Talk:Vajrasattva

message: Seems to me that the practice notes are completely out of place here. We should focus on information about Vajrasattva, not about some sectarian ritual! mahaabaala 17:09, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Practice Notes 

message: Please do not post that, it is not in accordance with Buddhist practise!  Clearly, the poster draws it from the 'Diamond Approach' or whatever and should not confuse Vajrasattva practice with whatever ritual they perform.  Outer cleanliness will be found only in Kriya, Carya and Yoga tantra forms of Vajrasattva.  However, the restrictions are limited to being vegetarian on the day of initiation.  Please provide your sources of information which comes from a qualified lama of a proper lineage.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmlee369 (talk • contribs) 20:53, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Practise notes, safety data etc 

message: I was given to believe that Vajrasattva represented the Buddha state of mind - the Diamond Mind. Doesn't that make Vajrasattva technically a Buddha rather then a Boddhisatva as Boddhisatvas' have not yet gone into Nirvanna whilest Vajrasattva represents the Nirvana state of mind.
Also given that Vajrasattva is a manifestation of Buddha, or Nirvana, state of mind and isn't realy "real" (i.e. never incarnated as an individual or actually atained Bodhisatva and/or Buddha state) does he realy fit into the catergories of Buddha or Bodhisatva? To my knowledge all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have either attained their respective states or will in the case of the future Buddha (Maitreya). Is there a special catergory for Vajrasattva?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.99.230.147 (talk) 13:54, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

It would be more appropriate to have something like a KKK symbol, a picture of a slave, a swastika - anything that actually depicts the topic.  The black fist image is just POV pushing and is absolutely not descriptive.  It's a response to discrimination, not discrimination itself.  -- fourdee ᛇᚹᛟ 10:50, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Faiza

message: The WikiProject classification for Faiza is Start-class. However, the page has less than 100 words, so it might not meet the grading criteria.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  23:02, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Please confirm classification 

message: The addition above, by an unsigned account and in broken English, doesn't link to a Wikipedia page, and so is probably inappropriate. On a bit of investigation, it is probably meant to be a reference to Faiza Zarif, a who runs a Pakistani cookery channel on YouTube with 650K followers, and the cookwithfaiza.net website (which is advertising heavy, and seems not to have any connection to a published book, media appearances, etc.). If anyone would like to look into this further and consider creating a page for her, as she does indeed seem to be moderately "famous," please do so. Otherwise I would suggest deleting this line from the disambiguation page, as it doesn’t lead anywhere. Gabrielbodard (talk) 23:18, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

message: * This article reads like it was written by a 5 year old.  The author has clearly not yet apprehended the role of the paragraph.  Information is scattered in a seemingly random fashion, and much of it is written with a bias supported by citations of dubious quality.

message: I don't know who was responsible for this, but as noted above, the article does indeed read as though it was written by a grade-school child, or someone who does not speak English. More concerning is that it has obviously not experienced editing of any significance in at least the past five years. References are very few and repeated often with no variety.

Category talk:Wikipedia requested audio

message: Would it be appropriate to create a subcat for sounds in nature, such as thunder, bird songs etc? Could that subcat be built into the template e.g.  as with the reqphoto template? Besides reworking the template, what is the best way to split this up? At the moment we have only a page of requests (though this number would explode if people placed the template on every page that would be improved by an audio file of some sort). Perhaps music/non-music would be a start, then perhaps animals as a second category. Nature might be a little broad. The problem is the current 'music' category is only for MIDI files, I think it should be renamed to reflect that. Richard001 00:18, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The Orthogonal variable spreading factor (OVSF) article, also known as Orthogonal variable spreading function, was merged into this article without prior discussion or template. It don't think it belongs here. The idea was probably that spreading factor is redirected to this article, but the main topic of this article is the chip concept, wich is very different from OVSF. Why not keep OVSF as a separate article? 
OVSF is used in WCDMA/UMTS, and is an implementation of direct-sequence spread spectrum/CDMA (direct-sequence spread spectrum/DS-CDMA). It might perhaps fit into one of those articles, if it necessarily has to be merged. Mange01 (talk) 15:29, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Sakai Tadakatsu

message: This fact has a verifiable source:
:The Lion Dance (Shishi-mai) is a still-popular folk dance imported to Wakasa from Mushu-Kawagoe (Kawagoe, Saitama Prefecture) by Sakai Tadakatsu when he and his descendants  were first granted the han of Obama in the early 17th century. Three lions move heroically and elegantly to the accompaniment of music played on Japanese flutes.<:ref>Obama Shrine:  Festivals in May. Jonai, Obama-shi.</ref>
The following short video might be plausibly helpful in bringing the Lion Dance to life, but is the migration of a folk dance from eastern to western Honshu and the (Tottori Prefecture/non-Wakasa province) connection close enough to be relevant in this Obama Domain context?

message: It seems the only reason for a push by some to delete this article is because of the Hong Kong movie of similar name. I'm not a surf nut myself, but this film seems to be among the top of most "best of" lists when it comes to this type of film and had many of the best surfers of the day included in it. I'd bet if the film had a different name there would not be a push for deletion. If this surf film does not have the credentials for notability then I guess no surf film would.
BTW, I went through many of the "Surf Films" articles and some of them have far less credentials then this one yet I don't see the rush to remove them? --Mrhyak (talk) 04:20, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

For neutrality, I think you would have to uncover a verifiable source to state the biography given here misstates the facts as they are known, or that there is fraud it in presentation.
