Suggestions for dealing with Tequendamia
I would love to help, but I am probably not the best candidate because I need to sleep right now (It's 1:30 am where I live) and I have only a superficial knowledge of India. However, I would make two suggestions based on my review of the dispute:


 * 1) If he is adding information to the wrong articles, try directing him to a relavent page where he can add the information. Caste, perhaps? It appears to have sections for various countries. Some of his information is referenced and would merit inclusion somewhere.
 * 2) Try refactoring his additions to articles into neutral prose rather than using whole-sale reversion. This may be irksome to you in cases where you disagree with his statements, but if you are able to rewrite his POV-laden statements into neutral ones, it should simultaneously improve the article's comprehensiveness, calm him down, and improve your own ability to disasssociate yourself emotionally from the subject matter. It would similarly be good of you to stop removing his talk page comments. It will simply escalate the dispute by angering him.

Best of luck to you, the best way to deal with people like him is to stop viewing them as opponents and instead attempt to work with their contributions, insisting on sources but allowing their sourced information into the articles after it is neturally rewritten. By doing this, you will hopefully be able to train them in neutral writing so that they become a valuable contributor, rather than alienating them. I'll also leave a note by Teq's talk page before I go to bed. --tjstrf 08:42, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

My diffs:


 * No I have not.I am very careful not to violate 3RR EVER!I rarely even violate 1RR unless it's overt vandalism.

None of the diffs beyond my first revert for the day were reverts. See for yourself:

Not a revert: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indian_caste_system&diff=81970320&oldid=81968853

Not a revert: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indian_caste_system&diff=81972522&oldid=81970739

Terry's reverts lie between these diffs.

In fact, it was User:TerryJ-Ho who started the reverting of my extremely well-sourced edits with a summary that shows clear WP:NOR violation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indian_caste_system&diff=81969852&oldid=81968853

and

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indian_caste_system&diff=81971875&oldid=81970739

Both of his (not mine) edits are bad faith reverts of my sourced edits with his dubious assertions and attributions to sources that don;t contain the things he says they do.

Plus, latter edit diffs:

Not one revert among these: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indian_caste_system&diff=81988861&oldid=81986851

In contrast, all of Teq's edits WERE revertsHkelkar 13:27, 17 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm declining to unblock. Looking through the diffs, you removed the "racism" category 4 times.  Although you also added new categories, that's a revert-based edit war, which is what the 3RR really refers to.  You're right that Tequemandia was violating the 3RR, but he has also been blocked for it. Mango juice talk 13:55, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I am assuming good faith in your case. I have your word that you will not be breaching WP:1RR on a single article. Discussion on talk pages is always a better way to resolve disputes. In case you have a problem with another user, you could try Dispute resolution or contact another user/administrator who has been regularly contributing on the topic or might be knowledgeable on the subject.

Your perspectives
You claim to be Jewish, however, you're as defensive of Hinduism and accusatory of anti-Semitism as User:Shiva's Trident. Another reason why I still believe you're the same person. BhaiSaab talk 16:35, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Great! BhaiSaab talk 16:38, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Hello dear user BhaiSaab. I totally agree with you ! I've been also accused of antisemitism by Hkelkar (see my user talk page on ) simply because I used the word 'neocon'. But the funniest of all is that User:Shiva's Trident (also known under the name Netaji) introduces himself as neocon !. May be it's time to settle that case once and for all. We can mail-exchange info if you like. All the best and congratulations for your win. TwoHorned 17:22, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Indian Buddhist Movement
HKelkar you can certainly give positive OR negative inputs but please don't revert SOURCED edits of others. The whole article Indian Buddhist Movement from first line shows references and links. Ambedkaritebuddhist 10:09, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I removed them because they were partisan and doubtful per WP:RS. YOU removed MY edits DESPITE that fact that were ourced by NON-PARTISAN periodical "The-Week" and not some Neo-Buddhit mouthpeice.Hkelkar 10:14, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * The link of The-Week? I don't know whos mouthpeice is it? If it is related to Buddhists in India and value add to the article then we can put that link. Ambedkaritebuddhist 14:30, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

