[edit] Hindu Creationism

I realized that we had LOTS on Christian Creationism, A fair amount on Muslim Creationists, a little on Jewish Creationism, and really no proper article directly on Hindu creationism, so I figured why not? I do not claim it is a wonderful piece of scholarship. It is basically a crude start, but at least it is a start. Please edit away to fix my mistakes. I also put it in the creationism template.--Filll 19:33, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

You should be aware that pretty soon, dozens of Hindutva wikipedians are going to descend on the article, and within minutes, the Hindu POV on the article is going to be 10 times the size of the scientific facts (which will get mauled beyond recognition). That's why I'm not about to do anything other than formatting changes. It's futile, simply because the likes of you and me are outnumbered 10 to 1. I wasted lots and lots of time in 2003, and have never made major contributions to any India/Hinduism articles since. Just a heads up. Thanks again for your effort. Arvindn 19:47, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Wow I had no idea. Well it will be an interesting experiment then.--Filll 19:51, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Caste

I have no idea what the caste rules are, so I apologize if I stepped over a boundary. The reason I threw it in was I was reading his official biography (which I guess I should put a link to) and it was mentioned. I also thought it was important given some suggestions I have read that he is a prominent Hindu supremacist who is not well disposed towards lower castes.--Filll 19:51, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, in that case it might merit inclusion, but only if it is mentioned in that context I guess. I don't remember where I saw this policy, but it seems to make common sense, don't you think? I was myself born into a caste, but it's not like I chose to do so, and having given up religion and all the crud that came along with it I would be rather offended if there were a wikipedia article about me and it mentioned caste.

[edit] Help in nellore topic

Please help me in Nellore topic. The user trueindian is simply replacing entire article with an old version that has lot of original research, personal opinionions and even poetic expressions. I had recently converted entire article into the style given in WP:INCITIES and WP:INDIST. I replied to him on talk and discussion pages many times. Is there a forum I can present this or can you help me educating him? I left messages to ganeshk and MERC-C, but both of them are on wiki break. Mlpkr 19:02, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

I steadfastly refuse to get involved in India related topics :) (see above.) I suggest you point out WP:NPOV, WP:OR, WP:3RR and other relevant policies to the user in question if you haven't already done so. If they make wholesale reversions again I will help you rolling it back. Arvindn 01:10, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

We presented that to one user earliear. But there are new users and some unkonw ips, and they are doing many times. Eithr bots and me are undoing changes all the time. Can we use sprotected to avoid some conflicts? mlpkr 17:58, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Done. If you continue to have trouble from more than one of the old accounts, please mark them with sockpuppet tags. If the sockpuppets together violate the 3RR, they can be blocked. Arvindn 22:11, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you and sorry for dragging you. I was trying to understand, but looks like they are not yielding. mlpkr 18:29, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, you can do unlock now. Thanks! mlpkr 14:42, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] hey

You are the most rude wikipedian i have ever seen.You are editing sections as you are thinking.Are you a demi-god?Nellorean 08:01, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

No, I'm a god. Just upgraded last week. Pretty expensive these days! Arvindn 08:54, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

May be irritating to Nellerean, but I could not control laughing at this sense of humour. Nellorean, he is just reverting personal opinions. Why do not you tell what is the information you think missing instead of blaming. We can discuss its inclusion. Please do that on discussion page of the article rather than bothering arvindn here. mlpkr 07:47, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding the article covering LTTE

Hi, just wanted to draw your attention to the current status of the article regarding the LTTE. I am trying to keep POV tags on it as it contains several statements that I consider poorly documented (LTTE involved in drug smuggling, forced prostitution and cooperation with Al Quaida). To make my position clear (as I also have done on the article's talk page) I am no friend of the LTTE - I consider their organisation in several ways have fascists and anti-democratic sides that I am strongly against. However I do believe that Wikipedia should be based on facts, not "talk on the town". I dont want to waste too much time over that article, but at least I will try to keep the POV tags from what I consider biased edits from sinhala chauvinists. If you could have a look and engage (or critizise me if I am wrong) I would be happy about that. Ulflarsen 06:38, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Classification of admins

Hi Arvindn. Please consider adding your admin username to the growing list at Classification of admins. Best! -- Jreferee t/c 23:04, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

oh, this is great, thanks. i haven't done anything fun on wikipedia in a long time :) Arvindn (talk) 00:26, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Asura

I noticed your name on the Hindu Mythology WikiProject. I'm hoping you can take a look at Asura - I deleted a reference to two Asura "brothers" I couldn't find anything about (and also, I couldn't make sense of the sentence) named Sumbha and Nisumbha. I was hoping maybe you'd know something about them, or if they even existed in mythology; or that you know someone who does, at least. That way they can be added back in with proper citations. Also, I'm not sure about Maitreya Buddha being an Asura in Hinduism, nor Vairocana Buddha. I left a note on the Talk page also, about disambiguation - I don't know who has the authority to decide whether or not my suggestion should be acted on, and I didn't want to step on any toes. Thanks! --Dbutler1986 (talk) 04:03, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Yup, Shumbha and Nishumba indeed exist, except someone left out the aitches. Google turns up plenty with the right spelling. Can't be of any more help, sorry. Arvindn (talk) 04:10, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
