"traditions"

hi -- how are you going to draw a line between Category:Hinduism and Category:Hindu traditions? The rituals are tradition. The texts are tradition. The teachings are tradition, hell, what is not tradition? It will be inherently pov to classify stuff as either "true hinduism" vs. "merely tradition". I suggest we scrap the category. If you created "Hindu sacrifices" or "Hindu rituals" it may be possible to classify stuff more objectively. regards, dab (ᛏ) 09:06, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

"Hindu rituals" would be better, I suppose. Still, is a given mantra a ritual, or a text? (could be added to several categories of course). As for merging, I think you have to do it manually, i.e. put a note on the Category page that it is deprecated, and change the Category for all members. Once the Category is empty, it can go on WP:CFD. Category:Hindu Worship is another Category that should go, imho, already because of capitalisation, and also because of inseparability from other categories. best regards, dab (ᛏ) 06:28, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

well, which categories exactly are we talking about at the moment? which do we want to create, and which should be emptied? Editing categories is no different from editing articles, say, click on Category:Hindu rituals and start editing (mainly, specify a super-category. the categorized articles will appear automatically). dab (ᛏ) 18:23, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Nataraja

Hello Dangerous Boy; I am the one responsible for putting "Category: Hinduism" back into the Nataraja entry, and if you just reversed that I think I was hasty and must apologize. I did it because I could not your reasons. You know, Hinduism refers to the religion. Hindu refers both to the people and the religion. Yes, Nataraja belongs to the "Category: Hindu Tradition", I agree. Since Nataraja is a religious entry, I could not understand why "Category: Hinduism" should be removed. What are your ideas on it? --Subramanian 22:49, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC) Hello. I read your answer, thank you for it. I just checked and I saw that Nataraja is now under the Category "Concepts in Hinduism" - Nataraja is not a concept, but a Deity! Karma is a concept, dharma, chakras are concepts, but Nataraja is an Entity hindus believe - not an idea. I suggest we remove that and, as an appropriate settlement, we put Nataraja under the "Category: Hindu Tradition" and the "Category: Hinduism", so that readers can choose where to click. Would that be ok? Thanks. --Subramanian 04:45, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thnak you. It's good that we could come to an agreement :-) --Subramanian 20:35, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hindu temples?

Hi, I notice the Category:Hindu temples in Cambodia category which you've created. Most of the temples you added to the category are, to the extent that they are active temples, Buddhist (and have been for most of their history). To call them "Hindu temples" is therefore at best misleading. How about Category:Former Hindu temples in Cambodia? Any better ideas? Mark¹ 09:00, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

How about Hindu-Buddhist temples? Meursault2004 10:38, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Not sure...

Hi, and thanks for your interest in the enigmatic Heo Hwang-ok. I'm really not sure what comments you're talking about, although I vaguely recall having made some, somewhere. If you can give me a little context, I might be able to find them or remember them. ... The comments might have had something to do with my skepticism regarding her Indianness. I've never been able to figure out where the Ayuta=Ayodhya theory came from, although it has certainly become popular.

Anyway, happy editing, and let me know if there's anything I can help you with. Cheers! -- Visviva 13:37, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Kakawin Bharatayuddha

Yes I'll expand this article. But perhaps not today :) BTW the correct title would be Bharatayuddha (or more correctly Bhāratayuddha. How come do you spell it with an 'j' instead of 'y' do you happen to come from the Netherlands or Germany? Meursault2004 08:25, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Asian-Indian

People with original ancestry from India who live in America should call themselves Asian-Indians. I am not an Asian-Indian, but I was in a Hindu club (They are all Asian-Indians) for 5 seasons e.g. summer, fall. I was also in the American Indian club for 6 seasons. Both these groups like to call themselves Indian only and never use Asian Indian or American Indian to refer to themselves. These terms are a concession to the other group. They create order and unambiguity. I hope you see things my way. Dark Tichondrias

Labelling Edits as Vandalism

I noticed that you revised the article Morrigan Aensland due to vandalism. I have no problems with the revision, but please do not label edits as vandalism when they obviously are not. The edit you reverted was not vandalism, but another user's interpretation on how the article should look. --Js2756 13:28, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

