Shakti

Thank you for your comments. Sorry if I was a little late in editing, I made some changes to the article too. Do you feel that they are acceptable? I would love to work with you on this article since it is in need. I plan to work on the Mythology section but I do not have a books nor can find appropriate info for the section. Do you have any ideas for the section. Also I pasted an image of Lakshmi on the page, is this appropriate for the article. Once again I am not 100% knowledgeable on this particular subject but I would love to help. Om namo Narayanaya!--Seadog 02:50, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

I was out of station and it is 1.21am now. I will see it tomorrow and certainly contribute to the best of my ability. swadhyayee 19:52, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Good Morning to you swadhyayee, I noticed you did a fix on the Hinduism article. Good Job!__Seadog 01:20, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Good evening to you Arjun. I just logged on, haven't read Shakti as yet. swadhyayee 01:22, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Archival

I just finished archiveing your page...Here is how to do it yourself. 1.Highlight all the text you want to stash away in an archive. 2. right-click your text and then scroll down and click cut. 3. Create an article called ] 4. Save the page, when you save click the red link. 5. Edit the page and paste all the old disscussions on there. 5. Save that page and you are done.

I hope this helps...If you still need help then feel free to contact me (however it will be hard to contact me at the right time since the time differences) or if you want me to do it for you I will. Cheers.__Seadog 05:20, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

The archive for you...if you havent noticed has been set. There is a blue link at the top of the article that says Archive 1 click it and it will take you to your old disscussions. Have a nice day, but for me I am logging of for the night. OM.___Seadog 05:31, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Youtube video link

I had previously removed the link. You have added it again. Please do not add the link to the discussion board. The discussion board is for discussions regarding improving India-related topics, not a forum to discuss India-Pakistan relationship. Thanks for your cooperation. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 02:13, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

3RR violation

Swadhyayee, you have violated the WP:3RR along with WP:TALK#Basic_rules_for_all_talk_pages rule on the Hinduism page. Kindly desist from repeating such behavior. Thanks. Abecedare 02:58, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Mis-wording

Regarding your complaint on WP:ANI. I suggest you not use language like "mischevious non-Hindu editors" as it makes you sound like an exclusivist. Misplaced Pages can be edited by anybody, Hindu or not.However, if you feel that some anons have been editing tendentiously then you should cite diffs of the edits and explain why they are bad. You should go back to the page and elaborate your claims. Please avoid such controversial language and people will listen to you. Thanks. Hkelkar

Your edits to Swadhyay Parivar

Thank you for contributing to Misplaced Pages, Swadhyayee! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Misplaced Pages. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, and try to reinsert the link again. If your link was genuine spam, please note that inserting spam into Misplaced Pages is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 06:00, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

All done!

I am done archiving the talk page...From now on unless I forget I will archive every 35 topics or maybe sooner since the disscussions get rather long. If you need me to do anything else please call.__Seadog 03:54, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Did I archive too much perhaps? Because if I did I will be able to put the discussions that you feel are nececary back into the correct postition, I just need to know.__Seadog 04:01, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I think I have a little idea...The english wikipedia today was screwing around with me today (couldn't load certain pages) and was rather slow. It is probably just a little technical problem...I doubt it is nothing to worry about.__Seadog 04:02, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

More

I added some more...I hope I got all that you thought was necessary. Cheers!__Seadog 04:11, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Glad you asked...It has been planed that I try to earn the administratorship tools by late February or possibly later. It is a long time but the longer I wait the better chance of earning the responsibilities. I have had a lot of doubts but I am very optimistic that I will earn such abilities.__Seadog 04:18, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your very kind and sincere words...I have tried my best to been calm.__Seadog 04:25, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Ekk! That did come out very strange...I am very, very tired and I made a mistake. And no I do not have to try to be calm. Cheers.__Seadog 04:32, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Advocating closed

Hi Swadhyayee . We haven't spoken in a long time. It appears to me that you are managing your Misplaced Pages experience? I have closed the advocacy case. It would be beneficial for the AMA if you went to Misplaced Pages:AMA Requests for Assistance/Requests/November 2006/Swadhyayee and filled in the followup.

