Pashupati seal
Pashupati seal Does not shows seated ithyphallic. It shows animals surrounding a human. All of 24 tirthankararas are associated with 1 animal. example Lord Mahavir is associated with Lion, Pasarvnath with snake, Rishab with Bull, Shantinath with Deer. The striking feature is that, there is deer below the seat of human (Exactly this is the way jains put one animal as a symbol below the seat of their Tirthankaras). All tirthankars are nude but not ithyphallic like shiva.I saw the similarity hence i disseminated my knowledge of history. I think it is good to have others point of view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 106.204.213.43 (talk) 00:00, 17 November 2013 (UTC) Jainism teaches tolerance to other religions but it also teaches to stand for truth. Hinduism and Jainism both originated from Indus civilization and both are as old as history can go. So, how can one say that there cannot be (or must not be) any Jain idol or picture in Indus valley? how can one say that there cannot be roots of Jainism in Indian history/Indus valley? Yes , Pashupati is one of the names of shiva. Hinduism is very popular in India. Can any one tell me if, Hindus place a small icon of animal under the seat/throne of Shiva exactly like this in picture?
As far as the name " pashupati seal is concerned, it was given by a british archaeologist. Probably because Hinduism was very popular and Shiva rides on bull. Also because pashupati is one of the names of shiva. But, this is a modern nomenclature, there is no such name as 'pashupati seal' in brahmi language. It is not the name written on the picture. Therefore i am sharing my knowledge of history. dissemination of knowledge is not a crime...why my posts are deleted with bias? Yes I have been to Kathmandu Pashupati Nath temple and i have seen the idol of shiva. It is different !Dr Prashanna Jain Gotani (talk) 00:41, 17 November 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr Prashanna Jain Gotani (talk • contribs)

Mr Dougweller, I've just understood the rules of talk page. I have left my comments on the talk page of the article. My apologies for the previous comments here.
Why you shouldn't revert to Elockid's version
His version of the Manila article removed any references to the American burning of Manila. https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Manila&oldid=581019327#American_Colonial_Period
Whereas in this version. It is clearly stated. https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Manila&oldid=580563269#American_Colonial_Period
I'm currently angry at you both for conspiring to have me banned while you two strut around and delete content that makes Americans look bad. This is a very serious breach of Fairness and Neutrality. I would like to discuss this further in a civilized manner. But Im really trying hard to control my temper. Thank You

- Blocked, not banned, no conspiracy. Stay within the rules and it won't happen again, use socks and you will find yourself blocked again. Use the talk page of the article. Your 2nd link doesn't seem to say anything about burning. Dougweller (talk) 10:13, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
- Ok. Blocked for a whole week, and that made me really vexed because I was explaining why I made those edits and then mid-range... puff! I can't even talk in your talk pages. Well I admit it doesnt specifically talk about the burnings. But there definitely was a battle for Manila which brought much devastation to the city.

