Sathya Sai Baba Article
[edit]Hi, I don't know if you are familiar with the history of this article but it was recently locked for 7 days due to edit warring. The article was OK before it was totally destroyed through one user's 150 edits in a ten day period in January while nobody was watching turning it into a total assualt against Sathya Sai Baba. The article is being repaired. It has improved a lot in the last month. We have set up a sandbox Sai Baba Sandbox for testing of major changes. E-mail me if you have any questions.Yours Sbs108 (talk) 21:20, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
Sathya Sai Baba article - editors
[edit]Hi J929, I have been following the recent talk page discussions. If you think User:Ombudswiki is pushing an agenda you can report him in Wikipedia Conflict of Interest notice board. I do agree with you that these activists are starting to disrupt the article pushing their secret agendas. If they don't stop then we may have to report them in other higher level forums in wikipedia. Thanks. Radiantenergy (talk) 01:42, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you!
- http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard
- Please add any relevant info!
- J929 (talk) 00:25, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- For now the activists seemed to have stopped the disruption. Let's see in future, if we see more disruption then we can present a stronger evidence and reopen an older case. I would suggest you also to keep a copy of the discussion links once its archived so it could be used for future. Thanks. Radiantenergy (talk) 03:31, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
- I have some questions to ask in the WP:COI. I will post them soon. Thanks. Radiantenergy (talk) 11:44, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
- I replied in my talk page. Thanks. Radiantenergy (talk) 19:06, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
Request for Comment
[edit]Can you please add your comments here. http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Daily_Pioneer_.2F_Sandhya_Jain. Thanks. Radiantenergy (talk) 20:30, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi J929, In the reliable source board we can talk only about the source - "The Daily Pioneer' and that it was already declared reliable in the earlier reliable source notice board. It may not be an appropriate place to write about the activist. That has to be reported in the Conflict of Interest notice board. Thanks. Radiantenergy (talk) 22:06, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
Can you please add your comments again in the reliable source notice board I think it got over written some how because 2 of us were editing the article at the same time.
I think I got confused some body reverted it later. I don't know why? - http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard&diff=315608688&oldid=315608347 Thanks. Radiantenergy (talk) 23:50, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
Clean up Effort
[edit]Hi J929,
- You might have seen the clean up discussions in the talk page. The concerns raised so far are mainly about the 'Biography' section which uses the primary sources. In the RS discussion it was agreed that the Official Sathya Sai Organisational Websites could be used. I think more than the sourcing the style of writing in the Biography should be made more neutral in tone, more encyclopedic with out too much emphasis on miracles etc. That's going to be a challenge.
- It might be easier for us to fix this section as we know this article and its sources well rather than others who are new to this topic. I will appreciate your help. I have also requested Sbs108 to help. I am also planning to start working on this. Thanks. Radiantenergy (talk) 16:17, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
sounds good...
J929 (talk) 22:30, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
- I appreciate your Clean Up effort. I have one suggestion. If its possible please condense some of the details under the Biography section. Personally I am Ok with it as I know the article and its sources. But it might be overwhelming with lot of details to new users.
Thanks. Radiantenergy (talk) 00:41, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi J929,
- I have started adding Secondary Sources from Babb, Kent and Others in the Biography Section. I am using the following sources which are available online. All these sources have used Kasturi's biography with their interpretations. For instance you will find supporting references for 1940 Proclamation and other important incidents from Baba's life from these sources.
- Google Links of Secondary Sources with Biography References:
- Babb Lawrence: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=B8bMjUt6AqIC&pg=PA162&dq=%22Sathya+Sai+Baba+was+born+in+1926%22&client=firefox-a&cd=1#v=onepage&q=%22Sathya%20Sai%20Baba%20was%20born%20in%201926%22&f=false

Hi J929, In Page 8 - http://www.nzasia.org.nz/downloads/NZJAS-Dec05/7_2_2.pdf - there are more details about his illness as well his declaration that he is Sai Baba when questioned by his father. The same announcement is also mentioned by Kent - http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=26sVhUo_aM4C&printsec=frontcover&client=firefox-a&source=gbs_v2_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q=&f=false in page 38. We can use these references. Thanks. Radiantenergy (talk) 05:03, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi J929,
Howard Murphet book is viewed as a Devotee material. Probably it could be used as a reference in Biography section other than that I don't think we can use it anywhere else.

Photo scam scan
[edit]Hi. Where did you scan this photo from? --Damiens.rf 18:08, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
an original photo taken by me in Bangalore several years ago. read the meta data.
may i ask why?
no scan nor scam. J929 (talk) 18:40, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
- The description use to say "original photo (scanned version of print)", so I was worried it could have been a scan of a copyrighted work. My fault I didn't noticed the presence of metadata. And the scam in the title was not intentional.
- Nice shot! And thanks, --Damiens.rf 18:54, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
don't worry. haste makes waste..

Speedy deletion nomination of Sri Sathya Sai Super Speciality Hospital
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Sri Sathya Sai Super Speciality Hospital, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. ∯WBGconverse 13:55, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
