Welcome!! --Gurubrahma 11:20, 4 November 2005 (UTC) re: Advaita Vedanta editI haven't worked on that article much except for grammatical corrections.

Also note that the template is required only for those articles where text support is required to read Indic words. For ex. the India article does not require the template even though it has Indic words. Thanks --Deepak|वार्ता 22:14, 4 November 2005 (UTC) India edits editHi! Welcome to wikipedia.

Please use Edit summaries to let us know what changes you've made to the text. Matters are sorted out amicably on wikipedia through the article talk and user talk pages. There isn't really a need to meet each other. And you can sign your posts with four tildes that's ~~~~. Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 12:07, 5 November 2005 (UTC) Removed some text editHi. I removed a paragraph from the AIT article, because I thought that the writing style in articles should be a bit more "encyclopedic". I hope you understand. --Machaon 01:23, 20 November 2005 (UTC) Ashwamedha editYour edits on the Ashwamedha article have been reverted. Please find some references about the disputed nature of the procedure of the sacrifice to support your edits, to prevent reverts in future. Thanks. deeptrivia 19:36, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
Philosophy editSeeing as you have studied hindu philosophy you might be interested in contributing in Wikipedia:WikiProject Philosophy/geographic divisions. It needs someone that can speak confortably to both Eastern and western philosophy. Regards--Pranathi 20:31, 4 December 2005 (UTC) INSA editHey Magicalsaumy, what's your dep.?
Hi. I noticed that you modified the list of letters and phonemes so that the t sound is described as "dental". I had earlier asked a question on the discussion page about whether the Latin t is dental, since it is dental in all daughter languages. Do you know of any reference that would say whether the sound is alveolar or dental? --Siva 21:23, 18 December 2005 (UTC) Nath Sampradaya editIt can be noted that the section related to Nath sampradaya in the stub hindu can be expanded more. Like the navanath sampradaya and the tantric sect within it. 1 Your thoughts. --Aravind Parvatikar 09:28, 26 December 2005 (UTC) Arbcom candidate userbox editGreetings. I've made a new userbox for arbcom candidates to show on their userpages so that visiters will know they're running.
If you'd like to place it on your userpage, feel free. Regards, – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 02:22, 11 January 2006 (UTC) Arbitration committee elections editHi, you are currently standing in the Arbitration Committee elections. If you aren't already aware, you are only attracting a vote of under 20% support to 80% oppose. This is mostly due to perceptions of a lack of experience. Statistically, your vote is unlikely to rise above a 70-80% supermajority threshold required for election. Therefore, it would be helpful if you would withdraw your candidacy from the election. This way there will be less candidates for others to read through before deciding their votes. The best place to announce such a decision would be on your candidate statement on the vote page, or on WP:AN/I, IF you choose to withdraw. Better luck for the future. --Victim of signature fascism | help remove biblecruft 19:12, 15 January 2006 (UTC) Regarding Seeking Homer editThe vandalism type message that I sent to 202.68.145.230 was regarding This edit, removing the article.

deeptrivia (talk) 18:25, 10 February 2006 (UTC) / spaces / editHey, I was wondering why you prefer the spaces with the brackets/slashes in IPA transcriptions. You say it's so that it's for visual clarity but I've never noticed any characters looking confusing with the slashes or brackets next to them. Can you provide examples?

Greetings editHoli greetings. --Bhadani 13:42, 14 March 2006 (UTC) Aupmanyav editFor the moment I am learning how to deal with Wikipedia and no more edits before I get the hang of things (I am not an IITian). I still do not agree that Hinduism is Aryan, it is indigenous, it accepted some and vanquished other Aryan beliefs (As I have mentioned on my page, Daksha yagna was the climactic, Pukha with his broken teeth must have looked very funny). Advaita does not believe in God (because 'Sarvam Khalvidam Brahma'). Buddha remains a Vishnu avatar, like it or not. Though, IMHO, we should give as little info about Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism. Let them do it. It makes our pages heavier. Another matter, there is a profusion of Hindu pages, I think, we should concentrate on the important ones, and take the rest only when we have done the work there. Last thing, rather than corresponding with each other individually, is there not a way where hindu people serious about hindu pages could gather and discuss things? Thanks for the labels for which somebody made the initial entry and the method I picked from your page (I would not add many but I like clean linear inserts, so I used a table). Making progress. Best wishes for your exams (or are they over?).

