replies: text: Basically, we need to make sure that the article is based on known facts and not on legend. There is quite a bit of legend surrounding Jalaram's life, but we can't include that information in the article unless it has been cited by reliable sources. Along the same lines, we need to ensure that the article adheres strictly to Wikipedia's NPOV policy, so any references to his "greatness" and such will need to be removed. At the same time, it is important to describe how important he is as a saint to Hindus, especially in Gujarat. The idea, thus, is to present facts in an emotionally detached manner. --Hnsampat 11:49, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sugestions Required

message: This article is a good start on the topic of the Gujarati saint Jalaram, but it is poorly written. It is unorganized and does not have the tone of an encyclopedia article. Also, the information presented within it needs to be verified and sourced, to ensure factual accuracy and neutrality and to prevent self-contradiction. (Right now, the article says Jalaram was born in 1800 and died in 1937, meaning that he lived to be 137, a good 15 years older than the current recordholder. If that's the case, we need proof of some kind.) The article is also in dire need of copy-editing to fix its grammar, spelling, and other formatting errors. Once all that is done, it needs to be wikified. --Hnsampat 19:11, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: Okay, this article's gone from bad to worse. It is still panegyrically POV, totally unsourced, and in need of massive copyediting. I've tagged this article for a total rewrite. The subject of this article is quite notable for millions of Hindus, but the article itself is a total mess. --Hnsampat 15:42, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Total rewrite 

message: I have moved name back again from Jalaram to Jalaram Bapa : Firstly because Jalaram Bapa is widely used name and searched for in internet. Further, Hnsampat had reverted the name back to Jalaram citing moved Jalaram Bapa to Jalaram over redirect: "Jalaram Bapa" is an honorific. See WP:NCP)  But Bapa is not honorific Mr Sampat if that rather is commonly used word for any elderly person. Further, if that is the case than Chaitanya Mahaprabhu should be renamed only Chaitanya, Bhaktaraj Maharaj only to Bhaktraj, Tukdoji Maharaj to only Tukdo, Swami Sri Lilashahji Maharaj to only Lilashah, Sai Baba of Shirdi to only Sai, etc. etc. So, please give good explanation before reverting back Jalaram Bapa to Jalaram, if you wish to do so in future.

replies: text: You say that "Bapa" is not an honorific and then say that it is a commonly used word for any elderly person. That, by definition, makes it an honorific. Now, you do have a point with the examples you give about Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Sai Baba, but I think a case can be made for renaming the former simply to "Chaitanya" (not so much the case for Sai Baba since he's almost never referred to as "Sai" alone, unlike Jalaram Bapa, who is frequently referred to as simply "Jalaram"). I'll open it up to the community and see what the consensus is. --Hnsampat (talk) 16:25, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

text: I do not see this discussion concluded, but still the article name is just Jalaram, why is it so? Why is it not Jalaram Bapa? R P Jethwa has provided some valid arguments, all the other articles he stated still exist with their (arguably) honorific prefix or suffix, why this article does not have Bapa?-- DhavalTalk 09:08, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: No one responded here, I have moved page to Jalaram Bapa. Please refer to Mother Teresa, Father Damien, Sathya Sai Baba, Swami Virajananda, etc. If Mother, Father, Baba, Swami, etc. are not honorific there, how is 'Bapa' honorific here? Please do not rename page without having discussion here.-- DhavalTalk 15:45, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

message: I have added back removed lines, the photo, which have been deleted by Users like User Kbir (Hnsampat) and SQGibbon  and also added back lines giving inline citation from books. I wonder, how one can remove photo ( and mention in edit summary Appears to be a copyright violation..). I request to start discussion of Talk page before reverting any citations.Jethwarp (talk) 13:04, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
