Response to Dear Wikians[edit]

Yogani, your comment on the AfD shows you haven't really looked into precisely what Wikipedia is intended to be. An encyclopedia. Just like the dusty ones on the shelf. An encyclopedia summarizes published information. Its criteria is verifiability in published third-party sources, not truth. Also, writing an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. I see someone posted a welcome message for you, did you read any of the suggested material???

Of course, we welcome your verifiable contributions to articles on yoga, etc. but please take the time to read about what WP is supposed to be, what the criteria for inclusion are, and refrain from writing about yourself or your activities. And by the way, if you want to remain anonymous, an article on WP is the last thing you want. It would take only one person who knows who you are to add it to the article and then you could never remove it, as no one canown an article on WP, not even one about yourself. And if there is any verifiable or even unverifiable dirt or even nasty rumours about you, if you have even one enemy, you'll end up battling to keep that info out of the article and end up nominating the article for deletion yourself. It happens all the time when people post autobiographies... —Hanuman Das 13:07, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Thank you, Hanuman Das. I am learning. Cannot help but notice a lack of articles on individual yoga practices in Wiki, let alone their integration into effective practice routines. Are verifiable articles on practices welcome? Also, can the Yogani article be placed on my user page with links intact? Can others edit that? Nothing to hide here ... no hidden agenda. In AYP, what you see is what you get. The guru is in you. Yogani 21:10, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I think you have to ask an admin to move it, though. I think regular users can't move between namespaces, like from article space to user space. Put a note on the AfD and the closing admin should be able to do it.
On article for individual yoga practices, postures, asanas, etc. I think that would be great. I wasn't even aware that so many were missing until getting involved in these AfDs... They are really needed and as long as references and citations are given, should be perfectly fine. If you have any problem with them let me know and I may be able to give you a hand with formatting or other details to make sure they are acceptable WP articles. —Hanuman Das 23:36, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Thanks much. Will do on requesting move of the Yogani page, and testing a few articles on practice. The goal here is to bring powerful easy-to-do yoga practices into the public domain in a well-integrated fashion, and perhaps AYP and Wiki can overlap on that. Will keep you posted.
