Userbox

Greetings Joshua Jonathan! How are things with you? I was wondering if you were able to help me to set up a Userbox on my User Page, where I could put different templates, all nicely aligned to the right just above the images I have? ;-)

Thanks a lot in advance! Cheers! Jayaguru-Shishya (talk) 20:44, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Done! Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 05:43, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks mate, and please have a pleasant Friday! Cheers! Jayaguru-Shishya (talk) 00:37, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

It was a pleasant friday indeed. Wish me more! Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 06:23, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Varna (Hinduism)

Joshua

I will keep on editing it back. As i said give me a proof that the term "Varna" means colour and i will stop. However if you cannot prove it and want to edit Hindu texts in a negative sense this will not be tolerated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vikramadityachandel (talk • contribs) 07:10, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

There are two references. I think you're WP:NOTHERE. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 07:45, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

George L. Hart

Hi JJ, I have expanded the George L. Hart article. Can you review it, and perhaps condense it if you think it is too long? Cheers, Kautilya3 (talk) 23:30, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Oh, you might also look at Paraiyar. - Kautilya3 (talk) 00:36, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Haha, I already expected you to mention Hart! I'll take a look, of course. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 05:17, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

It's good; it's interesting and informative to read. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 05:38, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks JJ. You were expecting me to mention Hart? (I will need to put this information into the Caste system in India article. Samuel's treatment isn't that great.) - Kautilya3 (talk) 10:46, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

I love your irony. But it seems to have merit, yes. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 21:21, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

The JNU saga

What might have been a storm in a teacup at JNU has been transformed into a world-wide furore. The Kashmiri separatists couldn't have hoped for better publicity. May be it is all for the better. This issue had to come to the forefront sooner or later. - Kautilya3 (talk) 21:06, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Maybe the two of you can explain to me what this is all about? What do "the Kashmiri separatists" have to do with JNU? Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 21:19, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

JNU students were cheering various Jihadi terrorists and are on videotape inciting violence. Remember India is 20% Muslim.VictoriaGrayson^Talk 21:20, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Where-after police forces entered the university grounds and arrested a student leader, on charges of sedition; in response, students protest, and a petition is signed by more than 500 people, including Sheldon Pollock and Noam Chomsky. Which you see as support for terrorism?... Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 21:50, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

You got the idea. See User_talk:Kautilya3#Indian_Left_now_Cheering_Various_Terrorists. The JNU students that were supporting the so-called "Jihadi terrorists," were clearly an ultra left-wing, who would have normally had no support from any quarter. The right wingers have now turned them into heroes. - Kautilya3 (talk) 22:03, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Gosh! Check out the day's news. - Kautilya3 (talk) 22:08, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Here is a good piece to read [1], from a JNU professor. Arnab Goswami is the talk show host (of the so-called "news hour") that VG made me watch. - Kautilya3 (talk) 22:30, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Of course this JNU professor will attack Arnab.VictoriaGrayson^Talk 22:34, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

It all sounds like an event waiting to happen:

"Demanding beef in the hostel mess and worshipping 'Mahisasur' (a demon) are among the anti-national activities of the students listed by Delhi Police in a report on the controversial event organised in the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) to commemorate the death anniversary of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru." [2]

How is "Kashmir separatism" the same as "jihadism"? Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 05:53, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

The use of bombs, guns, killing people, attacking government buildings, flying the flag of ISIS etc.VictoriaGrayson^Talk 06:09, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Some fringe has turned "too left". But, they have forgotten that the negation of the State is anarchy. In general, overwhelming majority of the students across all Indian university campuses are not at all supporting them. No doubt a debate has started on ISA, but it is not anti-national and I can say this being personally present in such debates in my campus.Ghatus (talk) 12:39, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

JNU virus spreads.VictoriaGrayson^Talk 16:30, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

@Ghatus: thanks for the link! Although I'm not a Marxist, I like those analyses.

@VictoriaGrayson: thanks for the update. But why is this show in English? Isn't that a strange contradiction, using the language of the former oppressor to promote nationalist ideas? I bet there's a Marxist term for such kind of cultural domination. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 17:27, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

It's strange you consider antiterrorism as nationalism. Do people cheer Osama bin Laden in your country? VictoriaGrayson^Talk 18:38, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Changes to Kanhaiya Kumar

Can you please advice why my changes were not constructive.

Change #1: Afzal Guru is a terrorist. By All means. You trying to potray it as Kashmiri 'Separatist' is only playing in the hands of Separatist. He was given death sentence by Supreme court of India by following all legal methods.

Changes #2: Some students only Support JNUSU and Kanhaiya. Most of the students do not. And so, only some students protested particularly to that

Change #3: There is no term as 'Hindutva Politics'. Do not play politics. And Support such things. Helping to create a martyr after a terrorist supporter is not what Wikipedia is meant to be. It is to state facts that are relevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Srinivasrc (talk • contribs) 09:52, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

Reverting good faith edits

Hi Joshua, I was hoping you could explain your reverting the good faith edits I made. I realise you have put WP:Undue. Is that because you consider the organisation/religious group to insignificant to be mentioned? Or have you taken issue with the content? Thanks Alokibees (talk) 21:18, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
