Talk:Dru yoga

Contested deletion

This article should not be speedy deleted as lacking sufficient context to identify its subject, because... there is an article on Wikipedia:

http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dru_Yoga

I'm following the article over on the Dutch wiki, as a result of doing "recent changes". I'm not that convinced of it's NPOV, though. We're still monitoring events. Sander1453 (talk) 16:34, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

IMHO the article is not getting better, but I lack the time (and knowlegde of the English language) to make it a proper one. If anyone wishes to edit, please know that The Oracle will provide, once the proper search queries are entered, like "dru worldwide", "life foundation", "Mansukh Patel" or even "dru yoga trademark". The links currently given under Criticism might be of some help and the deleted article World Peace flame is linked to the "Life Foundation" and its guru. Good luck.

Done. Couldn't resist a poor article, especially after doing much work on the dutch page. Plenty of room for improvement, though. Good luck! Sander1453 (talk) 07:06, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Page under attack

After checking out for the activity on this page, it clearly appears that somebody is attacking the organisation by constantly reverting neutral edits made on the page and adding as many negative sources as possible. Having a criticism section seems normal however, deleting all extra neutral and sourced content doesn't seem fair at all. In the meantime, I am pretty sure all of the different users reverting content are actually one and only person. I believe it would be nice to find an agreement and try and updating the page together otherwise admins should be alerted! Waiting for an answer.

I've worked on this page before (and on the Dutch version). I'm with you. Not all edits have been for the better. I've removed some of the references: doubles, unreliable (blogs) and the one in Dutch. Added one line at the end, but not sure of it now. Regards, Sander1453 (talk) 07:32, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, proving that different accounts are actually one person is difficult, but not impossible. However, it will take more than a hunch to have it done. Sander1453 (talk) 07:34, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Sander1453, thank you very much for your help, I appreciate it! Regarding the line you added, after checking out garlands.xyz on whois, I fear this article has been created by some detractors since the website only contains 6 articles with no publication dates and was created on June the 10th 2014, which is way after all negative sources were published. Again, it seems like a personal attack! I suggest we should remove this source, what do you think? In the meantime, will try and spend sometime updating this page when I get a chance.

We have a whole bunch of brand new editors who already know their way around after just a few edits (on 1 article)! I'm not sure it will make a case for Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations. I've removed garlands.xyz and any info based on it. Sander1453 (talk) 02:58, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Sander1453, I see you have made several updates on the page. Thank you very much for everything! I will go further in investigation to try and sort this out. Wishing you a very good evening! Hayrettin Van Aken (talk) 16:40, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Graag gedaan.

I'll keep an eye on the page. You too. Sander1453 (talk) 17:13, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, non existing internal links are no reason to remove them. Someone may write an article someday. However, I think the notability of the two is questionable, so it's probably okay. Sander1453 (talk) 17:16, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sander1453, ok thank you. BTW, I did remove internal links for notability purposes! Best, Hayrettin Van Aken (talk) 08:01, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This page as now been added to the Neutral point of view / noticeboard page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view/Noticeboard), we are currently waiting for an answer to solve this issue. Hayrettin Van Aken (talk) 07:56, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've requested partial page protection. Hopefully it will be approved so we can get the new accounts discussing the matters here rather than edit-warring. --Ronz (talk) 18:53, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've indef-blocked all the new accounts for mass sock puppetry. It was all one person. Reaper Eternal (talk) 19:30, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Much appreciated! --Ronz (talk) 21:05, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much everyone for your contribution on this page, it is highly appreciated! Hayrettin Van Aken (talk) 14:26, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I was looking at the Dutch version of this page and I believe the same clean up should be done. There still is plenty of unreliable content and sources. What do you think? Regards, Hayrettin Van Aken (talk) 17:04, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
