Re: BAd Faith Assumptions

Dear HKelkar, first of all thanks for pointing me to the WP:AGF and WP:Civility. I will keep them in mind. But please note that the article in question, has no reference to caste based struggle as discussed on Talk:Indian_caste_system#.22Woman_raped_on_Train_by_Dalits. I suggest keeping in mind the facts we should try to remove the misinterpretation of facts. ਅਜੈ ਪਾਲ ਸਿੰਘ ਅਟਵਾਲ 17:49, 26 November 2006 (UTC) reply

Dear Hkelkar as per the article the crime has indeed been committed by dalit party activists, but where is the point of caste based struggle in it, see the news paper report [ [1]]. Didn't we discuss all this on talk page of the article in question. The article already has many short comings, why induce another. Thanks and looking for your kind cooperation ਅਜੈ ਪਾਲ ਸਿੰਘ ਅਟਵਾਲ 18:04, 26 November 2006 (UTC) reply
Dear HKelkar, thanks for pointing me to Burakumin, I agree there should be no whitewashing under any circumstances to present a rosy picture. But the caste based angle in the article in question is more of criminal nature; and the power, the criminals in them, assert is that they are part of a political entity, maybe governed by people in power, who need their muscles during elections and for gathering crowds, and in return will save the criminals from the law of the land. Then by this yard stick all and any crimes committed by any one belonging to any caste, political party for whatever reason would merit a mention in the article. Just because the world caste/ ambedkar/ dalit appears in the news should not merit its mention, as I still cant see any relation to caste struggle here. ਅਜੈ ਪਾਲ ਸਿੰਘ ਅਟਵਾਲ 18:33, 26 November 2006 (UTC) reply
If a balanced view is required, then why not put up something that is actually related to article and has some element of caste struggle. What about this in a balanced manner [ [2]] in place of what is already there. I request you to present some mention of real caste struggle and not crimes by (substitute your favorite word here dalit/ brahmin/ upper caste etc). Cheers ਅਜੈ ਪਾਲ ਸਿੰਘ ਅਟਵਾਲ 19:08, 26 November 2006 (UTC) reply
And what about removing the section in question. ਅਜੈ ਪਾਲ ਸਿੰਘ ਅਟਵਾਲ 19:17, 26 November 2006 (UTC) reply

Thanks HKelkar.

Thanks HKelkar, I am short of words to describe the wrongs. There are some websites which allege that Hindu religion has it's roots in christainity. This is sufficiently irritating. Some anonymous editer included these (external) website links in the article. Which I removed. The same found place on talk page, seeking permission for inclusion in article by the anonymous editor. I removed these links, as through subversive means, the links were placed for viewing who view the article. The discussion for inclusion was clearly opposed by all. I removed the links from talk page. There was no objection from anyone. After some days Abecedare restored the links. I remove them, he reverts and give me a 3RR notice. Then, he goes for admin community views. I fail to express and object to the subversive way. I fail to understand the intention of Abecedare. Should the Wikipedia policy conveniently interpreted and used for nefarious activities?

New Rock Star

Hi Hkelkar, I saw the article and the latest edits. We must try to constructively discuss the changes and work on improving the article. Currently, it looks in a mess. The section on Hindutva views and Dalit views is unreferenced and POV. Do all Dalits have the same view. And whose view is it actually. I think, we need a cited historical scholarly view.

Anyway, we'll talk more on that. I have repaired the e-mail link. It's working now. Mail me. Bye for now. Keep rockin' -- N R S | T/ M\ B 07:06, 28 November 2006 (UTC) reply

It's probably best if the only editing you do is within your user-space, at least until December 19th. Just create sub-pages if you want, to work on additions to articles.

Apology

Hkelkar, I'm very sorry I accused you of Wikistalking. It was poor judgement, a poor reading of Wikipedia policy, and in very bad faith.

I also apologise for the initial comments I made. I assumed you were doing a complete hatchet job, I barely read the articles in question, and I misread them in my haste and uncalled-for anger to boot.