Sanskrit Mantra

Namaskarji. There were a few consonants which I wasn't sure which to choose (dh or dhh, etc.), but I read it the same way that I read the English. My Hindi is very poor in writing, especially in English. I think I wrote "kasa hau", because I meant to say "aap kase hau", but just blended it with "ye kase hain" and the result was that gibberish! ॐ नमःशिवाय _{Śaiva Sujīt} सुजीत ॐ 21:19, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

"Minor" Edits

Swadhyayee, I noticed that all your edits are marked "minor". My guess is that this is not by your design, but rather because of the default settings you are using. If that is the case, you can change the default behaviour as follows: Click on "my preferences" (top right corner of the page) -> Editing -> Uncheck 'Mark all edits minor by default'.

I hope this information is helpful! Abecedare 02:52, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Swadhyayee,

Perhaps my earlier explanation was not clear. What I am referring to is as follows: If you take a look at your contribution list, you'll notice that all your edits have a m marking following the '(diff)' column. That indicates that you consider those edits to be minor or superficial, for instance correction of typographical errors, spelling mistakes etc. On the other hand, you'll see here, that other users mark only edits where no new content was added with an m. You can read more about what edits are considered minor at Minor_edits.

I assume that it is not your intention to mark all your edits minor (which can be considered misleading), and therefore left the message above. Your edit summaries (I assume that is what you are referring to by 'naming my edit summaries') do look fine to me.

Again, this message is meant to be helpful, and not as a complaint. Abecedare 04:25, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, Swadhyayee, it is not supposed to say m for all the edits. But it is not due to any technical fault, but rather because of your default settings. Here again are the instructions for you to correct your settings:
Click on "my preferences" (top right corner of the page, next to "my watchlist") -> Click on "Editing" -> Uncheck "Mark all edits minor by default", i.e., the box next to this entry should not have a tick-mark.
Let me know if that does not work. Abecedare 05:48, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

That is weird !

I tried turning on the "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary", and test editing without entering a summary, and works properly for me (i.e., it does not enter an m irrespective of whether I provide an edit summary or not). So my only guess is that perhaps there is problem with the java software on your computer. Barring that, your only option may be to manually uncheck "This is a minor edit" each time you edit.

As you say, this is a only a minor issue; the misbehaviour of your watchlist must be a bigger pain. So it may be worthwhile for you to try to update your java software (although I'm not ceratin if that will help. Anyway, the link for that is . Abecedare 06:18, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

No misunserstanding

I saw Tom had answered you and I just didn't need the link on my talk page. Thanks for the heads up though.    Tbeatty 21:56, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Why have you removed Awards & Recognitions from

Why have you removed Awards & Recognitions from Pandurang Shastri athavale's page?Although they were the authentic data!!

Weird

Have you noticed that all your edits are marked as minor? You can tell when viewing the watchlist when you see the little m on the side. Are you purposely doing so or is it a computer glitch.__Seadog 03:52, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

A reminder that you were warned not to do this on 20:23, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Please remember to mark your edits as minor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see Misplaced Pages:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'. Thanks! --ArmadilloFromHellGateBridge 04:10, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

My edits are with summary. I am not marking "m", if it's for tech. fault, I can't help. I don't think there is any need to be fussy when edit summary is there. swadhyayee 12:36, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

You will have "Mark all edits as minor" turned on in your preferences. It's probably a good idea to turn it off. --Deskana talk 14:25, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Hindu

Hi Swadhyayeee, Hi, Balaji, I was wondering whether you or other editors can replace the image (i.e., Khajuraho at http://en.wikipedia.org/Hindu#Religion_for_the_common_Hindu with a non-sexual image? It gives the wrong impression about the article, religion for the common Hindu.

Thanks, Raj2004 14:43, 3 December 2006 (UTC) No problem, swadhyayee.

Raj2004 16:46, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Swadhyayee

I apologize for the rude statement I made in my edit summary. Please understand that it was directed at myself, in a moment of frustration. Looking back, even my attempt to take back what I had posted before is also very wrong.

I tried to create the impression that there was some kind of conspiracy, when in fact the users and admins here are just people doing the best they can to build an encyclopedia that's simply never been done before. Everyone makes mistakes - what's important is that we learn from them and try again.

It wasn't right of me to try to make my own conclusions. In fact, it was very bad faith on my part. Please read carefully what I posted, and NEVER even come close to doing the same thing yourself - to anyone or anything here.

I need to make apologies to all the editors and admins that I tried to implicate. I'm afraid I don't know as much as I claimed, I only had the feeling that something was wrong. I made a terrible mistake in a moment of weakness, and I'm more sorry than you can imagine.

