Editing Lobsang Tanzin
Dear Melbournestar,

Given my last amateurish attempt at editing pages on Wikpedia,I have come up with some credible data and sources for the same. It would be great if you could have a look at it. I will need your expert advice at this.

I have the data in a word doc. I am not sure how to share it with you. Please let me know if I could send it to you in a mail or if you have any other suggestion.

Introduction- Main Image 1 or Main image 2 Lobsang Tenzin, better known by the titles Professor Venerable Samdhong Rinpoche (zam gdong rin po che) and to Tibetans as the 5th Samdhong Rinpoche (born 5 November 1939), was the previous prime minister (officially Kalon Tripa, or chairman of the cabinet), of the Central Tibetan Administration, or Tibetan government-in-exile, which is based in Dharamshala, India; Lobsang Sangay was elected to this position in April 2011. (Text source same as wikipedia)

Early Life –

Lobsang Tenzin was born in Jol, in eastern Tibet in 1939. At the age of five, he was recognised, according to Tibetan tradition, as the reincarnation of the 4th Samdhong Rinpoche and enthroned in Gaden Dechenling Monastery at Jol. Two years later he took vows as a monk, started his religious training at Drepung Monastery in Lhasa and completed it at the Madhyamika School of Buddhism.(Text source same as wikipedia)

Exile to India and life as an educationist-

After his training in Lhasa, he fled to India in 1959 after the Chinese siege of Tibet. From 1961 onwards Rinpoche worked in various Tibetan schools as a teacher. From October 1961, he served as the religious teacher of Tibetan School in Shimla and in 1963 served as the acting Principal. In 1964 he worked as religious teacher of Darjeeling Tibetan School and in 1965 at the age of 26, he was appointed as the Principal of Central School for Tibetans, Dalhousie and served there till 1970. He received his Lharampa degree in the year 1968 and Ngagrimpa degree in 1969. In 1971 he became Principal of Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies (Now known as the Central University of Tibetan Studies) at Sarnath and later served as the Director from 1988 to 2001. Shortly after his flight from Tibet, 1960 in New Delhi From 1994 to 1995, he was awarded National Lectureship from Indian Council of Philosophical Research (ICPR), New Delhi. He assumed many important responsibilities including President of the Association of Indian Universities (AIU), a strong academic group of more than 250 Vice-Chancellors of Indian Universities, First Chancellor of Sanchi University of Buddhist-Indic Studies, Govt. of Madhya Pradesh and Chairman of various Trust and Foundations. Rinpoche is one of the very few Buddhist scholars in the world with this depth, experience and clarity in Buddhist philosophy and he also spent many years exploring directly with J. Krishnamurti, who was one of the great educationists in India. With J.Krishnamurty Rinpoche has been an honored guest at many forums in India. He has spoken on challenges India faces today, and has stressed on inclusion of the poor masses in development of the country.

Advocacy and teachings-

Rebiya Kadeer, an activist on behalf of the Uyghur people, and Samdhong Rinpoche, the prime minister of the exiled government of Tibet, spoke at an event hosted by Stanford's Friends of Tibet. Samdhong Rinpoche is an advocate of Gandhian philosophy and is a lifelong campaigner of non violence and is on the board of trustees of Swaraj Peeth Trust a Gandhian centre for non violence and peace. He has held lectures and talks with exchange groups in countries like Germany, Switzerland and USA and has spoken extensively on the Buddhist ideology and its importance in contemporary politics and economy. A large score of his lectures on general subjects like peace, happiness and compassion, electoral reforms, modern ethics, the environment, Swaraj and non violence are available in audio and video on his website and soundcloud.

Stance on the ‘middle path’-

Rinpoche is a staunch supporter of the middle path and in sync with the views of the Dalai Lama. He is of the opinion that the Tibet issue is alive on the international forum and has received widespread support due to its right direction and commitment to non violence. In his own words “Tibet cause is a just cause and not a power struggle. It is neither a political struggle nor a battle against the system. It is the struggle between truth and falsehood; justice and injustice.” A lifelong campaigner of Gandhian principles, he seeks not only political freedom for the Tibetan people but also to preserve the Tibetan Culture. In an interview he said, “Our ultimate goal is not just political freedom but the preservation of Tibetan culture. What will we gain if we win political freedom but lose what gives value to our lives? It is why we reject the option of violence. For respect for life is an inseparable aspect of the Tibetan culture we are fighting for."