Ideally something suitable for moderately advanced introductory teaching like a cultural topic or something. The spoken template on the Hindi article links back to the English spoken articles, so I couldn't immediately see if there were more already. - Taxman Talk 20:26, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Saw your contributions at Indian Institutes of Technology. Thanks for contributing. I wanted to discuss your postings. After reading it, I found it having a very strong POV: The skills tested by a subjective test can never be tested effectively through a multiple choice objective test (where luck also plays an important role). As for the so-called stress—a student who has never undertaken the JEE-type stress before in his life can never bear the stress of the high-level engineering courses within the IITs. Also, your speculation that quota will never be implemented in also a POV. The statement that most of the students have critisized the change in pattern is also something that will be frowned upon as lacking in resources and since I believe there is no official survey, we may have to delete the paragraph if we want to go ahead and make it a brilliant prose. I have seen many of your contibutions in Hindi Wikipedia and hope that you contribute equally to English Wikipedia also. So keep up the good work. -Ambuj Saxena (talk) 04:21, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
I have done it already :). Please review it and feel free to comment. -Ambuj Saxena (talk) 13:29, 26 March 2006 (UTC) Criticism in Hinduism editCygnus_hansa: I have written a write-up on that.

If you are can you copy paste the block message here and we'll take a look at it. Thanks! -- Tawker 08:25, 11 April 2006 (UTC) The Message that I have got was :
My defence is: I am aboslutely innocent, having done no vandalism. And I know that I have not been blocked, my IP 59.163.25.48 has been blocked. The IP that has been blocked in actually the common proxy server (netmon.iitb.ac.in) for all the students of the rather prestigious Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. All the students here need to pass through this proxy server to access the internet. Some mischevious students might have been indulging in Vandalism anonymously (regretfully). I suggest two solutions: If possible, please keep the IP blocked for anonymous users, but allow registered users using this same IP to continue normally. If this is not possible, please unblock the whole IP immediately, because I have no other choice and I am rather an active member of wikipedia community. Cygnus_hansa 08:49, 11 April 2006 (UTC) It's been dealt with. I've marked the talk page of that IP address to encourage shorter block durations in the event of continued vandalism (see user talk:59.163.25.48). — Apr. 11, '06 [11:08] <freakofnurxture|talk> First of all I have renamed the page, and secondly, I am aghast by your style of writing--this is not the way to write an article, and thirdly, please don't write naïvish articles. You write things only half-half, with partial info and create disastrous articles, spreading misinformation. Cygnus_hansa 13:27, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Atheism and Hinduism editSPEAKING TREE - Times of India The core of Hindu scriptural tradition, it is commonly thought, is all about theism or belief in God. But that is a huge misconception. Even disregarding the ‘heterodox’ streams like the charvaks, with their underlying message of materialist hedonism, or Buddhism, the philosophical canon — call it higher Hinduism — leaves plenty of room for dissent even on a question as central as the existence of God. Indeed, the reason why some schools of darshana — Purva and Uttar Mimansa, Sankhya and Yoga, Nyaya and Vaisheshika — are regarded as ‘orthodox’ and others such as Jainism, Buddhism and Charvaks are not, has little or nothing to do with a belief in God. The real point of departure is whether or not a particular system of thought accepts the Vedas as the ultimate source of philosophical authority. The so-called orthodox schools do — even though it has been convincingly argued that this acceptance is more notional than real — while the other three don’t. Significantly, the original meanings of the terms astika and nastika, too, hinge on this vital difference. While the astikas believe in the veracity and infallibility of the Vedas, the nastikas clearly don’t. Among the astikas, the two oldest schools — Sankhya and Purva Mimansa — strongly refute the theory of God. Thus, the source book for Sankhya darshan, Ishwar Krishan’s Sankhya Karika, is full of subtle arguments which reject the possibility of there being an all-powerful creator and controller of the world. Vigyan Bhikshu’s Sankhya Pravachna Bhashya makes a case for why a belief in the divine principle is unwarranted. Even Kapila’s classic treatise on the subject, which is far less emphatic in its rejection of God, finds it unnecessary to accept any theistic assumptions. Similarly, Purva Mimansa has a strong element of disbelief at its core. Jaimini’s Mimansa Sutra, the founding text, is mostly preoccupied with proving the efficacy and power of Yagna (or sacrificial fire) but shies away from attributing it to any divinity. Instead, in common with latter Mimansakas like Kumarila, Jaimini takes delight in rejecting the God hypothesis. In Yoga — beginning with Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra — which is widely regarded as theistic in nature, the acceptance of God is, in part, purely verbal. In large areas of practical reasoning, God is happily overlooked, if not consciously ignored. In Nyaya, the quint-essential Indian tradition of formal logic, there is an attempt to prove, as in Jayanta Bhatt’s Nyaya Manjari, the existence of God, but such arguments are far from being universally accepted. The only ‘God-fearing’ candidate among the orthodox schools is perhaps Uttar Mimansa, of which Shankara’s advaita or vedantic philosophy is the best known example. But, contrary to received wisdom, Shankara was never accepted, either by his contemporaries or latter-day thinkers, as the be all and end all of Indian thought. It was only in the 19th century, thanks to the need of the native intellectuals to create the image of an ‘essentially’ spiritual India as opposed to an equally materialist West, that Shankara’s advaita came to be regarded as the pinnacle of Indian philosophical achievement. Interestingly, atheism in the Indian tradition is not necessarily premised on a prior acceptance of materialism, either in the philosophical or everyday sense. All the atheistic schools mentioned above, even when they reject God, accept the existence of a permanent soul (atman), which is quite distinct from corporeal or physical reality. If anything, Indian atheism — except in the case of the charvaks — is strongly anti-materialistic in character. Aupmanyav 18:11, 2 May 2006 (UTC) Hi!

