Discussion on Svayam Bhagavan article
Shruti, can you please help with the S.B. article. Please look at the edits of mine and wikidas's. Can you please help with the article. It appears there might be some friction between wikidas and myself again. I really would like to contest alot with what has been put on this article. Please Help.Govinda Ramanuja dasa USA (talk) 02:01, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Laxminarayan Dev
Thank for the reply. High school!! Well ur not the first to tell me tht though. U guys seem to be doing a swell job for ur age though. Thats fine. Once I get the support and info Im looking for Ill prob start by replacing the redirect. Yeah Iv done tht. There was a user, Ism schism, who tagged a page with this workgroup within a day of my adding it. Finally, he left me a msg about it and Iv joined it since. Best of luck with your exams - and do remember me if u need any help. Wheredevelsdare (talk) 16:22, 1 May 2008 (UTC) Thanks for you input and response. Juthani1 21:13, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Please help with wikidas
Dear shruti, please help with mediating between wikidas and myself. The both of us has contact admins,I contacted DaGizza. Please help with the situation.Govinda Ramanuja dasa USA (talk) 08:38, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Your recent edits and suggestion on Svayam bhagavan
I just wanted to say, that I appreciate your attempt in bringing in balance to Svayam bhagavan page. I have a sort of broken communication with GRd who seems to be taking pleasure in making fun of my edits. I appreciate you impartial comments and input to the article itself - it is very much appreciated, especially since you are in the middle of the exams. Wikidās ॐ 09:34, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
- Shruti, I have added the other POVs to achieve WP:YESPOV - that is something that I need to be pointed out to what extend more I need to add other POV to get the balance right especially since Svayam bhagavan is a concept specific to Krishna-centered traditions. If some one can just point to me 30% in this section and 40% in this section I can do that I think. Thanks a lot. Wikidās ॐ 09:42, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

WP:NBA Newsletter
It was said here that you would do the next newsletter? Will you be doing it for May? Because if you can't, then I'll be glad to do it. Noble Story (talk) 09:22, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- I apologize for the late reply - I've been busy with school exams. You've done a great job with the newsletter. I'd love to help with the next edition. --Shruti14 t c s 03:33, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- About the next newsletter: It would be great if you could work on the June edition. As you can see here, I've done a major redesign of the newsletter. I was thinking that I could just handle the part on the left side (Project News, COTM, Member News) and you could take the right side (NBA Article, This Month in NBA History..). I think that would leave you with a lot of freedom to do whatever you want. What do you think? Noble Story (talk) 03:47, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- I'm sorry it's been SO long since I've replied to your comment about the NBA newsletter - I've been busy and away for a while and somehow I missed your message (on May 8th!) I would love to help with the right side of the newsletter as you suggested, and the left as well if you'd like, as I see that neither is done yet for the next issue. --Shruti14 t c s 23:57, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Magic Johnson has been chosen to be our very first Collaboration of the Month article. Although this is article is already a Good Article, it still can be improved. The goal is to improve this article by the end of May so that it can be nominated for Featured Article status. In particular, free-use images should be found for the article, all Manual of Style guidelines should be followed, and a neutral point of view should be maintained throughout the article. If there is anything you can do to improve the article, then please help out. |

Re:Thanks
Anytime. Hope they went of well - and dont take the last one lightly - u will hv all the time in the world for everything else after it. Anyways, Iv started Laxminarayan Article as a stubby - dont hv much info - but will be expanding as and when I get some. Pl. expand the article if u hv the resources. In case ur interested theres a proposal for a new Swaminarayan Workgroup, Swaminarayan workgroup. If you are interested in being an editor on this project, or helping in any way, it is still in the process. Thanks, Wheredevelsdare (talk) 22:55, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Re:Move
If you are 100% sure that that is the more common spelling then you can. Talk to User:Wheredevelsdare first. He created the page. Juthani1 tcs 02:24, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- I have also left a message on Wheredevelsdare's talk page as well. Also note that Laxmi redirects to Lakshmi for the same reason. I will not make the move unless there is a general agreement. --Shruti14 t c s 02:29, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Sanskrit translation
Hello there. I found your userpage by browsing the Wikipedians with Sanskrit language userboxes.
I'm currently working on an article about Honore de Balzac's novel La Peau de chagrin. In it, he prints this Sanskrit writing and provides the following translation:
Possessing me thou shalt possess all things.
But thy life is mine, for God has so willed it.
Wish, and thy wishes shall be fulfilled;
but measure thy desires, according
to the life that is in thee.
This is thy life,
with each wish I must shrink
even as thy own days.
Wilt thou have me? Take me.
God will hearken unto thee.
So be it!
