Ah, thanks Haf's! Even better than the coach. You're not my shrink, you're my elevator! Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 04:44, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Unity of Hinduism

Hinduism is unified under Brahmanical ritual and cosmology (Mahabharata). All the different Vedantins and "tantrics" such as Adi Shankara, Ramanuja, Abhinavagupta would have went to the same Hindu temples and believed the Mahabharata. There are no separate temples for Advaitins, Vishishtadvaitas and Kashmir Saivites. VictoriaGrayson 14:16, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Nice coincidence. I was just thinking what "unites" Hinduism, c.q. what topic may serve as an "introduction" to the secnd part of the article. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 14:40, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
All Hindus go the same Hindu temples. Adi Shankara would have went on pilgrimage to the same Hindu temples as Ramanuja and Abhinavagupta. Exception are the cults like Hare Krishna, Swaminarayan etc.VictoriaGrayson 15:50, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Wusun

Thanks for appreciating my additions to Indo-European migrations. Given your interest and knowledge in Indo-European migrations, particularly Indo-Aryan migrations, i recommend you take look at the article Wusun. The article has been troubled by the addition of WP:Fringe theories by User:Tirgil34, a notorious turanist puppeteer, and related accounts and IPs. Best regards. Krakkos (talk) 13:59, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Ah, thanks. I've seen his name before. I'll take a look (later). Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 14:13, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

A nice overview article

Ahh, Sevilla

Hi Joshua, here is a nice insighful article to read, which touches upon all the issues we have been battling with here: Hinduism, Hindu-Muslim relations, Hindutva, and the history of all these things: Sharma, Arvind (2002). "On Hindu, Hindustan, Hinduism and Hindutva". Numen. 49 (1): 1–36. JSTOR 3270470.. Cheers, Kautilya3 (talk) 22:20, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Oh, and it has a nice passage on the Arab invasion of Sindh, the meaning of which is lost on our friend Ghatus. Kautilya3 (talk) 22:21, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
Thanks! I've downloaed it, and will read it (printed, not at the e-reader, with a pen at hand to write down comments). Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 06:47, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Hrr

The Desert Ultra - Competitors ==Wikipedians

That's a long header to me, but now look at these contributions at sadhu. https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Sadhu&diff=647513917&oldid=647498591. Reverted them. Did I missed anything? Hafspajen (talk) 06:59, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Yes, an English grammar lesson: "Did I missed anything?" ;) I'll have a look. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 11:51, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
No, just like it was before. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 11:53, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
Huh, just getting on the article and removing all images - slowly but surely. In the end is nothing left. And nobody reacts. Hafspajen (talk) 15:25, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Why the hastiness?

Why the hastiness to revert? WP:FURTHER is not a dumping area. 21 books? Same authors repeated? And you prefer to keep it that way instead of a valid trimming? mm --AmritasyaPutra 06:18, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Moved to Talk:Hindutva#Original research. Please discuss there. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 06:42, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Namaste

See Hindutva

I would prefer you do not move my comment to an active article talk page section in middle arbitrarily (without even as much as a response). I would not do it this way. You may just let me know if you want me to nuke my comment and I will oblige. I worked on the article and made several edits, there are several references, of course it can be improved like million other articles but a drive by tag saying entire article needs to go is not very helpful to other editors who are actually tidying it up. A smaller list is usually preferable and easier to maintain in Further Reading section, it should not be used as a storehouse. --AmritasyaPutra 06:30, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

AP: "drive-by tagging" is not an appropriate qualification; nor do those tags say that the entire article has to go. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 06:45, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
Kautilya3, who tagged it gave that justification. After cleanup and requesting specific inputs he said entire article is OR and entire article has to be rewriteen. --AmritasyaPutra 07:02, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
So, why do you remove the tag then? Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 07:31, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
You see 42 references in that article? And then say "entire article is OR", "entire article has to be rewritten, don't try to fix anything". If the only way one can think of is to stick around tags and say "Editors, I am giving a long list of books in Further Reading section, read and rewrite the entire article"... now that isn't so helpful. I had already put the tags back. Any specific constructive suggestion is always welcome. I hope you do understand that I already did purge a lot to cleanup and specific inputs are the way to go forward. --AmritasyaPutra 08:40, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
Last lead was copied(violated copyrights), from I was about to tell before but just remembered it. You know that wikipedia takes copyright violation seriously. Bladesmulti (talk) 13:55, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
I think you misunderstand what copyright-violation means. No reason to revert wholesale. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 13:57, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
@AmritasyaPutra: Please don't talk about me behind my back. Everybody can see what I wrote. I said "the entire article has to be rewritten". I din't say "don't try to fix anything." Kautilya3 (talk) 19:02, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for owning the nonsense. You said the second part also. Cheers! --AmritasyaPutra 02:07, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
@AmritasyaPutra: Ah, I guess I used an American expression. "No bandaid" means "give me a real cure, not a bandage." It doesn't mean not to put on the bandage. Kautilya3 (talk) 07:14, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
