{{helpme}} Can I change my User name after maintaining it's history as it is. Also, asking helps persistantly is it considered abusing? BalanceRestored 10:29, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi there, you can read about changing your username at: WP:RENAME, As long as all the questions are relevant then it is perfectly acceptable to ask away! Andy 10:34, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Were you to be unblocked, yes. Remember what we told you about waiting a week or two. -- John Reaves (talk) 10:34, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Well it's better I start bugging you guys.. before I make my moves. Definitely, I will buzz you all again on next Monday 12.00 - 1.00 am IST BalanceRestored 10:42, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Unblock request

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

BalanceRestored (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

hi friends, good you all asked me to take a break. It helped me understand the problems you people should be facing, what wikipedia is really about, what the main page is for, what talk page is for, the policy page is vast, i did not read each and everything to be honest. But, I will surely consult the help by typing helpme command. I committed mistakes unknowingly. I did not know policies as I never read them, and did not bother reading and understanding those. Again, I am not a professional writer so, I did not know the meaning of what writing actually means. A wrong sentence on a stone can misguide hundreds who read them. I understand wikipedia's is a encyclopedia and not a place where I can write my personal views. I've considered writing things over blogs to propagate my personal views. With regarding the abuse of multiple IP address, Yes I did commit that. I was trying to be oversmart about the policy that was made to check this abuse. I considered that I can use my wife's ID to propagate my views and it was valid. I thought it was appropriate. I am really sorry about the mess. Please unblock me. It is good to find wikipedia has very strong policies to check almost every thing. I misunderstood Buddipriya, I did not know she was actually trying to guide me. Once again sorry about everything.

Decline reason:

See below. — Sandstein 10:38, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again.

    • If we are convinced that your proposed edits will improve Misplaced Pages as an encyclopedia, you will be unblocked and placed on probation.

If you need help while working with your proposed edits, you may add "{{helpme|your question here}}" to your talk page. Thank you. Sandstein 10:38, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for providing me an opportunity. I now find things real tough to follow every rule and edit things at wikipedia. I think this will happen for the first time and I should soon get used to things. I will go through each and every step you have mentioned. Thanks once again for taking all the pain to maintain the standard at wikipedia. BalanceRestored 11:04, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Indian caste system

The Indian caste system is the traditional system of social stratification on the Indian Subcontinent, in which social classes are defined by a number of endogamous, hereditary groups often termed as jātis or castes. The jātis are often classified among one of the four varnas or classes. Within a jāti there exist exogamous groups known as gotras, the lineage or clan of a person.

I think we should consider deleting the above cut sentence due to the following reasons.
1. India is a secular country which is open to follow any religion.
2. The sentence talks specifically about Jati, Gotra, Varna which are commonly known to be a part of Hinduism. Social stratification is also present in other religions. Only talking about Hinduism with in the main definition does not seem to be valid.
3. Can we consider taking the sentence off from the main definition and can consider talking that separately.
4. The topic under discussion is Indian Caste System and not Hindu Caste System.

{{helpme}} Is what I suggest a valid reason to take the sentence off the main defination and talk seperately as the Topic under discussion is Indian Caste System and not Hindu Caste System. Also please let me know if there is a Policy developed by Misplaced Pages to check OFF TOPIC DISCUSSIONS BalanceRestored 05:49, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

what would you like help about? Lmc169 07:01, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
If there is any policy developed by wikipedia to check "OFF Topic discussion". If everyone starts writing about every religion practiced in India, within the definition it could become a problem. BalanceRestored 07:06, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Define off-topic Lmc169 07:10, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Jati, Gotra, Varna is not practiced among Christan's, Followers of Islam. India is a place where many religions are followed.
try here Lmc169 07:14, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Let me check. In the mean time. If any one can help me with the exact policy if it is present/absent. It will be very helpful. Thanks!!!BalanceRestored 07:17, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Happy Editing Lmc169 07:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Conclusion

169 tired best to explain me with details. Since, it is not yet very conclusive if the sentence is off topic. I am not considering the sentence to be removed for the while.

Indian caste system

The Indian caste system is the traditional system of social stratification on the Indian Subcontinent, in which social classes are defined by a number of endogamous, hereditary groups often termed as jātis or castes. The jātis are often classified among one of the four varnas or classes. Within a jāti there exist exogamous groups known as gotras, the lineage or clan of a person.

The following scored topic is not neutral. Can someone help me to understand the policy regarding neutrality? This sentence is probably hurting sentiments of many citizens from India and Indian Origin. This is a very contradictory statement. Below are objections/discussions raised by many important personalities with regards to Varna and Caste. These will help you understand what the topic is all about.

Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi's Different views about caste and varna
WHO WERE THE SHUDRAS
Mahatma Gandhi

Please see the meaning of Varna, Caste. Varna and Caste are entirely different. People's minds where physiologically made Bonsai with that very sentence. Sections of society where made stay away from education for decades on the name of caste. So, please help me to understand the policy of neutrality to keep this very sentence away from wikipedia at least.

Sections of society in India say

The jātis are often classified among one of the four varnas or classes.

and Sections of society will object the same.

Since the sentence is a not neutral let me know the policy regarding the neutrality.

