Sinhala propaganda

Please stop spreading nonsense on wikipedia. Your contributions to Indian Buddhist Movement were not reliably sourced. Please read WP:RS.Hkelkar 16:55, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

==Hi Shrilankabuddhist==

I hope you are doing well,

If you scroll up on the talk page for Indian Buddhist Movement, you'll find that I have made a complete analysis of this article with several suggestions. Would you care to comment on them, or provide further information in response to my suggestions! Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I'm want to buy a book or two on this topic so that I can help improve this article. Are there any books that you would recommend on this [1]?

In the article that you are trying to include in the Indian Buddhist Movement article, it says 300,000 people. That is three hunderd thousand, not three million. Furthermore, I have found no other article that makes the same assertion. In fact, the Times of India stated 30 people in it's article covering the same event. I understand that number is probably wrong. Can you provide an article from a source that doesn't have "Buddhism" or "Buddha" in the title of the reporting organization? I think that would meet with less criticism.

It's an unfortunate reality that critics of this article will not let you move foward if you don't provide sources that are absolutely above reproach. I am no such critic. I genuinely wish to help you improve this important article.

Feel free to leave me a response on my talk page.

Hello, I provide information about Buddha and Buddhism because that is the thing we love about India. India is the place from where we got BUDDHA. Shrilankabuddhist 12:28, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello Shrilankabuddhist,

Again, in the article that you are trying to include in Indian Buddhist Movement, it says 300,000 people. That is three hundred thousand, not three million.

Hi Shrilankabuddhist - User Hkelkar

I am very sorry that user Hkelkar keeps removing your sourced edits. Please understand that he does not represent all of Wikipedia, and neither do I.

Right now, there is a very long talk going about what to do with Hkelkar. Please trust that the right thing will be done, whatever it is.

Please be patient. I welcome your discussion, and I respect you. I understand that what you are doing is done in good faith. I do have concerns about this article, but now is not the time to address them.

Your edits to Indian Buddhist Revival

Hi there. Can you justify the existence of "nomadic tribes" and "criminal castes" in Mumbai. Also, I request you to refrain from digressing into various peripheral details about Hindus in Sri Lanka, such as Tamils, and LTTE. These are not only irrelevant, they can only cause unnecesary tension as they are very emotive issues. Also, could you please refrain from using the "h" in Sri? Thanks, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 00:48, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

1. To know about "nomadic tribes" and "criminal castes" you can find information on official web site of Maharashtrastate and Mumbai is capital city of that state. Maharashtra - SOCIAL WELFARE DEPARTMENT. 2. In 2006 Buddhist Conversion ceremony Nomadic Tribe leader from Maharashtra Laxman Mane converted to Buddhism. Laxman Mane 3. About Sinhala contribution; Anagarik Dhammapala is the founder of Mahabodhi Society. Our Buddhist Monks are there in India and all over the world. If you need more information plese let me know. 4. There are many users who are vandalising Buddhist Articles. I will give you details of those people. Shrilankabuddhist 13:06, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Please don't misrepresent references (Blnguyen read it carefully).Hkelkar 14:03, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

From TFA:

“ Towards social welfare, the Government have undertaken to remove the stigma of untouchability in respect of scheduled castes and to assimilate the scheduled tribes in the general population without destroy­ing their hereditary traits. The rehabilitation of ex-criminal, nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes in gainful and stable avocations has also been undertaken. ”

Notice "ex-criminal" and no mention of Mumbai at all.Hkelkar 14:07, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Read the Maharashtra Govt. site for more information about Tribes. I have given few links better you also study. Mumbai is capital of Maharashtra. Shrilankabuddhist 17:35, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

BS

Please read WP:NPOV and WP:V.Hkelkar 17:39, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Also, read WP:RS and the clause about "partisan and extremist sources". Wikipedia is not a soapbox for Sinhala Fundamentalist propaganda. Hkelkar 17:44, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Don;t forget that anyone can play your game. At this rate, wikipedia will degenerate into chaos.Please stop this nonsense and contribute constructively.Hkelkar 17:48, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Why I removed your edit

ShrilankaBuddhist, I removed this section because Hkelkar created an article about it. [Kerlanji Massacre] is where you would want to put such things, if they're unbiased and the source is well-established. Please see the talk page first before adding anything. NinaEliza 18:16, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

The Khairlanji Buddhist Massacre is about a poor Buddhist family becaue 2006 many Dalits converted to Buddhism so Hindus are killing innocent masses. The issue has to be addressed in Hindu Criticism or Hindu Reaction to mass conversions. Shrilankabuddhist 19:01, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Please read WP:NOT again. Wikipedia is not a propaganda soapbox. Also, read WP:NOR and WP:POINT. Don't disrupt wikipedia to illustrate a point and do not enter original research with weak vanity sites for backup. Persist and this will be taken to higher authorities. Hkelkar 19:09, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

ShrilankaBuddhist, please see Kherlanji Massacre. I'm sorry about the link. If you ever have any problems with a link, you can put the phrase into the Wikipedia search window and find the article.

ShrilankaBuddhist, so far there is only one reliable news source that say the family who was murdered were Buddhists. The URL is:

http://www.merinews.com/catFull.jsp?articleID=123634&category=India&catID=2

If you go to the Kherlanji Massacre article, you'll see that Hkelkar has used that link as a reference. So far, it's the only news source to make this claim. I'm afraid you're going to need to stop trying to add this information to Indian Buddhist Revival until there are more reliable sources that state that this family was Buddhist. NinaEliza 19:50, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello Shrilankabuddhist - I am afraid that your statements and edits do not conform to NPOV not to WP:RS. Please see my comments on the talk page. Thanks, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 23:46, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
