Speedy deletion nomination of Batticaloa Territory

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Batticaloa Territory requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Batticaloa Territory, a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. You must not remove speedy deletion tags from an article that you have created, even if you believe they are incorrect. In this instance, the speedy deletion tags were no longer needed, so I won't be replacing them, however you still should not have deleted them. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:00, 1 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

About Template

edit

Could you please create a template about Template:Shiva temples just like Template:Vishnu temples exist. It would be really helpful, by the way you have done a great job by creating Template:Saivism.--Anandmoorti (talk) 06:22, 7 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Thanks a lot Anandmoorti, I just updated Template:Shiva temples. Please check whether it is okay or not.   --5anan27 (talk) 20:21, 7 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Yes its ok. You can also take help from Category:Shiva temples Category:Shiva temples in India List of Shiva temples in India. And also if possible try to add this template in the article related to Shiva temples like Kashi Vishwanath Temple article. I have added this template in few articles. Thanks--Anandmoorti (talk) 04:30, 8 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Nandi (bull)

New Shaiva sub-schools chart

edit

Which publication of Alexis Sanderson, and page numbers, is it based on? Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 19:11, 19 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Ms Sarah Welch:, I made the chart from the works available in his website. Particularly saying, An Introduction to Śaivism: Lecture at the University of Kyoto, December 2004. Ten-page handout. Also, I would like to tell that the chart was only modified from his works. And although the classification named others is just made by me including all other well-known Saivism sects, they were assigned there as they can't be included in either Adimargam or Mantramargam categorization. --5anan27 (talk) 19:34, 19 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
That only partially supports the chart. A chart that shows A --- B --- C can imply A led to B, B led to C, etc. Similarly when a chart has two or more parallel limbs, it can imply that there was no overlap. All this is not what Sanderson is stating on pages 1-6. The chart needs to be redrawn, or a better source found. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 19:44, 19 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
He describes Pashupata, Kalamukha and Kapalika are evolved from one by one and defines them as Adimarga I, II, III respectively in his articles (I couldn't memorize the names at the moment and could find it if I have some time). This is why I interpret them in that way. But in parallel limbs, I accept your point of view. Yes, it is impossible to tell that there are no overlaps in Saivism, an enormous religion, in which it is very difficult to distinguish even existing and extinct sub - schools. Sanderson unintentionally mentions all these sub - sects in different sources and it is difficult to point out a single reference. FYI, I drew this diagram just to give a clear overview of Saivite sects after seeing this chart with some mistakes according to Sanderson (Kapalika in Mantramarga, Lingayat from Siddhanta, etc.) Please explain me in which aspects this diagram want to be redrawn. If the "reliable single source" is the only problem, it is ok for me to remove the chart from the page. It is difficult to mention single source.   --5anan27 (talk) 20:29, 19 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
I will remove it. We can't combine sources to inadvertently imply new conclusions. Instead of a chart, perhaps a Venn diagram might better reflect the nature of Shaivism (or any other tradition within Indian religions). There has been a lot of sharing ideas and overlaps.

Ways to improve Meykandar

edit

Hi, I'm Montanabw. 5anan27, thanks for creating Meykandar!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Needs a thorough review of grammatical structure and a copyedit

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