Hinduism editPlease check in Hinduism/Discussion/Etymology. I would like to have your opinion. Aupmanyav 14:29, 22 May 2006 (UTC) नमस्कार! I think in the future there will be problems with pages like these. A policy needs to be created.

anti-reservation protests editHey Magicalsaumy. Why did you remove the events in many cities from the article. Isn't this article supposed to be primarily for describing the protests? I'm sure there must be a good reason, so let me know. deeptrivia (talk) 06:00, 25 May 2006 (UTC) Oh..okay. I've put it back. Thanks! deeptrivia (talk) 06:04, 25 May 2006 (UTC) I also have issues with your editing of the article. You claim to keep a NPOV, but your editing is extremely anti-reservationist. In addition, your description of the caste system is far too emotional for an article like this. I am not attempting to get into an ideological battle here, and I personally am against reservations as well as all affirmative action. However, especially considering that this is an article concerning current political issues, we must keep a level head and remain detached. You can be an excellent asset to improving this article, especially considering your Indian residence and alma mater at IIT. I would like to cooperate with you in bringing this article to a more neutral POV. Thank you, Syckls 06:12, 25 May 2006 (UTC) I'm glad you agree. I have already done work on "Vote-bank", and I leave the rest either to you or to another day. It's 3 AM and I really shouldn't be up this late with a presentation in the morning -_- Syckls 07:11, 25 May 2006 (UTC) Vandalism - User talk:202.68.145.230 editHi there I have checked the page... it appears that this IP is shared by many users. This is common, and so you may well have received a message from me from that IP. That does not mean you did it (and I'm sure you are 100% innocent), but that someone else did. I simply sent the message so that if someone was sitting at a terminal, he may well see it and stop his bad behaviour. Here is a link to the difference between the versions [4]. It obviously needed to be reverted. Sorry if you got the message: these things happen. Do not worry if you did not do it! There is nowhere near enough evidence to enforce a block: because this IP is assigned to various people, blocking can only be allowed in cases where the vandalism occurs within a short amount of time, and then the block will only be for a few hours. Hopefully he/she will give up! Remember, Be Bold and happy editing! -- Chris Lester talk 17:55, 27 May 2006 (UTC) Don't worry! editDon't worry - I'm not an admin... Blocking policy usually means that if the incident of vandalism occurs within, say, an hour, a block of about three hours is generally sufficient. I understand your position, here in South Africa, we have the same problem as well. You can always use the unblock tag to explain the situation, and someone should unblock. -- Chris Lester talk 18:21, 27 May 2006 (UTC) Reservation in India editI replied to your message on my talk page siddharth 04:22, 30 May 2006 (UTC) IIT article editHi, Most of your edits were pretty muck "ok" apart from the fact that the language was a bit un-encyclopedic with constructs like "This is obvious", etc. I have copyedited it. The only place where I found too much POV problem was the phrase "..free from the slow and painful bureaucracy which hampers progress in the rest of the Indian universities". Check out the rest of my copyediting also. In the context of education ranking, I moved your argument down where it has been discussed centrally. BTW, I was not aware that I am "notorious". I keep a watch on almost discussions going around and I never found someone complaining about POV problems with me (of course you have to ignore those who come and vandalize Arjun Singh's article). Regards, -Ambuj Saxena (talk) 11:47, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
I am not against making generalized statements, I am just against generalized statements with a POV (like "...However, it is unlikely that it will actually be implemented. Indeed, such things are more of political stunts so common in the Indian politics."). Please go through the FAC of IIT and you will understand how minutely the article is scrutinized. Or just see Spangineer's or Taxman's edit to know how thoroughly FAs are supposed to be scrutinized. Ever heard of Tony. We should try and follow his examples as to how to write encyclopedic articles. Hence, I beg to disagree with regard to POV check which I feel should be there in every sentence and the article as a whole (to find out systematic biases, if any). I believe these