  Hello! I know you have a hard time on Wikipedia. Sorry for that. I hope you enjoy editing. I would like bring into your attention that there is a fundamental policy in Wikipedia—Verifiability, not truth. So if you provide reliable citations, those who oppose you now will have to accept you instead. Hope you have a great day. VanischenumTalk 18:16, 28 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

SumerianPrince, you've been blocked for edit warring in the past. Unless you can assure us that your behavior will be different in the future, it's likely you will get a longer block this time around. Please respond at the WP:AN3 noticeboard and explain how you will patiently work for consensus in the future. Your usage of an IP as part of an edit war may cause you to be investigated for sockpuppetry. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 17:08, 28 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

I have added a better tag. The article still reads like a promotional brochure. Edward321 (talk) 14:33, 6 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Regarding my message on your Talk last month

edit

Hello @SpacemanSpiff. Greetings to you. I am posting this message here on my Talk as your Talk's messages get archived by the month and I did not want to add there further. Also, your role being an Admin's, you may have a profusion of messages. While there is no issue I have at the moment, I just wanted to clarify my side regarding the message I had left on your Talk at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:SpacemanSpiff/Archives/2024/March#New_user_keeps_removing_well-referenced_material_without_ever_talking_either_on_the_Article_Talk_or_anywhere_else., which was last month.

The new user then was removing (not any more) material along with their references with short one-line explanations without looking before or after. One of the edit summaries was where they cite "confusion about currency" which removed multiple references including INDIA TODAY and FORBES MAGAZINE. Did they mean that journalists and other educated people cited/involved/mentioned were “confused” between the Indian Rupee and the American Dollar and especially in that regard (currency related) from the latter?

Anyway all the publicized figures being thrown around viz the smaller five vaults opened so far are pure “guesstimates”. Every little bit of what is on the page is backed up by perfectly reliable and solid references. There must be a reason why its content assessment was promoted to one higher mid-March. I have been on Wiki for a long time. Not long after its inception around the year 2000, I had known of it and come across it, by maybe 2002. I have contributed every time the donation campaigns come. I do feel bad that around 98% of the people actually do not donate almost anything. As I have seen how much work and background stuff goes on between the various editors from the admins through all those in between to the average regular editor without any additional “positions”. The main reason I approached you, both proper and now, is because your mother-tongue is the mother/sister language of my mother-tongue :). Anyway thanks for your time. Regards.

(Edit June 09th) Hello @SpacemanSpiff, I see you have not since Puthendu/Vishu, anyway I just wanted to add some more to what I had posted before for you. It is only wrt the Temple's smaller five vaults (which are all that should be opened for eternity imo) that the "guesstimate" of "Rs 1 lakh crores" has been used. This was the lowest guesstimate as of July 2011 and only UK based rags seem to be still persisting with the same figure whenever they have done of late. Moreover they even divide the figure by the current exchange rate for the INR with the USD Euro or Pound. In July 2011 one of the people who was involved in the matter guesstimated "Rs 5 lakh crores"[1]. Nine years on in 2020 another one in the SC described it as worth "lakhs of crores"[2]. Moreover the price of Gold through most of 2011 was Rs 2K per gram and even in 2020 Rs 3K per gram. Today its hovering around Rs 7K per gram. Anyway the relevant section in the Article has all the details with solid reliable sources. However just wanted to let you know this from my side. Regards.
