Quick Indian links
Hi Sfacets, here are some links for Indian (or Indian lovers!) Wikipedians which may be useful.
I'm suspicious that the user Mothergodchurch may intend to continue adding unverified info to the Kellie Everts page. It looks like this user is either Kellie herself, or someone acting on her behalf with the intention of promoting her. Obviously, I'm in favor of a fact-based article, without claims of miracles and other unsubstantiated views. Do you know the appropriate way to deal with this if it continues? fbb_fan04:01, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
I Have Edited my above post because I made some False Accusations That are hurtful and not though out and I Apologize. Your Course of Action was appropriate but I only wanted to point out another option that I preferred.--E-Bod01:51, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Historical Jesus
Please don't jump to conclusions. I was answering your comments regarding Historical Jesus as you contacted me at my talk page. I didn't find an edit summary comment neccesary for my reversion at the Common Era article because you altered information without discussion or any reason. Please refer to my comments at Talk:Common Era, and no my actions do not merit a block. — CRAZY`(IN)`SANE13:16, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
A watered-down version of the proposed policy against censorship is now open for voting. Will you kindly review the policy and make your opinions known? Thank you very much.Loom9118:20, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Please do not move Neem Karoli Baba. Like many spiritual teachers, he did not use his birth name. There are several books about him and he is mentioned in many other and they ALL refer to him as Neem Karoli Baba. He ashrams use that name as well, both in the US and India. Also, you should know better than to move articles by cut and paste. It loses the edit history which is required to maintain the requirements of the GFDL license under which the contributors have donated their work. —Hanuman Das13:18, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Ganshyam Pande
Hi there, Sfacets. You can't just move an article to a new title. An action like that must be voted on on the discussion page, regardless of how wrong you think that current article title is. I'll be reverting your changes. Regards, — goetheanॐ22:09, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Ananta Das Babaji
You've just moved an article under a new name with copy-paste and redirect... That aside, you've labeled it as "actual name" whereas "Ananta Das Babaji" is the actual name, and the rest are titles. Reverting. I appreciate the intention, but please be a bit mindful on how you edit. ---Raga23:39, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
hi
Maybe so but since the content is part of the explanation for the word sannyassin, known in the west as followers of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, the word has gotten another meaning but the hindustani. So instead of removing I suggest you add explanation and alternative links to this, especially since other wikipedia pages have gracefully accepted the links to the pages you refer to as 'my own', as a well expressed part of an explanation for a term. I suggest to re-place the previous content and leave one link to a sannyassin story on 'my web'. And please put your explanation as the classic hindu sadhu- sannyasa in
there too. ShanT

You had saved your article, so presumably you were ready for it to be edited. It gave no context or country. jimfbleak06:34, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
The lowercase "west" threw me - I assumed it was the west of somewhere, rather than the West. Many articles are marked as stubs and never returned to, but I accept that I may have been over hasty - I'll take another look. jimfbleak
It's difficult to see how this stub can be expanded without repeating chunks of the Rajneesh article, so I've done a merge and redirect. If there is enough material, it can always be split off again at a later date. jimfbleak07:39, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi thank you for joining the WikiProject. There is still
plenty of scope for influencing things and making your contribution count. We

Maharishi page
The site you are using as your source for the mantras is.... well.... nothing. It doesn't say what it is. It needs to be a reputable source or we need to take the material out. I am a critic of the TM program for sure, check out the transcendental meditation page... and I have yet to find a decent source for the mantras.
Even if we could find such a source, I don't see what listing them in the article does? Maybe in the TM article (and if you look there I have already inserted, with sources, that they are Bija mantras), but why stick it in the Maharishi article?
