User talk:Dawud

Hi Dawud, I was reading the Buddhist Studies article and followed the link of Rosenberg, which led to Alfred Rosenberg, a nazi ideologists. I am not an expert, but from an article I read in internet by John Barlow, the Rosenberg you are referring to is Otto Rosenberg. John Barlow, “The mysterious case of the brilliant young Russian orientalist” - part 2 - International Association of Orientalist Librarians, Vol.43, 1998 http://wason.library.cornell.edu/iaol/Vol.43/barlow2.htm. Regards Roli51 (talk) 15:42, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dawud. I want to thank you for your work on the A.R.E. article. I am a longtime member of A.R.E. and it is good to see that someone has done such a good job of representing the A.R.E. on Wikipedia. I would like to hear back from you and find out your other interests, since I note the breadth of your interests from the various articles you have written and editted.

Please reply back to me via email at fdewey@mindspring.com .

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.

Fred Dewey Rochester, Ny (not my account)

Welcome!

Hello, Dawud, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!

This is Paul. I've noticed you editing the Baha'i Faith page - and also noticed that although you've now got an account, no-one has said hello to you yet. So, let me be the first to say Hi. I guess you're not entirely a new user, since from comments you made on the Baha'i article talk page you've made quite a few anon edits to various pages concerning mysticism - but I think it's useful to have one of the welcome templates where you can easily find it - it's got a few helpful links there.

Have fun at Wikipedia! PaulHammond 11:47, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

Symbols

Heh Paul beat me to first comment - oh well. First off, whats this about five-pointed stars? And also are you sure that the caligraphy is Persian? I'll write a tidbit about Baha'i caligraphy in a mo, but I suspect its Arabic. -- Tomhab 01:25, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Criticisms

OK re-read the article and agree that much of it can't go on the main page. How about making a Bahá'í social principles page or something. Much of what has been written can be copied almost verbatim to there. Other aspects can go elsewhere. It also means we can shred a fair bit off the main page (which is getting reasonably long).

I hope you understand the reasoning for all this. You obviously know your stuff about the Baha'i faith, but an article with criticisms in the title really isn't appropriate and a little NPOV.

Let me know what you think on my talk page and we can get cracking. -- Tomhab 01:45, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Well... I'm not entirely sure, but I think voting's pretty much done? maybe give it a few more days. -- Tomhab 10:45, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi, check out the Baha'i apologetics page. Since you started the original criticism page I want to see what you think. And since you seem interested in the subject I think you can do some valuable editing. But please provide references wherever possible! The criticism page barely had any and I ended up just cropping most of it. Cunado19 29 June 2005 14:00 (UTC)

I'm glad to meet another Cayce fan, keep up the good work!--Jondel 00:18, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Jesus

Look, no offense, but that thing you just wrote in Jesus is full of weasel words and was definitely not neutral. Also, it's best not to make the article an essay pushing you POV. As you may or may not be aware, you have stated a position taken by some people. This is most definitely disputed, yet I don't really see the alternate POV being put forward. There is also an article that deals with this, Historicity of Jesus. - Ta bu shi da yu 11:21, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

Please use edit summaries when making edits so that it is easier for others interested in the articles you are editing to follow what you're doing. This is especially important at articles such as Taoism where you are making large numbers of edits one after another. Another thing that could help keep down the numbers of unsummarised edits would be to use the "Show preview" button to check your work before saving the new page. Thanks, --Fire Star 16:11, 23 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Taoism

You deleted a whole section of the Taoism article with no comment as to why you thought it was invalid, what for? if you are going to delete whole sections of content because you don't think its relevant you should at least take ten seconds to explain why with a description.

Speedy deletion of Abhisamayalankara, Chapter Two

A tag has been placed on Abhisamayalankara, Chapter Two requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Please use the Move tab, instead of cut&paste to move or 'rename' articles

Hello, Dawud. It appears that you copied and pasted Ron Rubin to Ron Rubin (voice actor). Please do not move articles by copying and pasting them because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself using the move link at the top of the page, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen.

Abhisamayalankara

Hi Dawud,

Thanks for the entry on the AA. (It answered my question about who wrote zla-'od.)

However, I would like to draw a few factual errors to your attention.

