[edit] Kirtanananda Swami

Wow, you have really improved this article. The last time I looked it was little more than a stub! Best wishes, Gouranga(UK) (talk) 15:54, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I think it is a really sad story. Andries (talk) 23:21, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Richard Rose

What's the point in all the Keith Ham/Krishna material you added to the Richard Rose article? Several people have spent a few hundred hours writing and editing and arguing over its content. You will find all that discussion in the Talk page archives. The general principle hammered out was that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a biography. Meaning that every bit of historical information is not necessary in an encyclopedia, and in fact is distracting to the reader. The guy was tricked and signed a bad lease. So what? The reason for the article is to do justice to the efforts of Richard Rose in reaching sincere spiritual seekers with his unique teachings and method. We who knew him well could fill endless web pages of anecdotes and personal stories but this would be distracting from the purpose of an encyclopedia article. Furthermore, past fights over this page resulted in the removal of other such details and those contributors would cry foul if your's were included. Apparently you are an expert on the life of convicted criminal and alleged child-molester Kieth Ham but what does it add to the message of Richard Rose to associate him with said criminal? If your intent is to make a positive contribution to the message of Richard Rose, then I don't see how this helps. There is ample material on the web for those whose interest is caught and wish to look further into the details of Richard Rose's colorful personality and life. If your intent is to draw readers away from the Richard Rose page by references to pages you have authored, then your "contribution" falls somewhere between ego and spam. If your intent is to provide salacious details that apparently titillate you, and which you wish to burden the reader with, then please find another forum. This last note is personal. But my main point is that your addition violates Wikipedia principles by adding unnecessary detail. Believe me, I and other people have a thousand times more information than you do but we chose not to complicate the article by including it. Please respond either here or on my talk page. Thank you.

[edit] Guido Deiro figure to Commons?

Hi Henry! I saw that you had added a photo of Guido Deiro to en-wikipedia. Just in case you would add pictures in the future: if you would be able to add them directly to Wikipedia Commons, they would also be usable for other language versions as well (such as the Finnish one, you know :-). I try to move it there when I have more time... But if you can do that meanwhile, I would be very grateful.Yours.Tetopa (talk) 22:16, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