SFacets, get your facts together before throwing accussations around. No vandalism has been taking place on the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi article. Moreover, since you appear to be off-line quite a bit, feel free to check the current state of affairs, before shooting yourself in the foot:
Hi. You recently did a massive reversion of the Tourism article, described as a revert of vandalism, which as far as I can tell took the article back several months to an inferior version, with lots of errors and a NPOV dispute, losing a considerable amount of text and a large number of edits in the process. Can I check this wasn't a simple error? Could you point out the vandalism, and which version you reverted to so we can build the article back up again. Would you consider undoing your revert and simply correcting any vandalism you perceive. Thanks. -- zzuuzz01:19, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, Sorry about that, what happened is that a user added a bit on nonsense to the article, and while I was working on reverting it, another user reverted it, meaning that I reverted to a version prior to the previous revert. I reverted back - everything should be in order now.
Sfacets01:37, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I see you put the names section (which I had been maintaining) back into the article. It suffers from the regular insertion of names / titles that a few users know but which are not in common use. Hence it now includes some names that are little known; perhaps you would be able to judge which these are and tidy up the section. Thanks, Imc.
Article : Pramukh Swami Maharaj. Citations.
Hi,
I have provided the required citations regarding the largest hindu temple outside India.
The temple created by Pramukh Swami Maharaj holds the Guiness world record. I have provided an image for the same from the website of the temple.
I dont know if the image is copyrighted or not. Can you please help ?
In addition to above, I have also provided the link for list of achievements and the list of activities performed under swamiji's guidance. Should I directly include the list in the Misplaced Pages or just maintain the links ??
) Just wanted to say hello and howdy. Looks like we have many similar interests, including keeping the TM pages as neutral and non-advertisement like as possible!
Our paths my cross in the offline world... not only is India on my to travel to list (already have once), but so is.... Melbourne! One of my spiritual mentors lives in your neck of the wood, Bob Adamson!
I think the next step is a RFC. Just make sure you keep a cool head and continue to try and resolve the issues. Have you ever done one, and/or do you have any interest in doing one? Sethie03:49, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Howdy - yes I agree, (no, have never done one) however we should wait untill he further edits the articles. First of all though, he should be reported for using two (or more?) usernames to make edits to articles. What do you think? Sockpuppets usually get banned indefinitely from wikipedia.
Just to be clear - my aim is not to absolutely censor the guy, but make sure the articles in question aren't used as PR or promotion of TM. What makes it difficult is his edits, many of which are clear acts of vandalism.
Let's give it a few hours, and then call in the cavalry (RFC) ;)
The cavalry. Yeah, WE might be the cavalry. RFC's are quite a bif of work....
I am on the same page as you, I actually like the direction the articles are headed, just not dealing with the sockpuppetry and a few other shenanagans. My goal would not be total censure either.
I am being vandalized by one or two people on Sahaj Marg where you left me a "heads up" on Ban of Gay and lesbians"
I don't see them in the History but my pages are changed...One Ip address has a lot of warnings on his talk page.... How can I tell who is doing it? There is no history. the numbers are 87.48.115.147 which I think is not doing it but there is this one who has a lot of warnings on his site...203.199.211.18 he seem to be using a bot...Can you advise me how to deal with Vanalism??
PS I have tried to keep your edit on Gays and Lesbians on Sahaj Marg site but It got watered down as the editor claims that there are now preceptors and abhyasis in the Mission...I am trying to keep the "tone" of the speech intact...Let me know if that is clear to you and accurate to what you see....If you have any other info, please go and add to the data base on-line...
thanks for the info...will you post it in my talk page or will I pick it up here....I check out the Sahaj Marg page regularly so you can communicate there...if that is OK...
Thanks
Don...

J'sus intéressé par votre avis sur certaines de mes entrées sur la liste de groupes désignés sous le nom des sectes. Spécifiquement comment les entrées enrichissent ou dégradent la liste. Je pense que montrer toutes sortes des sectes est absolument nécessaires selon les règles courantes mais je trouve la discussion impossible sur la page de conversation. S'il vous plait, excusez mon français pauvre. J'sus seulement un anglophone. Peut-être vous pouviez les entrées suivantes. Merci pour la consideration. cairoi01:15, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Je suis tout a fait d'accord sur l'idée d'inclure toutes les organisations qui adherent aux principes décrits selon les critères établies sur l'article. (Actually I do speak english, it's my mother tongue ;) )
I plan on paying closer attention to this article, and look forward to joining in the discussion on why it is essential for a balanced and non-Pov article to include a varied list of 'any' organisation that has been described as a sect. (I was actually just about to add AA myself, when I noticed you had just added it to the list).
