The edit that you recently did at Detroit Institute of Arts really needs a reference or source to go along with it. Otherwise it appears to be pretty much your opinion, or worse, the dreaded original research. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 21:02, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * So if I can find a copy of "Diego Rivera: Science and creativity in the Detroit Murals" by Dorothy McMeekin,   then I will also find a reference to "the profiteering pharmaceutical industry?"  I'll look. Carptrash (talk) 04:45, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

I think perhaps you have the wrong idea about me. What I am trying to do is to have the information that you added stay in the article and perhaps at the same time encourage you to add more. However when you add something that can be seen by some editors as being controversial it is best to reference it. I have looked at the mural many times, including during the big Rivera show in 1986 when I shot this. I know what is there and have a pretty good idea of Rivera's intentions. In my own library I have about 5 books on Rivera, 6 on Mexican muralists, 4 or 5 on Tina Modotti and several more on Frida. I have pretty good coverage of his Rockefeller mural too. As far as I can tell you are new to wikipedia - new enough to not sign your last posting to me, for example, a robot had to do that. So, okay, I'll stop pestering you, but if you can't tell your friends from the others out here yours could be a tough stay. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 00:49, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry if I snapped at you, above. Let me suggest that you put something, anything, on your User Page. a simple "." will change your signature on your edits from red to blue.  This is one of the ways that other editors can recognize that you are not a brand new editor and often it earns you a bit of respect.  Upon getting on line and checking my email just now I discovered that I am due at play rehearsal, followed by band rehearsal in a very short time. Or I'd have written you a bit more.  About all sorts of wiki stuff. My goal is to convince you to stay here for more than 10 edits, or, failing that, to perhaps help you get those 10 edits in.

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Education in India. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Begoon &thinsp; talk 11:28, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

I will go on to add one more point that "Khaydock" POV is very wrong because of these :

1. Your own presumption that 'you BLOCK one service and other will get better' is baseless and wrong 2. BLOCK 'LPG Sale' and qualitative usage of 'Kerosene oil' will increase... 3. Since one minister said something and you suppose to be his fan so what YOU and He proposes is right??? 4. Quality of Education in India is wrong because of 'INEFFICIENCY' of people associated with it. 5. 'Tax planning' is very much legal in all democratic country...including India, America 6. Simple marketing maxim says - Two kind of people do not wish to pay - One, who do not see value in product/service Second, is Thieves etc. How good of you that you jumped directly that those who do not intend paying taxes are thieves. 7. Problem with GoI is inefficiency, Corruption, Egocentricity and NOT LESS TAX collection

Your self generated opinions are not only biased but is also very much undemocratic, what you are simply saying that 'RICH KIDS' Do not have right to have 'Good and Rich (high paying) education'??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shitas (talk • contribs) 02:16, 22 September 2013 (UTC)


 * 1-2. I never said or implied that if 'you BLOCK one service and other will get better.' I said that the Central Government is saying that they do not have the funds to fully support education (reference is to a direct quote made by Kapil Sibal when he was the Minister of Science and Technology in 2012). I also said that a Supreme Court Advocate has said that the Government could easily collect due taxes if they so desired (I also gave a reference for this). When one considers the magnitude of taxes not paid by large corporations such as Vodafone (Rs 11,000 crore for just this one corporation), and when one calculates how many Government teachers could be paid an entire year's salary of Rs 30,000/month with just this Rs 11,000 crore (Rs 11,000 crore/Rs 3,60,000 for one teacher's annual salary = 3,05,555 teachers!, one realises that it would not be difficult for the Central Government to fund good education for all children in good Government schools throughout the country.
 * 3. Whether or not I am a fan of Kapil Sibal is irrelevant to this argument, (but I am not his fan).,br.
 * 4. The quality of education at present is generally pitiful, which is due in large part to a shortage of teachers hired as regular government employees with good salaries, housing, healthcare, and pensions. If you doubt this, compare the situation in India to the situation in Finland, for example. We therefore have a very good reason to believe that education in India would be improved tremendously if more government teacher positions were filled (in schools as well as in Teacher Education Institutions, which are currently full of vacancies. What is the evidence that the problem is "inefficiency"? Rather, education is being commodified and the government is trying to get out of its responsibilities by encouraging privatisation. According to some powerful leaders, only a few need good education, since the main role of education, as they see it, is to pick a few students to go to the IIMs and IITs and join some profession - private schools can do this, and the vast majority does not require good education. If private schools were banned, government schools would certainly improve.
 * 5. What do you mean by 'tax planning'? Legalising the non-payment of taxes by legally allowing tax havens, etc? In India all these loopholes are not yet fully legal.
 * 6. What should we call those who do not pay their taxes? Are they not taking money which is not rightfully theirs?
 * 7. The GoI itself claims that it does not have adequate funds. It is a fact that there is an acute shortage of trained teachers with government jobs in schools (contract teachers with salaries of Rs 8000/-, 6000/-, or even 2000/- are instead being used. This is not what I would call 'inefficiency' or 'corruption'. It is being done openly and it does save the govt money. But it is wrong. Teaching needs to be a respected, highly paid job.Khaydock (talk) 04:33, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