Furthermore, I attempted to pit you and Ambroodey against your fellow editors. This was not only incredibly disruptive, but trollish on every level. I tried to use a painful topic for my own purposes and forced you to defend yourself.

In reality, I have never treated you correctly. I should have responded to your second post to me as a good faith attempt to work with me. I didn't discuss the article with you, and try to work out any differences we had.

I did these things out of my arrogance and ignorance of Wikipedia policy and guidelines. What I did last night, however, is simply indefensible and wrong on a basic human level.

Again, I humbly apolgise, and I sincerely pray for your happiness, if not forgiveness.

Buddhism in modern India

India Buddhist revival/Dalit Buddhist Movement/Buddhist Revival in India has been moved to Buddhism in modern India. utcursch | talk 15:11, 6 December 2006 (UTC) reply

As you might be aware that Pkulkarni ( talk · contribs) and his/her socks have been blocked (see Talk:Dalit Buddhist movement). User:Pkulkarni (with his sock accounts) was the only person opposed to an article with the title Dalit Buddhist movement or Ambedkarite Buddhism. Other involved parties such as User:Hkelkar, User:AMbroodEY, Nat Krause [5], and NinaEliza [6] support for separate article about Dalit Buddhist movement. So, I've moved the article to Dalit Buddhist movement. The content about non-Ambedkarite Buddhism has been removed and addded to Buddhism in India [7]. Sorry for all the confusion. I hope I'm finally fixing this. Thanks. utcursch | talk 15:37, 7 December 2006 (UTC) reply

Personal attacks and disruptive comments only escalate a situation; please keep calm and remember that action can be taken against other parties if necessary. Attacking another user back can only satisfy trolls or anger contributors and leads to general bad feeling. Please try to remain civil with your comments. Thanks!

It's good to know you've been warned of personal attacks before.I just informed the administrator of the xenophobia you've been promoting on the discussion page,along with personal attacks,racist comments etc.I couldn't help but noticing you and D-Boy concspiring against another Pakistani usser.I also find it curious that you and your freinds happen to post approximately around the same time when grouping against me and other Pakistani wikipedians.Is it possible that you collaborate on the phone or on MSN before posting on talk pages along with luanching personal attacks,stereotypes etc?

Intersting how you and your pals almost tricked me into getting myself blocked.Better luck next time.I warn you from trying similar tricks again in the future.Also dont threaten user:Saddiqui or other users by pulling them into edit wars and then trying to portray them as the instigators.Most people have alot more common sense than you think.

Request reason:

It was hardly an incivil comment, and whom was it atatcking? It was an observation based on frustration of tendentious editors who get a free pass on wikipedia while sincere users who strive for accuracy get insulted, harassed, harangued and punished.

Decline reason:

It is uncivil to describe a fellow editor as "spreading baseless propaganda," and a violation of NPA to suggest one is suffering "delusions of religious supremacy" or displaying "narrow tribalist ethnocentrism". Declined -- Rockpocke t 02:41, 10 December 2006 (UTC) reply

Your message

I am shashis, and thank you for your message on my talk page. I am replying late as I am new to wikipedia and did not know that a page such as my talk page existed, I checked it today and found your message. I am still learning the ropes here, and time constraint does not permit me to learn quickly. It seems there are many here with agendas and who do not want correct information to be presented. I have had the first experience with this Ikon ... who seems more interested in making sure that correct information is not presented. He has been playing cat and mouse game with information. Anyway, he is partially responsible for my postings. Initially I had only a passing interest in Wikipedia but his rude comments, accusations, and games have made me stay. I don't like bullys. I like to present correct/unbiased information, as much as I can, although it is not possible many times. Happy learning!

China as an emerging superpower

Mamin is protecting that page from anything Anti-Chinese and seems to have a conflict of views on what a modern-day superpower should be like.

Anyway, I don't know how to place them in the article as it isn't a point against and some users wouldn't allow me to put such Anti-Chinese stuff as a note in the Factors in Favour section, thus spoiling China's unblemished face.