Sfacets04:12, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Formidable! I'm really just an anglophone but the school system here promotes French too. I try to take any opportunity to practice as 6 years in Oz has left me pretty rusty I only spoke french with a couple Tahitians and and Irishwoman the whole time I was down there. Anyhoo, I'm looking forward to seeing your edits and development of opinion on the list. It's a tough crowd; brace yourself. And thank you for the feedback. cairoi16:19, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Please use the talk page of an article to improve the article
It isn't pushing a POV, merely gathering opinions on what should be done in the article before reaching concensus and acting upon it.
Some religions have a portal, such as portal:Hinduism, other do not, which is why I left a request on the ISKON page for peer review, as they too are concerned by the undergoings in the Guru article.
I don't believe that my description is a misrepresentation, as I based it on the talk and described what was going on.
It is important to get peer review, so that people like yourself (who have openly admitted they wish to push their POV) do not succeed in doing so.
Sfacets21:15, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Please use the appropriate channels to get a peer review. Making announcement on the talk pages of remotely related articles to recruit people who have the same POV as you is not the right way to do it. Andries21:20, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
How is it recruiting? I was posting the situation in talk pages frequented by people who are knowledgable in the subject. (awaiting your answer after your 24 hour block for violation of the 3RR Rule).

Invitation and Recommendations for writing articles on Hindi Misplaced Pages
Hindi wikipedia invites and welcomes Wikipedians to contribute for the cause of spreading knowledge and the Hindi language. This page contains guidelines for writing a wiki-article on any topic at the Hindi Misplaced Pages, with special recommendations for writing in Hindi (Note: The script/font-family for Hindi is Devanāgari; the script/font-system for English is Roman script, also, the Hindi spelling system is not completely standardized). This article is yet in English language (mostly), in order to encourage even non-native/foreign people who have learnt/are learning Hindi to contribute to the Hindi wikipedia, and native Hindi speakers who normally write in English. The examples given below are only for explanation.
Recommendations:
Firstly for proper viewing, it is recommended to keep all links NOT-UNDERLINED. Otherwise the मात्रा below the Hindi alphabets might get partly hidden behind the underlines. For this, please go to My Preferences (मेरी पसंद) at the top of the page, then click Misc., and then choose "underline links -> Never". Save your settings. Also, do not click yes for "justify paragraphs", otherwise on some browsers, the devanagari script will appear highly distorted.
All users are requested and encouraged to contribute articles here, especially, to create new articles on general topics. They are also encouraged to expand the existing articles, and improve upon them. A non-user can also do the same; it is recommended but not required to register yourself as a wikipedian user at the Hindi wikipedia. As far as possible, each article should be written with a Neutral Point of View (NPOV)—no nationalistic or partiality or hatred based articles are welcome. The articles should be based on facts—and appropriate references should be provided as and where needed. See the English wiki's help page for editing in general. Almost all the general wiki-features are available for editing on Hindi wiki too. Guidelines for the content matter is mostly the same as given in English wiki.
Since the Hindi wiki is at its initial stages, users are welcome to take introduction and basic points from the English (or another) wikipedia's corresponding article and translate them for small articles. An in-page link to the English wiki's article will be deemed sufficient for references (a template might be created stating this). For longer articles, it is recommended to mention the references separately.
