Carmen Ortiz
Hello, I'm Hirolovesswords. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Carmen Ortiz seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 15:52, 27 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Per WP:UNDUE, criticism should be included if it can be sourced to reliable secondary sources and is presented responsibly, conservatively, and in a disinterested tone. Your edit did none of these things and should not be included. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 16:11, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Kalki Bhagavan
Hi, deleted per WP:CSD as a recreation of an article deleted via AfD. GiantSnowman 15:04, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The correct venus is WP:DRV. Regards, GiantSnowman 15:19, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I am happy to restore the article; however if so I will be taking it back to AFD for new consensus on notability. I hope that is a fair compromise? Please let me know. GiantSnowman 09:47, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Nomination of Kalki Bhagavan for deletion A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Kalki Bhagavan is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Kalki Bhagavan (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. GiantSnowman 17:00, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Kalki's Article's Update I am one of those users without a reliable/authority registered account @ WP; of which fact I am turning to dear Prodigyhk, askng him to keep-up (again) the good work @ Kalki_Bhagavan's article; so with that said, here are my requests:
 * My Reason to Ask/Arguments


 * My Requests
 * General Argument for Journalism : Please note that any kind of info is easily gathered by their own recorded/archived statements around the web of which here should only meet those reliabilities.
 * Kalki Bhagavan's 'deadline' has already been issued, as the December_21rst has been reached already and his Oneness University will no longer operate;
 * Once an individual is targeted by media, he/she gets a very strange fame;
 * Last Thoughts Neutrality :-)

 * The problem with the article is that it user:Mathew Timothy Stone has made this WP article his private blog . Based on his contribution history for the last many years, he seems to be an unscrupulous fellow, focused on throwing any dirt and controversial issue against Kalki Bhagawan. And does not allow any other user to add any comments, that do not meet his biased stance. Thanks for dropping in. Prodigyhk (talk) 23:56, 28 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. I would like to make a Consensus too. I've been reading your conversations on Kalki Talk page and I agree with you in come points. But the thing is, how are new refferences going to work if some users are insisting that they have to be NEWS refferences? Ive read the comments above and I agree; as the user above tried to say, in fact, in journalism, you just need to provide information gathered by a archived Press_statement, of which here we will consider a statement archived in the web that would meet the criteria of Journalism_ethics_and_standards, and that mean, NOT NEWS CHANNEL/JOURNAL links ONLY. Do you understand what I am saying? So, of course the Arjuna Aardag book sometimes will not meet the criteria; but some blogs and pages will. The Article has to be neutral; if some people are preaching like a lawyer around this one should immediatelly be warned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.135.5.171 (talk) 23:28, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Recent edits to Kalki Bhagavan As noted recently on the talk page at Kalki Bhagavan, this man is a highly controversial person, and any contentious biographical material must be supported by genuinely independent sources. Your recent edits were to reinstate a WP:OR external link and delete material that was well supported by independent sources. Please discuss such edits beforehand, on the Talk Page. Recently, you requested that other editors provide feedback on a biographical section that you were proposing. I have provided such feedback in quite a detailed manner. I request that you address the issues raised in my feedback, not least being your own potential WP:COI. Thanks M Stone (talk) 02:43, 30 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Conflict of interest at Kalki Bhagavan

Based on your editing pattern, and the conversation you recently attempted to delete from your User Talk page, you appear to have a conflict of interest at the page Kalki Bhagavan. I believe some explanation is called for. M Stone (talk) 20:53, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Response to your query posted here []Prodigyhk (talk) 05:52, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi
FYI - It is not normal to initiate conversations on other User's talk pages and then delete both them and the Talk-page-owner's reply. Other editors may not be as relaxed about such things as I am. As I said, you do seem to have nice format and copy styles. So if you know anything about Andhra Pradesh then there are a number of Islam articles that need improving, from Telugu or Urdu sources. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:33, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Talk with Mathew Timothy Stone

 * I for one, am not relaxed, either about the attempted deletion, or the conversation itself. The comment, particularly '…to keep-up (again) the good work' suggests that this has been happening for some time on the page in question. I have attempted to raise this issue with you, however, your response to date e.g. [] has been to avoid giving a straight answer. It is very difficult for other editors to act in good faith [], and to engage in discussion with you, when there is evidence you are editing on behalf of another person, or perhaps an organisation. The edits you have been making to date, certainly conform to the requests being made by the anonymous IP user. (It has also been the case for some time, when it was apparent you were not getting your own way, that you have continued with personal attacks against me, sometimes after making a show of being 'polite'. This is unacceptable behaviour for a Wikipedia editor.) Regarding COI, I would suggest you familiarise yourself with Wikipedia guidelines [], and declare, once and for all, what your relationship is with the subject of the article, or his organisation. M Stone (talk) 10:42, 1 May 2013 (UTC)


