A summary of site policies and guidelines you may find useful

 * "Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is.
 * Always cite a source for any new information. When adding this information to articles, using, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
 * We do not publish original thought nor original research. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
 * Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards.  User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided.  Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
 * Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources.  Real scholarship actually does not say what understanding of the world is "true," but only with what there is evidence for.  In the case of science, this evidence must ultimately start with physical evidence.  In the case of religion, this means only reporting what has been written and not taking any stance on doctrine.

Your edits to Shramana were reverted because discussing improvements or changes to the article is done on the article talk page (where you make new posts at the bottom, signing with four tildes, or ~ ). The article talk page may be found by looking to the top left hand side of the article. Please be sure in the future to discuss the article on it's talk page instead of in the article. Also, please be sure to site secondary sources, especially when it comes to religious doctrine or history, as primary sources open the door to original reearch. Furthermore, there is no "the" author of Wikipedia, there are thousands of editors. Ian.thomson (talk) 22:58, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
