Sapta Puri

[edit]

Hi, just a question about the Sanskrit text you added to the Sapta Puri article with this edit. I'm curious about where this is taken from (and I can't read the foreign-language source you've added). I've found a similar verse here – chapter 16, verse 114, of an abridged version of the Garuda Purana. Is this the original source? DanFromAnotherPlace (talk) 11:01, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@DanFromAnotherPlace: Yes you're right. It is from Garuda Purana. - MRRaja001 (talk) 11:05, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thanks. I'll add that link to the article. DanFromAnotherPlace (talk) 11:45, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I see you already edited it. Thanks. DanFromAnotherPlace (talk) 11:47, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Vishnupad Mandir

[edit]

I'd be interested to hear in what way you think this edit constitutes "disruptive editing". For the most part, I simply removed unnecessary piping, as well as making the article title match the first sentence, as per the MOS.

In reverting my edits, I can see you've reintroduced a number of errors, including restoring "Vishnupada Mandir" (which isn't the article name) in bold at the beginning of the article (I added the IAST, Visnupada, as an alternative form), as well as an incorrect reference to the "Brahma myth Brahmins" – a Google search for which turns up this page only.

Please explain your revert. I also think you should apologise for calling me a "disruptive" editor, which obviously isn't the case. Dāsānudāsa (talk) 12:16, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Dāsānudāsa: Basically Bhumihars are not "Brahma myth Brahmins' or not even Brahmins, they just claim that they are Brahmins. That's why i reverted your edits on that page. The origin of Brahmins ( irrespective of subdivisions among them ) is associated with Lord Brahma. So you should not add Bhumihar there without providing proper citations. If you think you're right please consider providing proper references for your claims, Thanks. - MRRaja001 (talk) 17:52, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@MRRaja001:OK. You should put that in your edit summary (instead of "Reverting back disruptive editing"), then, or only partially revert that change rather than the whole edit.
If these "Brahma myth Brahmins" aren't the Bhumihars, who are they? Because, as I said, if you Google "Brahma myth Brahmins", the only result is for this article, so that's clearly not correct either. Dāsānudāsa (talk) 18:00, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Also, there are multiple websites saying the Bhumihars are the traditional priests at the temple. If they're not, who are? Dāsānudāsa (talk) 18:04, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Dāsānudāsa: Websites cannot be accepted as citations, please provide citations from good sources such as News, Books, Journals etc. Please go through WP:CS, WP:RS and WP:V once, Thanks. - MRRaja001 (talk) 19:36, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I understand the rules, thanks. I've been editing Wikipedia for over a decade. Where is your RS for whatever "Brahma myth Brahmins" are, which - as I've now pointed out twice - is a Googlewhack with precisely zero results outside this very article? If we don't know who these traditional guardians are, we should take out the sentence altogether. - Dāsānudāsa (talk) 22:27, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't add that "Brahma myth Brahmins" sentence, but I changed and corrected the sentence with citation, Thanks. - MRRaja001 (talk) 00:59, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MRRaja001: Hi! I wanted to know whether goddess Durga is considered Vishnu's sister or not? .💠245CMR💠.•👥📜 02:55, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@245CMR: Yes, Goddess Durga is considered as Sister of Lord Vishnu, but is form of Lakshmi and is a Brahmacharini (a celebate goddess). In Mahabharata Lord Krishna himself said it to Yudhishtira to pray Durga as his "Bhagini" but the Durga who Krishna is referring to is not Parvati Durga, it is Lakshmi Durga, who is form of Lakshmi. Lakshmi Durga only came as the sister of Krishna in Dwapara Yuga. She is always considered as Brahmacharini. - MRRaja001 (talk) 08:28, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@MRRaja001: Should we add this in the infobox as she is considered Vishnu's sister in almost all traditions? .💠245CMR💠.•👥📜 09:56, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@245CMR: Yes, you can add. - MRRaja001 (talk) 11:24, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@MRRaja001: Ok - .💠245CMR💠.•👥📜 11:25, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@245CMR: I have a suggestion. Since you added consort as Shiva it's better if you can add "Shiva (Shaivism & Shaktism)" in this way. What do you say? - MRRaja001 (talk) 15:29, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MRRaja001: I think that will look odd and the note is enough. .💠245CMR💠.•👥📜 15:31, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@245CMR: Who sees the note tell me, even the Google search also won't see it. It'll be clear if we add like that. - MRRaja001 (talk) 15:37, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@MRRaja001:It will pop up on pc. On Google, it will be unaffected whether there is extra lines or not as it generally considered the links. .💠245CMR💠.•👥📜 15:41, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@245CMR:Do simple Google search as Consort of Durga, because of this it'll show as Shiva. - MRRaja001 (talk) 15:44, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@MRRaja001:It will be unaffected, tried many articles like this. .💠245CMR💠.•👥📜 15:46, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism on Kalaripayattu