Airlines for America
I think you reverted me by mistake at Airlines for America. If you look at my edit summaries you will see that I removed the labor relations section because it was unreliably sourced, not because of the bit about A4A supposedly being a union. The original site cited is not available but you can see it through the Way Back Machine. See here. I think it is pretty safe to say that an advocacy site for a labor union cannot possibly be reliable source for this material. Also, you will see that the edit summary you reference is only for the little chunk of text about A4A being a union. See my two edits here and here. Thanks! Intermittentgardener (talk) 13:27, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
- An advocacy site can't be used for factual comments? In any case this seems factual, and if you don't like that source I'm sure you can find others. Dougweller (talk) 15:22, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
Rethinking
My username "DRGENITALIA" is Mongolian for DanozDirect. I work for a company that makes and designs mops like "The Swivel Sweeper". My pay is extremely low so I decided to work in an office. The Mongolian authorities found out and they prosecuted my family. I had nothing I could do. In Mongolia, it is illegal to switch jobs without a legitimate excuse. I really had nothing to say when the authorities came. I have no house and no place to live. I'm an intelligent person, so I decided to work in Misplaced Pages. I know there is no pay, but I find it happy to help other people with their work and learning new things. I also appeared on the show "Refuge" where I was interviewed about my journey to America. I learnt English their and now I am a Uni teacher in Physics and a Part Time High School teacher for Geography. I teach the 9th grade. There I also appeared on the show "Go back to where you came from" where again I was interviewed about being a refugee. After that I scraped enough money to go to Australia where I became a reporter for the "Sunday Telegraph" Now I am on my way to visit my remaining family in England and hopefully make it before remembrance day. I am also applying for a job of being a reporter on 7 News. In England I plan to get a job as a Journalist and then hopefully make it to Afghanistan for the show "Refuge" where I am the host. I also realise that my name in English is DrGenital. Sorry for my inappropriate name. Well, continuing on,, after going there I plan to fly to Russia and do a program helping Children learn about Communism. Then I also plan to visit Mongolia and visit my families grave. Now, I just want to help as much as possible with Misplaced Pages. Sorry for any inconvenience. - DRGENITALIA (AREM ROGEYUZ) DRGENITALIA (talk) 07:56, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Norumbega
Hi, Doug
I am Myron Paine, Ph. D., I have advised engineering graduate students. I know the criteria for valid data and the rules for references.
I respect your role to determine that the data is valid and the references are correct for Misplaced Pages.
Re: Norumbega.
See the Lok map. Norumbega is clearly marked on this map of 1582 by Michael Lok in the location of modern New England.
The Lok map has the names of J. Cabot, 1497 and Jac. Cartier,1535. The rivers and terrain features around Norumbega are similar to the New England terrain today.
Richard Hakluyt b knew what was on the map when he included the map in "Divers Voyages touching the Discoveries of America, London, 1582."
A similar, but better, drawing of Norumbega was made in Rome on a map by Bolognini Zalterij in 1595.
0n both maps Norumbega is as prominent as Canada. I.e. if Canada existed, then so did Norumbega. On neither map is there an attempt to connect Norumbega to Vikings.
So the words, "Inextricably connected with attempts to demonstrate Viking incursions in New England." are misleading. They imply that the name "Norumbega was found by scholars who attempted, but did not succeed, to connect Norumbega to Vikings.
Norumbege was a correctly named location in America before AD 1600 without any indication of Vikings. Today modern scholars have repeatedly demonstrated close valid connections between Norumbega and Vikings in New England:
The French called the people in Norumbega, "Nauset."
The Nauset spoke/speak Old Norse
Many New England place names are Old Norse, including Massachusetts, Connecticut, Narragansett, and Wampanoag,
The Nauset origin stories included ancient migration from Iceland and
The Nauset had/have Norse DNA. See Gene Park in http://lenape-epic.blogspot.com/2012/04/norse-christians-called-lenape.html
The evidence indicates Norumbega was an established Norse settlement in America in 1497. The most knowledgeable scholars of America in 1497 knew that Norumbega was located in what would become New England. Those scholars did not know that the name was associated with Norse.
The names Norumbega and Nauset are not found on English maps after John Smith's voyage in 1614.
Modern multiple attempts to verify that Norumbega was, in fact, a Norse territory have repeatedly produced valid results, which have been ignored by the social scientists.
Ignoring a name and results DO NOT make the name legendary. There is a reason a name is ignored, i.e. maybe to cover up and erase the knowledge that the Norse were in America since 1497 at least.
Then the 17th century English accepted the Columbus was first myth to deny Norse presence in North America. The issues were the Doctrine of Discovery and the English Charters, which stipulated that the English could not settle where there were Christians already, settled.
Any hint that Nauset were in Norumbega was a serious concern for the Puritans.
I think Norumbega should read:
Norumbega (orNorumbègue,Nurumbega, etc.) was a place name for modern New England on the world's maps for 119 years. (AD 1497 - 1616).
In 1616 Robert Clerke drew Captain John Smith's Voyage to Norumbega and beyond.
Clerke omitted both Canada and Norumbega from the map. Norumbega never appeared on an English map again.
French maps of a century later still show Norumbega near New England.
The French found Nauset (pronounced "Nause") in Norumbega. The Nauset spoke a dialect of Old Norse. Many place names in Norumbega are Old Norse.
DNA studies show that on the northern route into the United States, the Norse people mixed with peoples. That fact is 98.7 percent fact, confirmed by y-DNA.