If I may comment, that article is from 1999. Seven years later after a growth of 10% each year and accession to the World Trade Organization, I think we see a very much different China altogether. Plus, back in 1999, there are not articles of "China as an emerging superpower", nowadays, you see a bunch of them. 128.101.105.79 01:23, 16 December 2006 (UTC) reply

Your ban

Is an appeal possible? Nobleeagle [TALK]  [C] 06:12, 10 December 2006 (UTC) reply

Something to think about. I wish there was some way you could contact me. Hkelkar 06:49, 10 December 2006 (UTC) reply
Please do not edit this talk page even for discussion of an appeal. You have been banned which means you are completely prohibited from editing Wikipedia for one year. The only reason for a blocked editor to edit his/her talk page is to request an unblock, which isn't permitted for banned users. If you wish to appeal, you may do so by emailing Jimbo Wales directly. Please refrain from editing this page henceforth otherwise it will be locked. Also note that each time you edit, you reset your ban timer to one year from that edit. You are not required to reply to this message. -- Srikeit 07:21, 10 December 2006 (UTC) reply

Its perfectly alright for a user to edit his/her page. If the ban/block doesn't stop them from, they very well may. Where does it say that a user may not edit a page that they have the right and ability to? It is his user page after all. You should also try for an appeal. You're not required to respond to this message, but do so if you see fit. Also, how is that enforcable? Darth Zantetsuken ( Grovel/Beg/Praise) 23:17, 1 May 2007 (UTC) reply

What about Siddiqui? Creates a bunch of socks for edit wars and all he gets is one year.Why am I the only one to get indefinate?

Decline reason:

An indef block doesn't mean we won't consider unblocking you after a year, it just means we're under no obligation to unblock you after a year. If you don't go sockpuppeting throughout the course of the next year, I'll likely be quite happy to unblock you. I intend to protect your talk page for a couple of days short of one year now.

Re: BAd Faith Assumptions

Dear HKelkar, first of all thanks for pointing me to the WP:AGF and WP:Civility. I will keep them in mind. But please note that the article in question, has no reference to caste based struggle as discussed on Talk:Indian_caste_system#.22Woman_raped_on_Train_by_Dalits. I suggest keeping in mind the facts we should try to remove the misinterpretation of facts. ਅਜੈ ਪਾਲ ਸਿੰਘ ਅਟਵਾਲ 17:49, 26 November 2006 (UTC) reply

Dear Hkelkar as per the article the crime has indeed been committed by dalit party activists, but where is the point of caste based struggle in it, see the news paper report [ [1]]. Didn't we discuss all this on talk page of the article in question. The article already has many short comings, why induce another. Thanks and looking for your kind cooperation ਅਜੈ ਪਾਲ ਸਿੰਘ ਅਟਵਾਲ 18:04, 26 November 2006 (UTC) reply
Dear HKelkar, thanks for pointing me to Burakumin, I agree there should be no whitewashing under any circumstances to present a rosy picture. But the caste based angle in the article in question is more of criminal nature; and the power, the criminals in them, assert is that they are part of a political entity, maybe governed by people in power, who need their muscles during elections and for gathering crowds, and in return will save the criminals from the law of the land. Then by this yard stick all and any crimes committed by any one belonging to any caste, political party for whatever reason would merit a mention in the article. Just because the world caste/ ambedkar/ dalit appears in the news should not merit its mention, as I still cant see any relation to caste struggle here. ਅਜੈ ਪਾਲ ਸਿੰਘ ਅਟਵਾਲ 18:33, 26 November 2006 (UTC) reply
If a balanced view is required, then why not put up something that is actually related to article and has some element of caste struggle. What about this in a balanced manner [ [2]] in place of what is already there. I request you to present some mention of real caste struggle and not crimes by (substitute your favorite word here dalit/ brahmin/ upper caste etc). Cheers ਅਜੈ ਪਾਲ ਸਿੰਘ ਅਟਵਾਲ 19:08, 26 November 2006 (UTC) reply
And what about removing the section in question. ਅਜੈ ਪਾਲ ਸਿੰਘ ਅਟਵਾਲ 19:17, 26 November 2006 (UTC) reply

Thanks HKelkar.