[edit]

Hi,

For the past month some unknown user is continuously trying to vandalize kalaripayattu. Please go through the edit history, you can see how that unknown anonymous user is in edit war and vandalising the article.

The anonymous user 2409:4073:380:22F7:B8BC:C04E:4492:B679 has some pending edits on the same page now.

Please either block him or make the page protected only for extended confirmed users.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.39.76.60 (talk) 14:35, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@2409:4073:380:22F7:B8BC:C04E:4492:B679: @1.39.76.60: Please create accounts and start discussing on talk page rather than involving in edit war like this. Let's resolve it there. - MRRaja001 (talk) 05:52, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Vandalism is done by incompetent editors there who does not even know the basics of Wikipedia policies. MRRaja001, you are triggering edit war by blatantly reverting without explanation, violating WP:REVEXP and WP:FIES. You cannot ignore discussion. 2409:4073:31C:D12A:10C2:F3AB:367:F972 (talk) 11:01, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh really. Where is YOUR discussion for "expert needed" template? Wikipedia is not your website to do what ever you want. Is Wikipedia your website to do what ever you want? You have also added a wrong link to my discussion which was for "sourcing issue". I have explained in detail why the article need to be tagged, if you "contest" it then explain in talk page. Stop edit-warring and vandalism. Your agenda is clear. 157.44.198.173 (talk) 03:32, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@157.44.198.173: Am I edit-warring or you. I was just telling you to wait till all the people in the discussion give their opinions in the talk page. Anyways did what you want. FYI I did not add any link to your discussion "Poor Sourcing". I added citations only to "Creator parameter in infobox" discussion. I am looking for better citations to replace the bad citations in the article. I will add them once I find them. Thank you. - MRRaja001 (talk) 11:31, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Page Kalaripayattu is being vandalising by some islamist groups. In order to divert the issue they have started caste divide among hindus by glorification of a specific caste on page. Caste vandalism and caste glorification should be taken down. It is done by the same vandalising group in the name of proxy caste names as to make believe that nair are vandalising the article, but actually not. Revert all those caste glorifications. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.39.77.83 (talk) 14:32, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted (1 month for now)

[edit]

Hi MRRaja001. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:10, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrolled granted

[edit]

Hi MRRaja001, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! – Joe (talk) 11:06, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Purandara Dasa

[edit]

Came across this via its DYK. This requires a lot of work to reach WP:GA. The tone needs to more "encyclopedic"; sorry to say but it reads like "devotee literature". You can go through Madhvacharya, which is definitely IMO close to GA quality. Also, more references are needed. --Redtigerxyz Talk 17:14, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Redtigerxyz: Okay mate I'll take care of that. How is my article Satyanatha Tirtha and its style of writing. I am going to write the Purandara Dasa article also in the same way, Thanks - MRRaja001 (talk) 17:23, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fabulous. It is a great read. Why did nominate Purandara Dasa for a DYK if it is in such a state. Confused. --Redtigerxyz Talk 17:30, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator changes

removed Alexandria • Happyme22 • RexxS

Guideline and policy news

  • Following a request for comment, F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a has been deprecated; it covered immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
  • Following a request for comment, page movers were granted the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target.

Technical news

  • When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split and it might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem. (T278350)
  • Code to support some very old web browsers is being removed. This could cause issues in those browsers. (T277803)

Rollback

[edit]

Hi MRRaja001. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Beeblebrox (talk) 21:26, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators' newsletter – July 2021

[edit]

News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2021).

Guideline and policy news

  • Consensus has been reached to delete all books in the book namespace. There was rough consensus that the deleted books should still be available on request at WP:REFUND even after the namespace is removed.
  • An RfC is open to discuss the next steps following a trial which automatically applied pending changes to TFAs.