{{helpme}} If a sentence is not neutral and for decades there is a controversy over this topic. Is there a policy with respect to neutrality as I read one. Please refer to the above details. Let me know if you need further clarification, simplification. I feel the above sentence needs to be either removed or changed so that the sentence does not pin any ones feelings. BalanceRestored 09:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

  • The policy is at WP:NPOV. In all cases, it is best to present just the facts and to back them up with a reliable source. When there are opposing viewpoints that should be represented, the policy states: When asserting a fact about an opinion, it is important also to assert facts about competing opinions, and to do so without implying that any one of the opinions is correct. It is also generally important to give the facts about the reasons behind the views, and to make it clear who holds them. It is often best to cite a prominent representative of the view. Minority viewpoints can be presented, but should not be given undue weight. Does that help? --Strangerer (Talk) 09:52, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
    • You might also want to bring this up on the talk page of Indian caste system, because I'm not Indian and I'm not at all knowledgeable about the topic. People on the talk page might be able to help this specific instance better than someone from the helpdesk could. --Strangerer (Talk) 09:55, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Conclusion

Edits with respect to the above sentence is still not conclusive. Will need to wait for more time. I will need to consider more important peoples opinion on this issue, or collect more importance evidence on the same. Also, I am still not clear with the WP:NPOV so, will need to spend more time to understand the same.

Request reason:

dear friends, it has been a very helpful week with wikipedia. I understand how difficult it is to actually follow wikipedia policies and then do the editing. It was very easy to vandalize and put ahead my views, but it is a mountain climb editing with this Controversial topic following all the policies. I now will need freedom to actually contact other important people. Exchange views with other users to expand this topic further. With out getting out it is not possible. I tried my best to edit important sections of the article Indian Caste System using my own discussion page. I do not think it is further possible to edit the main article with out taking sufficient help. If you think I am going in the right direction please Unblock me.

Request reason:

You Said: "You were blocked for sockpuppeting, and nothing in your request addresses that. Abusing sockpuppet accounts is not acceptable", Yes I agree I was sockpuppeting, I had already apologized for the same. I was unaware of the policy that checked sockpuppeting. I thought it was valid. I've read and understood the policy related to sockpuppeting. I have decided to first read and understand the policies if ever I feel my move could be compromising rules made here. I understand I tried to make a over smart move, that has made me land here. I apologize for the same. Since this is my very first mistake please excuse me for the same. Also, I've read policies regarding edit warring, I also apologize for the edit waring issue. Believe me, this is the very first time I had been through all this. Kindly unblock me. I've also accompanied details with regards to the article that required a change as it was requested. I understand these policies are here to help Wikipedians. I understand I was being too careless.

Decline reason:

The jumbled mess of contributions above seems to revolve around the addition or deletion of a single contested sentence in an article. At any rate the contribution you propose is not sufficiently constructive to convince me you merit to be unblocked. — Sandstein 05:23, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

If you think I am still not trying my best to follow the rules, please let me know. As of now I am really sorry as I do not have any other ideas left with. I was asked to follow the rules and edit what I wanted to. I did try to follow the rules and edit as far as I can. I think I did what was the best. Now what further?? Also, this above set of line you proposed me to get unblocked is normally provided for people who ask for becoming administrator. I am a new user.

Let me know. I will try my best following that. Remember HELP Editors gave UP and I am too early to take decisions on my own after having seen these policies. That's the reason these edits where non conclusive. Again, I am not here to be unfriendly and be disruptive. But give me some time to use the discussions at the main article. I can only assure you that I now understand fully what to edit at the main page and what not to. I will edit the main article only if I am 100% sure that it requires an edit. I know for sure I was wrong now reading and being trough the policies. Again... is it ok, if you called my true painful efforts to follow the rules a "jumbled mess"??. and you will again block me if I aggravate.. is that right? What would you had done if you have a little kid and the kid brushed good colors on the canvas and it made no sense? did not all the top artist in the world start this way??? is that not an true attempt. I already told I am new.. I tried my best.. Don't you think that was a little discouraging?

I'm not sure if this is any of my business, but I feel I should intervene

From the unblock requests above, it seems that this user is trying pretty hard to follow the rules and do the right thing. Technically, they were sockpuppeting, yes, but I think that's reasonable given that it's hard to get a response any other way (my IP has been autoblocked before and it's very aggravating). From what I can see (and granted that isn't very much), this person seems to be good at heart, but they've gotten so tangled in techincalities and silly rules that they're essentially without a hope. I recommend that you unblock them, even if for a day or two; if they do bad things, you can revert it and block them with minimal effort. If they do good things, then you've just made someone's day (and possibly week, month, year, etc.) - 2-16 17:09, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

I tend to agree with the above statements. It's really none of my business, but it does look like this user is trying to do the right thing. --Trumpetband 15:13, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Help Asked and Resolution

Is it possible to check from a huge article the editors details for a specific sentence or word. BalanceRestored 10:33, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

The information's in the history, but somewhat hard to track down. There's a feature request for something like this, but it'll likely take a long time to implement; in the meantime, the easiest way is probably to pick a revision from the history, see if the content's there, then pick a newer or older revision according to whether the content's there or not and repeat until you home in on the revision that added it. (See binary search for an explanation of this.) Hope that helps! --ais523 10:36, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
