 * Hi, you will see that I felt it necessary to revert your addition to Kundalini yoga

for three reasons.


 * Firstly, it is out of place there (WP:COATRACK) as it concerns Yogi Bhajan rather than the wider topic of the type of yoga. Some of the material might be usable on Yogi Bhajan.


 * Secondly, the tone needs to be made wholly neutral, as Wikipedia does not adopt any point of view but reports neutrally on every topic (WP:NPOV).


 * Thirdly, it's clearly far too much for the context, WP:UNDUE, by the widest of margins. The material will have less of that problem at Yogi Bhajan, but it will still need to be carefully balanced and edited for strict neutrality of tone.


 * In addition, we don't use hyperlinks to web pages or other items outside Wikipedia in the main text of an article; we put such things inside citations ( tags). But that's just a matter of formatting.

I hope these notes will be helpful to you. One other thing will be worth knowing; the Yogi Bhajan article is, even after his death, heavily contested by his supporters, so you will need to take extreme care that everything you add is clear, concise, neutral, unambiguous, does not repeat anything already in the article, and 100% supported by the sources that you cite. Yes, it's that serious, so do take care if you decide to edit over there, things could easily get heated so do everything very cautiously. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:37, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