Concerns at Urartu
Esc2003 has launched a campaign in the Urartu article to remove any sort of association of the Urartu civilization with that of the Armenian people. In a comment on the talk page of a Turkish speaking user, Esc2003 pointed out that the article was ""too Armenian" (fazla Ermenileştirilmemiş) and that something must be done. Since then, he has tried to make the Urartu article seem as though it is as Persian as it is Armenian. I feel that the only remedy to this is an AE sanction. Don't know of any warnings given to him however. But he has been sent to AE before. Is that not sufficient enough? Proudbolsahye (talk) 18:57, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

strange concept
I'm new to editing wikipedia but browsing over some of the policies makes me wonder what wikipedia actually is and what it presents itself to be.
"Misplaced Pages articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media" "Its content is determined by previously published information"
One would think that a gigantic encyclopedia would be interested in actual fact, truth and reality. Not just facts or opinions that someone has printed somewhere.
It seems wikipedia is really the "encyclopedia" of what people "think" happened, based on third-party media sources. I guess that's why you call it "wikipedia" instead of "encyclopedia".
I'm having difficulty understanding the verifiability and reliable source policies. I think they are in need of some restructuring.
I don't think i'm going to be a wikipedia editor, but it is a shame that a source of information that many go to seems quick to present the negative, not the positive, and not the neutral it claims. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JonDeva (talk • contribs) 20:08, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
- In fact it calls itself an encyclopedia, and you are a Misplaced Pages editor just by being here. It's meant to be based on reliable and verifiable sources - mainly academic for academic subjects. It differs from most encyclopedias in that it is meant to present the main viewpoints on a subject, whereas most encyclopedias use experts that write about subjects from their point of view. For many things 'truth' is an elusive concept. I work mainly with historical and archaeological arguments where it is often impossible to say 'this is truth' except about some very basic things. Dougweller (talk) 21:37, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
- I'd forgotten who you were. You wrote "an ignorant and immature western society" - that's an opinion, not a truth - unless you want to call it 'true from a certain point of view". "Immature" is a subjective opinion, and we are all ignorant - at least I've never met anyone who knew everything. Dougweller (talk) 21:40, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Follow-up on your "Paper needed" request
Hi, Doug,
You shared a citation you found,
“The Pharos of Alexandria,” Proceedings of the British Academy 30: 277–92
on my talk page. I've been to my friendly local academic library with that citation, and what seems to be going on is that the Proceedings of the British Academy in that era were published as separate monographs, which would have been cataloged by libraries as individual books. Searching the well computerized catalog of my alma mater library didn't turn up a shelf location for this volume. Of course, as I was looking this up, I saw other online references to this source, perhaps some that built the Misplaced Pages article and some cribbed from the Misplaced Pages article that cited this source, but I can't say that I have succeeded in verifying this source yet. I am keeping it in a source list document that I always take with me whenever I go to the academic library, and I'll keep trying. Feel free to bring up other research puzzlers as you find. Thanks for your constructive work on the project; it's always good to see another editor who is diligent about seeking out reliable sources. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 18:20, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

A while back you and I shared the same concerns about this editor (User_talk:NeilN/Archive_13#Vcorani). Can you please look at today's contributions ? They seem to lack the same sort of clue, especially on Cold case review. --NeilN 16:57, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
- I'm going to turn the above into a redirect to Cold case. --NeilN 17:08, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
- Also . Highly distasteful. --NeilN 17:13, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
Disregard this

Hello, Kaveh Farrokh was proposed for deletion and the debate resulted in this entry to be redirected to his publisher. I am concerned about his notability and proposed it for deletion again. --,dgjdksvc;jknhg (talk) 05:18, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Stating politics of an anthropologist
The reason for stating the anarchist anthropolist's politics is because the cited observation about the correlation of religion and coinage in the Axis Age is that it is stated in the cited book which is a book of importance to anarchist theory and it enables one to understand from what viewpoint the association of the new philosophies and coinage is made.