Publisher = Label

I had never thought about that. I think publisher is what you write in label, but I'm not certain. The description of the record label section says, in resume, that the record label is a brand created by a company that can be associated with the artist. When I try to look on the web, publisher and label differ sometimes, but not always. It could be the name or logo you see on the cover even if it's not the publisher, but it's not certain. You should try asking someone else who knows more on the subject. --DarkEvil 13:49, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

Actually, I was hoping that someone else that would expand the Reamker article. But I will see what I can contribute. Check it in a few days or so. --Dara 22:12, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

Soul Calibur

I thought you might like to know something about the names you've been sorting with the Soul Calibur characters. In Asia, the last names come before the first names. So Chai Xianghua's last name is actually Chai, not Xianghua. Heishiro Mitsurugi's last name is Heishiro, and his first name is Mitsurugi. Hwang Sung Kyung's last name is Hwang, and his first name is Sungkyung. Seung Mi Na's last name is Seung, and her first name is Mina. For more information, it's strongly recommended that you see the discussion page for Seung Mi Na. So I'm going to change the category page you've worked on just for the Asian names, now that you know this. --Shackleton (24 July 2005)

Thank you, for 'cleaning up' the article. I want to know why we have still to keep it as a 'stub'. Is it not properly expanded now? How do you remove the 'stub'? Thanks again.--Profvk 21:14, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

This is profvk. Thank you for telling me about the stub. Well, regarding the Wikiproject-Hinduism, I am certainly interested. Just please give me some idea of my obligations, if I sign up.

Subramanian ideas exchange

First, I´d like to thank you for your efforts on organizing Hinduism as a whole in Wikipedia. You deserve the compliment. Second, as I just told Raj, the book Dancing With Siva mentions 50 Hindus in Brazil, but I´m yet to find the other 49.  :-) I went to India, with monks of the Saiva Siddhanta Church, to spend some time among other Hindus. Subramanian ^talk 21:44, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

We really need an History of Hinduism article. As we rewrite the main Hinduism article, I suppose one of its sections will be History, and there we could mention main article: History of Hinduism.

You see, I´ve noticed that here in Wikipedia Hindus very much like Hinduism: full of details and colors and information and myriadic opinions. People just see the articles and add information without any structure or care, and Hindu articles end up messier than a street in India. That´s why I appreciate someone restructuring it as you are doing. I hope we can build all this and then keep it all clean and useful. I´m glad you like History of Buddhism, I also find the Buddhist articles a very good ideal to strive for.

I checked Early Hinduism and Modern Hinduism. I agree that they should be merged, certainly; but the text is very fragmented and lacks organization. I´m sure that if you merge them it will evolve in due time.

I also agree that Topics in Hinduism is waaay too big. As I can´t convince people to trim it properly, I have created the Hinduism_small template.

Shanti, Subramanian ^talk

We could turn the sidebar into a footer, yes, but would people want it? I like the sidebar because it can be put at the beginning of the article; the footer has the advantage of doing no harm by being biggger, as it rests et the end of the article. I would prefer a shorter footer, but I wouldn´t drop the fast, small sidebar. Subramanian ^talk 16:09, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Here:

Subramanian ^talk 13:28, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Dangerous-Boy, vanakkam, I suggest that we trim the many links of the Links and of the See Also sections of the Hinduism rewrite. There are way too many links; each must be followed to see if there is good text at the other end of the trail. Also only articles on Hinduism should stay, articles on each other subsubject should be moved to their proper articles (such as links on saivism being moved to Saivism. You are good at organizing things, could you do that? Thanks, Subramanian ^talk 19:10, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

I don´t have either the time or the authority to check all of them. I trust you and whoever you want to ask for other opinions. I just ask you to keep in mind that links not directly on Hinduism should be in their own articles, i.e., a link to a good Saivite site should be in the Saivism article, not in the Hinduism main one. It´s in your hands. Subramanian ^talk 02:02, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Sure, I'd be glad to help with those articles and contrubute what I can, but currently I'm working on the Cambodia portal. Almost finish though, so as soon as I'm done with that.... --Dara 06:24, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

