October 2015

Hello, I'm Cannolis. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Raksha (Vedic)— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Cannolis (talk) 12:13, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Talk:Philosophy. Such edits are disruptive and appear to be vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Somewhat moribund as a daily existence I run short of steam. I'm putting this here to say I got your messages,. THank you.

Editing other users' Talk page comments

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. In case you didn't know, this rule also applies to the Teahouse, so please don't copy-edit other users' questions or comments there, unless you have that user's permission. —GrammarFascist _contribs ^talk 21:06, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If your comments at User:Sudaama90/sandbox were directed at me and/or JohnBlackburne, then you're welcome. The usual way of responding (most users wouldn't have looked in your sandbox) is to edit this page using the link next to the "Editing other users' Talk page comments" section heading above, then write your response underneath my comment. When responding on a talk page, you should always preface each paragraph of your response with one more colon than the last person used, which will make Wikipedia's software indent responses so it's easier to follow who is speaking where.

example one-colon indent

example two-colon indent

You are very welcome to copy-edit Wikipedia articles (though you might want to familiarize yourself with the Manual of Style first). It's only comments on talk pages, in deletion discussions, at the Teahouse, and similar places within Wikipedia where conversations are going on, that it's preferred not to copy-edit what other users have written. Again, welcome to Wikipedia. Your further appropriate contributions are encouraged! —GrammarFascist _contribs ^talk 02:21, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would add to the above by pointing you to one more guideline:

Wikipedia:Be bold. If you see a way to improve the encyclopaedia then do it.

Because you are new you may make mistakes, as you do not know all the rules. But don‘t worry as most errors are fixed quickly by other editors, who will be happy to point out any concerns they have. And even if you make occasional mistakes you can still be doing valuable work, adding information which other editors can build on, learning the rules as you go.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 04:36, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Diacritics version

@Sudaama90: Please stick with English spellings commonly found in scholarly sources. This meets WP:V policy of wikipedia, is easier to type and search on most keyboards. For encyclopedic completeness, please feel free to add the diacritics version once in an article, preferably at the word's first appearance, and leave the other spelling elsewhere. For example "Chandogya (IAST: Chāndogya)...". Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 13:36, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Sudaama90: Review MOS:DIACRITICS for wikipedia policy on diacritics, that spellings must be those found in verifiable reliable sources. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 14:20, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

PLEASE STOP

Please STOP adding Devanagari text to lead sections! There is a community consensus that lead sections should not contain any Indic script. See WP:INDICSCRIPT for more the discussion. — kashmiri ^TALK 00:07, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Kashmiri:: That consensus applies to Project India pages, not to other Projects, to all articles or Project Hinduism articles. See admin @Abecedare's clarification. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 00:41, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ms Sarah Welch: Reading responses under Abecedare's post gives an impression that his proposal falls very far from a consensus... I'd rather keep it the old way, esp. that for instance the biography of Abhinavagupta is not strictly a Hinduism-related matter. Anyway, as long as the discussion is not settled, I'd rather see new editors not going on a Devanagari adding spree, if you know what I mean... But thanks for the link anyway! — kashmiri ^TALK 00:47, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Kashmiri: The old RfC and consensus reached was for Project India. Like you, a few want to apply it all over wikipedia. That won't work. Read the WP:INDICSCRIPTS RfC and its limited scope. Indeed, I agree, India Project related articles should respect it, and new editors reminded of it. But Project Hinduism, Project Buddhism, Project Islam etc articles do use the primary script. See here, here, here etc. As you know, Buddhism and Islam is found in India too. @Sudaama90: welcome to wikipedia, Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 01:06, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ms Sarah Welch: The problem with your suggestion is that we base Wikipedia on WP:CONSENSUS and not on some admin's individual interpretation. The consensus was for no Indic scripts in the lede in all articles falling with the scope of Project India, and this hasn't changed to the best of my knowledge. Abecedare's suggestion should be disregarded as not reflecting consensus. — kashmiri ^TALK 03:04, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Kashmiri: You are missing the point. The RfC consensus for Project India is not same as consensus for everything in wikipedia or consensus for Project Hinduism/Project Buddhism/Project Islam/etc pages. That is what admin @Abecedare and other admins have explained. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 03:32, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A friendly tip about tildas.

Greetings Sudaama90! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I notice that you've been adding four tildas to your edit summaries. The idea behind the tildas is to add them after making a comment somewhere, like on a talk page or a discussion page; doing this will automatically "sign" your comment. By contrast, if you put them in your edit summaries, they just show up as four tildas. Which is fine, it doesn't hurt anything, but there's no need to do so. Just a heads up! Best wishes, Tigercompanion25 (talk) 16:23, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

February 2016

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Sea Hare. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Please do not include information about a subject in the title of a section.

Hi Vchimpanzee, I respect your letter to me but my brain is quite empty so this reply is untidy. I wanted to avoid clutter so had nothing to offer in reply - my query was answered.Sudaama90 (talk) 23:52, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. When I see no evidence the person saw the response, if the person is not a longtime veteran, I make sure they know.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 19:09, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Tuotou for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Tuotou is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tuotou until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. KGirlTrucker81^{talk what I'm been doing} 12:17, 31 July 2016 (UTC) what I'm been doing I purchased an item on eBay, from a Chinese company. While tracking it, as it didn't arrive, I received a page of notice written in Chinese characters - this you might already presume to know from my edit on Tuotou. Although everything was rendered into English by Google translate, I was left with Pinyin Tuotou. The item was a Tanto (knife), a letter short of Tuotou but the same number of t's. A nameplace or a typo? My first search was via Wikipedia and "tutor" was an option given, so no luck. I searched via Chrome and got that Tuotou is a Postal abbreviation. Wikipedia has rules and I see a consensus is sought: I now know the meaning of Tuotou is readily available on a chrome search and wonder as an Encyclopedia that the entry might assist English speakers shopping online?