Thanks HKelkar, I am short of words to describe the wrongs. There are some websites which allege that Hindu religion has it's roots in christainity. This is sufficiently irritating. Some anonymous editer included these (external) website links in the article. Which I removed. The same found place on talk page, seeking permission for inclusion in article by the anonymous editor. I removed these links, as through subversive means, the links were placed for viewing who view the article. The discussion for inclusion was clearly opposed by all. I removed the links from talk page. There was no objection from anyone. After some days Abecedare restored the links. I remove them, he reverts and give me a 3RR notice. Then, he goes for admin community views. I fail to express and object to the subversive way. I fail to understand the intention of Abecedare. Should the Wikipedia policy conveniently interpreted and used for nefarious activities?

New Rock Star

Hi Hkelkar, I saw the article and the latest edits. We must try to constructively discuss the changes and work on improving the article. Currently, it looks in a mess. The section on Hindutva views and Dalit views is unreferenced and POV. Do all Dalits have the same view. And whose view is it actually. I think, we need a cited historical scholarly view.

Anyway, we'll talk more on that. I have repaired the e-mail link. It's working now. Mail me. Bye for now. Keep rockin' -- N R S | T/ M\ B 07:06, 28 November 2006 (UTC) reply

Apology

Hkelkar, I'm very sorry I accused you of Wikistalking. It was poor judgement, a poor reading of Wikipedia policy, and in very bad faith.

I also apologise for the initial comments I made. I assumed you were doing a complete hatchet job, I barely read the articles in question, and I misread them in my haste and uncalled-for anger to boot.

Furthermore, I attempted to pit you and Ambroodey against your fellow editors. This was not only incredibly disruptive, but trollish on every level. I tried to use a painful topic for my own purposes and forced you to defend yourself.

In reality, I have never treated you correctly. I should have responded to your second post to me as a good faith attempt to work with me. I didn't discuss the article with you, and try to work out any differences we had.

I did these things out of my arrogance and ignorance of Wikipedia policy and guidelines. What I did last night, however, is simply indefensible and wrong on a basic human level.

Again, I humbly apolgise, and I sincerely pray for your happiness, if not forgiveness.

Buddhism in modern India

India Buddhist revival/Dalit Buddhist Movement/Buddhist Revival in India has been moved to Buddhism in modern India. utcursch | talk 15:11, 6 December 2006 (UTC) reply

As you might be aware that Pkulkarni ( talk · contribs) and his/her socks have been blocked (see Talk:Dalit Buddhist movement). User:Pkulkarni (with his sock accounts) was the only person opposed to an article with the title Dalit Buddhist movement or Ambedkarite Buddhism. Other involved parties such as User:Hkelkar, User:AMbroodEY, Nat Krause [5], and NinaEliza [6] support for separate article about Dalit Buddhist movement. So, I've moved the article to Dalit Buddhist movement. The content about non-Ambedkarite Buddhism has been removed and addded to Buddhism in India [7]. Sorry for all the confusion. I hope I'm finally fixing this. Thanks. utcursch | talk 15:37, 7 December 2006 (UTC) reply

However, the book is real, published by an accredited source and the author is an accredited scholar ( Gurbachan Singh Talib) and the book is verified by a google books link. Therefore, I changed the citation accordingly (it's the same book, just from a more reliable source). See these diffs [15] [16] Thanks. Hkelkar 03:32, 7 December 2006 (UTC) reply

Since you commented on the Hinduism barnstar proposal I recommend you looking at the new designs introduced by User:Priyanath. Thank you. Gizza Chat © 22:27, 7 December 2006 (UTC) reply

Taking leeways when it suits

[ http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=2002_Gujarat_violence&diff=prev&oldid=92839450 Your recent edit are based on two editorial opinion articles - which you dont mention in the article while you vociferously fight for clarification of comments attributed to Guardian UK as opinion-editorial - Is that not double standards and raking WP policies when it suits your position and ignoring them when others are not looking.

