Hinduism page
Please don't make unfounded assertions, such as certain scholars are not universally accepted. Also as you argued on the Gautama Buddha page, all points of view should be presented. Moreover there were several errors in which the source texts did not say what was claimed. Lastly, some tantric Shaivaites do not accept the Vedas as authority. Thank you for your cooperation in advance. CO2Northeast (talk) 19:01, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Definition of religion
Please top editing and reverting back Hinduism article.I have noted your course of actions are more about maligning and diluting the truth and factual knowledge which is against the Wikipedia guidelines. If this continues, i will personally make sure of reporting it directly to higher authorities. And will make sure that this gets a bigger light of picture in public. Secondly, i will keep changing it back to "religion" even if you revert it.

You are no one to define what Religion means in Western World, because below is the Oxford Dictionary Meaning of Religion. http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/religion Oxford Dictionary meaning of: religion the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods: ideas about the relationship between science and religion [count noun] a particular system of faith and worship: the world’s great religions [count noun] a pursuit or interest followed with great devotion: consumerism is the new religion

Reverts in Hinduism
I saw that you have reverted all changes made by User:NagaSindu in his edit wholesale; I think it would have been better to proceed more selectively. Your point that Hinduism isn't exclusively monotheistic but diverse is certainly correct (however, you could argue it's not unlike Catholicism, where the "elite" version of the religion is exclusively monotheistic but folk religion may be polytheistic in practice, although Hinduism, unlike Catholicism, also includes atheistic individuals), but the changes to the earlier section didn't look bad to me, and didn't directly concern monotheism. Not to mention that he included references – though their validity would have to be argued on a case-by-case basis. Or is there a longer history behind that which I'm not aware of? --Florian Blaschke (talk) 16:12, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The user's edits were from a specific point of view and were not at all comprehensive. Hinduism is in no way a "monotheistic religion". Snowcream (talk) 03:38, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Reverts in Hindu philosophy
You reverted this in the article on Hindu philosophy. Your edit summary was: "Hindu philosophy neither obsolete not antiquated...". I think you have misunderstood the reason for placing the link to ancient philosophy there. All schools of philosophy that flourished before 6th century CE are classified as ancient philosophy. Since, all the six āstika schools and the three nāstika schools flourished before this time they can be classified as such. This classification was never intended for medieval schools of philosophy such as Advaita Vedanta, Shaiva Siddhanta, Kashmir Shaivism etc. Of course, I have no issues with you rewording or even deleting the link, if you still feel it implies Hindu philosophy is antiquated.

On a side note, please don't quote BRD as a policy. Besides, if you were following the BRD, the onus was on you to discuss once I reverted your edit, instead of reverting it again. That said, I am not very particular about getting the ancient word in the lead, especially if it leads to misconceptions like these.CorrectKnowledge (talk) 11:44, 3 July 2012 (UTC)


 * I believe that when i modified the sentence to ".. is traditionally divided into .."; it serves your concern. Snowcream (talk) 12:48, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

A Barnstar for you !!!

Kerala#Religions
It's regarding your revert in Kerala here. Also you have alleged the author Cyriac Pullapilly with some communal POV. If you have any concerns regarding the reliability of the source, you have to address it in WP:RSN. Currently, the same source has been used without any controversy in WP articles like Nambudiri, Caste system in Kerala, Ezhava etc. Next, you accused Casteist POV on the new contributions and I hope we could discuss to resolve this issue; I've opened a discussion in the talkpage of Kerala and expect your co-operation to improve the article. -- AshLey  Msg 08:46, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
 * over to talkpage of Kerala Snowcream (talk) 14:46, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I have reverted your good faith edits in Kerala since it seems contradicting the already cited source. Also I've some concerns regarding your reason cited to rename the section. Please discuss it too.  AshLey  Msg 13:57, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * If you are convinced we could save time: some veteran users conveyed that the the title "Religious traditions" is misleading as it it infers that the section would describe the various religious traditions of the people of Kerala. I also concur with it and hence the title was modified. I have tried to address your concern by modifying the title as "Kerala and ancient religious texts". Welcome your view. If you want to include a different view on the Bali story please cite a better source and avoid inserting within the cited text. Lets discuss it in article talkpage. I'll invite some veteran editors to review it.  AshLey  Msg 14:10, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Regarding changes made to Onam article
Hello, Thanks for leaving a message for me. I noticed your changes. The following are my observations. If you have any objections/observations, leave a message for me in my talk page. Machinist 88 (talk) 17:47, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I fully agree with you that Onam is a Hindu festival and I stand corrected.
 * I removed two of the pookalam pics you added and restored the vallamkali and pulikali pics based on the observations made on the article's talk page.
 * Also fixed some grammatical and typo errors that any of the subsequent edits have introduced.

Disambiguation link notification for February 24
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Indian Union Muslim League, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Yemeni (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Religion in Kerala
I would appreciate it if you would first discuss reverting to a copy of an article that is (say) more than a dozen edits (by registered editors) or a month or so old. Thanks. Student7 (talk) 18:53, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
 * It finally dawned on me that you didn't revert to a prior version, but rather picked up a past version you liked. Edited it offline someplace, then replaced the current version. So we have no idea how far back this reversion goes. This is not really considered cricket for a long-time article. Please revert first, then make changes in place with edit summaries, so that those of us who watch the article can understand not only what you are doing, but why you are doing it. Thanks.

Kamala Surayya
I have reverted your edit on the page. I wonder why have you removed the reasons given by the writer herself for her conversion while some biased writer's version has been given prominence. Also I had read somewhere that Leela Menon's claims were refuted by MD Nalappat. Malayala Sahityam (talk) 05:13, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