 * User Prodigyhk asked me at [] if I am the same person that used other IP´s there. In order to keep a good WP:GF tone, I am signing that response here as well. 177.159.22.51 (talk) 00:08, 2 May 2013 (UTC)


 * @ ProdigyHK, you're still not answering a fairly straightforward question. I wasn't enquiring whether you were editing on your own time, or interest. Most WP editors are doing so on their own time and interest. I was asking what your relationship was to the subject of the BLP and his organisation. To quote WP:COI: "When advancing outside interests is more important to an editor than advancing the aims of Wikipedia, that editor stands in a conflict of interest." Regarding the deleted conversation, I fail to comprehend your explanation. If it was an innocent one, why attempt to delete it in the first place? Regarding the BLP discussions to date, I have gone out of my way to spell out what the issues are, in what you disparagingly refer to as my using WP as a 'private blog'. In fact what I am doing, is spelling out, as clearly as possible, the issues relating to this particular BLP. By doing so, I am ensuring that these are recorded on the Article Talk Page, and can be reviewed by any future editor, who may not be completely familiar with the many issues specific to this BLP. What you have not done, to date, is address even a single one of these issues. M Stone (talk) 06:35, 2 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I currently have 122 pages on my Watchlist, excluding talk pages, and have been a registered editor for over 6 years. In that time, no one has ever conducted personal attacks against me of the kind you have been making. I will assume that you are, at the very least, a devotee of the guru – and perhaps associated with his organisation in some way. If that is the case, then attacking other editors in not the way forward. What you need to do is locate well-sourced material that demonstrates the purported 'good' work he is doing. (For example, I understand that one of the original stated aims of his 'trust funds' was to build housing for the poor. If such housing had ever been built, the press would have surely run coverage, with photos of the housing at various stages of construction. It should be a fairly simple matter to locate such coverage.) And if you want me to state my position, I have no reason to 'hate' the guru. Rather, I consider him to be a fraud. A charlatan who exploits people for his own ends. As it happens, there is a certain amount of well-sourced material that tends to support my position, which has been outlined in the article talk space. He has received such negative press, not because the news organisations are biased against him – but because there are significant question marks over his activities. For example, he appears to be lying about key events in his early life, and there are strong indications of financial impropriety by him and his family. But my personal position on such matters, or any other editor's position, is of little importance. Rather, it is all about independent sources. I can support my position with sources, and I suggest you start locating some to support yours. M Stone (talk) 22:10, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Maybe these sources below are useful for you in arguing that Nussbaum is not a neutral source, (and that she should not be called a "historian" when she is a philospher). --Calypsomusic (talk) 16:26, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

As I continued reading, however, I found myself starting to pull back from the trajectory of Nussbaum’s analysis. I myself have researched much of the same material that Nussbaum has (see, for example, Gerald J. Larson, India’s Agony over Religion, SUNY Press, 1995), but my findings are rather dramatically different from Nussbaum’s. What began to bother me about Nussbaum’s trajectory is that she is really not interested in the general issue of “religious violence” and the manner in which religious violence links up with religious sensibilities of one kind or another, whether perpetrated by the left or the right in India. What she is really interested in is mounting a political assault on what she identifies as the “Hindu Right,” and in this regard Nussbaum takes no prisoners. As the book unfolds, the Hindu Right becomes responsible not only for the tragedy at Godhra, but for anti-secularism, communalism, misogyny, casteism, excessive male aggression, and the distortion of history. As the book proceeds, the prose grows livid. Says Nussbaum: “Domination over Hindu women and violence against Muslim women lie deep in the Hindu right’s political consciousness” (187). Or again, “Fucking a Muslim woman just means killing her. Instead of murder necessitated by and following sex, the murder just is the sex. Women are killed by having large metal objects inserted into their vaginas” (209). “The Hindu male does not even need to dirty his penis with the contaminating fluids of the Muslim woman. He can fuck her with the clean nonporous metal weapon that kills her, while he himself remains pure. Nothing is left to inspire fear” (209). To put the matter directly, Nussbaum’s analysis lacks balance, nuance, and civility. In short, it is not only unpersuasive; it is a disservice to her subject. In her portrayal of the “The Human Face of the Hindu Right” (chapter 2), she discusses K. K. Shastri, Devendra Swarup, Arun Shourie, and Gurcharan Das, but there is hardly a paragraph about A. B. Vajpayee, L. K. Advani, K. L. Malkani, Murli Manohar Joshi, or any number of other more moderate spokespersons for a conservative Hindu politics. On the other side, Tagore, Gandhi, and Nehru are eulogized with little attempt to offer a nuanced historical assessment. ....Unfortunately, however, there is very little “public poetry” or “mutual respect” in Nussbaum’s own treatment of the “Hindu Right.”