Political activities-

Rinpoche served twice as the Speaker of the Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile from 1991 to 2001. In 2001, he became the 1st ever democratically elected Prime Minister (officially Kalon Tripa) of Central Tibetan Administration or Tibetan government-in-exile, and served for two consecutive terms till 2011. Rinpoche taking Oath Rinpoche contributed in drafting the new constitution of Tibetan Government in Exile, educational and economic reforms, Rinpoche also insured the actions and policies of non-violence, transparency, environmentally sustainable and organic farming. Rinpoche has been working very closely with His Holiness the Dalai Lama. During Rinpoche’s Prime Ministership, he negotiated with the Chinese officials to bring a suitable solution to the Tibetan cause. A close aid to The Dalai Lama

'''Boycott of the exiled Tibetan Govt. Elections-'''

In March 2016 Samdhong Rinpoche refused to cast his vote in the elections for the post of Sikyong (Prime Minister) citing unhappiness with the competitive nature of the elections which witnessed widespread campaigning. He quoted, “I didn’t cast my vote as the exiled government was based on the principles of Swaraj of [Mahatma] Gandhi Ji. It didn’t involve competition or opposition. But, nowadays, representatives are involved in opposing each other through their individual campaigns. Therefore, I think, the exiled government is not heading in the right direction,”

Blacklist
Here is an article outlining the popular theory from TV Guide:

http://www.tvguide.com/news/the-blacklist-red-reddington-liz-mom-mother-theory-katarina/

Either way though, the facts are not correct in the article. Even if you do not wish to put the theory up there, which has all but been confirmed at this point, the previous version stated something along the lines that "Red admits he is her father." In point of fact he admits only that "She is his daughter", which of course is a big difference given that he is actually her mother. I would at least let those changes stand if you do not wish to put all the changes in. I appreciate the feedback, hope that helps! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.121.160.18 (talk) 14:37, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi there, welcome to Wikipedia.
 * In the source you've provided, could you please indicate to me where it explicitly states that Red is Liz's father? regards, —<b style="color:#E22">Mel</b><b style="color:#F20">bourne</b><b style="color:#F73">Star</b> ☆ <sup style="color:#407">talk 11:43, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

From the original wiki article: "Red is confirmed as Liz's father in "Dr. Adrian Shaw: Conclusion."

and: "In "Dr. Adrian Shaw: Conclusion", while Red is being held captive and threatened by Alexander Kirk, Red admits that he is in fact Elizabeth Keene's father."

In point of fact he does not admit he is her father, rather in that episode he is asked, "Is masha your daughter." To which he replies in the affirmative. Those words were very deliberately used as most people will draw the conclusion that he is her father. However, all the other evidence points towards Reddington actually being Katarina--Liz's MOTHER, having assumed the real Red's identity in an effort to protect Liz/Masha from her enemies. Again, it's a theory, alebit a correct one, that Reddington is actually Katarina, but if you don't want to put that in I understand. I would, however, make it clear that there is ambiguity over whether or not he admitted to being her father to leave open the possibility (which will be revealed as the show progresses). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.121.160.18 (talk) 11:57, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Liberal Party of Australia edits
Dear MelbourneStar, In regards to the recent reversal of my contributions to the Liberal Party of Australia page in the ideology and political position fields, I put those edits in to inform the public on what the party was about and where it stands. Intentionally leaving those fields blank, whether intentionally or not, is like removing the bus stop signs or any other indication of a bus stop along a bus route and expecting the driver to know where to stop. Quite frankly, I find that highly unreasonable and potentially misleading. I hope you can understand where I am coming from. User:Futuramaking2999.
 * welcome to Wikipedia. Whether I agree with you or not regarding the ideological position of the party, is not really relevant, because this is about consensus. The ideological position of the Liberal Party, and indeed the Labor Party, has been widely discussed across both articles' talk pages. Currently, consensus among the community is that ideologies be left blank, as to avoid conjecture. By conjecture, I'm referring to the fact that both parties encompass a lot of political terrain from the right all the way to the left, and it is nowadays difficult to determine where parties stand ideologically (this is also reflected in reliable sources which are unable to form a uniform ideology for either party).


 * If you really want ideologies to be present, you will need to bring about a discussion on the article's talk page – here – gain the community's agreement, and then proceed with making such changes. Until then, the ideological field will be left intentionally blank.

