[edit] Six Goswamis
Hi Dwayne/Dave - I've eventually got round to looking at the Six Goswamis of Vrindavan article and associated pages. Thought that you might like to take a look in case anything has been missed out? A few of the individual Goswami pages still need a substantial tidy-up in my opinion. Ys, GourangaUK 15:08, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hari. I haven't had a chance to check the pages out yet, but will endeavour to do so in the future. Thank you for the notice :) Hare Krishna Chopper Dave 18:22, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Devamrita Swami
Just out of curiosity, what ethnicity is he then? If he's not Indian was he initiated by Srila Prabhupada?Bakaman Bakatalk 16:09, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not entirely sure, but I know for a fact that he's not Indian. He was initiated by Srila Prabhupada yes. Chopper Dave 18:13, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- I've been working on Category:American Hindus, Category:Converts to Hinduism, and Category:Indian Americans . Thanks to ISKCON's efforts the first two are beginning to fill up.Bakaman Bakatalk 19:10, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Krishnawithflute.jpg
Hi Chopper - there are debates going on over a number of fair-use BBT images at the moment. See Image talk:Samsara.jpg. It's looking like they are going to be removed unless something changes. It will be a shame for the articles as the images add a lot to the written descriptions. There is this image of Krishna in the commons, it's a transcendental 'Barnstar'.

- I've replaced the main image on the Krishna article with a painting which is more than 200 years old, and thus copyright free. I would have like to keep the painting you had uploaded of Krishna with the flute, but it doesn't look possible under the fair-use tag. Ys, GourangaUK 21:04, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] HLAH
It's to do with fair use. I've noticed lately the a lot of the music project admins are "taking out" so to speak, any discography that looks more like a gallery than like a list. That and well this article would have been the odd one out where the NZ musical groups are concerned. Though you have done an amazing job in maintaining the HLAH page I must admit and I also can probably guess that in the way of formatting we probably aren't going to agree.

- The admins must be pretty lopsided, considering pages like Radiohead Discography still remains with the much nicer looking gallery format. I just don't really understand the point of having a lot of extra empty fields -_- Chopper Dave 21:37, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wiki Links
Thought you might find these useful for use in articles - Hare Krishnas and Hare krsna (which I've redirected today to the main Hare Krishna). Ys, Gouranga(UK) 09:24, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New Articles
Hi Dave - Good job on the articles, I'll add what information I can. Might be difficult to get solid details on all of the eleven, but it would be useful to have what is available together in one page. Ys, Gouranga(UK) 11:22, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:GameLifeLogo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:GameLifeLogo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] ISKCON after 1977
Hari Dave, following your suggestion I've mocked up a new section for the Iskcon page, see: User:GourangaUK/Sandbox. It's missing a few details that you might have to hand, such as the date the GBC started and number of members? Let me know what you think and feel free to edit it if you think anything needs improving. Best Wishes, ys, Gouranga(UK) 11:37, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
