Variants of asanas edit

Hi, and thanks for your efforts to improve Wikipedia's coverage of asanas. However, the approach that has been taken on asanas is to provide articles for each major asana, such as Trikonasana, and to describe variants, such as Parivrtta Trikonasana, in a standard 'Variations' section within the main article. This ensures that the article topics are notable, where some variants are very minor and might risk deletion as non-notable if they had their own articles. Also, I note that another editor tagged Parivrtta Trikonasana as a close paraphrase of Yoga the Iyengar Way, meaning that they felt that the choice of wording was close to being a copyright violation, something that Wikipedia is obliged to take extremely seriously. In this case, the main article at Trikonasana already has a Variations section that covers Parivrtta Trikonasana, and indeed illustrates it with the same image that you used. I've therefore redirected it to the main article. Hope this is all clear and comprehensible. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:26, 24 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Talk:Mottainai edit

Hi! Sorry to bother you on your talk page, but would you mind reconsidering your !vote? A number of other experienced voices have chimed in since your initial !vote, and it seems likely that given your week-long absence from the project you may not have noticed them. There were also, as I am sure you are aware, two previous consensuses against including the content in question, and it seems unlikely that the community would be willing to accept a simple majority !vote as overruling such a precedent.

No, it would be a big mistake to not remove those tags. The point Yuriko Sato is making is indeed the scholarly consensus, and we should respect that, rather than quibble with it through inaccurate tagging. Krow750 (talk) 20:53, 16 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
The point Yuriko Sato is making is indeed the scholarly consensus Do you have evidence for that? It seems like all the scholarly sources disagree with her, while the sources that agree with her are all self-published or non-scholarly sources... BTW, it seems increasingly like you are doing this to push some kind of bad-faith agenda -- you may want to change course. Hijiri 88 (やや) 01:49, 17 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Claims about effects of asanas edit

Hi, many thanks for your contributions to asana articles. However, we need to be extremely circumspect about any claimed benefits, especially where, as in Iyengar's case, no actual evidence was adduced for any of them. In Science of yoga the weak case for such claims (basically, none, with plenty of reliable evidence the other way) is presented, with discussion of the nature and purpose of different types of claim. We really can't present any of these claims in asana articles without extensive caveats, and basically we'll be better off not repeating those caveats over 100 articles, so I suggest we don't add the claims in the first place. To put this at its plainest, Iyengar is a splendid source for Iyengar's asana practice, but totally unreliable for claims of benefits. I do hope this is clear. Happy to discuss. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:06, 18 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Same at Virabhadrasana - claims are not substantiated, which means "untrue", so I have reverted your addition there. Please do not continue until we have reached some sort of agreement, I have explained the position and ample evidence is available in the citations at Science of yoga. Thank you. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:13, 18 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

User:Chiswick Chap-Hi, Thank you for your feedback. What I want to point out here is that the claims made about asanas were attributed to a source which in my view is akin to saying, so and so who is an authority, albeit arguably, has said this about the asana. I thought attributing information to a source was an acceptable convention. Having said that,I am quite aware that any unsubstantiated claim about something like yoga might be controversial, but I think when I decided to add the information, it was because many claims were already mentioned in the said article. All I did was add a few more and I made sure to cite it so that the burden of proving it is not on me. I understand and accept that such information should be looked at with care, but I am also curious to know why other claims about those poses have not been flagged. Just curious, not necessarily argumentative.Krow750 (talk) 00:30, 30 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

There's nothing special about this case. Every scientific or medical claim on Wikipedia has to be supported by a reliable source, and in the case of medical effects that means WP:MEDRS. It requires proof via a systematic review of experimental evidence. The site you mentioned was not of that sort. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:02, 30 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Your edits to Caged Bird edit

Hi Krow750,

I've reverted your additions to I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings because they did not fit where you placed them. For example, while your story about Angelou being drunk does belong in the Background section, it doesn't belong at the beginning of that paragraph. Most of the other additions you made also belong in other places. Also, please remember that this article is a featured article, so it's customary for editors to come to the talk page before making such changes, although not substantial, are important enough to get consensus before adding them. I will, however, add the content from the WA Post review to the article in the next few days. (I have a subscription to the Post, so I'll try and find the original review, which may prove helpful.)
