March 2014 GAN Backlog Drive

It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:

• This drive will introduce a new component to it; a point system. In a nutshell, older nominations are worth more points than newer nominations. The top 3 participants who have the points will be awarded the Golden, Silver, or Bronze Wikipedia Puzzle Piece Trophy, respectively.
• Unlike the December 2013 Backlog Drive, earning an additional barnstar if you reached your goal has been removed.
• The allowance to have insufficient reviews has been lowered to 2 before being disqualified.
• An exception to the rule that all reviews must be completed before the deadline has been created.

Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish.

More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the the drive page. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on the drive talk page.

I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone!

Synonyms of Purusha

Hi, I'm hoping you can clarify something for me. Is the Vedic Purusha (as in RV 10.90, Purusha sukta) synonymous with Vishwakarma? The sukta article seems to suggest three possible names but members of the Vishwakarma (caste) have been adamant across various articles that Purusha = Vishwakarma and that nothing else might apply. I've tried reading some sources but it is just confusing me further ... and I'm very wary of anything related to claims made by members of any caste about their own community (especially when, like here, they're claiming a "higher" position than almost everyone else seems to think that they hold). - Sitush (talk) 11:57, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

User:Sitush, it is not as simple as Purusha = Vishwakarma. As far as I know, Vishwakarma is sometimes taken not the deity Vishwakarma, but as the epithet meaning "Creator of the World". Every sect has a different interpretation e.g. Vaishnavas say that Purusha Sukta is dedicated to Narayana [1]; Prajapati is also identified with Purusha [2]; another candidate is Brahman [3]. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 06:14, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks very much. I can now return to Talk:Brahmin, Talk:Vishwakarma (caste) etc without thinking that maybe I've completely lost the plot! - Sitush (talk) 10:31, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello Wikipedian, I am Ganapati Pujans. It seems you have renamed an article called Prathyangira, yet why did you delete photos off of this article? And why you said Narasimhi is not Pratyangira?

Indian rulers before 1500 on WP:VA/E

Hi Redtigerxyz! Thank you for your efforts to improve the coverage of Indian philosophy and religion on the Vital Articles/Expanded list. Do you have any interest in the general history of India before 1500? We have a severe problem of balance on the list, in that we have over 100 European political leaders from that time period, but just two from India: Chandragupta Maurya and Ashoka. I have made a list of eight possible additions on Gizza's talk page, but my knowledge of Indian history is extremely poor and I would greatly appreciate any comments you might have on my selections. Thanks for your time! Cobblet (talk) 08:32, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Anantashayani Vishnu

We have articles at Ananta Shayana and Anantashayana Vishnu. Are these two talking about one and the same idol; both situated in Odisha? And actually, should the article title "Anantashayani Vishnu" or "Anantashayana Vishnu" be actually discussing the form of Vishnu resting on the Shesha rather than one particular sculpture?

Vajreshwari naming confusion

Hi, I have recently edited Vajreshwari article and found that a place and temple with similar name exists in Kangra, HP. While the Maharashtra one is known as Vajreshwari or Vajreshvari (also ancient names Vadvali, Vajrabai which can be ignored for titles) and the Himachal one whose article is Vajreshvari is also known as Bajreshwari, Brajeshwari and Brijeshwari. This is the temple name and I dont know if a place by that name exists as the temple is located in Kangra town itself. So I request you give suggestions so that the articles can be moved/renamed, new redirects or a WP:DAB needs to be created. Thanks WorLD8115 (TalK) 04:21, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Koenraad Elst (serious BLP violations in a BLP article)

There are serious, ongoing and long-term BLP violations in the BLP article Koenraad Elst (see also at the BLP noticeboard).

The BLP article seems to be unstable: Each time someone removes any BLP violations in the article, they are being restored - and an user is again threatening to restore all BLP violations "soon". BLP policy is crucial to be enforced. Because of the very serious NPOV violations in a BLP article, this requires the attention of neutral editors.

The NPOV violations were explained in great detail by the subject of the lemma here:

• The wikipedia lemma on "Koenraad Elst": a textbook example of defamation
• Meera Nanda against Hinduism

These links say among other things:

Well, there you have it. The lemma on me has ended up taking this form because some militant among your contributors purposely wanted to “warn readers” against me. Please cite me an instruction for encyclopedists that names “warning” among the legitimate goals of an encyclopedia.

