Scholarship

Scholarship means peer review. Hope that clears things up. JFD 13:13, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Vedas. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Thank you. Buddhipriya 00:50, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to blank out (or delete portions of) page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to Vedas, you will be blocked from editing. Example of removal of sourced content: [1]. Buddhipriya 01:25, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

June 2007

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Vedas. Doing so violates Wikipedia's Wikipedia:verifiability policy. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Please see wikipedia polices on Original Research, Reliable Sources, Neutral Point of view and Fringe viewpoints. Abecedare 05:33, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Also please note that your edit summary here reflects a very poor understanding of what wikipedia is and what it is not. I recommend that you read the policy and guideline pages linked above in order to avoid similar errors in the future. Abecedare 06:20, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Bharadwaj. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Copyrighted material on Bharadwaj

The easiest way to establish that we have permission to reproduce material from the website onto wikipedia is to ass the author(s) to replace the copyright notice at the bottom of the page with GFDL license, that will allow the material to be copied and modified by anyone (including commercially). You can read more about the rules at Wikipedia:Copyrights. Note that even after permission is granted, it is not ok to copy the material without acknowledgment. Abecedare 21:56, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

A couple of other tips:

• Please place new comments at the bottom of a talk page rather than the top, else they are likely to be overlooked. Similarly place your responses to existing comments at the bottom of the thread.
• Please sign you talk page comments by using ~~~~ at the end of your message. Don't use links to wikipedia mainspace pages (such as Hulagu) in place of your signature.

Caps

Please don't type in all capital letters. It's the same as shouting, and is considered rude. Corvus cornix 22:27, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip. Hulagu 22:39, 26 June 2007 (UTC)HulaguHulagu 22:39, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Please consolidate discussion

Hi Hulagu, Since you have the exact same objection to so many Hinduism scriptures related pages, I recommend that you consolidate the discussion at Hinduism Notice Board where all interested editors can participate, instead of cut-n-pasting the same post on potentially hundreds (or even thousands!) of related pages ([2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16]). Let me know if you need any help in making the transition. Thanks. Abecedare 22:48, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I must warn you that your behaviour is disruptive. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with basic Wikipedia policy. If you persist in your indiscriminate mass-tagging, you may be blocked from editing as a measure to save constructive editors the time wasted by this. dab (𒁳) 22:56, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I am just adding to the edits my discussion post done by JFD. Just one more page and I am done. All this is not my cup of tea - I am just disgusted by all this blatant bias in the name of scholarship and presented as such to the lay person looking for information on Wikipedia. I am entirely unaffiliated by any religious or political organization. Hulagu 23:00, 26 June 2007 (UTC)Hulagu

well, Wikipedia can do no better than academia. What you neglect to state in your "Quran comparison" is that the intro to Rigveda has: "It is counted among the four Hindu canonical sacred texts (shruti) known as the Vedas", that is, we have an entire article on the concept of shruti, and we state up front that the Rigved is counted as shruti. If you feel the intro needs a brief description of what shruti implies, you are free to make a suggestion, but you will understand that we cannot reproduce the entire content of shruti in every such intro. Posting lengthy rants on talkpages, on the other hand, will achieve nothing at all. You need to argue point-by-point, such as "I propose the following brief addition to the Rigveda lead: [...]". Nobody is trying to hush up the central position of the Vedas in Hinduism (but the comparison with the Quran is fundamentally flawed).dab (𒁳) 23:11, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh really? How is the comparison to the pages on the Koran "fundamentally flawed"? Hulagu 18:37, 27 June 2007 (UTC)Hulagu
