@ RegentsPark, Sitush, Dougweller, Fowler&fowler, and SpacemanSpiff:
This has gotta be the most brilliantly written article I have read on wikipedia. See the version I started with and note:
As the Empire's chief religious councilor, the role of Panditrao most closely resembled that of the Egyptian Theban High Priests of Amun, the High Priest of Israel prior to the destruction of the Second Temple (Kohen Gadol), and the Papacy of the Holy Roman Empire (Vicarius Iesu Christi). According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the religious ministry of the Panditrao should be distinguished from the secular ministry of the Nyayadhish (Chief Justice), which resolved the Empire's civil and criminal matters.
And I am sure I have missed many such gems, which you are free to discover and claim. Abecedare ( talk) 11:51, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
Thinking to make a page of Shiva, where i will present his all or most popular names, like there's list of Krishna's names, there should be Shiva's too. Then the notable similarities or spread of Shiva worship in different countries whether in Asia or outside, different forms, as per academics/scholars, then the current details of his popularity, festivals, cultural(movies, novels), etc.
But thinking, what would be a good title for such page? "Legacy of Shiva"? Or "Historicity of Shiva" like this page? Let me know your view. Bladesmulti ( talk) 12:17, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Hindu iconography and

Thanks! I think you should consider these :- 2 edit. 1. Harrappan civilization is (2600 BC - 1900 BC).. Should be corrected. 2. Line "earliest evidence for prehistoric religion in India that may have left its traces in Hinduism", the word "may" should be removed, because the last line of the same section already talks about remaining disputes(linked with deities).

We noticed though that when you edited Arsha Vidya Gurukulam, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Seva ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hey Abecedare. You are probably familiar with the issues going on with the Karna article involving the article length. The thing is, and this is knowing that you seem to believe that the article should be shorter, I am having a hard time communicating with Dharmadhyaksha. While I have been, in my edits, trying to incorporate his viewpoints, he's been simply reverting all my edits to his preferred form, and in the process, violating several Wikipedia guidelines. Moreover, he's engaged in personal attacks and has basically said that he does not want to discuss these issues. With that, I think the proper thing to do is simply revert his edits. If he isn't willing to discuss the merits of his edits, I don't think they should be kept. I don't want to get into an edit war. I'd be happy to discuss issues involving the length of the article with you or others, and I already can see ways to reduce the length. What do you think?

Contemporary Indian (and other) politics articles are a pain because with the plethora of "news" sources available, motivated editors can find backing for almost any claim. At least when dealing with other POV magnets (history, religion etc) we can demand academic sources. I don't know enough about India Against Corruption to be able to tell whether the claims made by AcorruptionfreeIndia (who certainly is wrong about wikipedia policies), nevertheless happen to be true. Can't regular editors at AAP etc weigh in? Abecedare ( talk) 16:11, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

In reply to your email: Apparently back in Nov 2006, I created Manjeera, which was not only an unsourced stub with external links possibly violating WP:ELNO, but also completely redundant as article Manjira already existed at that point of time. Perhaps I should excise this embarrassment from my userpage "credit list", but on second thought better to leave it there as a useful personal reminder not to bite new editors.
Anyway, it does seem (even from my Nov 2006 article text) that Manjeera = Manjira = Taal (instrument), so a merge would be appropriate. Since I haven't looked at sources yet, do you know offhand if Taal would be the most common name for the instrument? Abecedare ( talk) 18:41, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
@ Dharmadhyaksha: I hadn't seen the VPT discussion (will read it later today; in a bit of a rush at the moment). In any case, if you could do the merger, that would be most welcome. Else, I'll take on the task in the next day or so.
About Karna: See my edits to the page,talk page. Also left a message at Pinkfloyds talk page. Hopefully won't have take this up to ANI and get him blocked etc.
Secondly, the two PhD theses I listed on the article talk page are available for download (legally) online! Just google, or I'll add links in a few hours. I don't think we need to rely much on the "original research" part of the theses for our article, but their literature survey and summary sections should be useful sources, and they may even suggest how the article can be organized and potential sections.