Since most computer users in India and elsewhere have the standard Western-type keyboard, it is best recommended (but not necessarily required) to use the virtual (software) keyboard like the one of Hindimozhi or of ISIS (Tavultesoft Keyman)—which are freewares. These are advantageous because the contemporary Hindi-speakers in India often write messages/chat using Hindi words but written in Roman (English) script, and the layout of these keyboards is quite the same that such people use. For example, using the "normal" keyboard with this software, typing ga would give ग and ghaa would give घा.
Create the article with its name written in Hindi (devanagari script). Always take care to include the nukta (dot below) for foreign / Urdu loanwords wherever it occurs in the standard spelling. For non-Indian names, use that spelling (for article name and other words) which is commonly encountered in Hindi newspapers, G.K.-books, Hindi-dubbed TV documentaries and Hollywood films and magazines. e.g., America-अमरीका (या अमेरिका), China-चीन, French-फ़्रांसिसी. For English acronyms/short-forms, use the initials in Roman script, and again create a full form in Hindi and redirect it to the short form. e.g. IPA (अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय ध्वनि वर्णाक्षर); UNO (संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघ). Doing the opposite is also fine. But creating the article with the Hindi short form, as सं०रा०सं०, is not recommended. Also, the article proper must be written with the proper nukta, as फ़ारसी, and then, a non-nukta (mis-)spelt version फारसी should preferably be created to redirect to the correct spelling.
Hindi wikipedia strongly recommends the users to write articles in everyday common Hindi in the खड़ीबोली dialect (Hindustani or Hindi-Urdu, i.e., बोलचाल वाली हिन्दी, which may include many loanwords from Persian and Arabic). The use of शुद्ध संस्कृतनिष्ठ हिन्दी is in general neither required nor recommended. E.g., use: वजह instead of कारण, ख़ास instead of विशेष, वगैरह instead of इत्यादि, लेकिन instead of परन्तु etc. However, for technical and specialized vocabulary, the use of शुद्ध संस्कृतनिष्ठ हिन्दी is recommended and usually mandatory. Thus: upper House of Parliament—संसद का उच्च सदन, but not Urdu—मजिलिस का ऐवान-ए-बाला ; Foreign Minister—विदेशमन्त्री, but not Urdu—वज़ीर-ए-ख़ारिजा ; knowledge/science—ज्ञान/विज्ञान, but not इल्म. Use spoken Hindi's ये and वो instead of यह and वह / वे. Do not use the title of respect जी after names, it is unencyclopedic. Thus: कृष्ण / श्री कृष्ण but not कृष्ण जी. Use the आप form and its corresponding 3rd person verbal conjugation for writing about respectable persons. Thus: श्री वाजपेयी मध्य प्रदेश में जन्मे थे. But not: वाजपेयी मध्य प्रदेश में जन्मा था. But do not use the pronoun "आप" itself in-text in biographies.
English should be used sparingly, only when required; i.e., if the corresponding शुद्ध हिन्दी word is too "difficult and not generally encountered", or if it is a proper name of non-Indian person/place/terminology/title, or if the user is highly unsure of the proper translation. It is recommended (but not required) for English-to-Hindi translation while writing articles, the Shabdkosh online dictionary should be used. For each English word, that alternative should be used which is generally encountered in everyday spoken Hindi, and also fits well into the context. Use of intelligent guesses for newly encountered words is also allowed, and so are translations encountered in Hindi-dubbed TV documentaries, Hollywood films, Hindi-translated books, etc. e.g., दमपिशाच for en:Dementor (used in dubbed HP films).
