Hi Gadadhara,
This page on creating your first article looks helpful also.

Hello again. After adding a final comment to the discussion on the pie list page I had a niggling feeling that something was not right. I read your post again and did an Amazon search for Peace is Possible. Sure enough there it was with over 100 great reviews and a 5 star rating. Why does Will Bback think its unreliable? Even the telephone book isn't 100% reliable. Why did he bother reverting you and why is this guy Rawat listed on the gloat page 35 years after he was assaulted? Most people on that list are there because someone disagrees with their politics or views on the environment. This listing doesn't fit the stereotype. Too many unanswered questions and that biography looks like a must read book. I've ordered a copy. At $11.22 it looks like good value. I would be happy to read your opinion of the book and whether or not you think it is reliable. You are most welcome to visit my discussion page.--Zanthorp (talk) 22:43, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Remember, the word 'reliable' has a specific meaning on Wikipedia, and normally any self-published book doesn't meet the criteria of WP:RS. dougweller (talk) 15:18, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cagan

The issue of the Peace is Possible has been discussed repeatedly, but the most thorough discussion was at User talk:Steve Crossin/Mediation/Prem Rawat#Issue/Discussion topic D: Cagan. It was found that the book suffered from major omissions and errors. Further it is published by a one-book publisher apparently owned by followers of Prem Rawat. Fortunately, there are many other sources about Rawat and related topics. Regarding the list of people who were pied, we had a discussion at Talk:List of people who have been pied#Prem Rawat pieing article. If you still have any questions about that article that page would be the best place to discuss them. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 18:44, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
