| 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 | |||

| ==Massive reversion at ]== | |||
| Hi. You recently did a of the ] 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. -- ] <sup>]</sup> 01:19, 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. | |||

| ==Names of Krishna== | |||
| Hi. I see you put the names section (which I had been maintaining) back into the article.

| 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. | |||

| ==Invitation and Recommendations for writing articles on Hindi Misplaced Pages== | |||
| <blockquote style='border: 1px solid blue; padding: 2em;'> | |||
| '''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 ]. 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 or —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. ] (अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय ध्वनि वर्णाक्षर); ] (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 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 ] (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: <code><nowiki>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.</nowiki></code> Whence, | |||
| #*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 | |||
| #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 ] द्वारा रचित देवी ] 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''' (]) ] (]s) 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. <code><nowiki>The name in bold ('''अपोलो''') </nowiki></code> | |||
| #* 2. <code><nowiki>starting parenthesis, then English name in Roman script, in-page interwiki-linked to English wiki ff. by semicolon ((अंग्रेज़ी : ];) </nowiki></code> | |||
| #* 3. <code><nowiki>The native name(s) if applicable in the italicized native script, preferably followed either by its italicized approximate Hindi pronunciation or non-italicized </nowiki></code>]<code><nowiki> within / /, ff. by closed parenthesis (यूनानी : ''Aπollων अपोल्लोन'')) </nowiki></code> | |||
| #* 4. <code><nowiki>the rest of the definition or introduction (प्राचीन ] (ग्रीक धर्म) और प्राचीन ] के सर्वोच्च देवता थे ।)</nowiki></code> 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 : ]; यूनानी : ''Aπollων अपोल्लोन'') प्राचीन ] (ग्रीक धर्म) और प्राचीन ] 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 ]; 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 (<code><nowiki>])</nowiki></code>). 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 ]. 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 ] (/z/, as in '''z'''oo, ro'''s'''e) is fundamentally wrong. Its nearest counterpart is the ] /s/ (as in '''s'''ea), and not Hindi ज (]). 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 ] (/ʒ/ as in trea'''s'''ure), 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 m'''e'''t, m'''a'''te, m'''a'''t, 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 c'''o'''t, c'''oa'''t, c'''au'''ght, 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 ], preferably ]. | |||

| Hi, you reinserted the <nowiki>{{current}}</nowiki> tag on the ] 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.] . 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. | |||
