Oops

Thanks for the "Oops", I understand it was not your intention to remove the other content. But could you try to give some context to the quotes you've added? As it is now, those are a lot of quotes, interrupting the flow of the article, and not very easy to follow. Friendly regards, Joshua Jonathan (talk) 18:30, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

no problem. Borakai (talk) 21:43, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Borakai. It seems to me that the line on extreme views provides a context - even more context than just "Nihilism and eternalism". This line can be supported by quotes - jsut a few, as illustration! For Wikipedia, it's more useful to give a synopsis of Madhyamaka's point of view on the Middle Way - though that might also fit, and probably better, into the Madhyamaka-article.
The point is, that a list of quotes does not provide a context. They need a "story", a synopsis, to make them understandable for the average reader - say, a 17 year old High School student. Joshua Jonathan (talk) 05:31, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

kundalini article

Hi Borakai. please do not accuse me of edit warring here. If you look at the history of the article, I am merely restoring it to the last state which reflected consensus. Plus I made a few uncontroversial structural changes. Every one of my changes had a good explanation and was done in small stages. It is a couple of relatively new editors who are simply reverting my revert if you like. To put it in the context of the Bold Revert Discuss cycle, Atiyogafan made a whole lot of arbitrary changes which I have reverted. It is now time to disucuss those changes but he keeps reverting back to his state. On the surface it may appear that I am reverting back to my version but if you look at the history, my version is closer to the last one which reflected consensus.

Your recent editing history at Kundalini shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