If used, it is recommended to use the English words within the articles using the English (Roman) alphabets rather than devanagari (or better, the devanagari transliteration should be used in the sentence, followed by the English word in Roman alphabet in parentheses). Such words should be italicized and not put in quotation marks. Preferably, there should be an in-page interwiki link (like :en:) on the word to the English wikipedia. If the word comes as an integral part of a sentence, so as not to break the continuity, the en: prefix should be hidden by writing the word again after the pipe sign (piped link). Thus, recommended: हैरी पॉटर ने '']'' के अन्दर '']'' गाँव में लॉर्ड वोल्डेमॉर्ट की माँ '']'' को देखा. '']'' पक्षी के ऊपर एक मेक्सिकन पादरी डा० '']'' ने काफ़ी शोध किया था. Whence,
Always start the first 1 or 2 lines of the article giving its definition (from any standard dictionary/other wiki) or suitable introduction. Thus, recommended: ललिता सहस्रनामन हिन्दू धर्मसुधारक आदि शंकराचार्य द्वारा रचित देवी दुर्गा को समर्पित एक पूजा-मन्त्र है, जिसे कई हिन्दू रोज़ श्रद्धा से जपते हैं । But not: ललिता सहस्रनामन मन्त्र जपने के लिये लड्डू-पेड़ा, ताम्बुल, सिन्दूर, लाल चुनरी के साथ नित्य इस मन्त्र का पाठ करें, तो जल्द ही गड़ा हुआ ख़जाना मिलेगा । Recommended: वैमानिक अभियान्त्रिकी (en:Aeronautical engineering) विमानों (en:Aircrafts) की अभिकल्पना, निर्माण और प्रचालन करने का विज्ञान, कला और कार्य है । (translated from Eng. Webster's New World Dictionary). But not: आजकल वैमानिक अभियान्त्रिकी के लिये देशभर में कई कॉलेज खुल गये हैं, जिनमें अग्रणी स्थान यूटोपिया स्थित लालू-यादव टेक्लिनक कॉलेज का है ।
For names of countries, cities, places, languages, people, books, films, technical vocabulary, mythology, etc, start the article like this:
1. The name in bold ('''अपोलो''')
2. starting parenthesis, then English name in Roman script, in-page interwiki-linked to English wiki ff. by semicolon ((अंग्रेज़ी : ];)
3. The native name(s) if applicable in the italicized native script, preferably followed either by its italicized approximate Hindi pronunciation or non-italicized phonological transcription within / /, ff. by closed parenthesis (यूनानी : ''Aπollων अपोल्लोन''))
4. the rest of the definition or introduction (प्राचीन ] (ग्रीक धर्म) और प्राचीन ] के सर्वोच्च देवता थे ।) For country names, only the standard short form of the name is needed in the first line. If there is a common name for a difficult word in Hindustani, also mention it. Whence: अपोलो (अंग्रेज़ी : en:Apollo; यूनानी : Aπollων अपोल्लोन) प्राचीन यूनानी धर्म (ग्रीक धर्म) और प्राचीन रोमन धर्म के सर्वोच्च देवता थे । If you don't give the interwiki English/another language link (which would be deemed to be the default reference), then you MUST provide an appropriate reference.
Please leave no article without an appropriate category. See the list of created categories here; you can also make a new category (pref. in Hindi). Please leave no article without at least ONE off page (like en:) interwiki link. E.g., the user can check the article name (say Apollo) on the finally redirected English page and append to the Hindi article (])). These interlanguage links will help a bot to update all interwiki links for that article in all wikipedias. The category and the aforementioned link should be typed at the end of the article. If the article is very small, mention it as a stub/substub.
Use of templates is welcome. See the list of templates here. If creating a template, name it pref. in Hindi.
Use पूर्णविराम ( । ) instead of a period (.) for ending statements. The पूर्णविराम, semicolon, colon and dash (but not comma) must come after one space after the word to prevent ambiguity. Use the international form of the Hindu-Arabic numerals (1,2,3 instead of १,२,३), as used by the Constitution and the Government of India (even for Hindi). There is no need to use the हलन्त at the end of Sanskrit words wherever it occurs. Hence, prefer: संसद over संसद्; अथर्वन over अथर्वन्. Use the proper quotation marks “” from the Insert toolbox, not "". Write dates as 2 मई 2006 (ईसवी or ईसापूर्व). Write time as 3:45 pm. Separate common suffix-words like शास्त्र, विज्ञान, ज्ञान with a hyphen. Thus: रसायन-शास्त्र. For most others, leave both the words of the noun-cluster free. Combine them into one word only if it is very common to do so. Thus: सामवेद.