in Journal of the American Academy of Religion Published on behalf of American Academy of Religion Volume 77, issue 4, pages 990-993 Published in print December 2009 | ISSN: 0002-7189 Published online October 2009 | e-ISSN: 1477-4585 | DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/jaarel/lfp061 The Clash Within: Democracy, Religious Violence, and India's Future. By Martha C. Nussbaum
 * The Clash Within: Democracy, Religious Violence, and India's Future. By Martha C. Nussbaum
 * Review by Gerald James Larson

This said, she makes huge leaps of argument without substantiating them, provides zero context and stands accused of several factual inaccuracies. This makes me query her credentials as a lawyer-academic. Nussbaum lacks the rigor one would have expected of a senior academic. http://desicritics.org/2007/05/24/024708.php

regarding these recent edits that you have raised in my talk page. I started work on this section about a month ago when an IP had deleted the sentence The advent of Islam introduced opium as a narcotic.[ref name="Chopra80"> Then, one of our regular users reverted the edit here and commented "should find better sources" To understand better, I started reading about the use of Opium in Ayurveda. Interestingly I found that Opium was not used for its narcotic value. But, for the treatment of diarrhoea and dysentery !! Since, it was a major difference, I decided to include this edit. Then, as I started reading, found other information about use of Cannabis and alcholic beverages that I felt would be interesting for a reader who visits this page.

Since, you had at the same time, put in the 0RR restrictions, did request feedback from other editors for my edits here and here. It was followed by a discussion here on the part about alcoholic beverages where the word "medicine" was used in the article. Following this, the edit was modified to meet the concerns raised by the other editor.

Then, when the entire section was removed again a week ago. Bladesmulti had requested editors to review and advice if the edit can go back in, here. Since there was no objection to this section, after a reasonable time I proceeded to include the text. Do, let me know if there has been any errors in my part and if any corrective action require to take.Prodigyhk (talk) 11:08, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Indian 500 and 1000 rupee note demonetisation, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. '' The edit  I am referring to is here. Additionally, you did not use an edit summary to explain what you were doing. 220  of '' Borg 10:47, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * user:220 of Borg As I remember, there were no "corrections in others' comments". If done, was unintentional. Only had including some subheadings for easier discussion. Anyway, thanks for dropping by and letting know you were irritated :D Prodigyhk (talk) 03:34, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Massacre of immigrants from Bangladesh at Nellie in 1983 UPI 21Feb1983.png
Thanks for uploading File:Massacre of immigrants from Bangladesh at Nellie in 1983 UPI 21Feb1983.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:39, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

Apparent conflict of interest at Kalki Bhagwan
Prodigyhk, it appears that you have a conflict of interest at the page Kalki Bhagwan, as per WP:COI. Please clarify the nature of your involvement with the subject and his Oneness Organization. merlinVtwelve (talk) 21:21, 15 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi merlinVtwelve I have known Sri Bhagavan now for nearly 30 years. I first met Bhagavan in the summer of 92. I like Bhagavan's teachings and use it in my life. I also like share his teachings to other people. I am a lay person. I am married. Have children. Live outside India. Have my own source of income. Hope that answers your queries. Prodigyhk (talk) 12:33, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Prodigyhk, firstly, please follow guidelines at WP:PRIVACY and refer to me by my WP username. It doesn't answer my question, which was posted on the article talk page. I am asking you to declare to other editors precisely what role you have played in setting up and running the Oneness organization in the region where you live. I would remind you of the following guideline, taken from WP:EXTERNALREL: "Any external relationship—personal, religious, political, academic, legal, or financial —can trigger a COI." merlinVtwelve (talk) 20:02, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Prodigyhk, I'll continue the conversation here, rather than at the article talk page. Reading your reply above: if you've known the subject of the article for nearly thirty years, it sounds somewhat like a personal relationship. And if you "first met him in 1992", this was a time before he was particularly notable, and it sounds as though you've met him more than once. I don't think you have previously mentioned this to other editors. To me, it sounds you have a rather privileged relationship with the subject, as most "ordinary" people have to pay large sums of money just for the honour of meeting him for a few minutes – as you would be aware. I'm no authority on WP:COI, but your response is already starting to suggest that you have a Conflict of Interest. However, in your reply above, you mentioned that you like to "share his teachings to other people". Returning to my original question, what form does this sharing take? As you are aware, in most parts of the world, there are key people who volunteer their time to prosthelytize the teachings of the Oneness organization. Note: I am not asking for personal details that would reveal your identity, or the region in which you live, etc. - I am asking whether you are one of those key individuals working in a volunteer capacity, e.g. organising meditation groups, publicising the organization's activities and so on in whatever part of the world you happen to be living. You have previously mentioned that you are editing in WP:GOOD FAITH, and I would suggest that, if this is the case, declaring any such activities or involvement with the Oneness organization is essential. merlinVtwelve (talk) 20:18, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Nellie massacre - UPI press report dated Feb 23 1983.png
Thanks for uploading File:Nellie massacre - UPI press report dated Feb 23 1983.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 12:16, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