Technical news

  • IP addresses of unregistered users are to be hidden from everyone. There is a rough draft of how IP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged. Comments on the draft are being welcomed at the talk page.

Page mover granted

[edit]

Hello, MRRaja001. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! TonyBallioni (talk) 03:52, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@TonyBallioni: Thanks for that! - MRRaja001 (talk) 03:55, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
So, MRRaja001, the first thing you do is to move Tripura Sundari without opening a requested moves discussion or otherwise finding out whether there was a consensus to move the page? @TonyBallioni:, I think this privilege should be taken right away again. Skyerise (talk) 13:21, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Skyerise: How is it in any way related to Page Mover rights. We can move pages even without page move rights. Lalita Tripura Sundari is the actual name of the goddess and present in most of the popular references, you can check them here. Just go through this search. - MRRaja001 (talk) 15:17, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that it was almost immediately reverted shows that it is a controversial move. So the "used in controversial ways without consensus" above would apply. Proper process would have been to open a requested move discussion, wait until it is closed, then implement the consensus. It's an old and established article, and this likely has already been discussed in the talk page archives. Did you check? Skyerise (talk) 16:03, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Skyerise: There are no controversies in that. I will fix it don't worry. I already started a discussion on the talk page. Its just a matter of day, Thank you. - MRRaja001 (talk) 16:08, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it's actually controversial. If you won't open a formal requested moves discussion, then I will. Skyerise (talk) 16:49, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Skyerise: Adding different name is controversial. Adding a full name of a deity is not controversial. But we have already discussed it on the talk page. They told the reason for maintaining the name Tripura Sundari. They said that popular authors such as S. Shankaranarayan, Kinsley, Frawley mentioned only Tripura Sundari in their books. So, we have decided to not move to the new name. The problem is solved, Thank You. - MRRaja001 (talk) 02:19, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Skyerise: there's nothing wrong with making a BOLD move that's reverted so long as it isn't a habit and the person thought it wouldn't be controversial. Moves are subject to WP:BRD as well. The move has been reverted, now if MRRaja001 wants to do so, they will need to start an RM. I don't see the need to remove page mover, especially as it was requested for NPP/AfC things.
MRRaja001, I will say this, however, basically anything involving religion or ethnicity in India/South Asia is going to be controversial, including moves. Save yourself and everyone the user talk discussion and start an WP:RM first next time. TonyBallioni (talk) 13:25, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021

[edit]
New Page Review queue September 2021

Hello MRRaja001,

Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.

Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.

At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.

There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.

Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.

To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here. Sent to 827 users. 04:32, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Number of Principal Upanishads

[edit]

Hello! I noticed that you had made many edits to the Principal Upanishads article, previously named Mukhya Upanishads. I was wondering what your opinion was on the number of Principal Upanishads to include in the article. Although there are many sources that state there are 13, there are also some that only acknowledge only 10. I would like to expand the article and was going to ask many significant editors of the page for their opinion before making any edits. Would you please be able to provide ur opinion as well as your reasoning as well? It would be very much appreciated! Thanks! Raps19 (talk) 00:18, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Raps19: Principal Upanishads are only Ten. Adi Shankara and Madhvacharya wrote commentaries on only Ten Upanishads. The other Upanishads which some people are claiming to be written by Adi Shankaracharya was not true and in dispute. According to our main Acharya's it is 10, if new scholar's make it 12 or 13 we cannot do anything. You can expand the article but the fact is Ten Upanishads are Principal Upanishads. If you need any help while expanding, you can contact me. Thanks - MRRaja001 (talk) 03:09, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Blue warning icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Advaita Vedanta. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you. Dāsānudāsa (talk) 10:15, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Dāsānudāsa: Hello, thanks for warning. First of all I didn't revert it 3 times. Second thing is, they are most accepted names Advaitins themselves. I think you are not familiar with these. Don't you know that before reverting the content you can discuss about it on talk page of article. Before removing and reverting discuss about it on talk page first. I don't know what problem you have with this. Let's discuss about it on article talk page. - MRRaja001 (talk) 10:27, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate that you haven't reverted three times, but the 3RR is a limit, not something you're supposed to aim for. The person making the changes, if reverted, must seek consensus for them. (It's called the bold, revert, discuss cycle.) You'll get in trouble if you edit-war, regardless of whether you've exceeded three reverts or not. Dāsānudāsa (talk) 10:46, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Dāsānudāsa: I know that. What is the reason behind reverting my edits. What problem do you have with this. - MRRaja001 (talk) 10:50, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
As I said in my edit summary, there's no need to mention the other names straight away when they're already listed in the following paragraph. It's repetitive and redundant. And it seems another editor agrees. Dāsānudāsa (talk) 10:58, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. - MRRaja001 (talk) 06:23, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lakshmi