I'm very sorry to admit that I don't know much about Hinduism, or India. In trying to learn, I'm afraid I've read many wrong things. If I caused you any pain or offense, again, I'm more sorry than you can imagine. Please accept my humble apology.

If there is anything I can do to help you with your editing here on Misplaced Pages, please don't hesitate to let me know. In turn, if there is anything you would like to inform me about your faith or anything else, I will be happy to hear it and understand more.

It is my dearest hope that one day soon you and I can work together. In fact, my very dearest hope is that the admins and users I've tried to tarnish can eventually come to forgive and we can work together as well.

Sincerely, NinaEliza 17:34, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Hinduism

See my reply for your comment on Hinduism talk page. Cygnus_hansa 02:46, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I have replied. Cygnus_hansa 04:54, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello swadhyayee

Hello, noticed you are around...there is a discussion on the Hinduism template page regarding a possible image change as requested by another user. Your comments would be highly appreciated. — Seadog 03:49, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Hkelkar

I noticed your post to the arbitration case. The case is now closed and the arbitration committee has banned Terry, Hkelkar and Bhaisaab for 1 year. - Aksi_great (talk) 10:34, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

You understood it right. Anyone can propose any remedy on the workshop page. But arbitrators are not bound bu those proposals. Arbitrators have a separate page where they work. This page can be seen here. The proposed decision page can only be edited by arbitrators. All the voting is now over and the case is closed. The move to ban Bakaman has been rejected by the arbitrators. - Aksi_great (talk) 10:49, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Reply to Magicalsaumy

Archive is done

The archive is completed, as for everything else I will have to look over it later since I have to go. I will reply to everything else later today when I get a chance. Cheers. Sorry I was offline when I got your messages. — Seadog 15:09, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Done, Fixed the archive. — Seadog 17:22, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Your questions/comments

Namaste Swadhyayee, Sorry I couldn't reply to all your questions I was offline when most of your questions were asked. The reason why it says This advocate is busy is because 1. I am now a member of the AMA which I noticed you filed a case there and I hope everything is okay 2. I am rather busy this week but by the end of the week it will most likely say available. Also I am enlightened to hear that you like my new page, I have had it for about half a week and it has been received warmly by you and others. I changed it because it is a more simple layout and easy for others to read and has some beautiful pictures. I did in fact link the please call me by my name to Arjun, I made the link as you have suggested stand out. Do you like the color Orange red for the link or do you think that there is a better color that could be used? The "I'm bold as love: Just ask the Axis" quote does in fact overlap on some browsers, I am going to change to a smaller quote (3 to 5 words) once I have some better ideas, do you have any idea? I fixed the archiving correctly and thank you for bringing it to my attention. Also as for HeBhagawan...I have no clue where he is! He has not been online since December 1, maybe he is taking a wiki-break...hopefully he has not completely left. Also you can now know for sure if I am online or not by viewing my status changer, If it says out then I am online and if it says in than I am online and able to answer any questions or comments. It can also be seen on the right hand side of my user and talk pages. Oh and yes I will always reply on your page since you have grown accustomed to it and it is more convenient for you. Cheers and If you have any questions feel free to contact me. — Seadog 20:33, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

the banning proposal

the case is already closed, and arbcom found no reason to even consider banning me. Thanks for the support though.Bakaman 23:04, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Just curious, where did you hear about it?Bakaman 01:30, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

No more userpage for me!

Hi swadhyayee, I found the joke very funny :), I now have redirected my userpage to my talk page since I am tired of messing with it. I still have a couple userboxes left though. Cheers! — Seadog 01:21, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Namaste...and good morning to you Swadhayee. I do now have a userpage (new) since others like them and since it is very crucial to have one. This one is better since it is more original and not just copying. Thank you for your comments on the Hinduism talk page. — Seadog 04:35, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Brahmin block

I have no idea who you are talking about. Can you tell me the username of the person you are referring to? I am not at all knowledgeable about Hindu philosophy, so I cannot comment on the matter. - Aksi_great (talk) 13:39, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok. I think I know who you are talking about. It was a sockpuppet account of User:Pkulkarni. Yes, that user has been blocked indefinitely from editing wikipedia. If you see any user or ip that you think is Pkulkarni, then please leave a message on my talk page. I will deal with it. - Aksi_great (talk) 13:46, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
