Misplaced Pages

I reserve the right to disappoint you.

Proposing a change at WikiProject India

Hi,

I'm proposing a major change related to WikiProject India. I'm trying to build a consensus. Your suggestions/views/ideas are very much valued. Please talk about it here. Cheers. -- Chez • 06:07, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the information. If possible I shall surely give my inputs. --Bhadani 10:46, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thank you for the wishes, Bhadaniji! I hardly realised a year had passed. But as Robert Frost reminds me through your user page, I have miles and miles to go before I sleep. Cheers!--thunderboltz 14:41, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Let me search a little more to know about Hindi Misplaced Pages. --Bhadani 21:06, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Karma in Hinduism

Bhadani, People keep on insisting that Hinduism's view of karma is not different from Buddhism. I say a central role for Hindus is believing that God has a role in karma. Please contribute here at http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Priyanath#God_as_Divine_Accountant

Thanks for your help!

Thanks, Bhadani

your recent post regarding the wikitravel link

Reference

Well here is the justification..For example I went to the Grand Canyon page on wikipedia which is probably the best example of a tourist destination..and in the external links section they have a wikitravel link. That would be very natural because once a visitor has learned more about Grand Canyon at wikipedia he would probably like to get travel related details that he can find at wikitravel. Hence the link and hence the importance. And then if you do the same for the Taj Mahal you would essentially do it for every tourist destination in India. How would you decide to keep it limited? And how does that mean to be promotional in any way? You have not given any justification for that. I dont think wikitravel is promotional, or linking to it being promotional in any way.

Also, Indore at wikitravel is an empty page and so is Taj Mahal at wikitravel. But I still linked it. I presume that would mean that those pages at wikitravel will have to be written at some point in time too, even though they are empty right now. Let me know if I'm wrong. The reason why I started out doing this is becuase it was my first time editing at wikipedia and I thought it would be the easy things to do before going on to do something harder. Its like getting yourself familiar and getting your feet wet. I thought that in the process I would also get familiar with what all the pages look like right now. And please dont think that I would be playing wicked games here, because its my valuable time here before anything else. In any case, I guess you are the admin here and in all seriousness you can decide on what I have written above and let me know if it still needs to be discontinued and that it is not important. Thats not a problem. Let me know what I can do otherwise to be more useful. If need be those links can be removed. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anchitk (talk • contribs) of 29.10.06

Re: Happy Adminship Anniversary!

Thank you

Hi Bhadani, thank your for the barnstar. You write:

"Many do not like Indians to maintain India related pages"

It is possible that I have blinders on. I see many India related articles editted by Indians and mostly I do not see remarks suggesting that Indian editors should not be maintaining these articles. I do see that occasionally, but have thought of it as isolated editors, rather than it being widespread or an instiutional problem. Please tell me more.

I had to investigate to learn what the BS on the barn star stood for, i.e. "Back Scratch". The barnstar page says it represents an "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" ethos, causing me to do some soul searching. I sometimes like to think of my actions as being motivated by my duty, rather than by the fruits that I might reap. But your gift has helped me to remember that we are never as noble as our pride would like us to believe. Reminders of the truth are always a gift, even if they are not universally sought after. A sweet gift, such as you have given me should not be the cause of any embarrassment. Your brother, --BostonMA 18:36, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Bhadani

Hi Bhadani, Have you seen the "Glossary of terms in Hinduism" ? I have compiled large number of entries from Indian epics. You may like to see and comment. I found that "List of famous Jats" is listed for deletion. http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_famous_JatsYou You may like to vote to keep it. Thanks. burdak 15:19, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Is There Any Project on Islam ?

Hi Bhadani, remember me ? We had some correspondence on Holi in March. How are you ? I was inactive on Misplaced Pages for a long time. I intend to be active now and contribute as much as I can. I just joined this project on Maharashtra called Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Maharashtra, as some user New Rock Star had invited me. I will work in that project. But I also want to other projects if they are available. Especially is there any project on Islam or related ? And is there any project on cricket or football or movies ? Can you please provide me the links if projects on these topics exist.

DBACHMANN

Hi Bhadani, I know that you know about User:Dbachmann's unfortunate remarks against India and Indians. Well, I've found a novel way to make him realise his mistake - "GANDHIGIRI". And that's what I'm doing. Just though, I'd inform you. Bye. Bakar Amin 11:11, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

GANDHIGIRI -

GET WELL SOON, DBACHMANN