Hi! I'm in need of some regarding Tarun Tejpal who has currently intense media attention. I've read WP:BLPN#Tarun Tejpal and I'm not quite sure how to proceed. It's regarding these three related articles: Tarun Tejpal, Shoma Chaudhury and Tehelka—which I've been doing some major expansion and that's how I've got involved in this.
If you have time, could you check whether the controversy's mention in all of three is fine? These past days, I'm in two minds, whether to expand it because of it's almost global coverage or decrease it on account of WP:BLPCRIME.

Hinduism has been notable for influencing religions, such as Bahá'í Faith, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Zoroastrianism, and others.
Influence is also notable among the sects of Islam, such as Ahmadiyya, sects of Christianity, such as Catharism [9]. During the British colonization of India, number of scholars regarded Hinduism to have been prevalent around the world, and influencing different cultures of the world, not only in form of religion, but influential in science, arts, etc, in this regard, Jean Sylvain Bailly said that :-
The movement of stars which was calculated by Hindus 4,500 years ago, does not differ even by a minute from the tables which we are using today. The Hindu systems of astronomy are much more ancient than those of the Egyptians - even the Jews derived from the Hindus their knowledge.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox acknowledge that the Hindu texts remains influential for many aspects, she writes:-
India - the land of Vedas, the remarkable works contains not only religious ideas for a perfect life, but also facts which science has proved true. Electricity, radium, electronics, airship, all are known to the seers who founded the Vedas.
-Something like that? Bladesmulti ( talk) 03:15, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

You were right that 2 of the sources did mention Asokasundari. However none of them mention anything about Parvati's curse to Asokasunari at time of Ganesha's beheading nor they say she is mentioned in vrat-kathas of Gujrat.

Dear User:Abecedare, thank you for your message on my talk page. Indeed, the edits made by the anonymous user can be characterized as POV pushing.

Hi, I appreciate your correcting me and I agree the whole section of Yukteswar's heretic theory of the Yuga needs to be rewritten. I am relatively new to Wikipedia, but I'm quickly learning that it can't be quoted or trusted because its policies completely fall apart when it comes to religion, spirituality, and articles on noumenal subjects that have no scientific proof. After reading the terribly written "Mantra" and "Meditation" articles I've pretty much lost interest in Wankipedia and can't even be bothered trying anymore. And with my latest edit being quickly reverted (wtf is your definition of heretic?) it just feels like wasting time and effort, going around in circles and ending up with Wankipedia's western scientific atheistic bias. It suffers the same problem as democracy having leaders elected by the plebs... the blind leading the blind.

Essentially, we're trying to help fill out Kailash's profile so there is more information on his work on public sources due to the light thrown on him today because of the Nobel prize. I'd like to add this post but not sure if I'd be allowed to?
During his time as GCE President millions of public engaged in global campaigns for youth and adult literacy, girls’ education, access to quality education and the increase of trained teachers among others during its Global Action Week. [2] [3] [4] In 2010, Kailash led GCE during its successful 1GOAL: Education For All campaign, which saw 19 million people worldwide lobby for increased financing and access to quality education, culminating in the announcement of AUS$ 5 billion by the Australian Government at the 1GOAL closing event during the 2010 UN General Assembly, hosted by Kailash on behalf of GCE.

A year ago, you were the 635th recipient of my Pumpkin Sky Prize, -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 20:48, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply and thanks for the Tip.
I would like to ask you about point 1 in the article though...
It states : 1. The Supreme God is called by various names such as Shiva, Rudra, etc. From this feature one might assume it was a Shaiva Upanishad, but such an assumption would be incorrect because, at the time of this Upanishad, Shaiva Agamas were not there. Also, at that time the Saguna Brahman, (God with attributes), used to be called by different names, each indicating a particular manifestation of Brahman. Just as the names Shiva or Rudra are used to refer to Brahman, names such as Vayu, Aditya or Agni are also used for same purpose in this Upanishad, rather than referring to the demigods of those names. Moreover, if this Upanishad is indeed a Shaiva Upanishad, other sects of Hinduism such as Vaishnavas wouldn't have quoted its verses/mantras as authority in their respective treatises.
1.Where are the references to "facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites" for this statement?. (shouldn't it be removed then?)
2.Don't you think that words such as Demigods are too misleading? Refer to the Wiki article on Agni and you would know what I mean.
3.Isnt the last sentence of that paragraph an assumption or opinion?

