Question 1
What are the appropriate actions in a conflict with other editors or with an editor with agenda who does not quote RS but does not accept RS at the same time? Regards, Wikidās ॐ 15:17, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Formally and explicitly request that the source for the claims made be cited. Also, it is generally best to reserve judgement about other editors. One of the problems that will arise particularly in cases of religion is that parties on both sides will be as it were quoting from only the sources that support their side. Wherever possible, try to find sources supporting your own position which come from parties who do not have clear ties to one position or the other. John Carter (talk) 16:16, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

What can be a good reason to report anyone to admin?
Do I need to do it if say user Z contin.s. to do his disruptive edits? Regards, Wikidās ॐ 15:17, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Violation of policy or guidelines, although generally it's best to try to file an RfC or request a third opinion on the subject in advance, if for no other reason than to have additional witnesses regarding the misconduct. But they would definitely have had to violate policies or guidelines and seem to be persisting in such behavior. John Carter (talk) 16:24, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

What are the condition under which a sectarian views can be part of Wiki
For example small sect of Essenes has a view on 'Jesus' and on 'Christ' that is against the common practice of a majority of Christians, who of course represented in Wiki (as a majority). Under what condition their views, if sources or not, can form a basis of a separate or existing articles on Christianity? Regards, Wikidās ॐ 15:17, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Good question. Basically, the best way to deal with religious groups and content related to them is to bring the main article on the group up to as high a level as possible. Doing this both produces a very good main article on the subject, which tends to be the one which gets the most hits anyway, but also makes it easier to know which other content that for whatever reason doesn't qualify for inclusion in the main article but still meets WP:NOTABILITY and WP:VERIFIABILITY to be included elsewhere. Bahá'í Faith is a good example of an extant FA. Generally, the best thing to do is follow an extant model of what you're tying to do, like the article above, and go on from there. Thereafter, creating a navigation template to link the articles will generally follow. And, for the subarticles, the best way to proceed is to make the subarticles as broad as possible as well. So, for instance Gaudiya Vaishnava theology or some similar title would probably be a higher priority article than any particular beliefs. Ditto History of Gaudiya Vaishnavism and the like. Once those articles are up to a decent level, then one has a much better basis for establishing further subarticles based on the amount of reliable and verifiable sources available on the subjects.

Project/Portal
What are the elements, steps and automation options and tools? Are there nice examples of it or 'templates' to follow. Do not want to invent a wheel here. Wikidās ॐ21:31, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