[edit]

Hello, regarding the recent edit dispute on the page, I've few points to discuss - As per article, the statement is - " Whenever Vishnu descended on the earth as an avatar, Lakshmi accompanied him as consort, for example as Sita and Radha or Rukmini as consorts of Vishnu's avatars Rama and Krishna respectively." There are three important information in the statement - 1) Statement mentioned the prominent avatars of Lakshmi. 2) Statement mentioned the consort of Lakshmi and her avatars. 3) The chronological order in which her avatars appeared as per the timelines mentioned in various scriptures. Now, directly coming to point, Rukmini is not mentioned before Radha because of the timeline of avatars. Radha is mentioned with Krishna in Vrindavan leelas which happened way before than the Dwarka leelas where Rukmini is mentioned. Similarly like when we mention avatars of Vishnu, its Rama whose name come first than Krishna based on their timelines or the name of Parshuram comes way before than the name of Rama even though they shared the same time period for sometime. Now, the second point regarding the consort of Krishna - I think it was once discussed on the Krishna's page also where u deleted name of Radha from consort list in Infobox. But, never mind, there are multiple research papers and books which mentioned Radha as Krishna's consort for which please check wikipedia of Radha where almost all sources are arranged and organised properly. Regarding the married consort theory, first the disputed statement do not specifically talk about the married consort. So, considering it for writing the sequence of avatars is not a good idea. Statement simply stated "consort" to present the neutral point of view. Because, in many section Radha is worshiped as lover consort while in many others she is worshiped as wife of Krishna including Swaminarayan and Radha-vallabh section. Just to avoid this POV conflict and maintain neutral POV, word "consort" is used. I hope somewhat I am able to clarify the reason behind my edit on the disputed statement. Still, in case of any further discussion required, feel free to ping me. Thanks.Kridha (talk) 05:11, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Kridha: First of all, Sita is avatar of Sri form of Lakshmi and Rukmini is also avatar of Sri form of Lakshmi. This is mentioned in all scriptures including Lakshmi Tantra. Since, after Sita, Rukmini is the form of Sri i mentioned it continuously. I didn't remove Radha. I don't know what problem you have with this. - MRRaja001 (talk) 05:27, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
But Radha is also the form of Sri Lakshmi. Multiple scriptures including - Bhramvaivarta Purana, Garga Samhita, Gopal tapani upanishad, Narad Purana, Padma Purana, Narad panchratra etc mentioned her as avatar of Sri Lakshmi. She is as equal and as significant as Sita or Rukmini. Then what's the reason behind skipping her name between Sita and Rukmini. Her timeline lies just in middle of these two avatars. I just wanted to know your reason behind change of sequence? Kridha (talk) 05:40, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Kridha: See I don't have any problem with Radharani. But it is known fact that Krishna married Rukmini and Rukmini is the primary concert among all his wives. Anyways I don't have any problem. Thanks for the discussion. - MRRaja001 (talk) 05:48, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Rukmini is the primary queen consort of Krishna in Dwarka. No doubt about it. My objection was never about that. Confusion arises when we talk about the consorts of Krishna in general or avatars of Lakshmi because different scriptures present different informations. Combining all the informations to give a holistic and neutral POV is a challenge in itself. Anyway, thanks for understanding. It was nice having discussion with you. Kridha (talk) 06:06, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Kridha: All consorts are not Lakshmi incarnations. Only Rukmini and Satyabhama are incarnations of Sri and Bhu forms of Lakshmi and the remaining all are apsaras and have small amsha of Lakshmi devi. This is the reason why only Rukhmini and Satyabhama are worshipped along with Krishna throughout South India, Maharashtra and Gujarat. - MRRaja001 (talk) 06:30, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
What you stated can be categorized as a regional POV. In South, it might be Rukmini Devi who is worshiped as the avatar of Shri Lakshmi but in North and East, it's Devi Radha who is worshiped as Shri Lakshmi along with Krishna. In Barsana and pushtimarg tradition Devi Radha is addressed as Shriji. Coming to Gujarat, presently the scenario is completely changed after the foundation of Swaminarayan Sampradaya and Pushtimarg. Pushtimarg focuses mainly on Vrindavan leelas. In Pushtimarg temple, it's Devi Radha and Yamuna Devi who are mainly worshiped as the main goddesses with Krishna. They preach about Yamuna Devi as she is the guru of that tradition and worship Radha and Krishna in form of Swamini ji (Shriji) and Thakur ji(Shrinath ji) as the eternal divine pair. Even in Dwarkadhish temple in Gujarat, there is a separate alter of Radha Krishna just in front of central alter of Dwarkadhish. The idol of Devi Radha is also present with the idols of goddess Jambavati, Satyabhama, Kalindi in the seperate consort room of the temple. Rukmini devi's idol is not present anywhere inside the main Dwarkadhish temple. Her temple is situated two kms away from Dwarkadhish temple because of the curse legend. Apart from Pushtimarg, it's Swaminarayan section who is practically everywhere in the Gujarat. They are the dominating Vaishnava tradition in the entire Gujarat and they preach and worship Krishna with Radha as Radha Krishna Dev. The third Vaishnavism section emerging in Gujarat these days is Gaudiya Vaishnavism in form of Iskcon temples. Presently, almost all major and minor cities of Gujarat is having Iskcon temple. Being from this state, I have presented the exact scenario of Vaishnavism in Gujarat. You can cross verify from wherever u wish to. Rest in North India and Eastern India including Rajasthan, UP, MP, Delhi, Haryana, West Bengal and Manipur, it's Radha who is worshiped with Krishna as his consort. So see there is a crystal clear contrast on the question of Krishna's consorts and Lakshmi's avatar. People in different regions have different ideas and conception regarding the avatars of Lakshmi and consorts of Krishna. That's why we try that whenever we present information on Wikipedia it should be holistic, not selective. Thanks. - Kridha (talk) 06:24, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Out of many Vaishnava traditions active in North, East and West (Gujarat) , I included name of only these traditions because according to my understanding they are the most active, prominent, influential and have quite wide reach among common masses compared to other regional traditions active in Northen and Eastern part. They have set up hundreds of temples not only in India but also on international level and have a large community of their own. Many important and ancient temples in Gujarat, North and Eastern India are administered by them. So their ideologies, worshipping practices have wide reach which shape the present scenario of Vaishnavism in Northen, Eastern parts and Gujarat. Kridha (talk) 06:49, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Kridha: See I didn't deny anything or I haven't even removed anything. This much explanation is not required. - MRRaja001 (talk) 07:22, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rejuvenate WikiProject Skepticism