Nice job

You got all of us banned for one year. BhaiSaab talk 00:40, 9 December 2006 (UTC) reply

This matter is no longer in our hands. There is no time. BhaiSaab talk 00:50, 9 December 2006 (UTC) reply
You're right. I did say that I was willing to go down with you, and although I am still willing, I never expected it to happen. I wonder if you will ever confess to being the same person. BhaiSaab talk 00:57, 9 December 2006 (UTC) reply

Thanks

For you addition to the Dalit Buddhist Movement article. I wish you the best and continue to pray. I'll be around. Sincerely, NinaEliza 04:58, 9 December 2006 (UTC) reply

Addendum: After seeing a few recent bits of edits and discussion, I currently have much more faith in you coming back and being a great editor and community member than I do in BhaiSaab. NinaEliza 05:07, 9 December 2006 (UTC) reply

No Personal Attacks

In case you haven't been warned already, per the evidence at WP:ANI#Xenophobia... <Discussion has been archived at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive155#Xenophobia>

Please stop. If you continue to make personal attacks on other people, you will be blocked for disruption. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Thank you. -- tariqabjotu 05:34, 9 December 2006 (UTC) reply

Your Comments at WP:AN/I

  • It is important to keep a cool head, especially when responding to comments against you or your edits. Personal attacks and disruptive comments only escalate a situation; please keep calm and remember that action can be taken against other parties if necessary. Attacking another user back can only satisfy trolls or anger contributors and leads to general bad feeling. Please try to remain civil with your comments. Thanks! Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. -- Chabuk T •  C ] 05:40, 9 December 2006 (UTC) reply
  • I noticed most of you've pointed out. Unfortunately, I'm not an administrator, so my warnings and advice are just that, advice. That being said, you received the warning simply because you reacted harshly to his provocation. As someone who has been in your situation before, I strongly recommend that you either ignore him completely or if absolutely necessary, open a Request for Comment/User. -- Chabuk T •  C ] 06:48, 9 December 2006 (UTC) reply

Warning

It's good to know you've been warned of personal attacks before.I just informed the administrator of the xenophobia you've been promoting on the discussion page,along with personal attacks,racist comments etc.I couldn't help but noticing you and D-Boy concspiring against another Pakistani usser.I also find it curious that you and your freinds happen to post approximately around the same time when grouping against me and other Pakistani wikipedians.Is it possible that you collaborate on the phone or on MSN before posting on talk pages along with luanching personal attacks,stereotypes etc?

Intersting how you and your pals almost tricked me into getting myself blocked.Better luck next time.I warn you from trying similar tricks again in the future.Also dont threaten user:Saddiqui or other users by pulling them into edit wars and then trying to portray them as the instigators.Most people have alot more common sense than you think. Nadirali 05:44, 9 December 2006

Yes because wikipedia is our life and we take the time and money to call each other (and all our "Hindutva POV-pushing friends" who are really strangers working on the 'pedia) long distance across the pacific ocean, rocky mountains, mississippi river just to deal with a few trolls. Baka man 21:59, 9 December 2006 (UTC) reply

FYI, Nadirali continues to make incivil and derogatory comments in the talk page [17]. Why does he keep trolling it despite your advice to the contrary? Hkelkar 00:13, 10 December 2006 (UTC) reply

I have no idea. -- tariqabjotu 00:30, 10 December 2006 (UTC) reply

Speaking of Pots Calling Kettles Black

Since we're on the subject... it looks quite silly for you to be repeatedly updating me of Nadirali ( talk · contribs)'s provocative statements, while proceeding to make comments like these. Please, cut it out, as I'm sure you're familiar with Wikipedia's civility policy. -- tariqabjotu 01:51, 10 December 2006 (UTC) reply


It was not prudent to follow my warning regarding incivility and personal attacks, with this comment on my talk page. You have certainly received sufficient warnings to warrant a block. I'll even post to WP:ANI for confirmation. -- tariqabjotu 02:11, 10 December 2006 (UTC) reply

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Hkelkar ( block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser ( log))


Request reason:

It was hardly an incivil comment, and whom was it atatcking? It was an observation based on frustration of tendentious editors who get a free pass on wikipedia while sincere users who strive for accuracy get insulted, harassed, harangued and punished.

