Regarding your edits to Laloo Prasad Yadav

edit
While I respect the fact that you clearly have a great deal of admiration for a significant political figure like Laluji (to some extent, I admire him too), don't you think that your recent edits are a bit hagiographic? For instance, some of his actions "as railway minister" don't pertain to the railway at all. Plus, Laluji is such a significant political figure who has done so many things (good and questionable) that chronicling all of his activities will make the article needlessly large. Won't it be better to selectively edit the article to make it representative of Laluji's career? What do you think?Hkelkar 20:06, 6 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
You have been answered here and here.From next time always put the discussion on article's talk page only .Putting same discussion on two places is considered unfair.Take care. HW  09:16, 7 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Your edits in Bhumihar

edit

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia; it is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Please understand that this is NOT real life. This is an encyclopedia. I do not mean to offend you but it seems that you have complexes and that is why you are slandering upper castes. In future, try to be constructive. I am not awaiting any reply or an explanation. And I suppose you are not allowed to remove warnings and ban templates as you have done. If you have too much time to spend then use it to 'better the wikipedia®. ♔BADMIN♛ (आओ✍) 16:07, 11 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

It has been brought to my attention that you're still acting in an incivil manner. If you make further incivil remarks toward another editor, you may be blocked without further warning. Please work toward advancing your points in a dispassionate and professional manner. Thanks in advance. El_C 10:14, 20 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

I would like your intervention into the case.Plz take a look at the article itself ,how both of them has dubiously distorted the facts in the artocle like replacing CPI(Marxist) with Maoist and Votebank as Votebanal and mnay such mischiefs would you like to see that. Ikon |no-blast 10:18, 20 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
As long as you remain civil, that's fine. The "CPM has intensely lobbied to legitimize madrassa "education" in West Bengal. That smacks of vote bank politics" — sounds like uncited original research. It makes much more sense that the CPI, being the sellouts that they are, engage in such votebank practices. Anyway, I'll try to have a closer look at it tommorow. Please keep your cool till then. El_C 10:31, 20 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
Next time onward you repeat the incivil clause,be sure to cite diffs too,for I am feeling sick of these unfounded accusations.I have already brought to your notice how unreliable these ppl are.check my archive for that matter.

No credible source till date has accused CPI or CPM of practising votebank politics infact a citation with statement clearly bearing similar connotations is already there.Trying to discover votebank of left parties would be OR as per WP:NOR. Ikon |no-blast 10:58, 20 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

No argument with that. But regardless of this specific content item, both parties need to realize that if they want me to look into the conduct matter (spanning several articles), they need to present a clear, concise, and well-documented account. I simply cannot spare the time to go through entire articles, talk pages/archives, et cetera. Individual diffs need to be cited alongside pertinent summaries.

Personal attack

edit
Since the issue over Votebank is a content dispute, not a vandalism case, a bogus vandalism tag is a personal attack.

Please do not make personal attacks on other people. Wikipedia has a policy against personal attacks. In some cases, users who engage in personal attacks may be blocked from editing by administrators or banned by the arbitration committee. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Please resolve disputes appropriately. Thank you. diff: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AHkelkar&diff=77888456&oldid=77868052 Hkelkar 12:00, 26 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Well if one looks at the last sentence of ikonoblast's version of the article here. One sees the following thing:

.

A patently false claim which he backs up using this article: http://www.himalmag.com/2004/may/commentary_4.htm

The article is fine, but it does not mention anything about CPM not having a vote bank. Point of fact, this sentence from the article:

suggests that they DO have an ideological vote bank. Thus, the citation is false. The other issues are between ikonoblast and gamesmasterg9 and I am not involved.Hkelkar 12:56, 5 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Project News
  • Name change of cities in Karnataka: A straw poll was conducted on the proposal to change the name of cities in Karnataka, per the Nov 1, 2006 decision by the Karnataka government to rename them from the current anglicised forms. The result of the poll was to change the names. As controversial as the decision may be in the real world, the article Bangalore in Wikipedia still reflects the old name. You may be interested in knowing why. Dig the archives.
  • New Project Noticeboard (Shortcut:WP:INB): WikiProject India now sports a new colourful centralised noticeboard. An effort to make the noticeboard current and dynamic was mooted a few days back, and Ganeshk came up with the new format. The new noticeboard will strive to be the one-stop shop for all project related information. The shortcut is WP:INB.
  • Members List: The old members list is being phased out to give way for the new members list. New members are requested to add their names to the new members list. As the newsletter grows, further issues of the Project Newsletter will be delivered to those enlisted in the new list. So dash down now, to check if ur name is in there.

  • Welcome to the December 2006 edition of our newsletter. Time flies past like matter into the black hole. It is interesting to notice that we are already into the last month for the year of 2006. 2006 saw discussions and development beyond realisation. In the world of Wikipedia where quality counts than quantity, we have come a long way. We've made better than 'nothing', to say the least, and even that is an achievement. I take this opportunity to thank everyone including those who have dotted the i's and crossed the t's.

Yadav page information

edit

Ikon, I have only now received your messages on my talk page, I did not know of its existence before. Clearly, I am learning the ropes here and time constraint does not permit quick learning. Anyway, my message concerns our discussion so far. I am not sure if you are seriously interested in presenting correct (to the best of our knowledge) info or you are here with an agenda, such as you are a Yadav and do not want to portray unfavorable info on the page. If you are sincere, and have an honest interest in presenting correct information, then I am not sure why you do not understand my point. I will try to explain again:

The yadav page says that Yadav are a Kshatriya caste. All published journal articles disagree with this. I have provided some references and you can see. The references on the Yadav page currently are unrelaiable as I have discussed in the postings. I find that you do not answer my questions, try to wiggle out of answering by levelling false charges, and are very rude. In your last action, you removed the references that I had provided without any reason. They were provided because they contradicted directly the information on the Yadav page, and yet you say they are not relevant. No reference on the Yadav page is as credible as the ones I had provided. All these things make me wonder about your motives for being here.

I want to enjoy Wikipedia in cooperation with everyone. My objective is to present correct information. My interest in caste issues is only academic. I have said all this as I feel that maybe there has been some misunderstanding. Although I feel that you accused me wrongly and were very rude, and should apologize. In any case, that is your problem. If you still insist on creating problems for my work here, then I will have to take actions. Maybe not immediately, but I am here for a long time. You have a choice at this time. Finally, if you had not been rude, I would not be writing here as my interest in Wikipedia was fleeting. Now I want to have some more fun. Happy learning! Try to be nice to others, you don't have to pay for it.