Either you remove the lemma altogether, or you straighten it out and apply the rules of encyclopedia-writing to it. At any rate, in a encyclopedia, I count on being judged for what I myself have said or done, and not for the gossip my declared enemies have come up with.

If Wikipedia wants to live up to its promise of being a reliable encyclopedic source, it will strike this and all sentences resembling it from its article on me. At most, it can use me as an example of how it was fooled by some of its all-too-partisan collaborators. Speaking of whom: the history page accompanying my page proves forever that some Wikipedia collaborators wanted to inflict on me the maximum harm possible, an attitude incompatible with work for an encyclopedia. --Calypsomusic (talk) 12:01, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Need Clarity

Hello Redtiger, i am skandasol, I visited the shiva talk page. In that shiva talk page you agree that Devdutt Pattnaik is a repsctable mythologist. Well said, the way he decodes needs to be appreciated. But, at the same time some members like Muon(yoga master,never respects others), Charles Riheens are of the view that a content needs no change. i am talking about the "Ascetic and Householder"(tale about shasta) page. I strongly feel the story description about Shasta clearly needs some change. They are taking explanation from Wendy Doniger. An Indian Court did ban her book. It's not important to look upon the credibility of the author before taking her explanation as a reliable on?? I strongly feel that references to Wendy Doniger needs to be removed from references tag and description needs to changed. Again Devdutt is far far better in decoding the stories. You are one among those powerful editors who always gets his say won. What's your take on this. Please provide some light on this issue. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skandasol (talk • contribs) 07:54, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

User:Eshwar.om, pan-Indian/pan-Hindu deities (also they are mentioned in various scriptures) are mainstream deities. Regional deities enjoy patronage in specific regions (say Kerala, Nepal, South India) eg. Aiyappa, Manasa, Ashokasundari, Aiyappa, Andhaka etc. (all considered children of Shiva, See also Talk:Shiva#Shiva.27s_children); they are restricted to regional scriptures. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 18:30, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

User:Eshwar.om, I just gave you a summary of the definition. RS do the classification. Please see Shiva article relevant section where all children are mentioned. It already has references which call them regional. Some other references that call him regional: [4], [5]. Aiyappa also has no reference in the Puranas or any other mainstream scripture.

Middayexpress, I can approve "among the most adept female poets in the Bravanese dialect", once you put it on the DYK page.

Fair use of images depicting gods/goddesses

Hello Redtigerxyz, you have removed the fair use image I have added to the article of goddess Pattini citing a violation of WP:NFC. Since the normal copyright laws are also applied to the statues or paintings of goddesses, those work can not be uploaded straight in to Wikipedia under the free accepted licenses. Can you please indicate the section/paragraph of WP:NFC or any other Wikipedia guideline that was violated by this image? In my view, that image does not violate WP:NFCCP and therefore can be used in the article of the goddess. Thank you. -- Shehanw (talk) 15:27, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Shehanw, Criterion 1 "No free equivalent" is violated. Since Pattini is an ancient goddess, at least 1 {{PD-art}} image of the goddess should exist in the world. Else, you or anyone else can paint her picture or sculpt her statue and click it and upload under a wikipedia allowed license.--Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:25, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Your theory can be applied to the fair use images of dead persons and album covers too, isn't it? any one can paint or sculpt a statue of a dead person and click it and upload it under an acceptable license. Album covers also can be painted and uploaded with an acceptable license. Hopefully an artist will paint or sculpt the goddess and upload it to Wikipedia one day. If not we have to wait until a wikipedian find that {{PD-art}} image of the goddess that should exist some day. I got it, thanks for the information. --Shehanw (talk) 16:43, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Ashokasundari

