NLP in psychotherapy - merged.

I noticed you merged the article on NLP in psychotherapy. I initiated the move some time ago. Thankyou for following through on the request. --Comaze 07:11, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Comaze, you're welcome. In the discussion-page I edited "The article still needs cleanup, yet since November 2005. I'm not a native English speaker, so please can somebody do that for me?" I hope someone will take up that for me.Davin7 19:38, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

yoga

As I've seen you making some edits to Yoga asana articles recentely, I thought you might want to be in on a discussion surrounding the origin of Surya Namaskara as a form of exercise. User:Khammam has made some extravagant uncited claim about some so-called "Raja of Anudh" being the popularizer. VanTucky 22:23, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have not the slightest Idea. If the Raja of Aundh doesn't state to be the inventor, it might be the inventor, but as well the republisher, etc. I think one should check the sources mentioned at Surya Namaskar Origins#Raja of Aundh. Davin7 18:33, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I found at least one book on http://books.google.com by searching with de ISBN-number only. Davin7 15:47, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Zessen

As far as i understand from your message in Dutch, you want me to put interwiki link or write that article, Zessen, in turkish wikipedia. Sorry but i don't know Dutch at all, i can say... anyway I have just seen your message. I have never heard of this game called "Atlılar" and it is very likely that someone who is a good dreamer created it in his/her mind :) Sorry, but all that i can say is this. Good luck. next time if you write to my tr.wikipedia talk page you will get faster answers :) Bye --Ozculer 10:54, 12 July 2007 (UTC)ɢ[reply]

Thank's for answering. I yet replied at Dutch Wikipedia. Davin7 11:56, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Connirae Andreas, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Clicketyclack 12:10, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NLP

Hi Davin. Thanks for message. I'm sorry to say I know nothing about Connirae Andreas. The name certainly doesn't appear on the cover of Frogs into Princes although you say she is a co-author. But then I'm not an "NLPer" as it were. The person you probably want to ask is User:Action potential who is far more knowledgable on NLP than I. Fainites ^barley 21:58, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I know very little about NLP either. My edits on the topic were basically grammar and organisation edits. --Irrevenant [ talk ] 23:23, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks anyway, to both. Got some more support now it seems. Davin7 17:23, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yoga poll

Please do not go leaving messages on random users' talk pages if they have nothing to do with what you are talking about. This is canvassing, and it is not allowed here. Thank you. Panoptical 15:05, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't overreact so childish. I do my work correctly and seriously. And, like you show with your remark: nobody is perfect. I am not and you neither.

The fact of the matter is that I informed a selection of people that have contributed to yoga articles in the past and are still active on Wikipedia. No other thing than that. Davin7 08:30, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page archiving

I noticed you archived the page at Talk:Yoga to Yoga/Archive/1. The page really should have been located at Talk:Yoga/Archive 4, since archives of talk pages should go in the Talk: namespace. There were three other archives of the Talk:Yoga page, so numbering it as 4 meant it would show up in the Archive box at the top. This is just an FYI for the next time you archive a talk page. --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 17:42, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I had not seen that there was yet an achive box. Thanks for the correction! Davin7 19:52, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

re: asana

Agree i had moved it to yogasana, but in the net asana looks predominent. I have removed Wikipedia:Copyright, which has legal consequences. Please avoid personal comments, we resolve content issues by Wikipedia:Dispute resolution. Thanks. Lara_bran 08:03, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also making personal comment in article's edit summary or talk page is strongly discouraged. Thanks. Lara_bran 08:07, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Citing has nothing to do with copyright. Davin7 08:09, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are posting content directly by copying, that too from a rival website. Legal consequences are always avoided. Lara_bran 08:16, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also you can move it back, without any discussion, in case of shirshasana. But its pronunciation is sh, not s, i know. Lara_bran 08:31, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To ease your fear of copyright, I have reshaped the definitions somewhat, although I'm convinced that one can copy a definition without infringing copyright rules. That is just at stake when larger parts pasted.

When Sirsanana is concerned: no, I cannot revert that. We need a moderator to do that. Next to that: the question is still open and we need a linguist in English to give a view on the translation rules for that. Davin7 09:10, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No need of moderator, should i do it for you? but correct title is shirshasana. As forcopyright, you can paste inside ref tags, but you should write your own sentence to avoid copyright. Thanks. Lara_bran 09:27, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You state your copyright opnions as facts... I don't like that, since I'm convinced that you're wrong. When I use just 95% of one sentence of someone else, it has become MY sentence. Next to that: citing a definition only, is NO abuse of copyright. Davin7 09:48, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

See section Wikipedia:Copyright#Using_copyrighted_work_from_others. You should use your own wording. See seriousness there. Also leave a reply about too many images in asana article Talk:asana. Thanks. Lara_bran 10:02, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is speaking of a 'part' of copyright material. There's no question of that. It's a too purist approach. When images are concerned, in the case of asana it is functional. This article is an example of why the gallery-template has been created. Davin7 10:07, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Skip image copyright. Im talking about text copyright. Also see talk:asana for too many images you posted, but this is seperate issue. Thanks. Lara_bran 10:21, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please read. Davin7 11:26, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved back to Sirsasana, but i support name Shirshasana. Bye. Lara_bran 14:31, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Asana revert

Hey...I reverted your last change to Asana...you took out some good info. But I also had to delete the headstand picture, and couldn't, for the life of me, get it to work right again. Would you kindly put it back? Danka. 30 sep 2007 22:42 69.120.118.244

There is a link to the article of yogi so there isn't a need to explain what yogi is. Next to that, at the article of yogi, it is explained that yogini is the female word. Than you added an image of Swami Rama. There is no need for him on this page. So I have reverted your action. Please leave it this way, since the article is not getting better with it. Davin7 17:15, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First, you don't own the article, so telling me to "leave it the way it is" is beyond the pale. Secondly, there is indeed a need to have an explanation of Yogi in the article...it's called cross-referencing. Finally, I did not place the photo of Swami Rama on the page, but it is indeed necessary, as the picture of the individual in Lotus does not accurately depict siddhasana, or easy posture, which is the basic pasture proffered in the Yoga Sutra.

And keep your condescending comments regards my efforts on the Yoga series page...a page i feel is simply unecessary clutter as articles go. 1 oct 2007 23:11 69.120.118.244

Those comments were meant possitively. Your edits on asana are not. Davin7 17:22, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gee, looks like your holier-than-thou, ego-driven, know-it-all bullshit is being corrected all over the place. Learn something about the subject you pretend to know something about before you write about it. G-d hopes you don't teach. Oh, yea, and if you're going to write in English...learn the language.
