Hi Titodutta, thanks for your work at the Teahouse. I wonder if you got a chance to read the expectations for hosts at the Teahouse. They include, 3- Keep it simple. Explain as much as possible, as simply as possible, to new editors when answering questions. (Don't use wiki jargon!) and 4- Avoid over-linking when responding to questions. Wikipedia policies, procedures, and documentation are overwhelming to many editors. Do your best to explain processes and policies and answer the guest's particular question rather than pointing them to more documentation as a first resort... I would appreciate if you would explain a little more with your answers. Thanks again for all your help! heather walls (talk) 00:39, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Debipaksha, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Trishul (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hi
When you login to edit the page at Deaths in 2013, you will see the following message displayed:
"Attention editors This list includes all biological deaths (human, animal, and other living things), and entries must be notable enough to warrant their own Wikipedia article, whether or not that article currently exists. If you are here to remove an entry, please ensure that you apply this accepted standard."
In a nutshell, this is telling us signed-in editors that, if there is to be an entry of a death, it has to be of sufficient notability to allow wikilinking. Rather than remove wikilinking of any deceased's name on this page, you merely need to remove the entry as a whole - IF you are absolutely sure of the lack of notability in such a case. Might I also add that the convention regarding entries on that page is usually to allow the notability, or lack of, to succeed or fail over time, by displaying the redlink. The entry can be removed at a later date, after review. On this occasion however, I have no doubt you are correct, am in agreement regarding non-notability, and have removed the entry altogether. This should solve the problem once and for all. Best wishes to you. Ref (chew)(do) 13:32, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Please take a look at User talk:CorrectKnowledge#Mythological content in historical section. Sudhirkbhargava has been adding very early historical dates and other fringe stuff to many articles despite consensus at this RSN thread and my repeated attempts to explain why those edits are inappropriate. I think he is a good faith contributor, but clearly someone needs to review his edits, maybe even adopt the user. 197.* is currently involved in a discussion here and in edit wars on a few other articles. My involvement hasn't really worked in the past, so I am staying away from this. Please take a look into it. If nothing changes someone might have to raise WP:CIR concerns.

I please request for the Manusmṛti page to be reviewed to remove non-factual and misleading content presenting mythological content as being factual, and for other misleading content with the intention of presenting it as reality and glorifying it using unproven claims.
The user User:Sudhirkbhargava has made many misleading edits to that page that present mythological events unproven by archaeology as real historical events and also provides other misleading information presenting the mythological figure Manu as a historical person whose laws were followed in South-East Asia before the rise of Buddhism in India although no credible evidence for all these claims exist that are accepted by mainstream archaeology and historical sources.
The reasons given by the user who did this edit for replacing the information in that section are ideologically/politically biased, not supported by any archaeological and historical evidence and are either completely unproven or any conclusive evidence supporting these claims is absent.
Here is a compilation of all the misleading edits made to this page.
This user has also done many similar edits on pages relating to Indian mythology and history by adding mythological content and dates to historical content and by adding unproven archaeological/historical contents to pages relating to Indian mythology, especially to pages relating to Bhargava, Bhrigu, Manu and Dhosi Hill as can be seen from this user's contributions. Most of the information added is either directly cited from mythological texts or is fringe theory, politically biased, non-factual and contrary to any information obtained from archaeological, geological and historical evidence and seeks to glorify some aspects of history and mythology in a biased way while being detrimental to the factual, real and unbiased version of these topics.
Something must be done to remove the misleading non-factual information from all these pages and to prevent this user from adding non-factual information to more pages for good. This was the first time I edited something and contacted a user on Wikipedia and I will probably not edit anything again. I can't and don't want to keep on editing more or to engage in an edit war with someone.
Is it possible to unlock the Manusmṛti page so that I can undo these edits or can another Wikipedia user undo them? The page needs to be reverted to its last version from 33 July 2012 to remove all misleading information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 197.225.241.102 (talk) 20:27, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
He does not cite reliable sources that are widely accepted by mainstream scientists. He only cites mythological texts, other Wikipedia pages and himself in his edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 197.225.241.102 (talk) 01:30, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for taking notice of my request. This was my last involvement in this problem and I won't edit or contact Wikipedians again because I don't know anything about editing on Wikipedia. Please solve this problem among yourselves quickly. All the misleading information must be removed and this user must be prevented from making misleading edits by mixing historical and mythological information. I came to Wikipedia to look for reliable references to use for academic research but I was deeply offended by the biased, non-factual and misleading edits on the Manusmṛti page. These misleading edits make people lose faith on Wikipedia.
I wonder what all is cooking up on my edits on certain pages. I have given only factual and true references. Be specific to say what is wrong rather than being general. I have deep studies on Manusmriti, the seers who dictated it, the period and place where the seers had their habitation, and the Vedic states mentioned by the seers in their compilation. Also several researches by eminent scientists in seminars on the rivers Saraswati/Drishadwati and the state of Brahmavarta are now available, which give scientific support to references. I do not mind discussions any where.Sudhirkbhargava (talk) 17:07, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
On pages Ayurveda and Vedic Period, there are several wrongs which need to be removed. There is untruth galore on those pages. But some editors make a cartel to have their say. It is a creditibility loss to Wikipedia. No wonders, on the 12th anniversary of launching of Wikipedia, the largest selling Hindi daily news paper in India 'Dainik Bhaskar' carried a quater front page story after a survey, saying that Wikipedia carries 50 % untruths. I tend to agree with that report as I find that several pages are not taken care of al all. But where serious editors try to improve some pages, there is resistence from vested interests. When Ramayana and Mahabharata periods, 5400 BCE and 3100 BCE respectively are well accepted now on the basis of different scientific parameters, and Manusmriti was applied during that period also, saying that Manusmriti was written 200BCE or 200CE is a joke.

I have tried changing the tone of the article - I fully realize that it has to fit in the tone of the encyclopedia - and will happily discuss further changes (if necessary) but the article is about a writer who has explored a different genre - Unauthorized biographies. While developed countries have their share of Kitty Kellies, the writers face several pressure groups when they write something different. Sadat Hasan Manto suffered for this very reason. And many biographies are not allowed to be sold. We are a country of book burners. Mohan Deep went against the tide and that two in mid-nineties when there wasn't much money in writing books. I admire this but don't want it to color my article. I am fascinated with wikipedia and hope to write more on different subjects. In fact, I am considering 'Biographies' as my next article. I may start from Akbarnaama and Babarnaama to analyze the kind of biographies being written in India. Will love to get your opinion.
Should I resubmit now or the article needs further changes.

It's nice to see the article being kept. This is a peculiar situation, we do not have enough online sources to back it, whereas I know from personal experience that it has gained sort of a cult status. As I told in the AfD, the film was shown in 2001 Kolkata film festival, at least twice (incidentally I was there in the audience both times). The second time it was shown, it was not in the itinerary, and some viewers (who probably already saw it the previous day), protested by shouting! I even overheard somebody saying, Satyajit Institute theke esob ki cinema toiri korchhe, chhi chhi!!
At that time, I thoroughly enjoyed it :p --Dwaipayan (talk) 03:12, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
