Shiva (List)

Hi @Skyerise I saw you changed my change to category back to the page - I also tried to see best way to show not just two countries before changing it to category since it included the pages. Wanted your thoughts on that. Asteramellus (talk) 13:25, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

@Asteramellus: typically, the links at the top of a section should be to articles, not categories. The differnece is, the lists tell where the temple is within the country by state and village. Categories can't do this, which makes them inferior for the purpose. You could put the category in the see also section, though. Or you could make List of Shiva temples and reference the two existing lists as sublists. Skyerise (talk) 21:37, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

@Skyerise that make perfect sense. I think will go with See Also. I think making a list page, and then referencing the two existing list pages would not be quite readable for wiki user. Thanks. Asteramellus (talk) 13:01, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

@Asteramellus: See List of Buddhist temples for an example. It's got multiple sublists. Skyerise (talk) 13:04, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

@Skyerise oh thanks so much. This is really very helpful. In general, I found Hinduism related list pages and categories quite unorganized and random. I can definitely use this sample to organize things, as time permits. Asteramellus (talk) 14:02, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

@Asteramellus: Yes, many of the Hinduism articles are a mess. Many Indian editors make rather poor edits, with incomplete sentences, bad grammar and capitalization, and no sources. Even worse are those who want to "correct" a cited article to represent the beliefs of only their particualar subsect, ignoring or removing cited information about the full range of beliefs. It's an uphill battle! Skyerise (talk) 14:17, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Oh yeah, then there's the long-term vandal whose only goal is to add himself to the list of Mahasiddhas! Skyerise (talk) 14:31, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Kitten!

Chaotic Enby has given you a kitten! Kittens promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Your kitten must be fed three times a day and will be your faithful companion forever! Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a kitten, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend.

Spread the goodness of kittens by adding {{subst:Kitten}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message, or kittynap their kitten with {{subst:Kittynap}}.

Giving a kitten to both you and Mychemicalromanceisrealemo so everything gets a bit more gentle, I know ANI can easily get pretty tense!

@Chaotic Enby: Thanks! I love kittens! Skyerise (talk) 17:31, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

template:rp question

Hi, I noticed your edit summary. I don't see any indication at template:rp that it has been deprecated, was that a recent discussion/rfc? Could you link to it? I don't use rp often but have on occasion so I'm curious. Schazjmd (talk) 14:06, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

@Schazjmd: I got this from a discussion at Talk:John Dee#Citation style?, where it was asserted that it falls under the deprecation of inline parenthetical citations made in 2022. "And it's better than "antique" ways of doing this like {{rp}} which is a form of (partial) inline parenthetical referencing, the entire class of which was deprecated in 2022 as too much confusing clutter for readers." See that talk page section (near the bottom) for details... Skyerise (talk) 20:21, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Witchcraft in North America

Hi. I just saw this. Which citation did it break? Mazewaxie (talk • contribs) 17:11, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

@Mazewaxie: Just select your version in the history and scroll down to the refs section: there is a big red error message. "Cite error: The named reference Kilpatrick was invoked but never defined". Skyerise (talk) 17:25, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Yaweh to God to Yaweh

Hey I saw you revert my edit, would you like to talk about why you did so before we make a talk page on the Revelation page. Kind Regards, NotAnotherNameGuy (talk) 23:33, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Also just noticed you undid the hulegu edit I did, that would be even more interesting to know why you did it. Kind Regards, NotAnotherNameGuy (talk) 23:48, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Same reason in both cases: I thought the article was better before. Strangely, neither paragraph is sourced. I don't see the point of making unsourced changes to unsourced material unless you provide a citation to show that you made it more rather than less right. Skyerise (talk) 11:28, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Civility in edit summaries

Please keep your edit summaries civil and focused on summarizing the change you are making. Regardless of whether you are right, adding something like idiots! to an edit summary falls short of our civility standards and the quip did not improve your edit. If you feel the need to say something like this or shout at people, it may be a good time to take a short break before continuing. Regards. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 07:17, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

@Daniel Quinlan: Yes indeed, didn't see this until just now as I had done exactly that. Skyerise (talk) 11:06, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Request

Greetings, I found you frequently editing on articles I have edited and was curious if you would mind to check out the article(s) Iblis and jinn. I am not sure about the second one, but I am confident that at least to Iblis article could pass a GA. However, I would like to have a second opinion before submitting it, because I realized it is sometimes hard to have a grounded opinion if you work on one article for too long. No preassure though VenusFeuerFalle (talk) 21:32, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Further reading

Hi again, thanks for your edits to The Master and His Emissary. You tagged the further reading section as being too long (maybe that's because McGilchrist's voluminous book is broad in scope). Having noted that George MacDonald#Further reading is even more extensive, since I'm pretty involved in editing the article, maybe I could leave it to you to prune the list as you see fit? Thanks, Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 16:23, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Illuminati

Saw your recent edit at our Illuminati article… where you removed the statement that OTO uses “Illuminati” in its degree/hierarchy structure, with an edit summary saying “this is untrue”. However, according to both our article on OTO, and the organization’s own webpage they do (it’s their VIII degree). Accordingly, I have reverted your edit. Discuss on the article talk page if you have further concerns. Blueboar (talk) 21:15, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Also saw your follow up edit… thanks, that’s fine. Blueboar (talk) 22:17, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Thesis

one of the articles you are removing is NOT a thesis, but a research paper by a known scholar:

I suggest to read articles before editing. Researcher1988 (talk) 13:48, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Your last RfD edit

I reverted this edit because it removed several comments by other editors. You probably want to reapply the change to your own comment. Nickps (talk) 17:31, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