RE:DELETION OF ARTICLE ON LATEEF BAKARE
I curated an article on Lateef Akande Bakare and it was flagged for deletion even while I was still working on the said article.The character in focus is a well-known accountant in Nigeria but unfortunately most of the references that can be cited on him are not notable to the standard of Wikipedia.In fact some of the interviews he granted some newspapers some years back are not searchable again online because links to them are not available...I had an opportunity of interviewing this fellow in 2008 in the course of my working as a journalist here in Nigeria.The interview was published both online and offline but unfortunately,the online edition is not available again.I have decided to create an article on him because much of the information about him is not online,hence it may be difficult for future generation to know about this man who has done much for humanity.I am of the view that if the article is allowed to go live,many persons/Wikipedia users who are familiar with him my cite some acceptable references about him.In  this regard,I want to suggest that the notice of deletion placed on the article should be removed and allowed to be published immediately,particularly when I have supplied some references on the article that substantially meet the Wikipedia standard.

Discretion as to whether or not to continue to pursue this deletion discussion lies with the user who initiated it, user .

Re:Deletion of article on Lateef Bakare
As I said earlier,the article was flagged for deletion when I had not made any reference to it.Since the notice was given,I have made about 11 reference additions to the article.So by all respects,this is significant.I hold an opinion that more,significant and decent contribution may be generated on the article if ti is published so that some persons outside this platform who may have some things to add are given the opportunity.Instinct71 (talk) 12:44, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

It seems like someone rudely used my email address without me knowing. And I can assure you it was not me because I never knew what AYBABTU was until I found my email address posted there just a couple of days ago, and I never replace [@] or [.] with [at] or [dot].

Wikipedia & Youtube Project
Hi MelbourneStar,

My name’s Alex. I’m a student at American University, and I’m working on a project on Wikipedia and Youtube. I noticed you made a relatively large amount of edits to the List of Youtubers Wikipedia page and I was wondering if I could get your input on a few questions.

1. After talking to a few Wikipedians and doing some research, it seems as though Youtubers have a harder time obtaining a Wikipedia page and/or higher quality pages than other “traditional” professions. Do you agree with this assessment? If so, why do you think this is?

2. What could Wikipedia change to better accommodate notable figures from newer platforms like Youtube? What could Youtube do to better live up to Wikipedia standards?

3. If you could change the guidelines on Notability in any way, what changes would you make and why? If not, why do you think they’re stable enough that future societal progression could still be covered equally?

I look forward to hearing back from you.

 * Hi apologies for my belated response! I, too, have been quite busy doing uni assignments left, right and centre, and have finally found a window of time to respond.

These are my answers to your questions:
 * 1 — I sort of agree with the notion that YouTubers have a more difficult time obtaining a Wikipedia article and/or higher quality articles. It is important to recognise that Wikipedia is always evolving and changing over time (we're only a few years older than YouTube), and thus, our approaches over time will change. Notwithstanding this, Wikipedia has plenty of biographies of living people notability guidelines which govern what we write, and if a YouTuber does not meet a certain threshold (ie. as described here, or here) then an article cannot be created at this time. But this is the same approach we use for musicians, actors, performs, and so on.
 * 2 — I think gradual changes at Wikipedia are happening in terms of how we accommodate notable figures from newer platforms such as YouTube; take a look at this revision from 2007 of the List of Youtubers article. Compare it to today's revision. You can see what a difference 10 years makes.
 * YouTubers are certainly branching out more than what they did a decade ago, which also helps. Collaborating with established celebrities, making headlines, singing, turning to acting, etc. — as a Youtuber goes up the ranks in terms of their outreach, then of course, they will be in-line for an article to be created on them.


 * 3 — I'm of the opinion that Wikipedia's notability guideline is fine as it is. Just remember, Wikipedia is the world's largest encyclopedia (ever) — we already accommodate for topics that the traditional encyclopedias do not. For example: try to find any of the YouTubers (with articles) listed in this Wikipedia article on Encyclopædia Britannica. You may run into a small problem looking for most (if not all) YouTube entries from that Wikipedia article on the Britannica site. Why? hint: because there are no articles.


 * I hope my responses suffice. I wish you all the very best with your assignment! Kind regards, —<b style="color:#E22">Mel</b><b style="color:#F20">bourne</b><b style="color:#F73">Star</b> ☆ <sup style="color:#407">talk 14:23, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