- Hm, and you think his article isn't enough? It wasn't at all clear to me and wouldn't be clear unless a reader already new all that, so maybe you need to find a better way to explain it. Dougweller (talk) 13:05, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
- Perhaps a link to the book hmm. well I've a copy of the book somewhere, if I'm not bored I'll find it and check to see whether and how he mentions any connection explicitly. Cogiati (talk) 13:16, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

Why this edit? It seems to be fashionable to strike blocked editors' comments, but I have no idea why. Whatever their merits, they were clearly intended to, in their minds, improve the article. Ghmyrtle (talk) 09:40, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
- Striking sock puppets edits is done to make it clear that they were a sock in cases where reversion is inappropriate. I didn't revert because of the replies. I see there's another blocked sock there now. We've got no way of knowing obviously if this is just one person or several, but that's moot. Dougweller (talk) 11:52, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
- No problem. As a basic principle, I'm more concerned about (real world) censorship than WP's (in-universe) rules - I was more concerned about another edit with which I disagreed, but I think we've resolved that now, and your striking of comments got sort of caught up in the crossfire. Ghmyrtle (talk) 12:04, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
- It wasn't a personal attack at all. As I said, I was more concerned about another editor's edit. My use of the word "censorship" wasn't intended to be taken personally - if you saw it that way, I apologise - but equally the striking out of comments which were not vandalism but merely comments by someone who was infringing WP's own internal rules seemed (and seems) to me to be an unnecessary step. No reason to prolong this, surely? Ghmyrtle (talk) 13:54, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Follow-up on your "Question about Instructions to Students"
Greetings! Thanks for bringing to my attention that close paraphrasing may have occurred. I stress to students the importance of using their own words and not copying other people's work, even if with minor changes. It would count as a violation of academic integrity and carry a penalty. I will look into it. Also, if you could leave a message directly on User_talk:Tdwyer9532 with your feedback, that would be helpful. I will tell all the students to look at their Talk pages. Finally, if you're interested in being an online ambassador for this course in the future, do let me know (email would be best). Your experience would be valuable to us all. Thanks!

Re: My Thanks
Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious, but what exactly are you referring to? Cyclonebiskit (talk) 19:46, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
- You reverted. Dougweller (talk) 21:42, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
- All I did was restore the removed Israel content. The new info remained in place. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 22:06, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
My apology
I hereby declare my apology i was ignorant but my intention was not to spam but to provide some useful info for readers with help of wikipedia and this is to inform you i will not continue to contribute further by providing links.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Sanat Kumara may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 ""s and 2 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

I question whether full-protection is necessary here. Semi-protection would seem to suffice. I could see full-protecting an article where a run-of-the-mill edit-war was occurring between IP's and registered users, as semi-protection would force the IP's to discuss while allowing the registered users to continue editing. This was a case of a single-purpose IP with an obvious conflict of interest warring with multiple users. Semi-protection would end the disruption while allowing editors to continue to improve the article. Joefromrandb (talk) 05:11, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, you are right, not sure now why I did that. I also had a mouse slip and clicked the wrong box, so I'm now overriding another Admin to change to semi! Dougweller (talk) 07:00, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
Burial places of founders of world religions
I noticed you reverted my changes regarding Ahmadiyya Movement considering that they call themselves Muslims. And presented an argument that Mormons consider themselves as Christians and hence you enlist them under the category of Christians. Now, I'm going to put Joseph Smith's burial location in that article as a sub-section of Christianity section. I think it was missing there, since the founder of a movement which is followed by approximately 7 million people, which is a part of Christianity because 'they call themselves as Christians'. I understand that Misplaced Pages is a neutral community and hence I believe that the burial location of Mormonism's founder is also supposed to be listed there, under the very same section of Christianity.
The Grey School of Wizardry
Someone off-site pointed to this. I'm finding it hard to assess given that the entire first page of GHits is to their own website(s) (they appear to have several). After clearing that away it's hard to tell how seriously to take it: I found at least one book which compared it to Jediism as a made-up thing. Mangoe (talk) 12:55, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Mangoe. It's made-up of course but seems real. You've probably seen (of course it's a tabloid) and this non-RS maybe? (which actually does make it sound real even if not an RS). And. Dougweller (talk) 13:03, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

This editor keeps reverting changes on Jewish diaspora to a version which is framed in non-neutral/POV terms. I've tried talking this out with him, but to no avail. He is not following Wiki guidelines and is now engaging in an edit war. Help is needed.Evildoer187 (talk) 15:34, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
