Hi Abecedare, I think that article should be AfD'd. Not sure if it is blatant POV, or the handiwork of a new Wikipedian who is not aware of the other articles. In either case, it serves little purpose. I am happy to help in whatever way I can. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 15:14, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello there, I've been having some difficulties in the Mango article page trying to cite a statement describing the mango as the 'the food of the gods', as mentioned in the Vedas. I've had a pretty long discussion with User:Paul144, you may refer to the contents of the discussion in my talk page and in his. To summarise, as we are not reaching a consencus, I was wondering if you could help me find the exact verse in the Vedas that describes the fruit as 'the food of gods', if not some verses that prominantly mentions the fruit. I'd need to know the verse and the version of the Vedas you are referring for a valid citation. I accessed you by referring to the Vedas article discussions page. By looking at your contributions, I feel you have significant knowledge on Hindu texts. Hence I'm hoping you can help me out with this, as I'm less familiar. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks and have a nice day! S3000 ☎ 16:45, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Abecedare, here is a list of issues that I feel are important to the lead. It is important that this be given space in the lead, all of this being repeated in the "quotations" currently on the talk page of the concerned article.

Thanks. I would also request that the final wordings not be led by "high fliers" such as here [1], people who think they know more about literature than the many scholars who have written on the topic.thanks. Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 21:01, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
No response needed. (From Talk:Kannada literature page, in response to user:Sarvagnya's assertion that Old-Middle-Modern was a linguistic classification, but Ancient-Medieval-Modern was a classification of literature.)
If user:Dineshkannambadi really thought that by his edit of December 14, 2007, where he changed the sentence,
"The history of Kannada literature is usually studied under four phases: pre-old Kannada ... Old Kannada, ..., Middle Kannada and ... New Kannada"
to
"The history of Kannada literature is usually studied under three phases: Ancient, medieval and modern Kannada,"
he was changing a linguistic classification to a diachronic one, then he shouldn't have left the "Kannada" in there, for both statements are linguistic classifications; furthermore, if he thought there were "no hard and fast rules of classifying" literature, he shouldn't have left "usually" in there. Granted, the edit could have been a mistake, but it's very unlikely that the statement "The history of Kannada literature is usually studied under three phases: Ancient, medieval and modern Kannada," would then have survived the next 1500 edits, survived being moved around, and gone into the FAC in that form if it wasn't intended. More troublingly, when the "Kannada" was finally dropped, it was the work not of you or user:Dineshkannambadi, but that of a copy-editor who likely didn't know what he was doing.

Hey, You recently showed concern about my edits on the India culture rotation page. You accused me of unilaterally editing and making undiscussed changes to the culture images. Let me point out that as per the culture rotation vote, all of my edits were agreed upon and discussed way before I added them.
Contrastingly, User:Fowler&fowler "reverted" my unilateral edits with his own additions, which had NEVER been discussed. He replaced the image of Shiva (which had 6 people for inclusion in the rotation and 3 against) with the Toda Hut image (which had 1 user for and 9 against) here.He also added an image of [[Brihadeeswarar temple] which had NEVER been discussed or agreed upon for inclusion in the rotation. So maybe, it is not I who is making unilateral edits, but rather he who is sneaking his own images while trying to "revert" my "unilateral" edits.

Abecedare, I don't mean to waste too much of your time, but can you please step in to British Raj talk pages. Many editors including me have pointed out neutrality issues with British Raj article (see achieves) and hence an NPOV tag was placed on the article. However, fowler seems to want to remove that tag now. All I am interested in doing is to establish that neutrality of the article is disputed. I am not looking for you to necessarily support my arguments. Just that Fowler seems to be receptive to your arguments and hence your views regarding neutrality of British Raj article would be helpful as an experienced editor.

Hello Abecedare. I noticed you have compiled some data about a certain sock issue. The guy you are tracking seems to operate from 136.159.*.*, which is associated with a Canadian university. Could you take a look at a recent report on the WP:AN3 noticeboard? It is currently at this link. This is somebody who wars on Indian religious topics, but has a 70.72.*.* IP, i.e. he is from the same city but not at the university. If we could get an exact match, then a longer block could be justified, There is some risk of mixing up nationalists who happen to think alike. Thanks for any advice you can provide.

Hello,
I see you posted a complaint about my contributions on my talk page.
Just a personal question:
If there is a cure for cancer, don't you think people should have a honest chance to read about it? Numerous references have been supplied. Whole articles have been deleted. I thought the idea of Wikipedia was to have both sides of the story side by side. Of course the medical establishment gets the final word on everything but to prefer quackwatch over medical research makes my stomach turn over. I'm not going to edit wikipedia anymore, I just wanted to hear what you think about helping to kill people like this.
Look how corporate cancer is killing the wiki? There is more but lets leave it to this. I'm all done editing with so much wp:own going on.