You had reverted my edit on the article saying that she is worshiped in Gujarat. However she is not worshiped in Gujarat and especially you have no proof that she is worshiped there. Also that news article by Devdutt Patnaik (http://www.speakingtree.in/spiritual-articles/mysticism/shivas-girl-child) is inaccurate and contains many false claims. Devdutt's articles are often filled with inaccuracy and contradictions and that's why this news article about Ashokasundari has not been used a reference in the Ashokasundari article. The article says that she is called Okha and salt is not purchased in her memory in the month of Chaitra. However this is false. No book by any author (except Devdutt himself)on mythology mentions that she is called Okha or that salt is not purchased in her memory. Also the article mentions that she hid behind a sack of salt during Ganesha's beheading however in no book not even in any translation of the Padma Purana itself where she is mentioned says that she was present during Ganesha's beheading. SO tell me do you still want to use this unreliable source by Devdutt Patnaik. This the reason why this unreliable source hasn't been used in the article. You are a much more experienced editor than me should know that we do not mention something on Wikipedia just because it seems that way especially when the source mentioning it is itself unreliable. We only mention it when it is proved beyond doubt that the source mentioning it is reliable and is displaying correct info. MythoEditor (talk) 09:39, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

This Gujarati article [7] also narrates the story of the salt is told. Please note the story is not part of Padma Puranna, but a Gujarati folk tale. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 10:22, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

You should know that we do not use some random website off the internet as a source even if this article is in Gujrati. Also it is written recently in 2014. It could be likely that this article copied the information from Devdutt Patnaik's article. There are many websites that have copied the same thing about Ashokasundari should we use them as source too. That's why we didn't use Devdutt Patnaik's article and we can't use this website as a source too. Do you have any real proof that she is mentioned in Gujrati folk tales like a direct translation of the folk tale where she might have been mentioned? Do you have any proof that she is really worshipped in Gujarat? Like a temple of hers or a ritual? Actually salt is not eaten in Chaitra because of Navaratras not because of Ashokasundari. When sourcing mythological articles we cannot source just some random website of the internet as they might be biased. And I wonder why do you insist so much on adding that Ashokasundari is mentioned in folktales of Gujarat. If she is mentioned in folktales of Gujarat then why doesn't any book about mythology mention it? Also Oneindia.in is actually web portal which bring its information from diverse sources. It is most likely they have copied this information from Devdutt's article since none of the content on their site is original. It is disappointing to see that you will try to insert information about which you have no reliable source. MythoEditor (talk) 14:40, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Oneindia.in is also a news portal and they have a news section. Anything is which is 2014 does not mean that it is copied from Devddutt's article. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 04:36, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

That is supposedly. However this article's content and Devdutt's article's are very similar. And that is not just because they both are about Ashokasundari. The way these two articles is written is very similar. Also remember that a web portal sources its information from various sources even the news. Also you should know that 's article also appeared in Times of India. Should we use that as a source just because it appeared in a news website? Obviously not. All information must be verified. If you think that a folk tale about a god or a goddess can't appear in a book then think again.Vishnu maya is not mentioned in any scripture. His origins too are folk legends however the source I have used on his article clearly mentions he is a non Sanskritic deity. Also there is a folk tale about Shiva dancing nude to make Kali run away from a forest. However it is mentioned in a book that I read on Google. I am not at all against adding information about Ashokasundari to her article I actually in support of it. However the information should be first proved reliable and true without a doubt. Besides I think it is not such a big deal that the thing about the folk tale can't be added ,even if might be true (which is unlikely). Actually believe me it's not even that much important since the main reason behind creating Ashokasundari article was to prove that there did exist a daughter of Shiva and being able to prove just that is a big achievement in itself.

Dashavatara

its wrong to say buddha is a avatar of vishnu. it is not accepted by hindus. the sources are not right.. maybe budhists (not majority) have a belief like that. plz don't endorse wrong inforation in wikipedia.Rameshnta909 (talk) 12:06, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Which holy puranas says that tell me? Some of the editors aggressively endorsed this view in an article doesn't make it right.. there are numerous versions of dashavatara but the most accepted is krishna as the 9th avatar and balrama as the 8th. It is the most popular list. budha was born in kaliyug. there is only one avatar in kaliyug that is kalki. plz change this nonsense.Rameshnta909 (talk) 12:23, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

EEng, (edit conflict) it is not about your humour. That does not upset me. The problem is people provide not so good hooks backed by not so good references and then cry why the reviewer is harassing them. I can't waste my time and mind on a DYK nom, where there is possibility of more mudslinging. The story has ended for me with an unconditional apology. My last edit was just to clarify Skr15081997's doubt about the hook. Sayonara. THE END.

