Unexplained= You did not take the time to explain the major changes/additions to the article. Please use the edit summary. Unsourced= You did not provide a citation, "2007 has been a pretty quiet year", that could be interpreted as your personal POV. Also, most of the information you added is probably recentism, "Eminem's album is anticipated", you should just write a paragraph for the history of Shady Records in 2007 at the end of the year when all the events unfolded. Also, I don't believe that much is needed for some EP by Ca$his. We should focus more on their studio albums. You can say their albums are anticipated in the albums' articles. That article should only report the history like the way you did before. It does not mention that any of the other albums were anticipated, and mentioning this belongs at WikiNews but not here. That's the place for current events. Thank you. --- Realest4Life 12:55, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
The first mention of Ca$his there is linked, check to see. --- Realest4Life 19:07, 24 July 2007 (UTC)In 2006, Shady Records had their seventh artist, by the name of Ca$his, signed to the label. Ca$his is an Orange County-based rapper that was born in Chicago.
Actually, I added it a few hours before after I noticed you added it to the Aftermath article. So it's all cool. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho 01:36, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, well, go to "My Preferences" at the top, then when you're there check "Raw Signature", add [[User:Harish101|text you would like to add goes here]]. I used to have a main page, but I didn't really like it so I deleted it, however, neat ones can be found on User:Ayoleftyz's page, he copied his from mine, or User:NJ Rock's page. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho?

I get it, I have a lot of files uploaded and some which are infringements (though I'll never understand the ones about the CD covers...). PLEASE note that I uploaded these a very long time ago, before I really knew what I was doing on here, and I just wanted to contribute by adding to the articles how I thought would be beneficial for the readers.
If you spot any more problems, instead of giving me several paragraphs, please just SIMPLY (layman's terms) state in a couple of lines what I can do to sort it out.
Thank you.

What's up? I'm doing my accounting homework LOL, boring shit. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho 22:51, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
"Is there some d-low way to pass my addy over?" - What lol? Sorry but I didn't get what you were trying to say. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho 00:39, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm only saying this because I noticed you were using the old way of formatting refs, you shouldn't use that template anymore, instead, this is the way to format it:
<ref>Shaheem Reid ([[September 22]] [[2007]]). [URL Title]. MTV (date of publishing may go here if there is no author). Accessed [[September 23]] [[2007]].</ref>
Also, you may use a ref twice in an article by naming it, so, for example, the first time you use the ref you simply use <ref name=mtv> instead of <ref>, and then the second time you use it (and third and fourth, etc.) you just use <ref name=mtv/>
Hope that helps. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho 01:06, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
OK, just to see if you got it, wikify (that's what it's called, formatting the ref) this for me.
Put the text between this ish <nowiki></nowiki>, and, just so you know, some words like, "about", "of", "the", "on", etc. are NOT supposed to be capitalized, even if the title capitalizes it. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho?

You did great, just a few minor things, yeah, you should include the nickname, if that's how he/she credits himself/herself, and you don't need to add the Hip Hop Charts in the title, that's under the section it's in I think, and I think it's SOHH, all capitalized, it's cuz of the funny logo, but when you're under one of their sections, it's like SOHH Soulful, so yeah. Overall, great, and yeah, I got that website off of YouTube, NEW SEASON coming soon! Damn, you guys get Cartoon Network? Lucky bastards, we fucking get Teletoon. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho 01:42, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
I don't know, Aftermath and Shady are record labels, so I don't think they deserve one (I honestly don't know why they made one for the "G-Unit family", they should at least make one for UMG and Interscope before they do that, you know?), and I really have no experience in making templates, I'm assuming you just copy that code thing from some other templates, but I don't really do templates lol. That's how I think you can make a template, as for sandboxes, they're easy to make, create a page called "User:Harish101/Sandbox", I mean, search for it, it will be red, then just add whatever you want to it, it will automatically be a subpage of your userpage. I didn't guess you're Indian lol, I saw your comment on Riana's talk page, and you didn't say Native Indian so I just assumed you meant Asian Indian. I moved to Canada because my parents wanted to move and stuff, Romania's pretty fucked up. The adjustment? Meh, it wasn't that hard for me, as soon as you make some friends you're good.