A tip

If you make a new article, you have to explain what it's about, like "blah is a soundtrack album from the anime blah". That might help stop hotheaded new page patrollers from Vfding them. Kappa 23:53, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Asia Vandalism

I thought he was a vandal because of this comment he left on Asia: "asia was seemingly invented by the middle eastern part of europe in the early 1000bc by persian tribes migrating east to get away from roman armies, mixing there language with ancient neolithic languages and new age persian. also forming a text by scribling, that no one can read." [2] That last comment about scribling is pure vandalism. As a result, I read his further edits from the POV of him being a vandal.--Alabamaboy 18:10, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

This guy seems to be regularly editing Asian, Asia, Asian American, Race (U.S. Census) and Indian American. Whether or not he's a vandal, he sure seems pretty over-zealous about it. It looks like he's here to 'enlighten' everybody with his copy of the 2000 Census... 213.210.13.209 00:55, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

I'll post something on his user talk page--I'd suggest others also do this. There needs to be consensus (see Wikipedia:Consensus) on a change like he's promoting. To get consensus, he needs to raise the issue on an article's talk page.--Alabamaboy 00:08, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

I have made some changes in History of Hinduism. Perhaps you can develop it further. Thanks.

Hi, I am not too sure how to go about it as well. But, I suspect that it involves a fair amount of research and putting the peices together as there may not be an authoritative, unbiased version of it (don't know). I like how IMC did the sati pages as it also has the same issues.. . I could not find a map but here are two sites that may help in making one, if you are interested: religion by country and create map. Good luck! --Pranathi 18:47, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Smarta tradition

Smarta tradition is quite prevalent and defines the Western view of Hinduism. It is dominated by Advaita traditions.

As I said in monotheism, "In Hinduism, views are broad and range from monism, dualism, pantheism, panentheism, alternatively called monistic theism by some scholars, and strict monotheism, but are not polytheistic as outsiders perceive the religion to be. Hinduism has often been confused to be polytheistic as many of Hinduism's adherents, i.e., Smartas, who follow Advaita philsophy, are monists, and view multiple manifestations of the one God or source of being. Hindu monists see one unity, with the personal Gods, different aspects of only One Supreme Being, like a single beam of light separated into colours by a prism, and are valid to worship. Some of the Hindu aspects of God include Devi, Vishnu, Ganesh, and Siva. It is the Smarta view that dominates the view of Hinduism in the West. After all, Swami Vivekananda, a follower of Ramakrishna, along with many others, who brought Hindu beliefs to the West, were all Smarta in belief. Other denominations of Hinduism, as described later, don't hold this belief strictly and more closely adhere to a Western perception of what a monotheistic faith is. Additionally, like Judaeo-Christian religions which believe in angels, Hindus also believe in less powerful entities, such as devas.

Contemporary Hinduism is now divided into four major divisions, Vaishnavism, Shaivism, Shaktism, and Smartism. Just as Jews, Christians, and Muslims all believe in one God but differ in their conceptions of him, Hindus all believe in one God but differ in their conceptions. The two primary form of differences are between the two monotheistic religions of Vaishnavism which conceives God as Vishnu and Shaivism, which conceives God as Shiva. Other aspects of God are in fact aspects of Vishnu or Shiva; see Smartism for more information. Only a Smartist would have no problem worshiping Shiva or Vishnu together as he views the different aspects of God as leading to the same One God. It is the Smarta view that dominates the view of Hinduism in the West. By contrast, a Vaishnavite considers Vishnu as the one true God, worthy of worship and other forms as subordinate. See for example, an illustration of the Vaishnavite view of Vishnu as the one true God, at this link. Accordingly, many Vaishnavites, for example, believe that only Vishnu can grant the ultimate aim for mankind, moksha. See for example, this link. Similarly, many Shaivites also hold similar beliefs, as illustrated at at this link and at this link.

