Bakaman Bakatalk 17:01, 26 November 2006 (UTC) looklook, i've left that crazy and biased article that you wrote on "indian influence on chinese martial arts" alone but if you continue to edit war on the article that JFD and I have written, i will start to seriously edit that biased article of yours- you and i along with everyone who has seen your article considers the one that you have written to be extremely POV.

I have myself deleted it a couple of times, but this group props it up again. I don't think its even a religion, but just a small cult. Do you think Ayyavazhi deserves mention as a Dharmic religion ? Please let me know your views. Indian Air Force (IAF) But Ayyavazhi is too small (even smaller than Osho and ISKCON) and too recent (Sufism is older) to be called a religion. A religion either encompasses a significant majority of the global population and/or has withstood the test of time (like Zoroastrianism). Ayyavazhi is neither. I seriously think its an attempt to create a separate identity by forming an artificial "religion", in reality its only a cult. Its the same debate whether Pluto is an asteroid or a planet. Anyways I respect your opinion. Thanks. Indian Air Force(IAF) Signpost updated for November 27th.

Ralbot 01:37, 29 November 2006 (UTC) Thank you ...Thank you for the barnstar you gave me, as well as for the compliments with which it was accompanied. I appreciate it. Cheers. —Saposcat 15:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
I've awarded four people with barnstars till date and three of them respond in the same post! Jagged 85: I appreciate your extensive, extensive contributions regarding articles related to Indian martial arts including the main article itself, my friend. You found citations and went to lengths that I could honestly not reach in the past but wil make every attempt to learn from your excellent contributions and better myself as an editor in the future. Your contributions are much appreciated by this editor. MichaelMaggs: If anyone deserves the Barnstar of good humor it's you, my friend. You were the very voice of reason in the process of finding a solution to Bodhidharma. I cannot imagine the process without your contributions and involvement. You also diffused tensions and worked towards ending conflict, with great sucsess. This member of the Wikipedia community is deeply appreiciative. Saposcat: In the middle of a tiring discussion on Bodhidharma, an editor appears and proposes paragraphs which are not only the part of the solution but are the solution. The editor says "Cheers" and his very opening words lighten up the mood. The editor works extensively on the article and creates a universally acceptable version. I truly am grateful for your contributions, my friend. Freedom skies 08:16, 30 November 2006 (UTC) How come you never at Hinduism? We need people like you.

Ralbot 05:35, 5 December 2006 (UTC) Currently, the latter is a redirect to the former. "Decline" sounds more POV and less encyclopedic than "History." In addition, if the name was changed, then the whole history of Buddhism in India can be talked about, which includes than modern revival rather than just the decline. What do you think?

Kindly see the "Decline of Buddhism in India" article. There is another editor who reverts to his version full of repititions and even styling errors. I tried to talk to him, accomadate him and even offered to compromise but he seems obdurate. Kindly protect the article till we talk it out and reach a version while experimenting in a sandbox instead of the article. Freedom skies 11:08, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

In addition, could you please a bit more civil? I do understand the word monstrosity here. Thank you. NinaEliza (talk • contribs • count • logs • email) 04:15, 23 December 2006 (UTC) My revertFreedom Skies, I'm planning to revert your recent edits if you cannot explain why you removed two external links, and why you performed a reversion without a satisfactory explanation in the either the edit summary or on this talk page. On a more general note, it's important that sources and quotes aren't "cherry-picked". I find it had to believe, for example that the current quote from Dr. Ambedkar is his complete view on the Decline of Buddhism in India. It's also important to not give any view undue weight, or obfuscate reality. Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. NinaEliza (talk • contribs • logs) 03:57, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
Warning
Took the liberty of striking the bogus warnings out.Bakaman 16:11, 26 December 2006 (UTC) Hi Freedom SkiesI'm sorry, but the debate going on over at History of Buddhism in India is way over my (current) head. More shamefully, I don't care much to research very thoroughly. My true areas of deep interest and/or knowledge lie elsewhere. I'm backing out the debate but I entreat you to be civil in both your editing and your comments at all times, in the interest of the article and Wikipedia itself.NinaEliza (talk • contribs • logs) 21:27, 26 December 2006 (UTC) Some Advice regarding the conduct Nina reported on PAINHello there, I come here in now in my function as a PAIN reviewer. I have reviewed the case Nina posted, and before you freak out, I'm not here to block you, or to warn you :) I do, however, have a few pieces of advice for the future:

3RRPlease refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. My FriendYour suggestions and questions are very reasonable. I'll respond as I can:
If you find it reasonable, I will add the "See also" to the top of both articles, and try to clean up a few leading words from both articles (namely, replacing "majority" with "large number" and minority with "certain scholars." I think this reflects what you are trying to say without adding intonations of judgement. Then we can put this POV issue behind us? Best regards, Djma12 21:17, 1 January 2007 (UTC) P.S. And yes, Yi Jin Jing and the "Bodhidharma, .." are still next on my list for work.

I tried to give them names both parties can agree with. When I get your OK I will move the bulk of the table to the discussion page so we can discuss them more easily. — Sebastian 21:45, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
ApologiesMany apologies for my outburst in one of the edit summaries on the Indus Valley Civilization page. It wasn't directed at anyone or any group. I was stressed and got frustrated. I hope you understand. Again, many apologies. Regards, Fowler&fowler«Talk» 22:55, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Edit warWas that necessary? We can not conduct a mediation while both parties are putting their energy into an edit war. I am especially surprised since you just put me off because you said you didn't have enough time. But you have time for such childish actions? Because yours was the original version, and because I am not convinced that it should be changed, I will revert to your version. However, WP:3RR states: "Users may be blocked for edit warring or disruption even if they do not revert more than three times per day." Moreover, I should add a warning template here for repeatedly not including appropriate edit summaries. As a sign of goodwill, I will be lenient for now. I am writing a similar message to the other party. — Sebastian 02:04, 5 January 2007 (UTC) GizzaChat © 02:43, 5 January 2007 (UTC) Wikipedia:Hinduism-related Collaboration of the weekYou have been invited to help improve the article Sita Ram Goel in this weeks's Hinduism collaboration.

However, I would like to ask you to refrain from reversions while the mediation is going on. I believe it is crucial for a good solution that both parties build up trust, and I am afraid that such reversions undermine just that trust. There is no hurry; please wait till we reach a solution together! I was thinking about reverting your deletion. I decided not to do so because

I have taken the effort to explain myself in the edits, the talk page etc. Please do me the courtesy of explaining your own edits and issues a little more explicitly than a "not quite" or via snide remarks questioning my good faith otherwise we won't be able to get to a solution to improve the article.