India dont have any neo-Buddhists but have few BUDDHISTs
HKelkar what is neo-Buddhist population? Where do we find details about their population? Because now-a-days in USA/Europe and India many people are converting to Buddhism because of its Prajna (Understanding), Love and Peace loving nature. But all these people are called as Buddhist. There are philosohpically different schools but the Buddhist world is united. About India before making any comment please go through the OFFICIAL INDIAN GOVERNMENT DATA about Buddhist population in India. Census of India 2001 DATA ON RELIGION Accept legal things only. Wikipedia believes in FACTS! Brush up bacis knowledge about Buddhist Population in India and also growing numbers. MY COUNTRY INDIA counts population Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains few other religions also but not neo-Buddhists. Where are these people? There is also another category known as Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes who constitutes approx. 25% population of whole India. These SC/ST majority illeterate very poor, oppressed people are branded as Hindus! Some of these SC/ST people are Ambedkarites but they are also Hindus. SC/STs are NOT called as Buddhists!! That is why Buddhist population in India is only around 0.8% or less. But it is continuously growing because of religious conversion such as 14th Oct. 2006 events. There might be some anti-Buddhist mothpiece but MY COUNTRY INDIA gives details about Buddhist in India. Brush up your knowledge about Buddhist Movement in India. Understand the difference between different religions and then write. Your inputs are always welcome. Ambedkaritebuddhist 14:30, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Neo-Buddhists are part of a pattern that will lead to more NLFT's.Hkelkar 09:52, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * What is this Neo-Buddhist? Improve your knowledge about India and Indian Buddhist Movement. Read offical statistics and not junk available here and there.

Hkelkar you are branding Indian Buddhists terorrists like NLFT?? This is a serious point and I'll complain to Administrators. I have noted your point and anti-Buddhist sentiments even you equated peaceful Indian Buddhist with Militants of Tripura Ambedkaritebuddhist 17:03, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello again - I have (at last!) finalised my opinions on this case - see Talk:Tipu Sultan - I have tried to keep it fair, and offer advice to help the article move on - if I see blatant problems again in future by the editors involved, I will make more directed comments. Would you like to ocnsider the advocacy case closed for the time being? (I will, of course, always be available to help with anything :)) Thanks, M  a  rtinp23  19:03, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Also, with respect to personal attacks against you, it may be helpful, if you have diffs, for you to report the problems to an admin (look on IRC) and mention the RFCU case, after which the admin may decide to block all the socks, if the PA's are serious/sustained enough.

Hello
I have heard that you are an Indian Jew. Thats so interesting! How do you differ from mainstream Judaism? Do you also incorperate Hindu beliefs? GizzaChat  &#169; 02:32, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Well there are several small Jewish communities in India. I myself am essentially Konkani, but a Sephardic (Baghdadi) Jew on my Mother's side. She is descended from Iraqi immigrants and her family has been in Mumbai since the 19th century (not to be confused with the Beni Yisrael Jews who have been around for longer). My last name is derived from my father, who is a Hindu, as I'm sure you have guessed. My father's family are very devout worshippers of Krishna and also observe Ganesh Chaturthi..


 * I personally have not been a very observant Jew as such in the past, though I am learning more now. I did go to the Kenesseth Eliyahu (Bombay synagogue in Fort near Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus station) during High Holy days etc. Minyanim was always there though (at least 10 male clerics).


 * Regarding observance of Judaism, it is a complex matter. We follow the Commandments and the code of Moshe. While we are not strictly Orthodox (though some Indian Jews are, which is a recent development, long story there), we do follow some traditional practices like Daf Yomi (reading from Talmud), Dietary Laws (hoofed cud-chewing animals only, bled per Kashrut ), Shulchan Aruch (post-Talmudic Halakha laws) and regard the Gemara (which is like the Jewish "Upanishad" of sorts,, basically Rabbinical analysis of the Mishna of Talmud), among others.


 * Some Desi Jews have adopted Hindu customs over the years (like burning the dead etc.). We mostly dress like any normal Bombayite, including traditionals like Kurta-Pajama for men, Sari-Dupattaa for women etc so we adopted those too :).


 * We do have an ideological connection with Israel.It was the fount of Judaism and we are happy that it has been repatriated. Some Bombay Jews are politically left-leaning (my mum is a Congress supporter) though I support BJP. Hkelkar 04:31, 20 October 2006 (UTC)


 * That's interesting; when I heard you were Jewish, I assumed from your (Marathi) last name that you were one of the Bene Israel. --Xiaopo ʘ 02:53, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that's a common mistake :).Hkelkar 03:50, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Indian Buddhist Movement and Kelkars Serious comments

 * This is your last warning I'm afraid....Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 07:53, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Plese elaborate. These outlandish charges made by Ambedkaritebuddhist are just that, outlandish. He routinely conflates Indian Buddhism with Neo-Buddhism and that is the point I am trying to make.Indian Buddhism is normal everyday relatively harmless Buddhism practiced in India (Mahayana, Theravada, all that). Neo-Buddhism is the scientology of Buddhism, basically an exploitative and political cult.Hkelkar 08:02, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Edit warring
There seems to be a problem here. I know you have been warned and blocked for edit warring before. Let me be more explicit. Your recent edits to B. R. Ambedkar, Khalistan, Tipu Sultan, and Indo-Bangladesh Border Conflict of 2001, all seem to consist of edit warring, much of which is compounded by inappropriate use of popups in content reversions, and uncivil accusations of vandalism. Take note: edit warring is never acceptable, and 3RR is omly an upper limit, not an entitlement to any reverts at all; rollbacks with automated edit summaries are to be used for vandalism and self-reverts only, to do otherwise is to fail to provide adequate and necessary rationale for a revert of a good faith edit, and frankly, insulting; furthermore, vandalism is a bad-faith attempt to harm the encyclopedia, which means that good faith edits you agree with do not count, and calling them vandalism is uncivil. Please modify your behavior, and keep in mind that admins will block before 3RR when it is obvious that an editor is informed that edit warring is bad, and that they have a history of doing it anyway.