Asaṅga lived in the 4th century, not the 8th.

Vasubandhu was converted to Yogācāra by Asaṅga, not the other way around.

Asaṅga's commentary is not included in the list of 21 Indian commentaries because no copy exists, not because it comments from the Yogācāra perpective. (In fact, it may never have existed at all, since no other text quotes from it, and the only evidence that it may have existed comes from a cryptic comment by Haribhadra in the verses of praise at the beginning of his "Great Commentary".)

Gelupa writers that I have studied say that the AA is written from point of view of the Yogācāra-svātantrika school. Could you please specify your source for saying that Gelugpas view it as having been written from the Prāsaṅgika perspective.

Haribhadra etc. wrote commentaries on the Ratnaguṇasaṃcayagāthā, not the Dharmasamgitasūtra.

There are a few Tibetan spelling mistakes and inconsistent use of Sanskrit diacritics, but I don't want to nit-pick. On the contrary, congratulations on your effort. And good luck with your AA studies.

ParvatamUDham (talk) 09:37, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi back, and thanks for writing, and your good wishes. (Do I know you? What do you mean about "Zla'od"?)

I'll try to get to these corrections soon-ish. (I'm particularly embarrassed about the "8th century" blooper.) Please feel free to edit them yourself too--that's kind of what WP is all about. If there are diacritical typos, I'm sure that I will never catch them myself. I know no Sanskrit, and only very bad Tibetan, and in fact only learned what the AA was a few months ago. So do please nitpick.

I assumed that being enlightened and all, Maitreya would have taught it as Prasangika, and that the claim was that Asanga (not so enlightened) misunderstood it as Svatantrika. I'm sure you're right, though--this is just the sort of thing I would be likely to get wrong. Dawud (talk) 03:21, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Svatantrika

Hi Dawud, thank you for expanding the svatantrika article. It prompted me to also add some detail, which I've been meaning to do for some time but you inspired me finally. I'm worried though that the shentong and yogacara articles have much more detail with respect to svatantrika views and I'm not sure how to refer properly to sections within those articles and avoid duplicating too much information. It's also tricky explaining all the distinctions perhaps between the three articles, and how shantarakshita's synthesis fits in. I'm not sure we really need to create a yogacara-svatantrika-madhyamaka article particularly. But if you have any thoughts on how to properly organize all of that content across all those articles I'd appreciate your thoughts. - Owlmonkey (talk) 17:50, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image reply from FPMT article & Misc.

Hi, I have recently replied to your request to add images to the article FPMT. Images will be uploaded as soon as possible. Also, I would like to request the speedy deletion of this Wikipedia article. I believe that the information provided in Wikipedia can create serious problems, including the danger of loosing lives and law infringement problems. Firstly, Wikipedia articles are commonly located in the first or second display result in the Google search engine. Had someone really have thought of doing an action like that, the result will/may be horrific. Secondly, in many countries, assisting a person's death is most commonly regarded as illegal. If Wikipedia hosts this article, it means that "it supports it." Wikipedia has continually stated that the law should be followed "in a reasonable manner," especially when dealing with "copy-paste" issues and image copyright situations. Third. For what reasons would Wikipedia.org propose that the article should be included in en.wikipedia.org? Whether or not if it is considered appropiate, doesn't this article belong in a "WikiHow" or other sister projects? Please take action as soon as possible. The mission that Wikipedia is to distribute information in a meaningful way. In addition, if Wikipedia.org disagrees on removing the article, that would violate and contradict one of Wikipedia's/Flordia's (database location) policies. I request that this article be removed immediately before any other further harm can be done to the international community. Thank you. Prowikipedians (talk) 12:42, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your reply, Dawud. Apparently, I've been trying to get that article off Wikipedia, which I believe it serves no purpose what-so-ever. I understand that some people want it their for plain entertainment without considering the consequences and I do understand that it is necessary to go through all those steps...:(. Would it be possible for you to "grab" some people that you know personally and/or some Wikipedians that have a stance for a voting? Thanks. Prowikipedians (talk) 15:42, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Isn't it ironic that Wikipedia has an article for suicide methods and not homicide methods?

FPMT and misc.

