Richard Gombrich Article

A tag has been placed on Richard Gombrich, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Patricknoddy^{TALK (reply here)}^|^HISTORY 22:48, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please see my post on the Richard Gombrich page for why I think an article on him is justified. Lotus 02:55, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just finished reading Theravada Buddhism a couple days ago, so I thought it was an interesting coincidence that you'd just made a Gombrich article. I'm glad it got saved; he deserves an article. Stebbins 23:33, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely justified. The son of the illustrious Ernst Gombrich who is himself an authority on Sanskrit and Buddhism needs a wiki of his own. I'm glad you created it. 220.255.33.172 02:13, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Biographical articles for Buddhist scholars

Thanks for your message. yes, I have noticed that you are making needed biographical contributions for missing Buddhist scholars. I shall contribute if I feel I can add anything useful, time allowing. There are also a number of modern Japanese scholars who should get a mention, but who do not yet have entries. I am thinking of people like Akira Hirakawa, Gadjin Nagao etc.--Stephen Hodge 01:08, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Caroline Rhys Davids

HI,

I noticed that you posted the article about Caroline Rhys Davids, I posted the article about her son, Arthur. Would be interested in discussing a few points with you regarding the effect that his death had upon her work if you have the time. Fluellen1916 15:55, 7 April 2007

Sure, Fluellen, I'd be happy to. Lotus 16:21, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My email is ssnetherholme@yahoo.co.uk Would probably be easier to communicate that way, Thanks. Fluellen1916

Well Boobs to you too

Prāyaścitta

Yeah, I'm not sure either. It is really useful though. I got my prāyaścitta page up, though I'm planning on adding more if I can find the time. (I am supposed to respond on your talk page right?)

Comment on wording

Hi, thanks for your work contributing to articles. I hope you won't mind if I make one suggestion. It's best to avoid words like "furthermore", "thus" and "therefor". It can be a challenge sometimes I know, but these words make articles read more like arguments and essays. Take care. ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:31, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment and question

It was a pleasure reading your work at Dharmaśāstra and other Hindu Law and monarchy articles. I read on your userpage that you are collaborating as part of a project at UW-Madison. Can you let me know (to satisfy my curiosity) whether this is a course project and which college/department is involved ? Regards. Abecedare (talk) 18:49, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply. I hope you and your colleagues will continue to edit wikipedia even after the course has ended. We can really use editors who have such good grasp of both the subject material, and our neutral point-of-view and reliable sourcing policies. Best wishes for your on/off-wiki endeavors. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 22:08, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally, you should consider nominating some of the articles you have worked on for good article review. That can provide useful feedback from readers who are not necessarily familiar with the topic. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 22:27, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am surprised that the articles were rated C by Redtigerxyz, who is an experienced editor of Hinduism-related articles. I could bump up the rating to B on my own, but I would suggest that we need not bother with that intermediate step and instead get the article ready for a GA review, which is a more formalized process.

Also note that article rating are based on both the content and the conformance of the article with the wikipedia manual of style. The latter can be a stumbling block for editors who have not gone through or looked over the GA or FA review process. I will be happy to read through some of your articles over the next few days and make changes and/or add comments on the talk page. Abecedare (talk) 23:02, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have made some (mainly) stylistic edits to Hindu law - please see my edit summaries in the article history for the reasoning for each edit. I have also left a note on the article talk page with some questions and suggestions. Please take a look whenever you have the time and let me know if you have any questions/comments. Cheers.
