The following sentence in the article: "According to the Indian scriptures, the Jagadguru is a title given so that people can abide by the teachings of a Guru without any fear and in full confidence" is utterly interesting. It would be good to give examples of sacred Indian scriptures which develop on this explanation of the word Jagadguru. Also, sorry if the following question might appear polemic but it is not intended to be defamatory: I see that there are many individuals today who pretend to be the present Jagadguru. As far as I know, there can be only one Jagadguru at a given time. So, how to decide who is the real Jagadguru today ? I think it is likely that the real Jagadguru today is not one among those who publicly and outwardly pretend to be. TwoHorned 20:57, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] POV tag
This concerns POV tag cleanup. Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it. This permits discussion and consensus among editors. From WP tag policy: Drive-by tagging is strongly discouraged. The editor who adds the tag must address the issues on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies, namely Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Simply being of the opinion that a page is not neutral is not sufficient to justify the addition of the tag. Tags should be added as a last resort. Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements. This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags. No discussion, no tag.Jjdon (talk) 22:44, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
