Is he on some admin-wiki break?--D-Boy 05:46, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
I am wondering of this site could be considered an internet phenomena or not. I know it is rather popular and extremely humorous. It features a guy who holds a weekly contest offering $100 via PayPal to the individual who leaves him he best Drunk dialing message on his voicemail.
I did not add this site to this article yet for fear that people would think I am self-promoting. I have no affiliation with the site and can’t find any direct marketing used to purchase products. I just think it is very funny and well known around my area.
I look forward to some objective input before I add, or do not add this site to the list. Take a look for yourself, you be the judge…

WikiProject India Newsletter: Volume I, Issue 3 - December 2006

[edit]
Project News
  • Name change of cities in Karnataka: A straw poll was conducted on the proposal to change the name of cities in Karnataka, per the Nov 1, 2006 decision by the Karnataka government to rename them from the current anglicised forms. The result of the poll was to change the names. As controversial as the decision may be in the real world, the article Bangalore in Wikipedia still reflects the old name. You may be interested in knowing why. Dig the archives.
  • New Project Noticeboard (Shortcut:WP:INB): WikiProject India now sports a new colourful centralised noticeboard. An effort to make the noticeboard current and dynamic was mooted a few days back, and Ganeshk came up with the new format. The new noticeboard will strive to be the one-stop shop for all project related information. The shortcut is WP:INB.
  • Members List: The old members list is being phased out to give way for the new members list. New members are requested to add their names to the new members list. As the newsletter grows, further issues of the Project Newsletter will be delivered to those enlisted in the new list. So dash down now, to check if ur name is in there.
What's New?

In the world of Wikipedia where quality counts than quantity, we have come a long way. We've made better than 'nothing', to say the least, and even that is an achievement. I take this opportunity to thank everyone including those who have dotted the i's and crossed the t's.

[edit]

Hi, DaGizza 

I was wondering whether you or other editors can replace the image (i.e., Khajuraho at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu#Religion_for_the_common_Hindu with a non-sexual image? It gives the wrong impression about the article, religion for the common Hindu.

Dear {{subst:BASEPAGENAME}},

The Wikipedia Birthday Committee, myself, and Bearly541 wish you a very happy birthday! Enjoy your special day. Hooray! --Randfan please talk talk to me!

This guy is your personal B-day red panda! Congrats for being one year older and staying with Wikipedia this long. Much too many people create new accounts, do a few minor edits, and just quit. Happy B-day! —¡Randfan! {{subst:CURRENTTIME}}, {{subst:CURRENTDAY}} {{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}} (UTC); so how does it feel? :)
Happy b-day! Hope it's a good one! Cheers!:) —Randfan!! {{subst:CURRENTTIME}}, {{subst:CURRENTDAY}} {{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}} (UTC)

Amazing

[edit]

I did not know that Buddhism's history in it's original land now redirects to it's decline!

One more thing, the decline article is so poorly sourced that most of it will have to go, all that will be left will roughly equal a section. We can have Buddha's birth, Ashoka, Ashoka's messengers and other Sharamanas taking Buddhism to China, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Siam etc. the decline, revival and the works in the new section. Condensing the decline part will not be a problem.

I think we should rename and shift content. I will need a couple of days to come up with a history of Buddhism in India article since I'm busy till tommorow. I will experiment in my sandbox, please feel free to use it.

Hi DaGizza,

I came across Srkris and your proposal for a Hinduism Barnstar, and think it's a great idea. Because of the feedback there, I put together another version for people to consider. Here it is for you to look at, and Happy Birthday! ॐ Priyanath 16:03, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Another version for the Hindu Barnstar

Hi DaGizza, Here's another idea for the Hindu Barnstar Proposal. I don't know when this has to be decided, but I'm willing to tweak it next week if someone wants to propose something different. ॐ Priyanath 05:39, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

One article

[edit]

The birth of Siddhartha gautama, his travels, the Sangha, emperor Ashoka, Bodhidharma, Bodhiruci, Buddhabhadra (Batuo), Yogacara in Gandhara, Thousands of Indian monks in China for translation of Buddhist works, Shramanas taking Buddhism's message to foreign lands, Indian influence on East Asain culture (Sun Wukong and Guan Yin, which were influenced by Hanumana and Avalokiteshvara respectively and Pagodas influenced by Buddhist Stupas), the non-conversion principles of Hinduism in hindu kingdoms abroad which lead to ready acceptance of Buddhism by the natives who took to Indian culture but could not convert to it's religion, the invasions, decline, Ambedekar's version and the works need to be put in chronologically and with proper sources.

The articles in their present form are very oddly written and very poorly sourced. This is in addition to them claiming to address a topic and addressing only one aspect of it while not even mentioning the others. The articles also are based on hearsay. This seems very odd, some of the editors involved in this are experienced Wikipedians who could at least contribute to links, language and grammer.

I'll get to unifying the articles and seeing to it that they remain unified in a few hours. Surprisingly enough, both History and this article were created by Nat Krause. I'm surprised, I have talked to him before and I could only see genuine compassion in what he did.

Thank you DaGizza for your opinion...Yes I have always known that earning Featured articles is much, much better than having 50,000 edits. I was up late last night working on it and kind of hurried at the end. Cheers and once again I hope you hade a great b-day in the down under! — Seadog 13:19, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am trying to introduce a club for rugby league supporters that will be more than just a wikiproject and help to encourage rugby league participation and article improvement. I have written down some of my thoughts about what wikileaguies should attempt to do and would be interested if you, like other rugby league supporters, would be willing to be involved on some level. [2], leave signage and thoughts on the talk page if you are interested. Cheers. --Rugby 666 08:21, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

History of Buddhism in India

[edit]

Kindly take a look. I created the article in a hurry and much more needs to be added in , mythological and architectural influences in particular, which I will add in a bit. If you could possibly check the article and make corrections (in language in particular, my tone is not enclyclopedic) I'd appreciate it a great deal.

I'll work on a complete rewrite of the "Decline" article (found a lot of sources) ASAP. Given the amount of information available on the decline article, I'm having second thoughts about unifying it.
