Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions.

Currently, you are editing without a username. You can continue to do so, as you are not required to log in to Wikipedia to read and edit articles; however, logging in will result in a username being shown instead of your IP address (yours is 69.203.80.158). Logging in does not require any personal details, and there are many other benefits for logging in.

When you edit pages:

  • Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
  • Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
  • If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
  • Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such content or editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. For now, if you are stuck, you can click the edit this page tab above, type {{helpme}} in the edit box, and then click Save Page; an experienced Wikipedian will be around shortly to answer any questions you may have. Also feel free to ask a question on my talk page. I will answer your questions as far as I can! Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia.

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Yoga. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Thank you. Buddhipriya 23:37, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Dude... zen/ch'an derivation from dhyaan is one of the least controversial (and, btw, one of the most relevant) bits of information on Hinduism and Buddhism out there. I thought you'd have known that. Regardless, I've sourced it as requested. --69.203.80.158 02:30, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

My reason for removing the IAST in that instance was that technically, it should be written as Ārya Samāja, ie. with the "a" at the end, because in Devanagari it is written as आर्य समाज, not आर्य समाज्. Note the halant/virama at the end is the second case. That is why modern Indian names and titles aren't often written in IAST. For instance, have you ever seen Mahātmā Gāndhī in regular usage? What are your thoughts? I am willing to disucss this you if you want. Thank you! GizzaChat © 03:48, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Better yet, get a degree so you can start teaching these things and help to bury the old 'reliable'(gag) sources. :-) ॐ Priyanath talk 03:04, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
