Hi. When you recently edited Buddha-nature, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ten Worlds ( 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.

I am enjoying reading your talk page contributions and see that you have a lot to offer the Wikipedia project. Your contributions would be easier to understand if you used standard Wiki mark up to format and lay out your talk page posts. You can read about talk page edits at WP:Talk page and you'll find concise instructions at Help:Using talk pages. You also might want to check out the list formatting tips at Help:List. I think an hour or two studying the basics and learning where to find information on various layout tasks will pay off in your ability to clearly communicate both on talk pages and in articles. Thanks. Joja lozzo 02:40, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
Okay this is becoming absurd and since there seems to be no real willingness to cooperate I shall forward this whole issue to the Administrators' noticeboard. .User John Carter has already hinted to what this could lead to. Its more than obvious that its the facts that some do find uncomfortable --- references can always be found/corrected. If in the long run you are doing a favour to the organisation you seem to represent? One has to wait and see. -- Catflap08 ( talk) 16:44, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
First, I think it is time that you are unequivocally informed that whether or not wikipedia has a moral responsibility, you as an individual are supposed to adhere to the behavior guidelines of wikipeidia. These include WP:TPG and, given some of your recent edits to Talk:Sōka Gakkai where you made comments which did nothing to improve the article but simply impugned other editors, also WP:NPA. I very strongly suggest that you read both pages thoroughly. It is possible that the comments you pointed out did not really belong on the article talk page. However, your own efforts to go out of your way and use the article talk page to impugn other editors is definitely crossing the line of WP:NPA. You should realize that editing is not a right, but a privelege. It can be, and often, unfortunately, is, abridged when editors use the article talk page for comments which have no purpose other than to apparently defame and insult others. One could reasonably say that your own gratuitous insults of others on that page very clearly cross that line. Please refrain from engaging in such behavior in the future.
If you believe that the actions of other editors rise to the level of requiring action, then you are free to bring them to the attention of others at one of the noticeboards. Otherwise, please make more of an effort to ensure that your own behavior adheres to conduct guidelines. Should they fail to do so, you may find your own ability to edit impacted. If you are so strongly concerned about your perception of a "moral obligation" to present a subject in conformity with your own POV, then I believe the best place to raise such questions is on a noticeboard. However, such comments do not actually belong on the article talk page, as they deal with broader issues than just the article. However, you might also want to read WP:Boomerang before you do so.

Hi.
I hope this edit helps get things on track.
If you don't like my re-structuring it that way, please feel free to revert me.

The subject in the text was about Toda's publications - and the two quotes were exactly about that subject, precise and clear. The problem emerged not from the contents of the quotes - but from rejection of including other views, quotes or sources into the text.
I'd like to make a suggestion to you; take it or leave it;
forget everything that has happened up until now
...and treat each thing as one "suggestion". One thing - to add something, or delete something, or change something.
That way, we can talk about a specific sentence, and discuss it.
If consensus says "yes", we can add it. (And if someone removes it, you can 'revert' per the consensus').
If there's a disagreement, that can be sorted out - and, one way or the other, we'll decide if that sentence should be added or not.
It's not super-fast, but it works. And even though it might seem slow, it's quicker than years of trench warfare.
Give it a try. Let's sort out just this one suggestion - the 2 quotes. Forget the reasons why we're discussing it; let's just say, someone wants to make some change, and we can discuss it, and reach consensus.
It might seem like slow progress, but hey... it's progress. Do you understand what I mean? 88.104.27.2 ( talk) 00:22, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I'm
BracketBot. I have automatically detected that
your edit to
Nichiren may have broken the

edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on
my operator's talk page.
