thread_title: Buddhism and Dashain

message: Dashai (stub) and Dasain should be merged, but I am not sure which is the better article name. ::Supergolden:: 16:03, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Dasain, I think - it's more accurate (The Nepali being 'Dasai~'(the tilde representing nasalisation), and, going on a google search, more common.  BovineBeast 08:05, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: (September 25, 2009) I would disagree with this. The Nepali is दशैं. श is pronounced 'sha', while स is what is prounounced 'sa'. (see http://www.omniglot.com/writing/nepali.htm for example). Therefore, the transliteration should be Dashain, and not Dasain. Can this be addressed, and the Dasain stub be redirected to Dashain? Additionally, please note that all mentions of the word WITHIN the article are Dashain, not Dasain.
I think i use Dashai for most of my work but Dasai is also used frequently.
Does any one have any fact about this? From where did the author cited this sentence? Christianity having influence over Dashin??
"In general, the tradition of sacrifice is lessening with the easy availability of meat for daily consumption, and with the influences of Vaishnav Hindus (who are vegetarian) and Evangelical Christianity." Aaniyo 02:52, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge proposal

message: I don't see any problem with the neutrality of the article. Many Nepalis sacrifice animals during Dashain. It is a fact. You cannot label the article to be non-neutral because of a fact that you don't like. This is an encyclopedia and should contain facts. However bitter it might be, a fact is a fact. Please put enough arguments to justify the need to nominate the article for check of neutrality. I am removing the nomination for now.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.54.196.124 (talk) 00:12, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

replies: text:  This article does not represent a world wide perspective of the subject topic. Obviosly it is written by a nepali hindu, and sounds like an essay written of the subject topic.And i request the task forces WP:HINDU and WP:NEPAL to completely review this article , which is within their scope.

message: What is the Adigoonin order?  It is mentioned casually as though there were an expectation that people would know what it is, however, when I Googled it, ALL the references to that phrase are copied from this Wikipedia article.  I am not a scholar of Hinduism or Nepal, so I really have no idea what this sentence is talking about.  Could someone clarify it, correct it, or link to a Wikipedia article explaining it?Exaybachay (talk) 17:10, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

I meant about that Devnagari translation of the term 'Bijaya'. I would have done that but my fluency in Devnagari-typing is well.. quite .... So I tried inserting characters from the 'Micron' button in the Edit Section, but that seemed to break the syntax of the sentence. So I would request someone who could possibly..

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Dashain's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