Hi bhai, we can leave the disputed origin of Taj Mahal in there (undo the undo you did of my work) and we can mention that SO FAR THIS IS CONSIDERED FRINGE ... rational for suggesting this is that several independent unconnected authors have raised valid questions/doubts about the origin of the Taj Mahal and it needs to be mentioned to fully inform the reader. Wiki may not be a source of primary research but a lot of people use this as a starting point. Wiki content should represent content based on PROMINENCE but we can not confuse prominence with MAJORITARIAN view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vdhillon ( talk • contribs) 03:15, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Hello again, hope you don't mind if I ask you for some advice regarding how to deal with such statements.
It occurs regularly when the subject is in the news for some controversy (like say, our politicians) and I'm still wondering what's right to do in such cases. Take the example of Asaram Bapu where someone recently someone tagged this statement, well, what's the solution to it? Do we remove it or mention the name of the source? Are such "X was criticised" statements unencyclopaedic? They are usually there in most criticism and controversy sections the plague articles. - Ugog Nizdast ( talk) 09:46, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Four Yugas is one Kalpa
Yuga also known as Kalpa has different and short timeline. Time is a loop, with one endlessly repeating kalpa (5000 years) i.e. cycles like day and night, waning and waxing moon, and seasons.
It consists of: Heaven: (Day of Brahma)
Hell: (Night of Brahma)

@ RegentsPark, Sitush, Dougweller, Fowler&fowler, and SpacemanSpiff:
This has gotta be the most brilliantly written article I have read on wikipedia. See the version I started with and note:
As the Empire's chief religious councilor, the role of Panditrao most closely resembled that of the Egyptian Theban High Priests of Amun, the High Priest of Israel prior to the destruction of the Second Temple (Kohen Gadol), and the Papacy of the Holy Roman Empire (Vicarius Iesu Christi). According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the religious ministry of the Panditrao should be distinguished from the secular ministry of the Nyayadhish (Chief Justice), which resolved the Empire's civil and criminal matters.
And I am sure I have missed many such gems, which you are free to discover and claim. Abecedare ( talk) 11:51, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
Thinking to make a page of Shiva, where i will present his all or most popular names, like there's list of Krishna's names, there should be Shiva's too. Then the notable similarities or spread of Shiva worship in different countries whether in Asia or outside, different forms, as per academics/scholars, then the current details of his popularity, festivals, cultural(movies, novels), etc.
But thinking, what would be a good title for such page? "Legacy of Shiva"? Or "Historicity of Shiva" like this page? Let me know your view. Bladesmulti ( talk) 12:17, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Hey Abecedare. You are probably familiar with the issues going on with the Karna article involving the article length. The thing is, and this is knowing that you seem to believe that the article should be shorter, I am having a hard time communicating with Dharmadhyaksha. While I have been, in my edits, trying to incorporate his viewpoints, he's been simply reverting all my edits to his preferred form, and in the process, violating several Wikipedia guidelines. Moreover, he's engaged in personal attacks and has basically said that he does not want to discuss these issues. With that, I think the proper thing to do is simply revert his edits. If he isn't willing to discuss the merits of his edits, I don't think they should be kept. I don't want to get into an edit war. I'd be happy to discuss issues involving the length of the article with you or others, and I already can see ways to reduce the length. What do you think?

In reply to your email: Apparently back in Nov 2006, I created Manjeera, which was not only an unsourced stub with external links possibly violating WP:ELNO, but also completely redundant as article Manjira already existed at that point of time. Perhaps I should excise this embarrassment from my userpage "credit list", but on second thought better to leave it there as a useful personal reminder not to bite new editors.
Anyway, it does seem (even from my Nov 2006 article text) that Manjeera = Manjira = Taal (instrument), so a merge would be appropriate. Since I haven't looked at sources yet, do you know offhand if Taal would be the most common name for the instrument? Abecedare ( talk) 18:41, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Secondly, the two PhD theses I listed on the article talk page are available for download (legally) online! Just google, or I'll add links in a few hours.