I thought I'd say this on the article talk page itself, but I noticed that Fowler's already laid waste to that thread with his signature off-topic babble. Sarvagnya 00:14, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Is there a way to stop some editors from removing citations and messing up FA articles, say like locking up the page? I hate to see any page locked up, but at times it seems needed. Please see Tamil language and Chola dynasty, two of the FAs being messed up by a group of editors. Can you help?-- Aadal ( talk) 03:08, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
As you have suggested I wanted to discuss your revert on [3]. Maybe you can spell it out for us please. Not that I insist that it should be there, but its a valid addition of the meaning of the word. In Sanskrit word very often taken apart when meaning is described. Wikidās ॐ 22:36, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Abecedare. I was looking forward to your content last week, perhaps you have been busy with other things. How is it coming along. In the meantime Fowler is laying waste to Halmidi page adding vast amounts of data that you did not prescribe. How do we resolve this issue. Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 15:56, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
"The paleography of this record also does not militate against our view that we can refer it to the end of the fifth century A. D. or the beginning of the sixth century A. D. (footnote: Sircar, Ind. Ep. p. 48; Ind. Hist. Quart., Vol. XVII, p. 134; cf also. Ep. Ind. Vol. XXVIII, p. 71, note 5) Since the Halmidi inscription does not belong to the reign of Kakusthavarman, it is not included in this volume." (p. 26)
Dear Abecedare, I have made some edits on the Svayam Bhagavan page. Please let me know what you think and any suggestions. Namaskar. Govinda Ramanuja dasa USA ( talk) 00:16, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Abecedare, can you please help with the S.B. article. Please look at the edits of mine and wikidas's. Can you please help with the article. It appears there might be some friction between wikidas and myself again. I really would like to contest alot with what has been put on this article. Please Help.

Please Abecedare, please help in the situation on the svayam bhagavan article. Can you please help in the situation with wikidas. Just look at the edits that were made. Can you please mediate between wikidas and myself and undoing any of his edits that need to be corrected. I have alerted DaGizza about the situation.Please help.

Hey, You recently showed concern about my edits on the India culture rotation page. You accused me of unilaterally editing and making undiscussed changes to the culture images. Let me point out that as per the culture rotation vote, all of my edits were agreed upon and discussed way before I added them.
Contrastingly, User:Fowler&fowler "reverted" my unilateral edits with his own additions, which had NEVER been discussed. He replaced the image of Shiva (which had 6 people for inclusion in the rotation and 3 against) with the Toda Hut image (which had 1 user for and 9 against) here.He also added an image of [[Brihadeeswarar temple] which had NEVER been discussed or agreed upon for inclusion in the rotation. So maybe, it is not I who is making unilateral edits, but rather he who is sneaking his own images while trying to "revert" my "unilateral" edits.

Abecedare, I don't mean to waste too much of your time, but can you please step in to British Raj talk pages. Many editors including me have pointed out neutrality issues with British Raj article (see achieves) and hence an NPOV tag was placed on the article. However, fowler seems to want to remove that tag now. All I am interested in doing is to establish that neutrality of the article is disputed. I am not looking for you to necessarily support my arguments. Just that Fowler seems to be receptive to your arguments and hence your views regarding neutrality of British Raj article would be helpful as an experienced editor.

hi - wanted you to know that user DWhiskaZ (whom you helped block) is at it again (edit wars, and his obsession with linking Mohammad to the Bhavisya Purana) this time as user "Padan" Padan ( talk · contribs). Can you help block him once again? I dont know how. I reported him to wp:aiav last night, but I dont know what it takes to have some action taken. This user by now has a long track record see here for instance of vandalism and sockpuppetry and there must be some way to make a more permanent ban? Thanks. I'm also leaving a note with Thatcher who helped with this user before. -jak68 P.S. Paul Barrow is currently investigating User Padan for additional sockpuppetry, here Thanks.

Thankyou for your concerns on the List. I have finished uploading 3 Images. I'll upload the rest shortly. Incase, you find some Maps, Images of Governors, feel free to put in the article. I think that may be Over-mapping. A big thankyou again for taking your time to find the Images on the Web. Regarding the 1832 Map, although it is a CC-by-NC license, still I think it has to be in the PD Kensplanet Talk Contributions 07:19, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that you've made several edits to the article and made a brief statement on the issue of renaming. I was wondering, on the renaming issue, if you had looked through the various arguments for and against and if you have any further opinion? Jbarta ( talk) 02:32, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
I understand why changes to the question shouldn't be made, but why would adding the link to the archived discussion as I did be improper?

Hello Abecedare. I noticed you have compiled some data about a certain sock issue. The guy you are tracking seems to operate from 136.159.*.*, which is associated with a Canadian university. Could you take a look at a recent report on the WP:AN3 noticeboard? It is currently at this link. This is somebody who wars on Indian religious topics, but has a 70.72.*.* IP, i.e. he is from the same city but not at the university. If we could get an exact match, then a longer block could be justified, There is some risk of mixing up nationalists who happen to think alike. Thanks for any advice you can provide.

Hello,
I see you posted a complaint about my contributions on my talk page.
Just a personal question:
If there is a cure for cancer, don't you think people should have a honest chance to read about it? Numerous references have been supplied. Whole articles have been deleted. I thought the idea of Wikipedia was to have both sides of the story side by side. Of course the medical establishment gets the final word on everything but to prefer quackwatch over medical research makes my stomach turn over. I'm not going to edit wikipedia anymore, I just wanted to hear what you think about helping to kill people like this.
Look how corporate cancer is killing the wiki? There is more but lets leave it to this. I'm all done editing with so much wp:own going on.
I'm just currious, how do you feel doing this? People do die you know? 84.104.135.86 ( talk) 15:51, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi, You had earlier deleted several copyvio images uploaded by Light48 ( talk · contribs · logs · block log) and blocked the user for 48 hours. I think the user is back as sock Solar20 ( talk · contribs · logs · block log) and has resumed repeating same form of edits and uploading. See for example File:Skyline of Shimla City.jpg versus deleted image File:Shimla City.jpg, which are copied from [4]. Let me know if you prefer that I report this to checkuser or ANI instead.
