Hi

Please check the discussion before making edits.

We have not come to an agreement over why all the controversy have to be removed. Others accept some but not all. Many are referenced in the academic papers listed and academic papers yet to be listed.

Thanks. 195.82.106.244 01:39, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I agree entirely with your statement: "Please check the discussion before making edits." I also entirely agree with Admin Jossi's comments on the controversy section. To me, the two go hand in hand. You may have a different interpretation, but that is mine. Thanks. Appledell 21:48, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Its been discussed. You did not respond. There are no such rules.

You are a BK. You can easily check against the BKWSU's own records and those given in the referenced books as can any other contributor.

That is the way the wiki works. 195.82.106.244 11:44, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Erm, sorry, "you are a BK"...so what's the point you're making? I think you'll find YOU did not respond to my issue about linking to that site (copyright infringement) - whether the posters are genuine or not is not the issue I'm addressing. Anyway, I see the posters have not made it back into the article, so that's alright then. :-)

What is the point? You can go look in the center's or main center's library or call up Jayanti or Janki and check the facts with them. Personally, I would depend on the written rather than verbal evidence. If you are going to Madhuban this season, you can also check there. If you need me to tell you exactly where, I can do so.

One fact it would be worth checking was this one about Lekhraj Kirpalani being so sure of Destruction in '76 that he was promising to give away all this fortune.

The posters are also covered under WIkipedia's fair use policy. 195.82.106.244 08:15, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, --Srikeit 17:45, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am unclear as to what my involvement is in this arbitration case. If someone can help explain it to me, I'd be very greatful. Appledell 19:22, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Appledell; You have been an editor of the article About Brahma Kumaris. Certainly, you have "your side" in this. Why are you posting? what is what you se in this article which prompted you to post? and finally, do you have any evidence which backs up your view? Best Wishes, avyakt7 00:48, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University, to which you have helped contribute, has been flagged as requiring cleanup. If possible, we would appreciate your assistance in cleaning up this article to bring it up to Wikipedia's quality standards. If you are unsure what the nature of the problem is, please discuss this on the article's talk page.

I removed a brief comment on the BKWSU talk page since it was in response to a suspected banned user and wouldn't be relevant by itself. Hope that is OK.

BTW. To sign posts use four tildes instead of two. Thanks & regards Bksimonb 07:30, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Appledell. I see you have also had some problems on the BKWSU talk page [2]. I would like to file an Rfc [3] to try and resolve the problems we are experiencing with the user concerned. This requires that two editors try and reach a solution on his/her talk page. I have tried that and got a less than stellar response [4] [5]. I would appreciate that you also try. You also seem to have picked up on some biased misrepresentation of references in the article [6].

Welcome back Appledell! Good to se ya... Best, Riveros11 17:25, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, replied at my talk page. :) Orderinchaos 12:23, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So as you think both versions are fine - but me and the two other editors have entrenched views on which of the two to use, do you have any suggestion of how to move this forward? Appledell (talk) 14:06, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about the warning. I've left a comment here. · AndonicO Hail! 10:06, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
