Content requires sources
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Abhishek Bachchan and Upendra and Shivrajkumar, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Active Banana    (bananaphone  00:50, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Stop blindly changing religion to Hinduism in all sorts of articles. You are adding wrong information in articles like M. Karunanidhi and Mayawati where the text shows they are of some other religion.--Sodabottle (talk) 03:37, 23 December 2010 (UTC)


 * And you are removing references, that say otherwise, this is considered disruptive behaviour in wikipedia. Please stop doing this.--Sodabottle (talk) 03:42, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Kindly request to stop adding unreferenced information to the articles, and especially revert editors who undo your unreferenced additions. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 04:58, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced content. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. AtticusX (talk) 06:00, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

This is your last warning; the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Ashok Gehlot, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. -- Diannaa (Talk) 06:28, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Materialscientist (talk) 06:34, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

will contribute in future with sources.
Hi All,

it seems you all are editing wiki since from long time. I have all respect to you for doing that.

In future, i will edit with reference. But, i need your help in this. AP CM Kiran kumar reddy belongs to Hinduism Religion. Where do we get reference for this. Or for that matter, where do we get reference for anybodys religion. its only that, we know it personally.

Also, HP CM Premkumar Dhumal belongs to Hinduism Religion. He is from BJP party & belongs to Hindu religion. What else proof do i need to provide.

Anyways, let know, how to do it according to rules & policies of wiki.

Also, i have updated religions of prominent hindus. I also dont see SOURCES for many of non-hindus, where religion is maintained for them. How do you guys justify this????

If you cannot justify, then, all of people's RELIGION should be removed, where SOURCE is not maintained.

 * Other stuff exists is not a valid argument to add what you "know personally". In many articles you were clearly adding the wrong religion. For example buddadeb battacharya and M. Karunanidhi are self proclaimed atheists. Add if you can find a published source says "X is a hindu" add it to the article. Else refrain from doing so. Saying someone is in BJP, so he is a Hindu is not a correct argument (by that logic shanawaz hussain and saeed naqvi will become Hindu).


 * In short add the religion only if backed up by a reliable source--Sodabottle (talk) 08:59, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

-- I agree to most of your points. But, you didn't answered all my questions as well. ANyways, i will be adding with reliable source from now onwards. Now, i am adding hinduism religion to Radha Mitchell(hollywood actress). Below is the source for that,

http://www.amazon.com/Australian-Hindus-Viswalingam-Purushottama-Bilimoria/dp/1157425844 (source 1) http://www.eforu.com/Celebrity/R/Radha_Mitchell.html (source 2). http://radhamitchell.fansiter.com/ (source 3).

Added the reference as well. Let me know your thoughts ............

 * Please avoid using self-published and blog sites, they are not considered as reliable sources on wikipedia. When using books, it is preferred to link to Google books rather than Amazon. That book might be Ok (though I'm worried about its publisher) if page numbers are specified, other 2 sites likely not. Materialscientist (talk) 03:20, 25 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Sarasin20, I have reverted your addition to Radha Mitchell again. Of the three sources you provided two are fansites and those do not meet our reliable sources guidelines. The third book "Australian Hindus" by Books LLC is compiled from Wikipedia itself. (see ). The publisher usually takes a category from Wikipedia and publishes the articles in it. It is a case of circular referencing. So we cannot use either of these three references.


 * The best reference i can find says she he has had a "hind upbringing" and nothing about her current religion. This fact is already mentioned in the article. So unless we find a reliable published source that says her current religion is "Hinduism", we better leave it as it is now.--Sodabottle (talk) 03:49, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
