WikiProject Jainism

Hi, to join the WikiProject Jainism just put your name down on the list of contributors and start helping! Thats it haha. As for the Userbox template, I haven't made it yet. I made one earlier but it got deleted/taken down somehow. - Zhang Guo Lao 19:07, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oops haha, thanks for letting me know. So many places spell them differently =) - Zhang Guo Lao 15:27, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Thanks for your edits on Karma_in_Jainism.

However before putting disputed neutrality tag please discuss as to why you are disputing the neutrality on the talk pages.
Please discuss where cleanup is required.
Please discuss why it has been put as Class B Article and not Class A as put by me.

For any changes please discuss on talk pages first or else it would be considered as POV and reverted back. I would appreciate your contributions a lot. Looking forwarding to constructive contribution to ensure that this article(in fact all jainism articles) is rated as featured article.--Anish Shah 05:22, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I rated it down to B-class because it does not match the Wikipedia:WikiProject Jainism/Assessment standards for A-class articles. I realize that not all WikiProjects add Good Article status to the B-A-FA continuum, it is also important to remember that a poorly written page with many grammatical errors and clear, or even disputed bias cannot be A-class. I also added a POV tag because it seems to hold Jainism above other religions in its principles, saying that it is the only religion which does a certain thing, when that is not necessarily true (though technically I could delete such claims under WP:V, I would not due to the fact that some of these may be nominally true). I will copy this down on my talk page for record-keeping purposes. --queso man 00:55, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do not agree with you and your way of functioning. Either you do some constructive contribution and not be a member of Jainism Wikipedia project for name sake. I said point out the cases which require the necessary changes and we will make the necessary changes. As the name of article suggests it provides the Karmic theory from jainism point of view. I have taken all the sources from respected authors who have researched jainism deeply. So kindly do not impose your POV on others. If you see the tag, it requires "more specific message" and "discussion on talk pages". If that is not forthcoming I will have to revert back. However i am open to making substantial changes wherever required. I am copying this on the talk pages of Karma in Jainism so that it stays on record. I am inviting improvements from you and other members of this project. If there are no contributions then I will rate the Article as per the wiki guidelines. Thanks--Anish Shah 04:42, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but not agreeing with me is not a good nor a valid reason to change something. The WikiProject Assessment guidelines clearly show that an A-class article must meet some guidelines when it comes to referencing, NPOV, and grammar. It is debatable whether an A-class article must be better than a Good Article, but in this WikiProject, GA status is necessary before promotion to A-class. I suggest you study these guidleines. Also, just because something is above Jainism, it doesn't have to be written from a Jain point of view. All Wikipedia articles MUST be written from an objective viewpoint. Just because Dr. Jaini is a respected author, the source is not automatically unbiased. Even Acharya Sushilkumar is biased, no matter how respected he is. The constant referencing of biased sources (the Tattvartha Sutra being one of the few ones that is not used in a negative way) is one of the main shortcomings of the article. Wikipedia articles are not designed to support their subject; they must instead simply shed light on the topic. As for any lack of constructive edits about Jainism I have made, I am quite an old-timer on this WikiProject as the second person to join. By looking at my contributions and articles I have edited or created on Jainism, it is quite clear that I have not added my name to the Jainism WikiProject just for the status. --queso man 03:22, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have made some changes, mostly grammatical, as I see fit. Please look this over and add your opinion on the talk page or change it as you like, in which case I will look over your edits and see what we can compromise on. I also moved the tag for bias to a specific section where the bias seems to be concentrated. I have also written something on the talk page, mostly about reasons why the WikiProject has been declining in some ways, and why it is not as good as it should be, which you inquired about. There are also some proposals on how to improve the article.Σ --queso man 19:49, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Advice requested

I've been attempting to overview and tidy up the geography cats which involve the places where people live. From the top level down to local neighbourhoods. There has been some overlapping and various mis-routings. It's been interesting looking at it all. However, there appear to be two useful ways of doing it - by region, and by size. And these can operate side by side quite usefully. The by region isn't a problem. But the by size has become difficult because User:Hmains wishes to use the term settlements to cover all sizes of communities, and has altered dictionary definitions [1] to fit his own understanding of the term - [2]. Community appears to be the term used most often to describe the places where people live, regardless of size. This is the definition of community - [3]. I did some sorting, placing the cat Human communities under Human geography. Human communities splitting into Urban geography and Rural geography. And those splitting into appropriate sized communities - cities, districts, neighbourhoods, villages, settlements, etc. Hmains has reverted much of my work, and insists on settlements being the term we should use - basing it on this decision, which was a declined proposal to rename Settlements by region to Populated places by region. What do you think? Is settlement an acceptable term for covering human communities ranging from well established cities down to refuge camps. Is Human community a viable alternative? Are there other choices (apart from populated places of course!)? I have started a discussion here and [4], with the above wording, but no response as yet. Am I doing the right thing?

Air conditioning appreciation

Hi, I noticed that you put a Prod tag on this article, and then listed it in Articles for Deletion. AfD and Proposed Deletion are two different deletion methods, you have accidentally combined the two. To delete an article using Proposed Deletion, you simply put the tag on the article, as you have already done, and then 5 days later if no one objects the article is deleted. There is no need to list it in the Articles for Deletion page. --Xyzzyplugh 01:05, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I realized that after I put it on, but thanks anyway. --queso man 01:12, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

Thats awesome, you're the first person who has come to me about this! :)) I will of course do the same, if there is any particular article you want me to work on, let me know, otherwise I'll make my own choice. Thanks again! :) - Francis Tyers · 23:29, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I worked on Isfara for under an hour, unfortunately I couldn't find much information. I then added the infobox to Dashoguz. - Francis Tyers · 11:10, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article assessments

Thanks for the note about the article assessments. If you look at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Tolkien articles by quality/1, there are (as of time of writing) 9 article listed as A-class:

I assessed these articles as A-class not to imply that they were better than GA-class, but to distinguish them as better than the B-class articles. I've seen discussion elsewhere on different projects to indicate that GA-class doesn't strictly come between B-class and A-class. Many people see GA-class as something separate from the stub-start-B-A-FA sequence. Confusing, I know, but that was the way I was handling it. As for what A-class means. WikiProject Middle-earth doesn't have formal A-class a assessment system. I know some projects do, but we don't, yet! Would you like to suggest setting one up over at the WikiProject talk page? Carcharoth 23:51, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think all you'd have to do is rewrite that Assessments page to fit suitable Middle-earth criteria, after discussing at the WikiProject. The WikiProject is not very active at the moment, but it is something that needs doing. If you find the time, please start a discussion on it. Carcharoth 21:52, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stubsensor cleanup project

I just wanted to let you know that I finished the section you had signed up for. I'm trying to finish the whole page; I didn't want you to think I just took it.
