Mahamandaleshwar Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda
[edit]PLEASE stop deleting the "wikify" header from the Mahamandaleshwar Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda until you have actually wikified it. RickK 22:22, Sep 15, 2004 (UTC)
- ok i will try my best according to your tutorial; when do i know that it is "wikified"?
- See Wiktionary:Wikify. An article is "wikified" when it sports links, sections, and headers that look like our other properly formatted articles. The more experience you have doing edits around here, the more easily you'll be able to tell what a properly "wikified" article should look like. --Ardonik.talk() 01:41, Sep 17, 2004 (UTC)
NPOV
[edit]PLEASE review the Wikipedia policy on Neutral point of view. Your articles cannot stand as they are written, their worshipful phrasing is not an acceptable. Please learn how to write about these people as PEOPLE, not as divinities. RickK 22:33, Sep 15, 2004 (UTC)
I have repeatedly asked you to stop your deletion of the headers from the articles you have written. If you persist, I will list you on Vandalism in progress. RickK 23:07, Sep 15, 2004 (UTC)
As long as you keep deleting the NPOV and cleanup headers, I will continue to revert your edits. RickK 06:08, Sep 16, 2004 (UTC)
- i'm sorry, a newcommer, and edit the pages by copy/paste from my editor to the webpage. by doing this, i deleted your headers without knowing what will happen. there was no intention from my side to do some vandalism; your reaction is in my eyes too hard, because i didn't edit anonoumously. sorry again.
- please can you give me an example what words in which have to be reworded to follow NPOV? when i look on other sides about biographies (spritual leaders, scientist or politics) i cannot see so many differents. but this of couse is a point of view. i didn't use neither lies nor fantasy.
- sorry if my english is not so well; i'm from austria. Mansukram 11:48, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Copyrighted material
[edit]You have been copying/pasting text from yoga-in-daily-life.com to create articles, as well as uploading images taken from that site. That site has a clear copyright warning on each page. Please do not post copyrighted text or images to the Wikipedia. That is illegal and we cannot use them. SWAdair | Talk 07:54, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- all material i used is from the International Fellowship, a registered organisation, and i'm the president of it. what do you advise me to do? to rewrite those articles which are already published on our websites? i used them because of corporate identity. Mansukram 11:51, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Obtain specific permission to release the content of the relevant websites under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), or, if you have the authority yourself, grant the permission explicitly. (For instance, a revision of the copyright notice on http://yoga-in-daily-life.com that indicated that the content was licensed under the GFDL would be a clear indication that copying and pasting was okay.) We're very serious about copvios around here because they can expose our encyclopedia to legal danger, so we have to make sure that all are text and images are released under the GFDL or a compatible license. If the content can't be released under the GFDL or the webmasters don't want it released under the GFDL (this is the usual case), then you'll just have to research, cite, and paraphrase. --Ardonik.talk() 18:20, Sep 17, 2004 (UTC)
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Mahamandaleshwar, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

- I also looked at it. It needs major improvements to stay in--the first general section needs to be expanded, you need to give a reference or two, the list needs some kind of documentation showing where it came from, and links to any existing articles about them. You have 4 days.DGG 13:13, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