OK, yes, I had a good lunch lol. Romania, I don't really wanna talk about it lol, it's pretty much run by idiot presidents and... it's just fucked lol, I'm surprised it's considered a "developing country", because it will be developing for another 50 years or so lol. You can show who signed it by checking the history, then I copy and paste the name ((Unsigned|HERE)). Yeah, about UMG and Interscope, like, what's the point of having one for those imprints by Dre and Em if you don't have one yet for their parent companies, you know? And yeah, Boondocks will be sick, can't wait lol. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho 19:21, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
The Interscope one is NICE, and just so you know, you can't have any "affiliations" or "related articles" in templates, it's supposed to have only articles DIRECTLY related to the subject. GTG, see ya later (in like 3 hours maybe). --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho 22:19, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I actually didn't do anything for my birthday this year. Didn't really feel like it, lol.

Hi Harish. These deletion notices (called "PRODS") are allowed to be removed at any time. So if you think the song can be improved, feel free to improve it. But honestly though, I think the song info can easily be mentioned in Blood Money. Hope that helps. Spellcast 06:18, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
Yo, i kinda was lookin' through pages and i fell across urs, but nice work on the templates, they're lookin' good G, i think the Interscope-Geffen-A&M is tha best. Yeah, so keep the work up - Keep It Real - Real Compton G 17:20, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Great effort. I cleaned up one section for encyclopedic tone and remved the trivia section entirely. The two films' summaries need to be cleaned up for tone as well; both contain run-on sentences with multiple dependent clauses despte a lack of commas and punctuation. That said, I think the page is much better. I might suggest eliminating the cast chart, as it's heavily weighted to ff2, and instead simply focus on the main recurring cast of 6 actors, using a simple list style with one or two sentences each. For example:
That would summarize the valuable cast and characters in a straight-forward manner without a chart with seems half empty on one side.
That said, your efforts have definitely improved the page overall. Keep up the good work. ThuranX 17:15, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Harish - I'm fine with your suggestion about improving the B.A.P.S. wiki pages. Let me know how you want to move ahead. - WildTornado. wildT (talk) 16:09, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi Harish - In reply to your message: Sure, will have a look at your sandbox. I'm kinda busy right now, with a couple of assignments. I'm not really a frequent editor, but am available for any service that you require. I'm currently based in India. I've heard about Paramtatva Swami. I assume you're from London? wildT (talk) 07:43, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
It looks pretty good so far. There are some issues with prose, but a thorough copyedit should fix those mistakes. You should probably replace the "Awards" section heading with "Guiness World Record". You can make the dispute a sub-section of "Guinness World Record". You also might want to merge the "Creator" section into the history. Before the temple development section, you can talk about Pramukh Swami Maharaj's previous projects with BAPS. The quote in the section could be moved to the "Opening ceremony" section. The part after the quote should go into the "History" section, before "Development". Also, you don't need to write down the quotes from the sources you are using.
I assume the "Temple features" section is the part you didn't finish yet. Leave me a message on my talk when you think the article's complete. I can copyedit and fix some other issues. Nishkid64 (talk) 17:42, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Yeah no worries. The design looks heaps better than the current. Spellcast (talk) 06:28, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
I originally created the article but User:KarmaLoop said on the talk page that it was a compilation album from Cashville Records and not a studio album. April '08 seems quite early for another Young Buck album eh? Spellcast (talk) 03:10, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
You're right that there's no other GA/A/FA class record labels to base Shady Records on. But it's still pretty good—definitely better than most record label pages. The best advice I can give is to make it comprehensive and cite a lot of refs. I think well cited refs is the main part of a really good article. Spellcast (talk) 15:23, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

OK, I did it. Sorry it took so long. Anyway, I tried my best, to be honest, though, I'm not sure how much my edits will help. I mean, you go to Uni, I'm in grade 11 in high school.

I dunno, I've loved Arsenal ever since I've started playing football, which was actually when I was 12. That's pretty late, but better late than never. I hate Man. Utd. because everyone is basically on their dick. I never liked them, I never understood what the fuss is all about so basically I was just annoyed at first but that quickly turned into hate once I really got into football. I only really started to hate Chelsea after Abramovich bought them, all of a sudden these kids who never even heard of Chelsea before were on their dick. How did you get into Arsenal? --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho 01:52, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
They had a 5 point lead at the top of the table like 4 weeks ago, now they fell all the way down to third. I don't get what's going on, but it looks as if Man. Utd. will win again this year. What do you think? --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho 03:46, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
I am sorry to cause this inconvenience, but I am not in the habit of checking the talk page of every article I edit, and it has not caused problems thus far.

