Hello, I'm Elizium23. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Anno Domini, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Dyeus

If we start along this path, citing other cultures' deities that were equated with the Greek Zeus or the Roman Jupiter, we would have a ridiculously long list - Jupiter Brixianus, Jupiter Partinus, Jupiter Solutorius, Jupiter Taranis etc.; there is no need to have Zeus Ammon when we already have Zeus. As for Ptah, you will not find a reputable source which can be cited for it, because it is wrong. Egyptian was not an Indo-European language and there is no etymological link between *pH2ter and Ptah. Paul S (talk) 11:22, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

List of asanas

Typical: a new user who removes the explanation which you'd added with the followng edit summary: "remove original research", including a link to original research. How does a newbie know how to add such a link? Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 07:26, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weird. I'll admit my explanation was a tad excessive (aka thorough), but I don't know about original research. Fancy tagging on his part. It was more like a list of easily verified and common knowledge examples of pose name inconsistencies. It would be nice to keep at least one example. I tell you there's no love in this wiki business. More reverts than barnstars. I could add a citation from here. Or just put a citation from light on yoga by Iyengar for half moon, one for half moon from asana pranayama mudra bandha by Satyananda (bihar school/sivananda lineage), and one for half moon from Bikram's book (which I don't have, but his asana list is all over the internet). It's certainly not an original conclusion. It's hard to say if it's really synthesis of material when all of these are noncontentious common knowledge observations you can read all over.

As an aside: I've got to get better at that fancy html you editors are all so fancy with. Iṣṭa Devatā (talk) 08:57, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"there's no love in this wiki business" - yep. And yet, it is nice to do research, and learn more bout topics. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 10:33, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Devanagari

Why do we need to add devanagari to the body of the text? We have the IAST. It's a lossless conversion. Sanskrit isn't "native" to devanagari, it's an all-purpose script created to be useful to writers in Indic scripts, not a magical keychain for Sanskrit. It's useful, but outside of spoken languages or quotes, why do we need to write on the English Wikipedia the name of the article in devanagari? Ogress _smash! 22:12, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In general, Ogress, you're probably right, but I still think it's useful to have it in certain places. Especially when, like the word bhakti, it isn't clear that it is rendered in accurate IAST since it is never marked as such. If a word has long vowels or something to give it a diacrit it would be clear that it is in IAST, but bhakti and yoga both render the same either way making it unclear. But as an aside, devanagari is a standard tool in the emerging yoga studies field.Iṣṭa Devatā (talk) 22:28, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

more sense

[1]

This makes more sense. "related styles" could mean related yoga styles, not just Sivananda yoga styles. That makes more sense now. Since I have limited knowledge of yoga, I revert to a more general treatment of facts.Curb Chain (talk) 17:23, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
