Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with , a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Ugog Nizdast (talk) 13:37, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Lookinhotbra", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is offensive to women and sexual in nature. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Ugog Nizdast (talk) 17:34, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, it was not my intention to offend anyone. At the time of creating this account i was member of many internet bodybuilding forums..I intended my username to be "lookinhotbrah" but the h got left out and now my user id sounds offensive and has double meaning. But ok, I will try and change my user id. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lookinhotbra (talk • contribs) 02:42, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

It's okay, we know most people don't have any intention but we have to be extremely careful here, since there are so many other users and even names which are slightly offensive need to be changed. Hope you have read change of username and there are two more things: while using any talk page (see more about this at Talk page guide like this, please sign your posts by typing "~~~~" and also read about Help:Minor edit, as I've noticed you have been selecting that unnecessarily. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask them here. -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 07:21, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Haha how you got your username is a little funny, anyway I came back to tell you that I expanded your edit at Sathya Sai Baba, see this and explained some things in the edit summary for you. Hope you read it. Sincerely, Ugog Nizdast (talk) 07:50, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks :) You know your username is going to attract attention when nithyananda devotees write your user id as "lookinthebra"

Ok thanks for the heads-up regarding the edits to sathya sai baba (I will be a little bit more careful before removing words..) Lookinhotbra 11:57, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 17

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Swami Nithyananda, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kundalini (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, I'm Jackmcbarn. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Swami Nithyananda, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jackmcbarn (talk) 03:56, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

I have to agree with Jackmcbarn's observations. Your edits appear purely as an attempt at character assassination. Understand that all the controversies against Swami Nithyananda are only allegations. And that he is the Guru of more than 10 million people worldwide. And not only that, he is the head of the oldest apex body of Hinduism. So calling him self styled is sort of like calling the pope a self styled leader. Please don't keep reverting the changes people are making to the article without reason. WP:AVOIDEDITWAR Acnaren (talk) 17:48, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

If the "self-styled" godman was out of hand , It would have been reverted by ADMINS. The swami nithyananda page is being monitored by admins like Sean.Hoyland and Doug.Weller. Just because you find nithyananda as a god does not mean the world media and the rest of the world sees him like that as well. Again and again you are engaging in revert wars, If you feel that he is not a controversial god man, Then discuss on talk page instead of blindly blanking sourced information

As i said in your talk page earlier, Nithyananda's page does not exclusively belong to you. If you feel that any information is out of hand, Then please discuss on talk page. Please do not blank sourced content. Thanks.

Your user page

Hello, I just wanted to let you know that the link on your user page to your previous accounttakes you to User:Username; I was about to fix this, when I realized that the account name that you mention in your user page doesn't actually exist. Graham87 15:10, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for notifying me. I will remove it from my user page. Thanks you. :) Lokayata91 (talk) 14:44, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Graphology

You had asked a question quite a while back on how graphology was related to psychology. You said that psychology was a real science and dismissed graphology as a pseudo-science. I don't agree with this. Graphology is related to psychology because handwriting is behaviour and psychology is the study of behaviour. The Harvard professor Gordon Allport categorized handwriting along with other expressive behaviour such as body language, facial expressions etc in his book Studies in Expressive Movement. I know you'll tell me about Beyerstein's book but I strongly advise you to read the book "The Beyerstein Book: A Critical examination" by Marcel Matley, one of the best Questioned Document Examiners and also a graphologist. The article on graphology is outdated and needs to be revised. Please do look up the website of the International Graphological Colloquium for a list of peer-reviewed research studies in support of graphology, most in foreign languages: http://www.igc-grapho.net/research-in-graphology. Thanks for reading. 182.72.155.182 (talk) 09:22, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

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.
