Misplaced Pages

Archive of old discussions

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:

Hello, Yamla,

User:King Dracula keeps vandalising actor Surya's page:

tried to talk to him (see here:) but to no avail. He wouldn't answer.

The article got worse when he started to edit it with several double mentions and a clumsy introduction. Also, he keeps adding ::co-stars and directors to the filmography. None of the featured article actor pages have those and there are generally not added.

See for his edits here:

3. the same edit was made by User:Kadavul before you banned him.

Could you talk to him?

Best regards, --Plumcouch 12:20, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, User:King Dracula did revert the message as he did with some of my edits he felt unconfortable with. I'm not sure if User:Yamla will get the message if User:King Dracula will delete it again, as Dracula is obviously monitoring my contributions as Plumcouch, so I'm writing you under another nick. Didn't know what else I could do.

Could you have a word with User:King Dracula, please?

Best regards, --Yellowchair 12:38, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

regarding Hindi Wiki

I'd be delighted to do so,as soon as I can figure out how to type in Hindi properly (my fonts and locales are set up, but my Hindi typing skills are atrocious). Plus, I've been toying with the idea of doing something in the Bangla Misplaced Pages as well (which is in far worse shape). Thanks for putting it in my mind though.

Category:Hindu politicians

Up 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 Hindi

Is 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-Brahmanism

Hi,

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 Vajpayee

Since 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)

Hey Gizza. Just noticed your comments on my ER. Thanks for the support. I am really in no hurry for admin tools. They can be usful at times but I am absolutely fine without them too. There are a lot of people who can help immediately if I do need anything. The place where I really want to help in DYK updating. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 12:09, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

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 Sarvagnya

Hi 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
Vande Mataram
Belgaum. His recent editing are now on the Hindi page itself.
On the Jana Gana Mana page, I have given him all the authoritative and official references, still he keeps on blabbering on the discussion page and kept removing the Hindi version of the anthem. Since his acts are not limited to a single article, so I can not request for conflict resolution or arbitration. I need help. What is the process by which the stupid acts of such users can be checked. Thanks. - Apandey

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 Pages

Namashkar bhai saab. Thanks for your suggestion. I will take time to consider this possibility. Jdas07 20:31, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Devanagari script

Hello, 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)

Done - Aksi_great (talk) 06:33, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, Aksi! →Talk 13:11, 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.

Hi

Hi 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

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...

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)

CfD

Category: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 advice

Babub'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)

blnguyen

Wow, 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 Pages

Sure, I'd definitely like that. Do you have something specific in mind? Metlin 04:42, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Ayurveda

The article was in a terrible state. Some anon had put in a lot of useless and irrelevant information (he confused Ayurveda with Homeopathy, Oy Vey!) and attacked Auyrveda "scientifically" in a most unscientific way. I think I cleared up most of the edits and kept legitimate scientific criticisms. I want the article to have the same standards and precedents as other traditional medicine articles like Acupuncture or Reiki. Could you please take a look, read the sources cited (I read some) and check if they're okay?If you have any knowledge of sources I'd be very grateful if you could contribute. Please do consider looking at it. Thanks.Hkelkar 07:02, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

I thank you for your wishes. I feel sad at those "comments". However, in real life I have seen things even worse than such comments. Such comments are not going to kill true wikipedians! --Bhadani 13:59, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
