XLinkBot can sometimes miss a link if it is reposted after being removed. See {{uw-spam1}} for the first of an increasing series of user warning templates for this type of thing. --Geniac (talk) 17:22, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello Shannon Rose. I also recently came upon the Hariharananda article. Aside from the Miami Herald story on his death, have you ever come across any reliable sources? The individual seem to be short on notability and reliable sources. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 19:48, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, Ism schism! Unfortunately I have not come across any reliable source other than that Miami Herald one, which could very well be nothing but paid PR. I sincerely believe that if there are ever any those sources should have already come out given the seeming desperation of a certain editor to put the man in a pedestal. The subject appears to be a non-notable lightweight in the field, no landmark achievements, no bestselling book, no substantial following like Yogananda, Ammachi, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, etc., and his only claim to fame (being a disciple of Sri Yukteswar) is not accepted by people outside his cult. I sincerely believe that an AFD is in order at this point. – Shannon Rose (talk) 21:41, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Sankara_Saranam

Well spotted! That means it can be speedied (Db-repost, recreation of previous deletion). Except, I know nothing of the area, do you know if circumstances have changed or is there anything missing that might make him notable? Ben--Bsnowball (talk) 13:08, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for stopping vandalism in the Eliseo Soriano article. Although you did remove what I wrote last time. Dar book (talk) 09:40, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

August 2008

You might want to look at Talk:Eliseo_Soriano#"Vandalism" (News_Quotes), There's a discussion of what should be put in and how we should put it into. --w 20:18, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Kriya Yoga: Difference in Techniques

Shannon Rose: You yourself use Swami Satyeswaranada's "Kriya, Finding the True Path" when making an argument regarding Hariharananda: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Paramahamsa Hariharananda. I used the same source to ascertain that the original Kriya Yoga differs from what is now taught by SRF. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Walterelyon (talk • contribs) 30 August 2008

Your checkuser entry

How did you come to include RainbowOfLight (talk · contribs) in your Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/Case/Dar book? You didn't mention how she might be connected and she is a very-long-term vandalism fighter in good standing here. Was it a typo perhaps? —Wknight94 (talk) 21:31, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Sheree Silver

Hi, Shannon. The deletion of Sheree Silver was discussed at deletion review and it was decided to restore and update the article based on new sources that had been provided. You can see the discussion here. It will need to go through the articles for deletion process again, if wanted, and I have accordingly declined your request for speedy deletion. Kind regards, --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 17:10, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Shannon Rose, I recently put in a Template:RFCbio_list for Sheree Silver because another editor and I are having a disagreement on inclusion of the aforementioned sources. Feel free to comment; visit User_talk:Kaiwhakahaere for the info. (P.S. - I responded to your question about Eliseo Soriano on my talk page) Spring12 (talk) 19:07, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

You notified me of this AfD. My assumption is that you did this because I participated at the first AfD not so long ago, and that you have similarly informed all such editors. If you could confirm that all involved parties have been notified with a note at the present AfD discussion, I would appreciate it. Regards, - Eldereft (cont.) 00:01, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for notifying me about the Sheree Silver thing - I cannot believe I wasn't told about the DRV, even as the person directly attacked me. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 15:08, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

On a more personal note than my above comment - yeah, what SH said. The lack of discrimination in the source list presented at that discussion may have the effect of discouraging fair analysis via argumentum verbosium. - Eldereft (cont.) 16:26, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