differences will exist till we mature enough in our Wiki-experiences. I sincerely hope that this difference of opinion does not become an edit-conflict in the future. Hopefully with the help of links I have given in this message, you will understand why I am so "fussy" about language. You might not be knowing that the IIT article had to wait so long because everyone who commented about it said its one good copyedit away from an FA and the language of article was so "poor" (yes, even my fussiness is considered below par) that it was a challenge for people to do it and the article was stagnant in its position for a long time. I personally contacted many people to copyedit it but hardly anyone replied. Eventually, with Nirav's help, I got the article submitted for FAC where it was shredded into pieces by Spangineer. Thankfully he agreed to copyedit it and now the article is all set to pass the FAC. Regards, -Ambuj Saxena (talk) 19:46, 30 May 2006 (UTC) You have been made admin on Hindi Wikipedia. Please note that I am not at all active on Hindi Wikipedia now and not very active here either. If required, I will also give up my bureaucrat status. I admire your enthusiasm for the project.

Cheers! --Just my 2 cents -- Hemanshu 19:41, 31 May 2006 (UTC) Hindi Wikipedia editHi, The page now looks great. Now that there is a way to get things done (an active admin), I will seriously consider giving more time for Hindi Wikipedia. I think we need to create a centralized "To-Do" list for Hindi Wikipedia that we all can jointly work on to share the burden. Specifically, Hindi Wikipedia lacks a lot of templates that need to be added so that the system works properly. Keep in touch. -Ambuj Saxena (talk) 07:52, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Looks good. My only suggestions are add the English Wikipedia to the over 100,000 section at the bottom, remove the IE only recommendation. The page should either work on Firefox or not have that warning. As a free project it should work on free software, but if it doesn't there's no need to discourage people pointing that out so that it can be fixed by someone able. Also the tops of the boxes don't line up in IE, if possible, it would look much better if they did, and the boxes that are next to each other having some whitespace padding or whatever to make them the same height would be good too. - Taxman Talk 14:11, 3 June 2006 (UTC) Romani in Devanagari editDear Magicalsaumy, thanks a lot for your help and encouragement. Indeed, I used till now "ज़" for "z" and, as you said, the variant with "स" makes more sense (the transcriptions for the other sounds is good also). I don't know exactly the steps to make them official, maybe by including in Unicode these new letters. I presume this is important for "स" variant (as a way to include it officially in Devanagari keyboards) and also for "श" with a dot below. Me too, I considered the best option "श" with a dot below, but, until now, I used simple "श" because I don't know how to include it in the Devanagari keyboards or in the Java application from Hindi Wikipedia (the means I use to write Devanagari). In the next few weeks I will not have too much time to work on-line, so you might get some delays for possible replies. I hope in the future I will have more time to discuss with you about the Hindi neologisms for Romani. Looking forward for a fruitful collaboration, regards, Desiphral 13:49, 3 June 2006 (UTC) Hindi Toolbox editHi, The new toolbox is a lot better. However, since I prefer using external software, it really doesn't matter to me. BTW, I think you missed one important मात्रा. The "Ru" as in म in मृत्यु. Regards, -Ambuj Saxena (talk) 19:57, 3 June 2006 (UTC) Good work at Hindi Wiki editI saw MediaWiki:Edittools and the Guidelines page. You have done a great job! The most important character now added in the edittools in the viram. Without the viram I had to write with other programs before. There is just one thing which I slightly disagree with in your guidelines. You said that the names of the templates should be in English but I think that the Hindi Wikipedia should be as independant from the English as it can. It is more difficult to write Hindi with a computer of course but we should retain as much Hindi and move away from English. We are very behind the English Wiki but my dream is that one day we have more articles and feature articles than the English. Bhagavan will help us! Bharat became independant from Britain more than 50 years ago but the Indian Wikipedians are still not independant from the English-pedia. I hope it is changed by 15 August this year. जै हिन्द !

