I would like to know why the article was rejected. I only used secondary sources and followed the outline and tone of Eckharte Tolle and Osho entries. Can you be more specific or show me where I can make changes that would make it acceptable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Planktonium ( talk • contribs) 21:57, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Upon closely reviewing your article once more, I have a few comments/suggestions.
So perhaps what I'm getting at is clean up the references a tad, less praise and more balanced criticism, and you'll be all set. Good luck. Icy // ♫ 02:42, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited John de Ruiter, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Awakening ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find
Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the
sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a
vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you.

Please do not label edits that violate the policy on biographies of living persons as vandalism. The allegation of vandalism, in a content dispute, can be considered a personal attack. On the one hand, the edits were contrary to policy. On the other hand, the edits do not appear to be vandalism, just improper edits. Also, please discuss content disputes on the article talk page. No one has said anything at Talk:John de Ruiter. Robert McClenon ( talk) 22:24, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.