[edit]

Hello - my name is Susan Gerbic (Sgerbic) and I'm writing to you because at some point you joined Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism. This might have been months ago - or even years ago. With the best of intentions the project was created years ago, and sadly like many WikiProjects has started to go dormant. A group of us are attempting to revitalize the Skepticism project, already we have begun to clean up the main page and I've just redone the participant page. No one is in charge of this project, it is member directed, which might have been the reason it almost went dormant. We are attempting to bring back conversations on the talk page and have two subprojects as well, in the hopes that it might spark involvement and a way of getting to know each other better. One was created several years ago but is very well organized and a lot of progress was made, Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skeptical organisations in Europe. The other I created a couple weeks ago, it is very simple and has a silly name Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skepticism Stub Sub-Project Project (SSSPP). This sub-project runs from March 1 to June 1, 2022. We are attempting to rewrite skepticism stubs and add them to this list. As you can see we have already made progress.

The reason I'm writing to you now is because we would love to have you come back to the project and become involved, either by working on one of the sub-projects, proposing your own (and managing it), or just hanging out on the talk page getting to know the other editors and maybe donate some of your wisdom to some of the conversations. As I said, no one is in charge, so if you have something in mind you would like to see done, please suggest it on the talk page and hopefully others will agree. Please add the project to your watchlist, update your personal user page showing you are a proud member of WikiProject Skepticism. And DIVE in, this is what the work list looks like [1] frightening at first glance, but we have already started chipping away at it.

The Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Participants page has gone though a giant change - you may want to update your information. And of course if this project no longer interests you, please remove your name from the participant list, we would hate to see you go, but completely understand.