However, even Vaisnavites, like other Hindus, have tolerance for other beliefs because Lord Krishna, avatar of Vishnu, said so in the Gita. Few views illustrate this view of tolerance: Krishna said: "Whatever deity or form a devotee worships, I make his faith steady. However, their wishes are only granted by Me." (Gita: 7:21-22) Another quote in the Gita states: "O Arjuna, even those devotees who worship other lesser deities (e.g., Devas, for example) with faith, they also worship Me, but in an improper way because I am the Supreme Being. I alone am the enjoyer of all sacrificial services (Seva, Yajna) and Lord of the universe." (Gita: 9:23) Even a Vedic verse illustrates this theme of tolerance. The Vedas are revered in Hinduism, regardless of denomination. For example, a well-known Rig Vedic hymn stemming from Hinduism states that "Truth is One, though the sages know it variously." This is in contrast with some beliefs of other religious traditions, where one must believe in God being one aspect and to totally reject or disdain other beliefs"

As you see, Vaishnavites and Saivites hold an exclusive monotheistic model versus an inclusive montheistic model as Smarta traditions do.

This is what I mean:

"Monotheism can be divided into different types on the basis of its attitude towards polytheism: inclusive monotheism claims that all polytheistic deities are just different names for the single monotheistic God; Smartism, a denomination of Hinduism, follows this belief and holds that God is one but has different aspects and can be called by different names (this belief dominate the view of Hinduism in the West); exclusive monotheism, on the other hand, claims that these deities are false and distinct from the one God, either invented, demonic, or simply incorrect, as Vaishnavism, a denomination of Hinduism, regards the worship of anyone other than Vishnu. Exclusive monotheism is a well-known tenet in the beliefs of the Abrahamic religions."

Please look at any Vaishnavie and Saivite site and you will see what I mean.

An adherent web site is not necessarily an authorative site. A book like "Dancing with Siva," which also describes the various denominations of Hinduism is. Please see, http://www.himalayanacademy.com/resources/books/dws/dws_mandala-02.html

Bin Qasim Article...

Can you stop editing the Bin-Qasim article, you clearly have no idea of what you're talking about. And your selective quoting on the article is extremely misleading, and could be considered vandalism, and an incitement to religious hatred. I have provided all my sources to my edits how about you do the same before you make another edit to the article? You clearly have lost your finger tip-grip on reality haven't you?

Southeast Asia

I noticed your work on Indonesia. We really need

1. a good article on the Spice Route

2. some generic articles that discuss processes like Indianisation across the current national boundaries.

3. a good article on Javanese mythology (especially the wayang) drawing similarities and distinctions between say Vishnu and Wisnu or the role of Tara as a source for various Javanese goddesses.

For the moment my concentration is on the history of Trebizond while I work up a complete list of Indianised kingdoms in Southeast Asia and maybe finish the generic article on Southeast Asian history.

Srivijayan Buddhism

The earliest inscription, at Kedukan Bukit in 682, speaks in Buddhist terms and earlier Chinese travellers had described it as a Buddhist kingdom. I'm not aware of any Hindu references for Srivijaya at all. Of course, Southeast Asian Buddhism and Hinduism were not mutually exclusive or opposed, as in the case of Kertanagara taking Sivabuddha as his posthumous title.

Re: Blue Mary

Concerning your query on my talk page, I don't understand why there would be Spanish quotes on the Blue Mary page and believe that it should go in the Spanish Wikipedia, with an interwiki link on the English page. I admit I don't know anything about Blue Mary and whether there's anything special that would make it be an exception. An interwiki link to another language Wikipedia goes at the bottom of the article and looks something like [[es:Maria Azul]] or whatever the name of the article over there would be. It then shows up on the left side (if you're using the default skin), like you've probably noticed in other articles. — Kbh3^rdtalk 03:55, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree. There have been useful edits between his two day spree as well. I was doing RC Patrol, so honestly, I don't know what really happened to the article. I guess a large rvv could work, but I honestly have no clue. I just saw him deleting large swatches of text. I think he was working on Tekkaman Blade II as well, but I don't know what he truly did. I do think all of his edits on Teknoman are reverted (except that last one), but... I... don't... know.