DYK nomination of Uchchhishta Ganapati

It'a approved! Come back! EEng (talk) 18:41, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

I second that. --Storye book (talk) 14:15, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

EEng and Storye book, I respect your sentiments; but I am sorry that the DYK environment is not much coming back. The vague criterion "Within policy – meets core policies and guidelines" is exploited to include all policies in the wiki world e.g. an image review for copyright violations (I don't want to name the DYK). After what happened on Template:Did you know nominations/Glore Psychiatric Museum, where possibly I - the reviewer - was haunted by the demon of the new DYK process and unintentionally hurt people. Also Uchchhishta Ganapati was not a one off case (I don't want to name the others), suddenly a breed of so-called Hinduism "experts" (read DYK reviewers/participants) rose and started interpreting Hinduism and were offended or found gross misrepresentations in the articles. These "experts" were more right (pun intended) than the Hindu right-wing, were offended by heretic Tantra practices; which is not mainstream, but heterodox Hinduism. They were not aware of the fact that a Hindu deity is a complex being venerated by various sects, by various practices for various purposes, alike the Abrahamic God. These individual editors are not to blame, the DYK system and Wikipedia:Systemic bias is to blame. I am sorry again that I can not honour your requests. I hope our paths cross again on wikipedia. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 17:58, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Wow. If only you knew how perfectly what you say reflects my own concerns about DYK, especially the built-in contradiction of 7-day-old articles having to "meet policy", which turns out to mean "meet whatever miscellaneous guidelines the reviewer feels like pointing to", instead of just letting new articles be what they are which is, well, new articles. Well, maybe with time your strength will return. In the meantime, good luck and good editing! EEng (talk) 18:06, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Dahn for the appreciation. But DYK has become a psudeo-FAC and we have forgotten that DYK's job was to encourage new articles, and new articles can not be perfect; but DYK now requires them to be perfect.

WikiProject Good articles Future GAN Backlog Drive

Hello everyone! Hope you've all been having a great summer!

TheQ Editor recently proposed the idea of having another Backlog Drive in either September/October or November/December of this year. For those of you who have participated in the past two drives you know I was the one who organized them, however, come September, this will be my most important year in school so I will not be able to coordinate this drive (if it happens). TheQ Editor has volunteered to be a coordinator for the drive. If any of you would like to co-coordinator, please notify TheQ Editor on his talk page.

If you would be interested in participating in a Backlog Drive sometime before the end of this year, please notify TheQ Editor. Also, make sure to specify what month(s) work best for you.

At the time this message was sent out, the backlog was at 520 nominations. Since May, the backlog has been steadily increasing and we are currently near an all time high. Even though the backlog will not disappear over one drive, this drive can lead to several others which will (hopefully) lead to the day where there is no longer a backlog.

As always, the more participants, the better, and everyone is encouraged to participate!

GA Cup

Hello everyone! We hope you have all been having a great summer!

As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:

For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.

For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).

The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

WikiProject Good Articles - GA Cup

WikiProject Good Articles's 2014-15 GA Cup WikiProject Good articles is holding a new competition, the GA Cup, from October 1, 2014 - March 28, 2015. The Cup will be based on reviewing Good article nominations; for each review, points will be awarded with bonuses for older nominations, longer articles and comprehensive reviews. All participants will start off in one group and the highest scoring participants will go through to the second round. At the moment six rounds are planned, but this may change based on participant numbers. Some of you may ask: what is the purpose for a competition of this type? Currently, there is a backlog of about 500 unreviewed Good article nominations, almost an all time high. It is our hope that we can decrease the backlog in a fun way, through friendly competition. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors! Sign-ups will be open until October 15, 2014 so sign-up now! If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the four judges. Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 19:04, 15 September 2014 (UTC) To receive future GA Cup newsletter, please add your name to our mailing list.

Can you review the GAN for Maharashtra?

Hello again, I was wondering whether you got time for this. I took part in Wikipedia:Peer review/Maharashtra/archive1 and the nominator 25 Cents FC improved and rectified the sourcing in this page, so I feel the GA review should be relatively easy. I've seen a almost six month backlog and I feel your background will help in it getting a better review than a regular GA project member reviewing it eventually. Can you? -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 10:30, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