Thank you for your time, I hope to edit with you in the future.Sgerbic (talk) 07:15, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Deshastha brahmin

[edit]

Thanks for all the good work on this article. I think it is now time to go through the article section by section, and then make changes to lede to bring it in line with the body. At present, the lede does not reflect the body. Any thoughts? Best regards.Jonathansammy (talk) 15:21, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonathansammy: Yes mate! I am going to add much content regarding the positions held and the administration of Deshastha Brahmins in the historic times throughout Maharashtra and Deccan. Doing research on this. Many prominent authors such as Robert Eric Frykenberg wrote books on the administration of Deshastha Brahmins. Soon you'll see everything. Thanks. - MRRaja001 (talk) 15:31, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@MRRaja001: I look forward to reading the new content. Please don't make any changes to the lede until you are satisfied that the body of the article has everything we need.Thanks.Jonathansammy (talk) 18:56, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@MRRaja001: I don't think the topic is useless because it sheds light on historically how different brahmin communities cast doubt on the claim of a rival community to be brahmin. It needs to be revised and lot more content needs to be added.i have the sources. Thanks.Jonathansammy (talk) 16:28, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Jonathansammy: OR I think we can move it to Social and Political issues. - MRRaja001 (talk) 17:27, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) This page was on my watch list probably because I had posted a message here. @Jonathansammy:, I agree that the dispute should be mentioned but the 'Deshastha Brahmin' page probably should only mention the issue summary and the final outcome(for example: Peshwa's challenge was dismissed by Brahmin scholars). The dispute will probably have many details. Probably best suited for gramanya page instead of the main caste page. What do you think? This dispute is different from the Shenvi(GSB) vs Brahmin dispute or Sonar vs Brahmin dispute where the all the Brahmins(Karhade, Deshastha and Chitpavan) were united against these communities. In this Deshastha case, I assume the only people challenging their Brahminhood might be the Peshwa and some of his Chitpavan yes-men. Hence adding all the details of the dispute will clutter the deshastha page IMHO. Just got the source for the Sonar dispute and it is 30 to 40 pages! Let me know what you think.LukeEmily (talk) 22:56, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@LukeEmily: Yeah, I agree with you. - MRRaja001 (talk) 23:03, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Gopal Hari Deshmukh

[edit]

Hi, Deshmukh was the title of the family.The actual surname was Sidhaye which should make him Kokanastha.A generalization, but in the early period of British colonial rule during the 19th century, I don't see many deshastha at the forefront of the social reform movement, or the nationalist movement.Thanks. Jonathansammy (talk) 13:50, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonathansammy: But some citations are telling he's a Deshastha and some are telling he's a Chitpavan. How do we justify this.- MRRaja001 (talk) 15:01, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@MRRaja001: Let me dig for the Sidhaye reference. Unfortunately,until then the issue of his sub-caste will be in limbo. Thanks.Jonathansammy (talk) 16:56, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Jonathansammy: I'll also search for it. If I find it, I'll let you know. - MRRaja001 (talk) 18:29, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The Sidhaye name is on his Marathi wikipedia page, but no citation.
If you can read marathi then check this one out[2] - Jonathansammy (talk)
Yeah, it is present in this book, but we need better citation. I'll dig deeper into this and let you know if I find any English books. - MRRaja001 (talk) 22:51, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Good luck. I think a Marathi language reference is allowed as long as you have translation in a note. Thanks.Jonathansammy (talk) 02:08, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Jonathansammy: Marathi language citations are allowed but the citations which are telling him as Deshastha are University of California Press, and other prominent publication houses. So, in order to fix this we should add citations which are of similar reputation or popular University press books. I'll try finding them. My point is in future there should be no disputes like this again. What do you say? - MRRaja001 (talk) 04:54, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, apart from serious academics, very few people care about what brahmin sub-caste a person belongs to, and therefore it will be difficult to get a reliable source in English on this topic. Until then, I don't think we should have him on either the Deshastha or the chitpavan list. I don't understand the point you are trying to make when you say, " My point is in future there should be no disputes like this again." please clarify.Thanks.Jonathansammy (talk) 14:06, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Jonathansammy: I found a citation and added it to main content. I hope this is enough since it was a critical study on Lokhitwadi and was published by the University of Poona. - MRRaja001 (talk) 14:36, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