Okay, I see what you mean, considering how the two articles are almost exactly the same now. I think a simple redirect will do - most of the sections interlock, say the same thing... I will admit to knowing nothing about anime at all, to the point of having Template:user anime-0 on my User Page, but I think I'll support a redir/merge proposal on this one.

Which country are you from?

Hi Dangerous-Boy, you doing a great job at categorising Hinduism-realted articles. Keep it up! I'm just wondering that are you from Korea or Japan (judging from your interests). If so you may consider starting Hinduism in Korea or Hinduism in Japan. It would be greatly appreaciated! DaGizza ^Chat 01:46, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll have time to fix a lot of the edits soon, though I don't know whether Anonymous will come back to revert to his changes. Some of them don't make any sense at all (such as taking the link tags out of a link to Tekkaman Blade but leaving the text there - methinks that was part of his whole attempt to separate Teknoman and Tekkaman Blade into different pages.. a good idea but I'd prefer making Teknoman a footnote at the bottom of the Tekkaman Blade page, seeing as the original series merits more attention). Maybe if he registers with a nickname we can work out a compromise :P Don't suppose there's any way to get admins to help protect the page if Anonymous'es get vengeful and start vandalizing it out of spite? TKarrde 10:33, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

I think you can get him blocked if you want. There's a page on wikipedia to block vandals. I think think that teknoman should be mentioned at the end too and a tiny bit the first paragraph. The names changes list and episode list should stay in my opinion. Afterfall, without Teknoman, a lot of people wouldn't know about tekkaman blade. Good luck on your edits. --Dangerous-Boy 12:23, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Teknoman was actually how I got introduced to anime, so I'm a little biased whenever anyone asks which is my favorite. ;) I used to get up early on weekends with a bowl of cereal to catch episodes on UPN :P I'll have to wait until I get the night shift at work again (a few days) so I'll have plenty of time to sit around editing wikipedia, heh. And this method of carrying on a conversation could use some improvement (after all, I dunno when you'll check back here). I don't want to keep spamming up your talk page with copy-pasted duplicates of everything here :P TKarrde 12:30, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Racist anti-Indian vandal

• Cooliomccool has been vandalising India related pages since yesterday [3], [4], [5] . When i confronted him on his talkpage, he racially abused me [6]. Could you help me file an RfC on this?

Hindu mythology

Hello DB. What sort of help were you looking for exactly? I got a bit confused seeing a redirect; Hindu Myth --> Deities and Texts. Imc 23:21, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Hindu mythology

Thanks for the suggestion - actually I was thinking to join the project. I will try to give inputs, from time to time, to the best of my knowledge. --Bhadani 13:35, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Cultural Expansion of Hunduism in Southeast Asia Map

I have made the image and uploaded it for you, but am not entirely sure where to place it in the article. Image:Cultural expansion of Hinduism in Southeast Asia.png. If it needs any changes, just let me know. --ThrashedParanoid 01:37, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I've fixed the image so that the arrow goes from India to Indochina (thiland, laos, ect). Should I have put an arrow from northern India to Burma and Laos? See the image page, as I have already uploaded the fixed version. Also, since the page says Siam, should i put that instead of thailand? Should I put Vietnam's name?--ThrashedParanoid 18:51, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

No problem, if you should ever need a similar map, be sure to drop a message to me. --ThrashedParanoid 22:28, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Pegasus II

If you've got a moment, could you see if you have any suitable pictures of Pegasus II from Tekkaman Blade II you could add to the TBII page? I've written a small piece about it and figured it could do with a pic, but since I don't have my personal computer up and running yet I can't upload any pics myself. A mugshot of the original Pegasus could work, too, since they look so much alike. Thanks in advance :) TKarrde 18:56, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar

I, TKarrde, award you this Barnstar for your significant contributions of images promoting the overall quality of Wikipedia pages!

