"The avalanche was down,
the hillside swept bare behind it;
the last echoes died on the white slopes;
the new mount glittered and lay still in the silent valley."
Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited

Drop by the talk page when you have some time? Skyerise (talk) 10:30, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Skyerise: I read the views-section, and the talkpage-threads, but it's unclear to me what I could contribute. I agree with your application of the word "spiritual"; is that still disputed? As an aside, I disagree with AH's take on perennialism: the 'essence' is not some common Godhead, but a common stance of non-attaching awareness and compassion. "Godhead" is metaphysics, an aid to detachment, not 'the' 'goal' itself. But that's an aside. Regards, Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 03:07, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, he was still pursuing "religious". And of course, that's exactly the problem with interpreting primary sources. Skyerise (talk) 13:37, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alt account

[edit]

Hello, I am wpondering if you could help with some information regarding editors with alt accounts, there has been a editor that has started doing some large edits on some off the Buddhist pages that you would be aware of. Does a wiki editor have to declare when they have another account, if they do and they haven't done this what is the next step. Thankyou for your time Foristslow (talk) 07:47, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Foristslow: yes, an WP:Alternate account has to be disclosed. Who is the editor in question? Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 07:51, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for getting back to me it is a editor by the name of Likes Thai Food. Foristslow (talk) 08:28, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think they're very good; what alternate accounts could they be using? Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 17:59, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
editor.The editor in question has not verified their account and obviously they have vast experience with editing 8n comparison to time first joined. So if I want to get this investigated what do I do next.Thank you for your time Foristslow (talk) 08:42, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You can ask the editor themself if they have edited before? Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 09:11, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
i think if they were going to be honest they would be transparent with a legitimate account. So what is the process to have 5his investigated. Thankyou Foristslow (talk) 09:51, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So you think that there is nothing unusual about the account, that it is unlikely to be a Alt account and that it doesn't warrant investigation is that what you are saying. Do you think other experienced editors would concur with you. Foristslow (talk) 22:05, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sikhism

[edit]

Hi. Just reverted some more edits in Sikhism article after you've reverted some. Not quite sure if that's the last good version. Please review if possible. Thanks. Rasnaboy (talk) 18:09, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Rasnaboy: I checked some more edits; I think it's okay so. Regards Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 18:43, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Better to deprecate the source, or it may become an obstacle (Because, obviously, Wikipedia editors know better)

[edit]

Lal bhargava 1996, pp. 44: "It is interesting to leam that the king left his palace to offer sacrifices also. The fact probably shows that Chandragupta was a Brahmanical Hindu at least for the greater part of his life, although he inclined towards Jainism during his last days, according to Jain authors" Jaybjayb (talk) 18:45, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And, what's your point? Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 19:10, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Either you pretend to be ignorant and oblivious to the things I say, or maybe I just overestimated your intelligence and impartiality. Or perhaps you are just a pretender with some motives of your own, or you think you are extremely smart and everyone else (especially me) is an idiot. Maybe it's all of the above.
I don't even blame you for being biased about certain things, as we are all human and not perfect. However, your double standards are baffling. I have also noticed that whenever something irks you, an IP or a random new account with deliberately broken English suddenly appears and deltes what irks you. If someone responds to them, you are always the first to counter it. Maybe i am overthinking this one but what do you do might be called POV pulling?
This is very confusing for me, and any conversation with you does not prove to be fruitful. You have a set mindset that cannot be changed, nor do I wish to be a lone warrior representing my side in this information warfare. The world's population is 7 billion, meaning there are 7 billion types of people, and I am not going to waste my energy arguing with highly motivated individuals. This is the last time I am bothering. Do what you wish. However, there will be severe pushbacks in the future when more people get involved in Wikipedia. For now, enjoy your 'POV pushing,' (in an already messed up free platform) which spans multiple South Asia-related topics. I am sorry but i am extremly frustrated and disspointed and would hope i never come accross you in any topic ever again. Ill avoid. You won. Jaybjayb (talk) 19:38, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:GOODFAITH, WP:PERSONALATTACKS, and WP:CASTINGASPERSIONS. Ping User:Abecedare to expose your stance. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 04:34, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Expose what? I am already an open book, unlike you. You needed some exposing, and the way you always act whenever someone tries to criticize your edits is like a small, spoiled kid calling for their badass father (or maybe fathers) every time they feel uncomfortable. As I said, I am going to avoid you. So chill and relax! Jaybjayb (talk) 07:10, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Any idea who this is?

[[[User talk:TipTap21#July 2024]]]. Thanks Doug Weller talk 19:08, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, this is a separate issue, but rings a bell. [[[User talk:TuberGotTubed#List of wars involving Punjab moved to draftspace]]] Doug Weller talk 19:16, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
