Luke,I see that you are working on the Guna article. This is great, I just put a banner on there asking for help with references. I see that you have added something from Maharishi. That is OK but it appears that you have quoted directly from his book. This is not permitted on Wiki unless the person is being "quoted" and then quotation marks are used. Generally we paraphrase info from sources unless there is a specific reason to quote the author. You can check WP:CS for more details. thanks -- Kbob ( talk) 01:10, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Luke, it seems your name is mispelled in your signature, is that intentional? If not check your 'preferences'. Also when you comment on a discussion page it is traditional that each new comment is indented by putting one more colon that the previous comment. If you look at the page you'll see what I mean.

especially when they're busy pushing the POV of their employers. We've got MUM employees, SIMS employees and others with direct finanical ties to the TM Org, busily editing the TM-related articles in between (and for all I know, during) bunny hopping sessions, repeating the same TM-Org talking points over and over and over again through 21 and counting archives in the TM article alone. These are not casual practitioners of TM. And anytime anyone who doesn't owe their livlihood to the Maharishi's vast financial empire tries to edit the article, including Administrators, they're the enemy, and pointing out that the editor is hopeless conflicted, and his or her arguments baseless is uncivil and a personal attack.

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The following is a summary of the remedies enacted:
- All editors who are party to this case are instructed to read the principles, to review their own past conduct in the light of them, and if necessary to modify their future conduct to ensure full compliance with them.
- Editors are reminded that when editing in controversial subject areas it is all the more important to comply with Wikipedia policies. In addition, editors who find it difficult to edit a particular article or topic from a neutral point of view and to adhere to other Wikipedia policies are counselled that they may sometimes need or wish to step away temporarily from that article or subject area, and to find other related but less controversial topics in which to edit.
- Any uninvolved administrator may, in his or her own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor editing Transcendental meditation or other articles concerning Transcendental meditation and related biographies of living people, broadly defined, if, after a warning, that editor repeatedly or seriously violates the behavioural standards or editorial processes of Wikipedia in connection with these articles.
- Uninvolved administrators are invited to monitor the articles in the area of conflict to enforce compliance by editors with, in particular, the principles outlined in this case. Enforcing administrators are instructed to focus on fresh and clear-cut matters arising after the closure of this case rather than on revisiting historical allegations.
- From time to time, the conduct of editors within the topic may be re-appraised by any member of the Arbitration Committee and, by motion of the Arbitration Committee, further remedies may be summarily applied to specific editors who have failed to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner.
- User:Fladrif is (i) strongly admonished for incivility, personal attacks, and assumptions of bad faith; and (ii) subject to an editing restriction for one year. Should he make any edits which are judged by an administrator to be uncivil, personal attacks, or assumptions of bad faith, he may be briefly blocked, up to a week in the event of repeated violations. After three blocks, the maximum block shall increase to one month.
- Should any user subject to a restriction or topic ban in this case violate that restriction or ban, that user may be blocked, initially for up to one month, and then with blocks increasing in duration to a maximum of one year, with the topic ban clock restarting at the end of the block.

In trying to get a sense of where editors stand on the TM article split merge situation It would help to have a definitve statement from each editor.

Hi, I am Bencmq and I am one of the scrutineers of the on-going 2011 Arbitration Committee Elections, and my duty is to ensure the validity of individual votes.
Vote log shows that you have casted your vote through the SecurePoll extension. However the system marked your entry as possible CSRF ( Cross-site request forgery), meaning that this entry may not be made by you, but forged by malicious script script instead.
Therefore I would like to confirm with you that you have voted in the 2011 ArbCom Elections at: 04:41, 30 November 2011 (UTC) via the SecurePoll extension interface.
If you did not vote at the above-mentioned time, please let me know immediately so I can strike out the entry. If you did, this entry will be kept. As whom you voted for is still confidential and I have no access to that information. :)

Hello there! I have written a chapter of my PhD on the Oral Citations Project ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Oral_Citations) and your username appears in the chapter as having discussed the article on RS/N. Please let me know if you would like me to send you a draft of the chapter before Wednesday 12 August for you to review it. Many thanks! hfordsa ( talk) 11:39, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,
