Hi,
Thank you for voting in the India Demographics Image Vote. I have counted the results of the vote and displayed them here. The top 8 images with the most votes were displayed.
Unfortunately, User:Fowler&fowler believes that he should be the one that gets to pick the final images, despite the fact that all of us have voted. He has called me disruptive, and when I tried to explain myself, he has reverted my explanation on the talk page twice!!! How can a user just delete someone else's comments on the Talk page?
Wikipedia consensus says that the images that most people have agreed upon should be the ones in the rotation. One user can't just pick his own images when all of us have voted. I am not sure what to do.
Please post your opinion here. Thanks. Nikkul ( talk) 02:51, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi Redtigerxyz, I saw the IP edit in Avatar before you reverted it. I did not revert because I am not sure if the part about Docetism is correct here. There is a citation of course, but the association of the term seems to me to be the opinion of E.G. Parrinder. I have never seen it mentioned in Hinduism that Krishna or Rama were pure spirits and not real persons in the flesh. The way it is writen, I think it is pushing this opinion as fact, or even confusing. Hoverfish Talk 08:55, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
The "according to" makes it somewhat better. Still I find it misleading that in the section "Etymology and meaning" this association to Docetism is made, because that article makes it most central that the avatar is incorporeal, pure spirit, and the text given here seems to suggest exactly this: as different from the idea of God 'in the flesh'. This does correspond to p.111 of the book, which contains the only mention of Docetism I can locate. I feel this is more relevant to "Incarnation: similar conceptions in other religions", which BTW has been placed in the See Also section. Hoverfish Talk 11:33, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi,
While i was working on the changes you sugggested for Madurai, Srirangam and Tiruvannamalai, I have added this page - Iconography of Shiva temples in Tamil Nadu. Can you please let me know if this can be promoted to GA. Also considering there are atleast a 10,000 siva temples maintained by TN govt ( http://www.tn.gov.in/policynotes/pdf/HR_and_CE.pdf]]) and atleast another 20k shiva temples in TN, the importance in Hinduism should be high?

I find it strange why the article's nomination automatically failed. Wikipedia is not a fansite. There's no need to add section of about all his abilties or personality traits, or it will be wp:fancruft, leading to unencyclopedic sections. Part II is actually from the same manga, while anime appearances are actually the same as the manga. The model this article uses is GA Lara Croft which does not focus on unnecessary plot details.

Hello Redtiger, I have a query: In two of the articles you contributed to , Khandoba and Vithoba, it is either explicitly stated or inferred that both these deities have non-brahminical sects / cults worshipping them. To my knowledge, brahmins also worship these Gods. My question to you is what is a brahminical sect or who do the brahmins , say of Maharashtra, worship? I appreciate your help. Regards Jonathansammy ( talk) 16:44, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your speedy response. Yes, I understand that Yajna, reciting of Mantra is the traditional brahminical worship. However, in contemporary Hinduism, are there strict boundaries between practices of brahmins and non-brahmins. For example, most Hindus of all castes from Western and Northern India that I know of periodically conduct the Satyanarayan puja, have a shrine in their house, visit temples just for darshan and some brahmins join the annual varkari procession from Alandi to Pandharpur. Since you have such a long experience of contributing to articles on Hinduism, may I request you to start a new article on contemporary Hinduism that will cover all the changes to the religion as practiced in recent decades. Thanks. Jonathansammy ( talk) 18:05, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Redtigerxyz,
This is a notice to all users who currently have at least one open peer review at Wikipedia:Peer review. Because of the large number of peer review requests and relatively low number of reviewers, the backlog of PRs has been at 20 or more almost continually for several months. The backlog is for PR requests which have gone at least four days without comments, and some of these have gone two weeks or longer waiting for a review.
While we have been able to eventually review all PRs that remain on the backlog, something had to change. As a result of the discussion here, the consensus was that all users are now limited to one (1) open peer review request.
If you already have more than one open PR, that is OK in this transition period, but you cannot open any more until all your active PR requests have been closed. If you would like someone to close a PR for you, please ask at Wikipedia talk:Peer review. If you want to help with the backlog, please review an article whoe PR request is listed at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog/items. Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:20, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

I recently created the article Millennium Park Bus Depot; could you take a look at it and give it a quality-importance rating under WP:INDIA in its talk page? I nominated it for a DYK, and I think it passed too. Now, I aim for a GA (again :D) though it'll be tough. I just wanted your help regarding images; I'm still not familiar with image copyrights and all that, so I was hoping whether you could dig up some freely usable photos of the depot which can be used in the article's infobox. I'd be much obliged if you could. Advance thanks! Btw, what are you working on nowadays? I've moved on to films, and I'm immersed in a ton of film articles :D.