Hinduism has been notable for influencing religions, such as Bahá'í Faith, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Zoroastrianism, and others.
Influence is also notable among the sects of Islam, such as Ahmadiyya, sects of Christianity, such as Catharism [9]. During the British colonization of India, number of scholars regarded Hinduism to have been prevalent around the world, and influencing different cultures of the world, not only in form of religion, but influential in science, arts, etc, in this regard, Jean Sylvain Bailly said that :-
The movement of stars which was calculated by Hindus 4,500 years ago, does not differ even by a minute from the tables which we are using today. The Hindu systems of astronomy are much more ancient than those of the Egyptians - even the Jews derived from the Hindus their knowledge.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox acknowledge that the Hindu texts remains influential for many aspects, she writes:-
India - the land of Vedas, the remarkable works contains not only religious ideas for a perfect life, but also facts which science has proved true. Electricity, radium, electronics, airship, all are known to the seers who founded the Vedas.

A GLAM project is being planned at the National Museum in New Delhi. The Pasupati seal is in the collections and is almost certainly going to be one of the target articles for creation/improvement. Since you are interested in this artefact it would be a good time for taking credit for the work you have done by moving it to mainspace. Look forward to your collaboration on this and any other articles. Shyamal ( talk) 11:14, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
You were right that 2 of the sources did mention Asokasundari. However none of them mention anything about Parvati's curse to Asokasunari at time of Ganesha's beheading nor they say she is mentioned in vrat-kathas of Gujrat. I think the unsourced text should be removed from the article unless there are reliable sources to back up that information. MythoEditor ( talk) 09:12, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi Abededare Thanks for highlighting the problems on linking it. The external link may have appeared as promotional since it was leading to an external commercial website. However, we thought that a nice article was created by the team and people should know about it.
Nevertheless we will take care.

Dear User:Abecedare, thank you for your message on my talk page. Indeed, the edits made by the anonymous user can be characterized as POV pushing. Academicians, such as Afroz Taj, present the topic of Hindustani/Hindi-Urdu like this. I would strongly recommend you filing a request for page protection as the anonymous user has not even attempted to discuss his/her edits. I would be happy to comment on your page protection request endorsing it. It seems that User:Dhtwiki has also noticed the POV pushing and may be able to assist too. I hope this helps. With regards, Anupam Talk 00:56, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you'd added a comment to the conversation I had on Situch's talk page regarding the article on Wiener's Cybernetics:_Or_Control_and_Communication_in_the_Animal_and_the_Machine. As you say it's an important book, and I'd expected that more editors would weigh in once I'd got the ball rolling there. Do you have any specific suggestions about the direction things should move in to improve it? Thanks DaveApter ( talk) 12:17, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I appreciate your correcting me and I agree the whole section of Yukteswar's heretic theory of the Yuga needs to be rewritten. I am relatively new to Wikipedia, but I'm quickly learning that it can't be quoted or trusted because its policies completely fall apart when it comes to religion, spirituality, and articles on noumenal subjects that have no scientific proof. After reading the terribly written "Mantra" and "Meditation" articles I've pretty much lost interest in Wankipedia and can't even be bothered trying anymore. And with my latest edit being quickly reverted (wtf is your definition of heretic?) it just feels like wasting time and effort, going around in circles and ending up with Wankipedia's western scientific atheistic bias. It suffers the same problem as democracy having leaders elected by the plebs... the blind leading the blind.
I'm so over wikipedia and I'm outa here. It's been. Samsbanned ( talk) 00:59, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
Apologies - my first insertion was just a test - I haven't added anything on Wikipedia in ages so sorry it looked like I was just doing some promo! I added more with a proper reference after this, which I think you've now seen, and I am putting together text for our page (which I'll send to an editor for checking!).
Essentially, we're trying to help fill out Kailash's profile so there is more information on his work on public sources due to the light thrown on him today because of the Nobel prize. I'd like to add this post but not sure if I'd be allowed to?
During his time as GCE President millions of public engaged in global campaigns for youth and adult literacy, girls’ education, access to quality education and the increase of trained teachers among others during its Global Action Week. [2] [3] [4] In 2010, Kailash led GCE during its successful 1GOAL: Education For All campaign, which saw 19 million people worldwide lobby for increased financing and access to quality education, culminating in the announcement of AUS$ 5 billion by the Australian Government at the 1GOAL closing event during the 2010 UN General Assembly, hosted by Kailash on behalf of GCE.