Decline reason:

It is uncivil to describe a fellow editor as "spreading baseless propaganda," and a violation of NPA to suggest one is suffering "delusions of religious supremacy" or displaying "narrow tribalist ethnocentrism". Declined -- Rockpocke t 02:41, 10 December 2006 (UTC) reply

You got yourself blocked just before both us will get a year-long block. C'mon yaar. BhaiSaab talk 03:02, 10 December 2006 (UTC) reply

Your message

I am shashis, and thank you for your message on my talk page. I am replying late as I am new to wikipedia and did not know that a page such as my talk page existed, I checked it today and found your message. I am still learning the ropes here, and time constraint does not permit me to learn quickly. It seems there are many here with agendas and who do not want correct information to be presented. I have had the first experience with this Ikon ... who seems more interested in making sure that correct information is not presented. He has been playing cat and mouse game with information. Anyway, he is partially responsible for my postings. Initially I had only a passing interest in Wikipedia but his rude comments, accusations, and games have made me stay. I don't like bullys. I like to present correct/unbiased information, as much as I can, although it is not possible many times. Happy learning!

China as an emerging superpower

Mamin is protecting that page from anything Anti-Chinese and seems to have a conflict of views on what a modern-day superpower should be like. He could be a good user though in the future, I simply urge you to place the page on your watchlist. I also found this, it is a logical point, can we trust the figures? Anyway, I don't know how to place them in the article as it isn't a point against and some users wouldn't allow me to put such Anti-Chinese stuff as a note in the Factors in Favour section, thus spoiling China's unblemished face.

If I may comment, that article is from 1999. Seven years later after a growth of 10% each year and accession to the World Trade Organization, I think we see a very much different China altogether. Plus, back in 1999, there are not articles of "China as an emerging superpower", nowadays, you see a bunch of them. 128.101.105.79 01:23, 16 December 2006 (UTC) reply

Your ban

Is an appeal possible? Nobleeagle [TALK]  [C] 06:12, 10 December 2006 (UTC) reply

Something to think about. I wish there was some way you could contact me. Hkelkar 06:49, 10 December 2006 (UTC) reply
Please do not edit this talk page even for discussion of an appeal. You have been banned which means you are completely prohibited from editing Wikipedia for one year. The only reason for a blocked editor to edit his/her talk page is to request an unblock, which isn't permitted for banned users. If you wish to appeal, you may do so by emailing Jimbo Wales directly. Please refrain from editing this page henceforth otherwise it will be locked. Also note that each time you edit, you reset your ban timer to one year from that edit. You are not required to reply to this message. -- Srikeit 07:21, 10 December 2006 (UTC) reply
This totally sucks. Well, at least bhaisaab got banned as well.-- D-Boy 07:35, 10 December 2006 (UTC) reply
Hkelkar, just learnt about your ban. This is really sad. -- N R S | T/ M\ B 06:05, 11 December 2006 (UTC) reply
Its perfectly alright for a user to edit his/her page. If the ban/block doesn't stop them from, they very well may. Where does it say that a user may not edit a page that they have the right and ability to? It is his user page after all. You should also try for an appeal. You're not required to respond to this message, but do so if you see fit. Also, how is that enforcable? Darth Zantetsuken ( Grovel/Beg/Praise) 23:17, 1 May 2007 (UTC) reply

Request reason:

What about Siddiqui? Creates a bunch of socks for edit wars and all he gets is one year.Why am I the only one to get indefinate?

Decline reason:

An indef block doesn't mean we won't consider unblocking you after a year, it just means we're under no obligation to unblock you after a year. If you don't go sockpuppeting throughout the course of the next year, I'll likely be quite happy to unblock you. I intend to protect your talk page for a couple of days short of one year now.
