Dattatreya and citations

Please see Talk:Dattatreya, and the Kalachakra information was uncited, that is, it did not have a proper citation as in footnote, indicating the translator, edition, publisher, etc. Regardless of the antiquity of the text, an editor is required to say where he or she got the information from. Please read WP:CITE to learn how to make proper citations. Uncited information can be removed by any editor. Even cited information can be removed if it is not pertinent or is being misused to introduce uncited personal opinion. Also, please note the three revert policy, which you are about to break and for which you can be blocked. And please sign your comments with ~~~~. Thanks. -999 (Talk) 22:11, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Response

Kalki article writers have provided NO CITATIONS throughout the article, so either you put up citation marks all over the article, or none at all. Wiki rules are to be followed by everyone. --Shravak 22:16, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't have to do anything, newcomer. I suggest you take it easy until you learn the ropes. I'll be happy to get you blocked if you need a lesson. Have a nice day. -999 (Talk) 22:19, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

really? Thank you for the threat, you will be reported to admins.--Shravak 22:22, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

999 cannot "get you blocked". Only you can do that. I am an admin. Perhaps I can help cool things here. What is the problem? Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 22:32, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

WP:3RR

How about a clean start? I deleted that page above because I don't feel it's necessary at this stage. Please ensure that you stick to a single account. You did violate 3RR regardless, so you are blocked for 12 hours. When that block expires, you're still prohibited from reverting that article for another 12 hours. Please use the talk page to resolve the dispute and adhere to WP:3RR (which ordinarily brings a 24 hr block). Thx. El_C 07:35, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi! They say I am your sockpuppet

Could you explain how come they think that? Also, what to do about it? Dattat 16:52, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Shravak, you've been cleared of being a sockpuppet of Dattat by Checkuser. It turns out that Dattat was actually a sockpuppet of User:Mattisse who has now been blocked from editing Wikipedia for one week. I hope that this bad experience hasn't upset you too much and that you will continue contributing to Wikipedia for which we thank you for. --  Netsnipe  ►  07:52, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Brahmanical

Your alterations are fine by me, but as a point of fact, the term "brahmanical" in these contexts refers to the group of Vedic religious texts known as the "brahmanas", not the people called "brahmins", so I don't see how the term can be offensive.--Stephen Hodge 14:33, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