Thanks for the tweaks that you are currently doing. Things are getting a bit screwed up by the contributions of Ror Is King, who is not demonstrating much willingness to collaborate over them. I have discussed this off-wiki with an admin, who has also added to my requests for co-operation at User talk:Ror Is King. Unless something happens very soon, I will be reverting their edits and explaining my reasoning on the article talk page - basically, it is a problem of validation and a bit of concern regarding cherry-picking. It may turn out that I am wrong but the message will explain (it is already drafted and ready to go - I am just giving RIK a bit of time to self-revert). What was quite a smooth process is getting messy because of one relatively inexperienced contributor.

Hi Redtigerxyz, I did some few changes in Mahavishnu as many terms were used unexplained and unlinked and the wording was unclear, so following the link to Brahman I notice that the lead describes him as the one supreme "universal Spirit". In western usage "spirit" conveys a very different meaning as what I understand Brahman should be, but I didn't correct it as I am not sure if Soul or Being or what word is best. Can you please either change it or let me know how the word "spirit" applies to Brahma in Hindu philosophy? Thank you. Hoverfish Talk 11:30, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure where to put this, which is why it ended up here. I'm sure you know how to fix it. I added a temple I was aware of, to the Vitobha article and a link to the temple. And according to records you deleted my updated within 90 seconds. Which means you didn't even bother to look at what it was.

Hi. When you recently edited Bhagavad Gita, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Atman ( 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.

Hi,
Thank you for voting in the India Demographics Image Vote. I have counted the results of the vote and displayed them here. The top 8 images with the most votes were displayed.
Unfortunately, User:Fowler&fowler believes that he should be the one that gets to pick the final images, despite the fact that all of us have voted. He has called me disruptive, and when I tried to explain myself, he has reverted my explanation on the talk page twice!!! How can a user just delete someone else's comments on the Talk page?
Wikipedia consensus says that the images that most people have agreed upon should be the ones in the rotation. One user can't just pick his own images when all of us have voted. I am not sure what to do.
Please post your opinion here. Thanks. Nikkul ( talk) 02:51, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi Redtigerxyz, I saw the IP edit in Avatar before you reverted it. I did not revert because I am not sure if the part about Docetism is correct here. There is a citation of course, but the association of the term seems to me to be the opinion of E.G. Parrinder. I have never seen it mentioned in Hinduism that Krishna or Rama were pure spirits and not real persons in the flesh. The way it is writen, I think it is pushing this opinion as fact, or even confusing. Hoverfish Talk 08:55, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
The "according to" makes it somewhat better. Still I find it misleading that in the section "Etymology and meaning" this association to Docetism is made, because that article makes it most central that the avatar is incorporeal, pure spirit, and the text given here seems to suggest exactly this: as different from the idea of God 'in the flesh'. This does correspond to p.111 of the book, which contains the only mention of Docetism I can locate. I feel this is more relevant to "Incarnation: similar conceptions in other religions", which BTW has been placed in the See Also section. Hoverfish Talk 11:33, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

I find it strange why the article's nomination automatically failed. Wikipedia is not a fansite. There's no need to add section of about all his abilties or personality traits, or it will be wp:fancruft, leading to unencyclopedic sections. Part II is actually from the same manga, while anime appearances are actually the same as the manga. The model this article uses is GA Lara Croft which does not focus on unnecessary plot details.