His personal attack prior to that: 


 * His contributions weren't personal attacks - he was commenting on the contributions, not the contributor. If he had have called you as a person malicious and vicious, then it would have been. However, referring to the addition of the template as the same term isn't. The second sentence of WP:NPA states: "Comment on content, not on the contributor." However, considering the apology, maybe some comprimise can be reached - I agree with you on that point, although it wasn't the best of form to try and pry out an apoligy by them. I'll make a post on the admin's talk page. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant 06:54, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Before that, on 22nd he was given a warning by User:Dmcdevit for edit-warring and terming others as vandals. He was unblocked before by Sir Nick for apologising on IRC and promising to change his behaviour. In light of all these, I felt that his recent comments are disruptive and hence the block. - Aksi_great (talk) 07:01, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Let me repeat what I said on irc. I made the statement in discussion without thinking. I then realized that it was a bad thing to do and then I apologized to Terry for making it. Since blocks are supposed to be preventative it is unwarranted in this case because there is no disruption left to prevent since I apologized to him andd regarded the matter as closed.Hkelkar 07:04, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * My contention is that the sequence of events in this case is distinctly different from the other two cases. In the other two cases I was blocked and then apologized. In this case, I made a statement, realized it was a bad thing, calmed down and made an apology, regarding the matter as closed. the sequence of events is an expression of regret for making the statement, not regret induced by a block, as it was in the last two cases. Since the regret is genuine, and the emotive state behind the statements nullified by the apology, I would say that the preventative measure is unnecessary.Hkelkar 07:34, 25 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Further sequence of events:I went to irc and tried to reason with admins there. I was subjected to a level of incivility, mockery and borderline vicious attitude that was unprecedented on wikipedia (particularly since I maintained civility at all times) and I do not believe that admin aksi_great and user Daniel.Bryant have acted professionally in this matter and consider their conduct unbecoming of their status.


 * I must say that I have had a very poor experience with such capricious admin who have, in my opinion, abused their authority assiduously.I ask that a completely impartial admin review this case (that means that an admin who was not involved in this or any related matter before) and analyze the past histories with a grain of salt.Hkelkar 08:33, 25 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm not an admin, and never claimed to be. I fixed your factual inaccuracies. Daniel.Bryant 08:44, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * If that is the case then your involvement in this matter is immaterial.Hkelkar 08:45, 25 October 2006 (UTC)


 * And your quest for being unblocked is becoming more and more unlikely. I am what is considered an "established editor" with 9000 edits, and calling their opnions and involvement "immaterial" is not going to help your cause. I'm sure that the next admin to come along will endorse your 3-day ban, considering your extensive history of being blocked, apologising, being given a last chance, and repeat. I think your luck has finally run out. Daniel.Bryant 08:48, 25 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Well you're certainly entitled to your opinion.However, I abjectly request that you refrain from expressing it in my talk page if you have nothing constructive to contribute. I am a fairly good editor on wikipedia even if I do say so myself, since I have made a good faith effort to source all of my edits based on strict adherence to WP:RS,WP:V and WP:CITE. I am not some troll who can be dismissed easily and can get some fairly strict admins of my acquaintance to back me up on this. I have consistently cited scholarly sources, both on and off line, and maintained a neutral narrative in all my edits. I think that a non-partisan admin will take note of this.Hkelkar 08:51, 25 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't think anyone cares whether you're the greatest editor or the worst, that's not the point. The point is that you have made personal attacks towards someone, and you've done it before, repeatedly, and have been warned multiple times. It's only for three days, so look at this as an opportunity to think it over and stay cool from now on. - Zero1328 Talk? 12:02, 25 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Dont worry Hkelkar, I have over 5.5k edits myself and am an "establised editor". I've confronted Akash about this and was extremely suprised by his actions. In an earlier time, I collaborated with him in a happy manner.Bakaman Bakatalk 04:24, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Caste
Hi Hkelkar, nice to know that you're contributing highly to Wikipedia. Keep it up. Remember, while removing tags, please try to find what the other party is trying to convey and consider their suggestions. I saw your edits to caste and you've worked in a very civil manner. I appreciate your good work. But remember, WP:NOT a Battlefield. So try to discuss with the other editors and reach a consensus. I wish you the best on your future work. Keep contributing..

 * could you speak on my behalf regarding this matter, since I have been blocked unfaily regarding this case?Hkelkar 07:31, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