He accuses me of spamming, whereas I am myself an administrator at the Hindi wikpedia. Hindi wikipedia is in terrible need of more article (currently it has under 1400 !). People in India (Hindi speakers) cannot type in Hindi--they use English keyboards, and know not how to contribute. I was giving them a sample of instructions how to contribute, etc. I have not spammed at all. I have sent messages to Native and high-level speakers of Hindi, most of whom, I know pretty well; all these messagings were absolutely manual, I swear. Kindly unblock me immediately.Cygnus_hansa 03:18, 6 June 2006 (UTC) Explanation editBecause you did not stop when you were asked to stop, you have been blocked for three hours. It is suspected, in fact, that you were using an unauthorised bot to make edits faster than a human could; this is a serious offense and can lead to disciplinary measures. DS 03:18, 6 June 2006 (UTC) Okay editNow that I have your attention, I would like you to please read these policies here. I concede that you meant well; however, you were going about it poorly. Unauthorized bot use is a drain on the project's resources, after all. You will be unblocked in a few minutes. DS 03:25, 6 June 2006 (UTC) A suggestion editI would also like to suggest that, instead of pasting in the entire document about how to contribute to the Hindu Wikipedia, you simply create User:Magicalsaumy/Instructions on Typing in Devanagari, or some such name, and direct people to it. This will be much more efficient. I will now unblock you. DS 03:35, 6 June 2006 (UTC) Invitation to contribute to hindi wikipedia editHi. Thanks for leaving the invitation on my talk page. But I don't feel comfortable enough in typing in Devanagari script. (For that matter, I am even interested in contributing to the Bengali wiki, but the script problem is preventing me). So, I am sorry to say that I wont be able to contribute much to the articles there. But, if required, feel free to buzz me for any translation or policy discussions. --soumসৌমোyasch 05:57, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Your spam editI have reverted your talk-page spam. I notice you have already been blocked for it; take this as a warning. If you spam like this again, you may find yourself under harsher penalty. I also notice above that you try to justify your actions; you claim to have targeted only Hindi speakers (wrong; I don't know a single word of it), and you claim that it is not spam because the Hindi Wikipedia needs editors (a non-sequitur fallacy). No matter what your intentions, never ever spam talk pages like that again. – Timwi 12:42, 6 June 2006 (UTC) Situation editI unblocked you after about 25 minutes.

Hey Magicalsaumy. Congrats for admission into UIUC. I also just realized that you've done a big amount of work on Hindi grammar, which definitely deserves appreciation. Also, I was wondering how wikipedia can be more popularized in India, especially the vernacular language versions. If you divide the number of articles in a given language wikipedia by the number of speakers of that language, I'm sure the Hindi wikipedia will be right at the bottom. Something needs to be done about it. A few months ago, I spammed many Hindi blogs (yeah, there are people who blog in Hindi regularly) asking them to contribute on Hindi wikipedia, but it didn't really help. I think all Indian wikipedians should find out ways to promote wikipedia in India, and probably college campuses will be a good place to start.