Yes I am aware of what you are indicating towards - When I edit articles on Wikipedia, I try to make them NPOV so that nobody can question them. As I mentioned on on Juthani1's talk page, altough I am a member of the Swaminarayan Sampraday, I hold BAPS in the highest regard. Infact, on the invitation of Yogi Swami, members of my family attended satsang sabha's addressed by him and have also met Pramukh Swamiji. By the way, would love to meet up with you on my next visit to London (though I dont know when that will be), I'm presently based in Glasgow - am a postgrad student of the University of Strathclyde - what about you? What do you do? Wheredevelsdare (talk) 22:51, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
There is a need to merge this article with Paramahamsa which means exactly the same thing if you look at the articles. I tried doing it but I failed at doing so. I added a section on swaminarayan paramhansas so don't revert all of my work. I originally started creating an article called paramhansa but I realized that there were already two articles like it. So paramhansa, paramahansa, and paramahamsa are three ways of spelling it. I want the articles to be merged into one so that when you type any of the three names in the search box you end up on one page. I need you guys,Wheredevelsdare and Harish, to accomplish this task. I'm still new to wiki and am not able to do it. So please fix this error.--Juthani1 (talk) 23:27, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
I have made the merge. Paramhansas information is now on the more commonly used term Paramhamsa. Please help me add finishing touches to it. Also I need to completely delete the paramhansas page but I don't know how to. Please help me.--Juthani1 (talk) 03:19, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

This article needs major help- Rama Navami Can you help? Juthani1 tcs 18:20, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
There are a few pics on flickr as well. Also, you can take pics of the Neasden mandirif you get permissioon to do so. I get really complicated when uploading pics from a site even with a sadhus permission, becase the website clearly states- "Copyright BAPS..." I don't know what to tell you. Can you by any chance get a pic of Dham Dhami Mukth athe the Neasden Mandir uploaded on wiki? Juthani1 tcs 15:58, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
You done an excellent job with the Akshardham article. I fixing up some stuff, but it is really good. It think it may even get featured if we work hard to clear up grammaticla issues and other small issues. I was wondering why the other picture of Akshardham is not at the top. Its a lot more clear and would look better. I know that the other one shows the entire complex, but that could go next to the section where you describe the complex.

