message: Acting as a developer I've removed both the image and category from the GFDL template until MediaWiki 1.4 is in service on this wiki.

thread_title: Image and category removed

message: Many images are lying here not accessible to any other of the Wikimedia projects. Commons has now existed for nine months and it's about time we eliminate practically all free images on Wikipedia by transferring them to Commons. It is a fairly easy task: save the image locally, open up page Commons upload page, select file and paste text from Wikipedia description, then create a section ==Wikipedia image history== and copy the image history for correct attribution. It is important that the name is not changed, unless you wish to edit all pages on which this image is located to reflect the change. At this point the local image should be deleted by tagging it as such or doing yourself (if you have the power). This category currently contains, quite literally, thousands of images which I cannot handle by myself. If anyone wants to help, feel free - I'll set up a proper "WikiProject" page soon and properly advertise it. In the future we should consider creating transfer scripts which fulfil this function with only human monitoring. --Oldak Quill 10:01, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: Quote from the article:
 It is sometimes compared to Team17's Project-X for the Amiga.
How is this game similar to Project X? Other than the fact that both games are in the shooter genre I don't see similarities? Ikaruga introduced many new mechanics while Project X uses a lot of Gradius game mechanics. Project X was hard mainly because in some spots the game was unfair (slightly fixed in a rerelease), Ikaruga on the other hand is hard but beatable because it is based on memorising patterns and puzzle solving. I see no reason to why Project X is relevant.  Felsir 13:07, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

message: no longer being susceptible to perturbation by the passions like greed and selfishness,which are common in the world today.
The struck portion is an opinion without any point of reference. It is stated as a fact, not as a belief by any particular group. If it was not intended as "wiki says this is the right religion", then it is merely an awkward sentence. If a particular group or authority says that a motivation for their moral code is due to the observation that "greed and selfishness ... are common in the world today", then it should be stated as such.
No matter how much I or anyone else may agree with the opinion doesn't necessarily make it appropriate.

thread_title:  An opinion without any point of reference. 

message: Whoever wrote this: " The Sanskrit and Pali word sīla is an ethical compass within self and relationships, rather than what is associated with the English word "morality" (i.e., obedience, a sense of obligation, and external constraint - all of which are quite foreign to the concept of sīla as taught by Gautama the Buddha since 588BC)." is delusional. Sīla, as is explained time and again, is all about obedience to the Vinaya; obligations to one's peers, family, etc (e.g. Sigalovadasutta), and the imposition of external constraints. Key words in Buddhist ethics are: saṁvara 'restraint', rakkha 'guarding', and hirotappa 'shame & moral dread'. One is frequently told not to do anything blameable (sāvajja) by the wise (viññu). Both the Buddha and the lay communities in which the monks live are often depicted rebuking the monks for their wicked behaviour, often for sexual behaviour of rich variety. The whole point of the Vinaya is to impose obedience to external constraints on people who don't know how to conduct themselves. But Westerners are busy rewriting Buddhism to their own liking and attributing it back to the Buddha, often in genuine ignorance of the Buddha's recorded words (if that's what the early Buddhist texts in fact are) or the languages they are mainly recorded in: Sanskrit, Pali, Gandhari, and Chinese.
