Talk:Shree Muktananda Ashram

message: Did you mean to have the article read, 'owned and operated by the Siddha Yoga'? If so, I think it's inaccurate because the owner of Shree Muktananda Ashram is actually the SYDA Foundation. Also, 'Siddha Yoga' is a proper noun, so it wouldn't take an article (the).

message: I moved this link to the second paragraph because it made more sense to link the concept of Swami Muktananda to the 'Swami Muktananda' page than to link part of the compound noun 'Shree Muktananda Ashram' to a page defining a different concept (Swami Muktananda). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MahaDave (talk • contribs) 02:32, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  'Muktananda' wikilink 

message: I know I whinge a bit, but a few days ago I put more details of the various towns and facilities around Fallsburg, to make life easier for anyone planning to go there. Now it's all disappeared, except for the location of the ashram. I know it's not the end of the world, but the info was accurate and practical. Was there really any need to remove it? This is pathetic.
I'd like to suggest that we  use this page to propose the deletions we have in mind and let the gang comment on whether  the deletion is worthwhile or not. Then we won't have to have arguments.

The edit summaries show up in the history also and you can compare different versions.  This should show you when/who/why the picture was removed.TheRingess (talk) 15:15, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Deletions

message: this article seems to have shrunk lately. Who's been chopping it up? It used to include details about the three hotel complexes that the ashram was based on, but this has now been deleted. these deletions were completely unjustified.

replies: text: Instead of immediately running to the TheRingess to blame her for the deletions, just check the edit history of the article. You'll notice it was IPSOS and TheRingess who removed information that went unsourced for 3 or 4 months. They were both quite clear in their edit summaries, and quite right to do so. Since you never bothered to source those additions yourself, you hardly have the right to complain. You're welcome to re-add that information with the necessary sources. Really, this thing you have against TheRingess is getting old, get over it.--Atlan (talk) 18:48, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Deletions

message: If some statements were unsourced, it is still not necessary to delete them. The simple alternative is to insert "Citation needed". This is done in many places on Wiki. If this is 
done in this article, someone may fix it some day, so it's not necessary to delete them. By deleting unnecessarily, the editors have only succeeded in gutting the article, which is now only half of its former self.
Just in case some people have the wrong impression, this article was not written by me, so I'm not complaining about my own work being cut. I'm complaining because I see unnecessary deletions, which are detrimental to the article, and it's certainly not for the first time.

replies: text: The problem is, that the statements were tagged with "citation needed" for 3 or 4 months already, without anyone actually adding sources. That's just too long. Remember, tagging with "citation needed" is not a substitution for an actual source. You can't keep it tagged like that forever. It's not having sources that's detrimental to the article, not removing unsourced information.--Atlan (talk) 08:46, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