Oh so they still are editing. Do they have accounts or is it just IP adresses? That's pretty cool how you got them to do that. Tell them I said Jai Swaminarayan. I in the middle of making the page for the Swaminarayan wikiproject in my sandbox. Feel free to help out Juthani1 tcs 19:20, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! I will be uploading 5 images of Akshardham and putting them with the article in you sandbox if that's ok Juthani1 tcs 23:24, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
I am trying to do that. ATG and I are the ones who have made the templates. I made Template:Swaminarayan as a universal template and Template:BAPS. There are only three templates. ATG made Template:Swaminarayan Sampraday. What we were going to do was add the Swaminarayan Template (the universal one) on all Swaminarayan related articles and add the BAPS or Swaminarayan Sampraday template depending on if the article is related to that. The Bhagwan Swaminarayan article has only the universal template to avoid conflict as does the Swaminarayan Faith article. Juthani1 tcs 23:45, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
JSN,
I no this question may sound wierd, but when Juthani1 told me this, it felt queer to me so I decided to ask you to confirm. In BAPS are satsangis also known as Swaminarayan - I no v are called Swaminarayani - but never heard of Swaminarayan! I trust Jutani1, but this is a little diff to believe as how can v b known by a Bhagwans name - ppl. cant refer to both us as well as bhagwan as Swaminarayan - Can u pl. confirm this. Thanks, Around The GlobeContact 22:35, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
and btw, say Jai Swaminarayan to the santos from my side as well .. :) & I almost dint notice the change of name! Good work .. Around The GlobeContact 22:36, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
JSN,
K, tht fine then - juz wanted a confirmation. Dont bother to say anything except my Jai Swaminarayan. NP, anytime, I juz noticed so mentioned it. Around The GlobeContact 09:33, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Job hunting - u done with ur course or pt? Do lemme no if u travel up here .. Around The GlobeContact 09:50, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
I added the two pics I promised. I changed the pic at the top since it was taken on a foggy day. I replaced it with another view of the entire complex though it is as far away. Take the opinion of others before reverting me. I also added a pic of the main dome. Juthani1 tcs 19:51, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
I was also wondering if we could switch the order if history and temple features. Besides this, the article is excellent Juthani1 tcs 21:00, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
I have added [[Category:Swaminarayan Images]] to 81 images related to the Swaminarayan Faith. By doing this we now have a category for all Swaminarayan Pictures. If I missed an, please add [[Category:Swaminarayan Images]] to the image Juthani1 tcs 23:37, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for replying. Play around with pics. The pics were not taken by me, but are useful. Yo said that the santos gave permission. The BAPS logo is "self" made any way. Thanks again Juthani1 tcs 00:36, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
Found it through pic properties Juthani1 tcs 20:40, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
I agree tht our articls r not in the best of shape. Things are however improving. We hve managed to improve the Swaminarayan Bhagwan article to B-Class status - a major achievement. I am trying to rm POV from all the articles and add as many refs as possible. Other editors like Juthani1 are also have a big hand in this - we dont need to wait for a project to form - it is upto us to clean up because others will not clean up - they will just delete. To give an eg. Swaminarayan temples was up for deletion in March. Some Hinduism editors helped me save it from deletion, and with Bhagwans help today I think Iv been able to make it a respectable page. And how can I forget, May saw the first Swaminarayan DYK feature on the main page of wikipedia - so things are changing for the better. Around The GlobeContact 02:07, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
Wch one? Around The GlobeContact 12:22, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
Sorry - I mentioned three articles in my last msg - wch one - Sahajanand Swami, Swaminarayan temples and Swaminarayan Mandir, Karachi - thanks for the compliment anyways! Id like u to help out with the neutral ones (neutral to Sampraday and BAPS) .. like Sahajanand Swami. Ur most welcome to help with Sampraday ones too if u so wish. Also bout the refs for the Lotus feet thing - tk a look at this google book search [3]. Around The GlobeContact 12:40, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
Could you get Maharaj's name in Gujarati Juthani1 tcs 01:04, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
JSN,
Thanks - thts a boost! Yes, Im aware of tht but I thgt this particular way is unique to us (calling it thaal and singing the song). I no tht in other mandirs too they offer food, but I dont think they call it thaal, I think in most places its Bhog - further I dont think any song is sung .. Abt the lyrics - I had had a chat with Juthani1 - the ones Iv put are the original ones by Bhumanand Swami. If u go to put versions of diff sects u will end up with god knows how many lyrics! I dont know gujarati - I read by deciphering words - and tht turns out to be wrong many a time - I no Hindi and a few letters of gujarati - but tht does not serve our purpose. BTW Juthani1 is the gujju chap - hes learnt it - I req him to do it and hes passed the buck to u! See the 3rd userbox on his userpage .. and I almost forgot - the Bhagwan page. Wht hv u been doin all this while? If u go bak to all the mucky days, u would notice that the final settlement was done by Haribhagat, Bhudiya2, Moksha88 and WildT. Iv been in touch with the first 2, the second has gone into oblivion and the fourth hasnt bothered to reply my msg. I was after Haribhagat for sources as he was one of the main scriptwriters of this page (Bhudiya2 dint no much - he worked more on the Sampraday page) - I asked Haribhagat for sources and he told me to use the Williams book - he says thts the main neutral resource v should use. A lot of stuff was removed as POV as u prob no, you can say the soul of the article was missing. I therefore added some information on Bhagwans mandirs and Paramhansas recently to take it past start class .. Around The GlobeContact 12:41, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
JSN,
Sorry - Ill try to rem to mk a new section. Your right - v need a better intro para for the thaal. Iv seen lyrics in other places - see [4]. Dont worry even if u are criticising me its for the better of our articles. Well my time here is limited - Id like not to waste time waiting for the project to start - I dunno when thts gonna happen. I want to build the base of Swaminarayan articles ASAP. Is suugest u go ahead with the changes u wish to make. NP bout tht - Juthani1 has managed to get the gujarati wordings - Iv put him in a tizzy by asking for a devnagari and audio version too .. haha .. Around The GlobeContact 14:55, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
JSN,
Re. Devnagari - Iv added tht in all major Swaminarayan articles. I no the sp. are wrong in many pl. - but cant help tht - cld nt find how to get half the stuff on the keyboard .. Around The GlobeContact 09:50, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Sorry about not making new secions everytime. Some people get annoyed by this, btu I will do this on your talkpage from now on. I was wondering if we should add this quote to the article.
" Delhi is the throne. The flag should fly high in Delhi. A pinnacled monument will rise. The land which has been performing penance shall be acquired. Now Yamunaji is waiting. She has become restless. With certain surety, land on the banks of Yamunaji will be acquired. The Lord will fulfil this in His divine way."
Yogiji Maharaj (1969)
I found it here- [5]
Add it if you feel we should Juthani1 tcs 15:18, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
I have a task for you. Can you add citations throughout this article. It is lacking a lot of stuff. Juthani1 tcs 15:30, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