The use of ज़ for the en:voiced alveolar fricative (/z/, as in zoo, rose) is fundamentally wrong. Its nearest counterpart is the en:voiceless alveolar fricative /s/ (as in sea), and not Hindi ज (en:voiced palatal plosive). Hence, it is suggested and recommended that for the sound /z/, whether it comes in English (etc.) spellings (z) for while pronunciation otherwise, should be transcribed as स़ (स with a dot below, available in the Insert toolbox). Hence: Reason रीस़न, not रीज़न ; Roses रोस़ेस़, not रोज़ेज़. But common Hindi words borrowed from Persian/Arabic (so-called Urdu words) are allowed to continue with ज़ spelling. Thus: ज़रा, नज़र, तर्ज़. The en:voiced postalveolar fricative (/ʒ/ as in treasure), inexistent in Hindi, can similarly be transcribed with श़. Thus: treasure ट्रॅश़र. The nukta (dot) available in the Insert toolbox can be combined with various consonants to suggest a more exact phonetic devanagari rendering of foreign sounds. E.g., since phonetically, English Think and this are not equal to थिंक and दिस, a better transcription could be थ़िंक and द़िस. Please take care of the dot below in so-called Urdu words, otherwise the Hindi spelling is deemed incorrect.
For the following English vowels met, mate, mat, transcribe as मॅट (short vowel), मेट (not मेइट), मैट (not मॅट, as popular in Marathi). However in contemporary Hindi and here, it is acceptable to use ए instead of ऍ. Thus: अमेरिका is more popular than अमॅरिका. For cot, coat, caught, transcribe as कॉट, कोट, कॉट (not कौट). Transcribe English /t/ and /d/ as ट and ड.
Use half-न before त, थ, द, ध, न, instead of anuswaar अं. Use half-म before प, फ, ब, भ, म. Use the anuswaar before all the rest of the consonants (not half-ङ, ञ, ण). If the मात्रा is not above the alphabet, use chandra-bindu, but only for nasalization. Thus: अन्दर, not अंदर ; अन्त, not अंत ; हिन्दी, not हिंदी ; सम्भव, not संभव ; पंचमी, not पञ्चमी ; अंडा, not अण्डा ; कंठ, not कण्ठ ; लैंड, not लैण्ड ; आँख, not आंख. However, both forms are acceptable in contemporary Hindi as well as here; the prec. are just recommendations.
When proceded by another vowel, use the pure vowels instead of य (unless the य is clearly articulated while pronouncing). Thus : जाएँ, not जायें (not जावें) ; आएगा, not आयेगा . However, both forms are acceptable in contemporary Hindi as well as here.
Please pay careful attention to the masculine/feminine gender (and singular/plural) in adjectives and verbs, else the sentence becomes ungrammatical.
For more information/suggestions/criticisms, please contact any one of the administrators of Hindi wiki here, preferably en:User:Magicalsaumy.
Hi, you reinserted the {{current}} tag on the Amir Massoud Tofangsazan article.
I am finding trying to maintain the current backlog a bit of a nightmare, to say the least. The original policy for use of the current tag is discussed here.Template_talk:Current#Policy_for_using_.7B.7Bcurrent.7D.7D . I would appreciate any comments you have on the general use of this tag there.
The original idea was to tag articles which were rapidly changing, however its clearly not being used for that any more.
In this case do you think it is valid to maintain the tag as long as the blog is up? This could well be years.
GameKeeper16:07, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I see what you mean - The tag as described in the discusson on template policy would suggest that it is overkill to use it for this article when compared to articles with a higher edit rate. In this case mainly what is changing daily is the blog stats...
Feel free to remove the tag (Or I will tommorow) - it's a shame there isn't a similar tag(?) for this kind of situation {{current}} seems like a good system, if only the backlog could be maintained. I will comment in more depth tommorow...