Characters on MediaWiki editHi Cygnus, I have no idea how IPA or IAST charaters work! Nonetheless, if the task is simple I can do it. There may be better alternatives, such as asking on the MediaWiki_talk:Edittools page. Also I have a request for the "Guide to writing in Hindi" page. We should state which english Hindi Wiki will follow, British or American. Eg. New pronounced as न्यू or नू, answer pronounced as आन्सर or ऐन्सर etc.? Request editI think I've done it. Please confirm. GizzaChat © 11:56, 13 July 2006 (UTC) Aupmanyav editHi, Cyrus Mr. Aupmanyav seems to believe that atheism is a Hindu view, which I strongly disagree.

It might not be your subject, but if you look at the discussion here (it's mainly about the difference between "inherited" and "borrowed" lexicon, applicable to any language), you will be able to form an opinion and maybe help me. If you know some other qualified wikipedians, I'd be glad if you could point this page out to them. Thanks, Krankman 14:45, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Dates at Hindi Wikipedia editI am little bit confuse with the use of dates in hindi wikipedia. What is the standard? You suggest to use english numbers (1,2,3..) instead of hindi (१,२,३..), and write dates as 2 मई 2006. In signatures, timestamp is still formatted using hindi numbers (e.g. ०३:५९, २६ जून २००६ (UTC)). There are pages for the years with hindi numbers like २००३, मार्च ८ etc. Could you clarify please. Personally, I am with you about using dates with english numbers. Do we need a general discussion with other sysops too?
Thanks for clarifying. I am in favor of using international format. Can you please stress more on this point in your suggestions. I will work on making the pages according to international format.

I support this and is logical. Please treat it as high priority and make the change. Also, you seem to be the only active admin of the Hindi wikipedia. Lets have a chat/meet with other active contributors and sysops. I can work towards having a formal agenda. Let me know if it is possible. Palatalized letters in Devanagari editHi! I'm wondering which would be the best way to write palatalized sounds in Devanagari. A user from Slovakia wants to put local placenames in Devanagari text at the Romani Wikipedia and he needs to write IPA "lʲ" and IPA "tʲ". And in the future I suppose that users from Spain and Hungary would need letters for "nʲ" and "gʲ". The single standing letter being "ञ", the only idea I have to write other palatalized consonants is to add "य़" or simply "य", writing ल्य़, त्य़. What do think about it? Thanks, Desiphral-देसीफ्राल talk-फेन मा 20:36, 1 August 2006 (UTC) Danda issue editFor Wikipedias in Devanagari or any Indian script for that matter, should the "danda" ie) full stop have a space preceding it?

the "z" in Devanagari editHello, in your proposed transliteration scheme from Roman to Devanagari, you stated that the ज़ should technically be a स़. However, is the latter ever used or is it something that you created? If it isn't used very much then it shouldn't be used on Wikipedia. Though I realise the "z" sound is closer linguistically to the "s," in many dialects of Hindi, the English z is pronounced exactly like a j. eg. sight najar, subjee On another note, Hindi Wiki has 3000 article! When Jimbo recently went to an Indian Wikimeet, he address the slow growth of Indian languages. Now Bengali and Kannada Wikis have 10000 articles.

This is a short gist of the discussions going on in the above mentioned talk links: Having a separate "Notes" (for explanatory remarks) and "Citations" (for direct citations), although permitted, is relatively rare in Wikipedia, and also in academic journals. The main rationale behind doing this is to distinguish a series of explanatory remarks from the series of citations (please see Rabindranath Tagore, Demosthenes for examples). This sandbox gives a glimpse of how the article would look if we split the sections (the sandbox is under work, so may not be perfect). This link shows how the article looks with combined section. This may give an idea how it looked when I started working on references. I converted many references to Harvard format, apart from splitting the sections. Opinion for regular editors are sought regarding the application of splitting of two section for this article.

I've been blocked before for edit-warring recently, so I don't want this to be another incident on my record. Anyway, the other editor seemed to have asked his friend-type editors to form a consensus, so I will do the same. The Islamic connection here is, Al-Haytham. He is FUNDAMENTAL to the telescope and the FATHER of optics.