I know nothing of Sanskrit (or if it even is Sanskrit), and I'd like to know if the translation is accurate. Any information you can offer is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. – Scartol • Tok 20:45, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- I took a look at the image link you showed me. It's interesting, but there is one major problem with it being referred to as a Sanskrit text - it's not written in a Sanskrit script! :-) Unfortunately, I cannot read the text for this reason, but I will say that the writing resembles a more Arabic script and not a Devanagari or similar Sanskrit script. As for the translation, I wouldn't doubt that there is a Sanskrit text whose meaning is close to the translation you gave me - it's just that it probably isn't this one. I'm sorry that I couldn't verify the translation for you, but I recommend that you find someone who is a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Languages, Wikipedia:WikiProject Writing systems, and/or Wikipedia:WikiProject Arab world to see if the translation is close to the meaning of an Arabic or related language text. Cheers! --Shruti14 t c s 23:10, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply – as I was looking around at the Sanskrit page, I began to seriously suspect that it wasn't. I will keep looking for someone who can translate it. Many thanks! – Scartol • Tok 00:22, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Sri Sampradayam and other articles/Wikidas
Dear Shruti,thank you for inviting me to help with the Sri Sampradayam article. I looked at the information that wikidas put, and , again it is utter non-sense. The Sri Sampradayam goes back BEFORE the first century B.C., He put 10th century a.d. I also looked at his information that he put on the svayam bhavam article, at alot of it is non-sense and supporting his I.S.K.C.O.N cult veiw. Every thing he writes is with this iskcon cult flavor. His information is absolutely off and just fantasy in certain places, and other editors have mentioned this. But, the one thing that upsets me, is that everyone LETS him put these erronious edits and information. I believe he has really marred the truth and information on many articles. Alot of his information is not trust-worthy. And, I think people should be warned about it. Every editor contributing to any Hindu articles has let him do this. He has even recieved praise for his edits! Look at his discussion section. But, what really gets me, is that he writes EVERY THING with his Iskcon cult slant. I have asked every one for help with him...and nothing. If I had the time, I would make this into a Legal matter. Please, this is not directed to you, please dont take it personally. This is a very serious matter; with his non-sense cult information and no one in the wiki-community really cares. Wikidas and other iskcon-ites, before and during my stint wikipedia, have tinted most of the hindu articles with their particular cult flavor. Sincerely,GovindaGovinda Ramanuja dasa USA (talk) 08:09, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Your question
- I would also like to help assessing articles. It may be better to add a Hinduism banner for most articles, although a separate banner would be fine as well. --Shruti14 t c s 23:02, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- I think that a great idea. I have created a banner that I have used on a Radha Ramana and Radha Krishna articles. Let me know what you think. its krishna=yes part of the main Hinduism one. Wikidās-ॐ 11:27, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- It's nice - I like it. Thanks for making it. --Shruti14 t c s 22:23, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Shruti,
I would appreciate your comments or a neutral opinion on the above.
I have left a following message on Govinda Ramanuja dasa/Zeuspitar talk page. Please feel free to leave a comment here: Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Zeuspitar
- Zeuspitar, based on the above comments, you think that repeatedly raising allegations and calling other people by at least demeaning and potentially abusive language, such as using the word "non-sense" , is acceptable. Please read the policy on no personal attacks, of which I believe all of your comments in the last 24 hours are clearly and explicitly a violation. I note that you are yet to provide a single substantiation of your contention about how inclusion of verifiable information could be a cause for a your comments that are clearly breaching the code of WP:Civility. Regarding your allegations regarding my own, admittedly partial conduct, being improper, I would have no objections whatsoever to being subject to mediation or arbitration. In fact, you must know, I have already requested it once. Verification of this can be found on the User talk:John Carter page, who is an administrator and an editor on the WP:VAISHNAVA project. You should stop canvassing and bulling other users by your sectarian comments and canvassing, of which your userpage is an example (diff). Please revert with a confirmation that you will stop all such behavior from this point on. Wikidās-ॐ 13:52, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Since you were trying to negotiate our dispute, I would appreciate if you can look at this section here, under Users_certifying_the_basis_for_this_dispute, since you were negotiating between us, to make sure it can be discussed further. Wherever you have time, if you have any. Wikidās-ॐ 21:00, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Pluto/Yama
I've had a go at sourcing it, but I'm not an expert on such matters. These things tend to be added by anonymous Indian nationalists who get angry and cry Western imperialism if they are removed, so perhaps I've been too lenient to that paragraph out of sheer exasperation. I don't really know how the name is used across India's vast language spectrum, but some form of "Yama" does appear to be used occasionally. I would appreciate the input of someone with first hand knowledge. Thank you. Serendipodous 09:57, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Krishnaism articles and assessment helping out
Shruti, I have done some, and maybe you can help out on assessment and adding krishna=yes parameter to the articles here[1]. I have went up to and including letter K. on unassessed Vaishnavism articles. Of course this assessment also serves Vaishnavism and Hinduism projects so there are a few benefits. Generally its is:
- Epics - Generally classed as top importance.
- Temples - "Mid" if in India , "High" if outside India, "Top" if a well-known temple outside India
- Biographies - "Top" if outside India
- Festivals - Probably High or sometimes even Top
- Deities Top should be kept for about only the ten or twenty most famous. Others that appear in famous texts a number of times are High. The rest including local gods and goddesses are Mid or more likely Low.
- Gurus/Swamis/Charyas/Rishis The founders of major Hindu sects and philosophies are Top while their followers and students are either Mid or Low depending on their influence.
- Mantras/Bhanjans The most important mantra (and bhajan/aarti) in a major sect is Top. Other generally famous mantras are High or Mid. The rest, if they even have an article are Low.
Most others are a mid and low. Wikidās-ॐ 08:15, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Last month's Collaboration of the Month, Magic Johnson was a great success. A total of 560 edits were made to the article during the month of May, and the article was eventually nominated as a Featured Article Candidate. Although the article was not promoted, it was significantly improved through the work of many editors. This month's Collaboration of the Month is Steve Nash. Although this is article is already a Good Article, it still can be improved. In particular, all prose should conform to Featured Article standards, all statements should be verified, and the text should be in a neutral point of view. If there is anything you can do to improve the article, then please help out.
