CO2Northeast

haha my friend, I know that you did. I was reading that page sometime ago and I looked at its history. Which is why I appreciated you for the changes you made in it, and if it was you who brought in those flowcharts about the various forms of Saivism and the distance from Vedic injunctions for each of them, kudos to you. Wikipedia's hinduism articles need MUCH MUCH more of this sort of work, to counteract the balderdash from people who say everything and anything is written in the Vedic mantras. This ridiculous "everything is in the Vedas" claim is a cancer on hinduism and india in general, since it makes people unwilling to admit any progress since 1000 BC. The vast majority of modern Hindu practice, belief and ritual is not from the Vedic Mantra samhitas, and more people need to be made aware of that.

HOWEVER- that being said, I must reiterate that the opposite action, i.e saying everything which is not in the Vedic mantras was from the "sramana" movement, is something I find equally offensive. It denies any credit to non-Aryans who were not Buddhist, Jain or Bihari. I am a South Indian and I have plenty of things to be proud of in hinduism, such as Shaivism and Amman goddess worship. I am also aware that Jainism and Buddhism came to Tamil nadu after the Kalabhra invasion from the north, while native gods similar to krishna, shiva, amman, and murugan (skanda) were worshipped in Tamil lands much before the invasion. Now, these gods are part of modern Hinduism (the non Vedic contributions I mentioned), but find no place in Jainism or Buddhism.

Anatta, Emptiness and Tathagatagarbha Articles

Hello CO2. Thank you for your message. Unfortunately, I'm terribly busy with other academic work at present, so I very much doubt that I shall have time to make the changes you suggest (incorporating the anatta and emptiness material into the Tathagatagarbha article). Actually, I personally think things should be left as they are (in those respective articles): I see nothing wrong with them as they currently stand. Best wishes to you.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Please make sure to include an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! Jim1138 (talk) 08:48, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Your edits on Mūlamadhyamakakārikā ‎ were tantamount to vandalism, and your usage of the word 'crap' isn't particularly conducive to collaborative editorial. I am sure that your intentions are good - but the article is live, and you are not the sole editor. Please discuss your points on the talk page there. (20040302 (talk) 16:08, 27 January 2012 (UTC))

Merely because something is marked as uncited doesn't warrant it's removal - it warrants an invitation to be cited, and most normally is dated. A good period is as much as 12 months. Anyhow, let's not get too upset with differences of opinion on this - and instead work to a solution. (20040302 (talk) 16:51, 27 January 2012 (UTC))

I Am not the editor of that content - however, your edits included cited materials. I would much prefer that you replace the existing content with well-cited material, rather than delete stuff that is uncited. Uncited it may be, and poor it may be - but it does offer some sort of structure. Can you go through your deletions, and restore all the cited material - I would do it, but I do not wish to engage in an edit war. (20040302 (talk) 16:56, 27 January 2012 (UTC))

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Tantra, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 18:38, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:Madhyamaka. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Sunray (talk) 19:31, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Do you have anything further to add regarding the disputes I have delineated in the talk page? Or can I close this particular discussion? The best to you. (20040302 (talk) 10:53, 3 February 2012 (UTC))