Hi. I left the following reply to your response in the FPMT article talk page.

I agree with you. It has enough sources, particularly from the original FPMT website provides PLENTY of information. Plus, I don't know what else to add here. I think some Wikipedians out here may seem to lack some understanding of the structure of FPMT. Spiritually powerful. Prowikipedians (talk) 14:50, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

In the future, use the "move" function to do what you did to move the contents of Maitripa Institute to Maitripa College.

Speedy deletion of William Melnyk

A tag has been placed on William Melnyk requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hello, thanks for the polite note on my page. The article was deleted because it did not have multiple significant secondary sources. In the Articles for Deletion you can find a few passing mentions that could be useful for sourcing, but don't meet the requirements of WP:GNG.

Fethullah Gulen

Hi can you have a look at the recent history of Fethullah Gülen, and give your opinion on the recently opened case against what I think is a Sockpuppet of Philscirel, the guy who originally wrote the long POV version. You can find the report here. Thanks. Arnoutf (talk) 13:57, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, too bad Philscirel/Nurefsan is not willing to cooperate. Phislcirel started out as a biased, but promising editor. However, he became more and more aggressive and unwilling to cooperate at the moment several editors started to seriously question his conclusions, use of sources and point of view (at some stage he even implied that he found the long version almost unacceptably biased against Gulen.......). He was blocked for edit warring at that stage and started to edit from several anon IP's, a rather clumsy block evasion (he sometimes even signed...). But even when I warned him just to sit out the 31 hour block he continued sockpuppeteering, and got himself blocked indefinitely. Since then there has been a regular (every 3 months or so) reappearance of the same tactic to reinsert the long text, by a new editor who makes some microedits elsewhere to hide the fact the account was created only for Fethullah Gulen. It is sad indeed as this guy knows something about the issue, but I rather miss out on that input than having the POV pused. Arnoutf (talk) 12:31, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on The Collector (2009 film) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.

About the article's Porphyrios Bairaktaris name To my mind the name of the article Porphyrios Bairaktaris should absolutelly change to Father Porphyrios or Monk Porphyrios or Elder Porphyrios, because actually he was a very famous Greek monk, that did many miracles and today many consider that he should be nominated as a saint. However, his whole name on the article dosesn't seem to refer to him as a monk but as a citizen! 688dim (talk) 13:59, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agni Yoga

Hi there. I read what you wrote in the Talk section of Agni Yoga. I'm interested in the book you're speaking about. I quote :

An especially pressing lacuna is the lack of information about AY groups in Russia and Eastern Europe. (I am aware of a new monograph on this from the Gregorian Pontifical University Press, and am waiting for my library to receive it.)

I wonder if you could tell me which this monograph is. Coming from the french wikipedia, we have there the same problem as it occured in english speaking wikipedia about "Living Ethics" (translation of the russian article) and "Agni Yoga", which was formerly erased. So, I'm trying to gather kind of a "corpus" in order to write something which could allow us to avoid a POV. French litterature and second works about the Roerich and Agni Yoga are really poor ; I hope to find more interesting things in english language. Thanks for your help !

Disambiguation link notification for August 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Orthodox Christianity in Taiwan, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Ramensky, Tianmu and Xindian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Orthodox Christianity in Taiwan

Your recent edit at Orthodox Christianity in Taiwan was recently brought to my attention based on a request for full protection for the page. In the request for page protection, it was claimed that the content your restoring is in violation of the BLP Policy, relevant part being WP:BLPSOURCES. My quick review of the restoration seems to agree, there are both some insufficiently sourced parts, and some negative claims that use sources that are questionable as to being reliable sources. Under BLP policy, the burden is on the proponent of particular content to establish that that content complies with BLP policy. Please do not restore the content until you have started a discussion on the article talk page, and that discussion has reached a consensus in favor of inclusion. (If no one participates, give it a week or two, and then make sure to carefully review the content you want to add to make sure it scrupulously complies with WP:BLPSOURCES. If at all possible, avoid using blogs as sources, no matter how strong the case for reliability may be, as any blog is going to raise a question of reliability.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Andrew Henderson (Nomad Capitalist)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Andrew Henderson (Nomad Capitalist), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. creffett (talk) 00:01, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