A year ago, you were the 635th recipient of my Pumpkin Sky Prize, -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 20:48, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply and thanks for the Tip.
I would like to ask you about point 1 in the article though...
It states : 1. The Supreme God is called by various names such as Shiva, Rudra, etc. From this feature one might assume it was a Shaiva Upanishad, but such an assumption would be incorrect because, at the time of this Upanishad, Shaiva Agamas were not there. Also, at that time the Saguna Brahman, (God with attributes), used to be called by different names, each indicating a particular manifestation of Brahman. Just as the names Shiva or Rudra are used to refer to Brahman, names such as Vayu, Aditya or Agni are also used for same purpose in this Upanishad, rather than referring to the demigods of those names. Moreover, if this Upanishad is indeed a Shaiva Upanishad, other sects of Hinduism such as Vaishnavas wouldn't have quoted its verses/mantras as authority in their respective treatises.
1.Where are the references to "facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites" for this statement?. (shouldn't it be removed then?)
2.Don't you think that words such as Demigods are too misleading? Refer to the Wiki article on Agni and you would know what I mean.
3.Isnt the last sentence of that paragraph an assumption or opinion?

Greetings Abecedare. Thank you for your contributions to the project. In particular I appreciate your contributions at Talk:Ayurveda. I appreciate your attempt to depolarize a controversy, always helpful in contentious situations. I am particularly impressed at your balanced expression of the variety of opinions and the deft splitting of two intertwined subjects. I hope the input you receive is adequate for you to execute your proposal as an edit. I also appreciate your improvement of the reference and explanation thereof. References are one of my principle activities on WP and accuracy is important to me. BTW I have access to a number of databases through the WP Library, I do research assistance upon request on my talk page. Let me know if there is something I can be of help with.

Hi bhai, we can leave the disputed origin of Taj Mahal in there (undo the undo you did of my work) and we can mention that SO FAR THIS IS CONSIDERED FRINGE ... rational for suggesting this is that several independent unconnected authors have raised valid questions/doubts about the origin of the Taj Mahal and it needs to be mentioned to fully inform the reader. Wiki may not be a source of primary research but a lot of people use this as a starting point. Wiki content should represent content based on PROMINENCE but we can not confuse prominence with MAJORITARIAN view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vdhillon ( talk • contribs) 03:15, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Hello again, hope you don't mind if I ask you for some advice regarding how to deal with such statements.
It occurs regularly when the subject is in the news for some controversy (like say, our politicians) and I'm still wondering what's right to do in such cases. Take the example of Asaram Bapu where someone recently someone tagged this statement, well, what's the solution to it? Do we remove it or mention the name of the source? Are such "X was criticised" statements unencyclopaedic? They are usually there in most criticism and controversy sections the plague articles. - Ugog Nizdast ( talk) 09:46, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Four Yugas is one Kalpa
Yuga also known as Kalpa has different and short timeline. Time is a loop, with one endlessly repeating kalpa (5000 years) i.e. cycles like day and night, waning and waxing moon, and seasons.
It consists of: Heaven: (Day of Brahma)
Hell: (Night of Brahma)

Indian Stock exchange, Space research and aeronautical engg and Bollywood (adding a pic of bolly not a section). Regarding your saying- it is not a page that will advertise India. Cmeon friend. I have compared it to pages like Estonia and I request you to read what I have written there- "Public holidays in Estonia"- no I think the fact that India is 10 largest stock exchange is much more important.