Hello Redtiger, I have a query: In two of the articles you contributed to , Khandoba and Vithoba, it is either explicitly stated or inferred that both these deities have non-brahminical sects / cults worshipping them. To my knowledge, brahmins also worship these Gods. My question to you is what is a brahminical sect or who do the brahmins , say of Maharashtra, worship? I appreciate your help. Regards Jonathansammy ( talk) 16:44, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your speedy response. Yes, I understand that Yajna, reciting of Mantra is the traditional brahminical worship. However, in contemporary Hinduism, are there strict boundaries between practices of brahmins and non-brahmins. For example, most Hindus of all castes from Western and Northern India that I know of periodically conduct the Satyanarayan puja, have a shrine in their house, visit temples just for darshan and some brahmins join the annual varkari procession from Alandi to Pandharpur. Since you have such a long experience of contributing to articles on Hinduism, may I request you to start a new article on contemporary Hinduism that will cover all the changes to the religion as practiced in recent decades. Thanks. Jonathansammy ( talk) 18:05, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Redtigerxyz,
This is a notice to all users who currently have at least one open peer review at Wikipedia:Peer review. Because of the large number of peer review requests and relatively low number of reviewers, the backlog of PRs has been at 20 or more almost continually for several months. The backlog is for PR requests which have gone at least four days without comments, and some of these have gone two weeks or longer waiting for a review.
While we have been able to eventually review all PRs that remain on the backlog, something had to change. As a result of the discussion here, the consensus was that all users are now limited to one (1) open peer review request.
If you already have more than one open PR, that is OK in this transition period, but you cannot open any more until all your active PR requests have been closed. If you would like someone to close a PR for you, please ask at Wikipedia talk:Peer review. If you want to help with the backlog, please review an article whoe PR request is listed at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog/items. Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:20, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Hey! Its been a long time. Remember 2003 Afro-Asian Games?
I recently created the article Millennium Park Bus Depot; could you take a look at it and give it a quality-importance rating under WP:INDIA in its talk page? I nominated it for a DYK, and I think it passed too. Now, I aim for a GA (again :D) though it'll be tough. I just wanted your help regarding images; I'm still not familiar with image copyrights and all that, so I was hoping whether you could dig up some freely usable photos of the depot which can be used in the article's infobox. I'd be much obliged if you could. Advance thanks! Btw, what are you working on nowadays? I've moved on to films, and I'm immersed in a ton of film articles :D.

Thanks for the tweaks that you are currently doing. Things are getting a bit screwed up by the contributions of Ror Is King, who is not demonstrating much willingness to collaborate over them. I have discussed this off-wiki with an admin, who has also added to my requests for co-operation at User talk:Ror Is King. Unless something happens very soon, I will be reverting their edits and explaining my reasoning on the article talk page - basically, it is a problem of validation and a bit of concern regarding cherry-picking. It may turn out that I am wrong but the message will explain (it is already drafted and ready to go - I am just giving RIK a bit of time to self-revert). What was quite a smooth process is getting messy because of one relatively inexperienced contributor. I have thought about pulling the nomination but various people think it would be wrong to do so. - Sitush ( talk) 18:09, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Redtigerxyz, I did some few changes in Mahavishnu as many terms were used unexplained and unlinked and the wording was unclear, so following the link to Brahman I notice that the lead describes him as the one supreme "universal Spirit". In western usage "spirit" conveys a very different meaning as what I understand Brahman should be, but I didn't correct it as I am not sure if Soul or Being or what word is best. Can you please either change it or let me know how the word "spirit" applies to Brahma in Hindu philosophy? Thank you. Hoverfish Talk 11:30, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
I realize now that the tone of my (either-or) request was not very proper. Sorry for this. Hoverfish Talk 01:17, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
I'm not sure where to put this, which is why it ended up here. I'm sure you know how to fix it. I added a temple I was aware of, to the Vitobha article and a link to the temple. And according to records you deleted my updated within 90 seconds. Which means you didn't even bother to look at what it was. Don't worry, I'll leave your precious article alone since you are apparently the master of all knowledge without even checking. This is why I don't waste my time with Wikipedia. It's knowledge base is severely biased. Thanks for supporting my continued disdain for this website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.226.182.51 ( talk) 20:14, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
Hey, the article on Shiva has seen a lot of edits by new editors of late. Can you verify that the article is still good enough? (I would have done so myself, but I don't think I have a good knowledge of Shaivism). Thanks, Lynch 7 10:17, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
If you have some time, you can have a look here. Is it a conclusion of any consensus that a Hare Krishna person(!) can not edit Gita article? -- Tito Dutta (Send me a message) 05:00, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Redtigerxyz, hope things are going well with you these days. I just thought I'd drop you a note to say that I just nominated an article you reviewed, Alexis Bachelot, at FAC. It has changed a bit since you did the Good article review back in December, so if you're interested/have time a review would be appreciated. Mark Arsten ( talk) 00:55, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
An article review drive has been [ suggested to reduce the backlog of 18,000+ unassessed articles tagged WP:India. An experienced reviewer is required to take on the role of volunteer coordinator to coordinate the drive. Im hoping you can take up this role - if your available, I will nominate you as coordinator.

Hi. When you recently edited Bhagavad Gita, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Atman ( 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.