Thanks for all your help, particularly with the Tekkaman Blade II page - looking forward to collaborating with you further in the near future :) You rock man. TKarrde 14:48, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Hindu mythology

I will surely love to help in whatever way you may require. I think you are doing a good work. Apart from deities, other topics, which actually belong to mythology, may also be brought under Hindu mythology. But, opinions my differ from person to person. --Bhadani 12:20, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Indonesian Indian

So I just wrote Indonesian Indian. It is still a stub yet, however. Maybe you can expand, do some copyediting and proofreading. Meursault2004 21:43, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. Well the problem is that the division between Indians and Pakistanis is somewhat arbitraly. Many so-called Indonesian Pakistanis originally came from the area of present day India. So they are actually Indian Muslims. Perhaps you can edit and tweak this article a bit. Furthermore I don't have data yet about the number of Indians in Indonesia. There are at least 10 millions Indonesian Chinese but the number of Indians must be somewhat lower than that. Ok I will also expand later whenever I have more information.

dear dangerous, i wonder if you could write an article on Baba Lokenath, only the greatest saint of Bengal after Ramakrishna ? taxidrivers have his picture on their dashboards after all. I'd love to do it myself but i am an utter newbie,not to mention a wikiscript-illiterate.

Hello

Found your comments at Kargil War talk page and thanx for the nice words since I've been working to improve it. If you do feel it is a good article, you can nominate it for Wikipedia:Good articles, as self nominations by editors who've worked extensively on the article might not carry the same weightage. Tx and cheers. Idleguy 17:57, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Adding templates on talkpages

Hello. I see you've been adding various wikiproject templates to various articles lately, such as on Talk:May Lee (King of Fighters). I ask that you please don't make such additions unless the specified wikiproject has actually taken interest in that specific article because its very misleading to the members and editors. Another example would be some video game articles I've written - I'm no longer a part of the wikiproject pertaining to video games, and when I requested assistance from the other members, they did not take interest in the King of Fighters series. I mean not to be rude or anything, I'm just somewhat concerned as you seem to be adding these templates to pages without actually thinking about wether the project really takes interest in it or not. That said, welcome to wikipedia, and its very nice to have your aquintance. Please do not hesitate to leave a message on my talkpage for any reason. -Zero^Talk 11:56, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

On another note, I see you've been changing the category to reflect the character's last name in ordering sequence. While being a japanese game, this is factually incorect, as this is the English wikipedia, and hence categorization is by American standards of names (First name, last name). Henceforth, I'm going to revert your recent category changes in the meantime. Please see me on my talkpage if you have any qualms about this. -Zero^Talk 20:04, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

about archiving pages:

It is simple:create a new page or a article by name "talk archive"and edit your present talk page and cut all comments and paste in the talk archive page. Next:you give a link to the talk archive page on your fresh talk page.--Jayanthv86 03:49, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Hello

I found your name at wiki-project:hinduism, and was hoping you might weigh in at Talk:Human, where a more diverse perspective is needed. Thanks, Sam Spade 16:07, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't work quite the way you think

See the Wikiproject:computer and video games for details. Just because an editor agrees with you and makes an statement on the talkpage, that is not concensus, nor is it an green light for you to chnage the cats while without continuing discussion.

You may also note that a fellow user said that it up to I to utilize my judgement in this case of categorizing, so we're not better off. The discussion you pointed to in on the talkpage does not contain an established desision and is listed nowhere in the list of comments constructed by the involved parties.

However the articles I constructed are also not even an part of the computer and video games wikiproject, so they may not be considered in your favor at all. In the meantime, I'm going to change the (KOF) cats to the oringinal format upon their creation, and I've posted an admeddum on the wikiproject talkpage. -Zero^Talk 06:47, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I've posted an admedeum concerning the categorization here. -Zero^Talk 07:00, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I've read the points surfaced by other editors in regards to the categorization. I agree with, and strongly support these points, and I'm glad I finally understand what this really amounted to. I hope I didn't offend you in my request for explanation and summary. I look foward to you categorizing my articles as I make them. -Zero^Talk 18:36, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I've constructed a great deal of new articles here. -Zero^Talk 19:14, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
