See Reliable sources.
3. Links that are added to promote a site, that primarily exist to sell products or services, that have objectionable amounts of advertising, or that require payment to view the relevant content. For example, instead of linking to a commercial bookstore site, use the "ISBN" linking format, giving readers an opportunity to search a wide variety of free and non-free book sources.
4. Sites that are inaccessible to a substantial number of users, such as sites that only work with a specific browser.
5. Direct links to documents that require external applications (such as Flash or Java) to view the relevant content, unless the article is about such rich media. If you do link to such material make a note of what application is required.
6. Links to search engine results pages.
7. Links to social networking sites (such as MySpace), or 'discussion forums.
8. Links to blogs, except those written by a recognized authority.
9. Links to wikis, except those with a substantial history of stability and a substantial number of editors.
10. Sites that are only indirectly related to the article's subject: it should be a simple exercise to show how the link is directly and symmetrically related to the articles subject. This means that there is both a relation from the website to the subject of the article, and a relation from the subject of the article to the website. For example, the officially sanctioned online site of a rock band has a direct and symmetric relationship to that rock band, and thus should be linked to from the rock band's Misplaced Pages article. An alternative site run by fans is not symmetrically related to the rock band, as the rock band has only indirect connections with that site.

Advertising and conflicts of interest

Due to the rising profile of Misplaced Pages and the amount of extra traffic it can bring a site, there is a great temptation to use Misplaced Pages to advertise or promote links. This includes both commercial and non-commercial sites. Use of Misplaced Pages to link to a website that you own, maintain or are acting as an agent for is strongly recommended against, even if the guidelines otherwise imply that it should be linked to.

Violation of Misplaced Pages policies

The Carnatic music article is about to be totally neutralised until consensus has arrived. The following are relevant, with respect to that article or editors of that article.

Thank you for experimenting with Misplaced Pages. Your test of inserting inappropriate images into an article worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

Please stop. If you continue to remove content from pages, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages.

You are in danger of violating the three-revert rule. Please cease further reverts or you may be blocked from editing.

Misplaced Pages guidelines dictate that you assume good faith in dealing with other editors. Please stop being uncivil to your fellow editors, and assume that they are here to improve Misplaced Pages. Thank you.

An important message

This notice has been left for you because another Misplaced Pages user suspects that, perhaps innocently, you may have defamed someone in your contributions. Please recheck your edits. Do not make allegations against someone unless you have provided evidence from a reliable publication, and then make sure you describe the allegations in accordance with our content policies, particularly Misplaced Pages:Verifiability and Misplaced Pages:No original research. Don't rely on hearsay, rumours, or things you believe without evidence to be facts, and don't use sources to create a novel narrative. Misplaced Pages requires reliable sources for all claims. Please see our policy on biographies of living persons. Comments that defame an individual may leave you open to being sued by them. While Section 230 of the United States Communications Decency Act may protect Misplaced Pages from being sued for defamation, it may not protect the person who posted a defamatory claim on a Misplaced Pages page. The Wikimedia Foundation's Board of Trustees has ruled that: "Where the user has been vandalizing articles or persistently behaving in a disruptive way, data may be released to assist in the targeting of IP blocks, or to assist in the formulation of a complaint to relevant Internet Service Providers." (Wikimedia privacy policy in full) If you may have inadvertently defamed someone in an article, do two things: If the material is still there, remove it immediately. Leave a note on the administrator's noticeboard saying that you have accidentally included defamatory claims in a named article or articles. Don't repeat the claims. The claim can then be deleted from the page history.

Ncmvocalist 07:12, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't want to take this further than this second repeat caution, which you didn't pay attention to the first time. But if your disrespect and defamation continues, I will have no choice. Please mind your words, if not as a fellow 'rasika', as a fellow Wikipedian.

Please stop. If you continue to assume bad faith when dealing with other editors, you may be blocked from editing. Assume that they are here to improve rather than harm Misplaced Pages.

Please do not add defamatory content to Misplaced Pages, especially if it involves living persons. Your edits have been reverted. Thank you. Ncmvocalist 15:12, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Final block warning

Per the posting at WP:PAIN I have read all diffs and determined that Venu62 has not been Wikistalking you. I see no evidence that Venu62 acted with the actual malice you describe; this appears to be a genuine misunderstanding between one experienced editor and an inexperienced one (who could become a valuable contributor with the right guidance). I strongly recommend you seek a mentor through Misplaced Pages:Adopt-a-user. Normally I would issue a user block for the quantity of policy violations my investigation uncovered, but you appear to have acted in good faith and genuine efforts to improve the encyclopedia. Misplaced Pages could certainly use more contributors with expertise in Indian music so I hope you'll follow this advice and adjust to the way we do things here. Durova 16:40, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

You have been suitably warned. Ncmvocalist 01:59, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
