[edit] A Belated Welcome

Hello, Dhammapal, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Newcomers help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page.

I noticed that no one gave you a formal welcome to Wikipedia so I am doing so now.

Why did you retract your question on Harmonious editing club? Are you still interested in advice? If so, leave me a note on my talk page and I can suggest some ways to resolve disputes.

The best place to start is with the Wikipedia article on resolving disputes.

Hope this helps.

[edit] moral relativism

Thanks for findinding a source for that info on the page! At some point we may need to shuffle around all of the various bits of support for and criticism of moral relativism, but adding sources makes it much easier to do the eventual reorganization the page will need.

[edit] Interwikis

Hey, Dhammapal, I guess you're hep to this point yet, but you oughtn't to make links to the other Wikipedias, such as Simple English, under the "external links" space. Instead, you should use the special "interwikis" format, which goes like this [[foo:Bu'udas]] where "foo" is the code for the language. i.e., Japanese is "ja:", Chinese is "zh:" (except Cantonese is "zh-yue:"), and Simple English, I believe, is "simple:". This makes the interlanguage links appear off to the side of most people's screens. - Nat Krause(Talk!) 04:35, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi Dhammapal!

Just thought I'd drop a line and say Hi! Seems like we're browsing around similar stuff and that you're familiar with the Forest Tradition here in the West. Hope all is well! Obhaso 06:16, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

P.S. I'm looking at the re-direct you put on Renunciation and I'm thinking of removing it and putting a bit of an article there instead since it encompassses more than just Nekkhamma. Just a heads up to let you know what I'm up to.

Yepp, it's odd how so few people think of Renunciation!  :) Yeah, Ajahn Sudanto told me about the new SuttaReadings site, but I just now looked at it. I'm always glad to see new stuff like this going on. I'm pretty closely conected to Abhayagiri and the sangha there but I've also been able to talk with Tan Geoff a few times and have really appreciated his talks.

I look forward to working with you! In kindness, Obhaso 07:01, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi!

Hi Antony!

I've just added my name to the list at the Buddhism Portal. I'd like to get involved, creating, editing, whatever needs doing! If there's anything you think I could help with, please let me know, either on my talk page or by email (user dot rentwa at googlemail dot com). Rentwa 22:25, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Buddha article

Hi Dhammapal,

I'm responding to your note here rather than on Wikipedia talk:Harmonious editing club because this discussion doesn't really concern that group any more.

I have the Buddha article on my watchlist but, in truth, I haven't paid much attention to it. After reading your note on Wikipedia talk:Harmonious editing club, I popped over to Talk:Buddha and looked at the article's edit history.

I am still unclear on what changes have been made (being too lazy to really inspect each individual edit). Based on the comments on the article's Talk Page, it appears that there is a consensus that it is important to mention the concept of the Eternal Buddha but not to let it dominate the article.

Presumably, this is a resolution that is satisfactory to you. If that's true, I'm glad that it worked out. A lesson that I've learned in the past few weeks is that things sometimes work out if you step away and let somebody else address the issue. Good lesson for real life as well.

Best regards, Richard
