Talk:Navaratna

message: The term navaratna can be split into nava-ratna, with nava meaning nine and ratna meaning gem. Thus it just means nine gems rather than 'Having nine gems'. 
When it is used along with another word ie: navaratna mala, the meaning is nine gem(ed) garland. The 'having' is implied because of the context and is not present in the original word.

message: Most of the original sourcing for this article consisted of a mass of cited books without any page numbers, so there was no way to verify the references. I have begun editing content, replacing the mass book cites with verifiable references. I've also  removed some information that was definitely unverifiable using reliable sources, and somewhat dubious in my opinion. I'm willing to be corrected, by verifiable and reliable sources. See WP:VERIFY for general information on sourcing, and Wikipedia:Citing sources on how to properly use inline citations in such a way that it "allows a reader to find the source and verify that it supports material in Wikipedia".

thread_title:  Issues with sourcing 

message: Well over two years ago I had created this page and graphics, then it was vandalized by some kook named Priyanath who removed my material and captions, and replaced with a narrow Hindu only version quoting unproved opinions as fact. Also removing my reference to direct quotes (while retaining the quotes). I don't know your backgroud, Mr Priyanath, but my first book on Navaratna was published in 1975, and since then I have 13 big books published on the subject. If you want to compare expertise you better get your own army! So here is a perfect version. A broad view of Navaratna covering all SE Asia - that also includes Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, and many others. And does NOT quote unprovable opinions as hard FACTS. This whole subject is unprovable, except in cultural sense. Navaratna is much MORE important in Thailand with Buddhists than in India where they use junk, and Navaratna has nothing to do with Indian government or science. If you delete this I'll replace it again, and I'll fight for my right. And have the page locked if necessary! DON'T VANDALIZE!! --Rickbrown9 (talk) 18:08, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
