FYI, I think you take too hard of a line sometimes. At the recent discussion debate for Marisol Deluna you claimed "other editors here have clearly shown [the NYT wedding announcement] to not be a valid source", which completely disregards my "no it's OK because it meets the requirements of [[WP:SELFPUB]]" argument that I've made in a couple places.

:this kind of commentary really serves no purpose. It's basically just an insult ("you don't listen.") the fact is actually I just don't agree. And another editor I feel slam dunked the argument against using the source beyond even my points. If other editors agree with our assessment, I don't think that means I apologize to you.

::My apologies. I could have worded that better. You said "without a vetted source I don't trust her claims" on the talk page.

== The information you have on the SGI is 1000% incorrect which is why I completely changed it. ==
First of all your spelling of the Soka Gakkai is incorrect. Secondly we have no affliation with George M. Williams anymore. Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo is a chant we do not refer to it as a mantra. And how dare you refer to the Soka Gakkai the largest Buddhism in the world, in over 192 countries and territories as a "minor sect" of Buddhism.
Please stop slanding the law for you will suffer of insessient suffering.

:Ah, I see. One of ''those''. First of all, there is no such thing as "1000%" and clearly the section is not even 100% incorrect - much of it is quite verifiable, if more objective than you would clearly like it to be. Second, "law" is a terrible translation of the term "Dharma" and virtually no one uses it now; your fundamentalist fear-mongering does not go down well here (proof for anyone interested that Buddhism does indeed have fundamentalists as narrow minded as in any other religion). Lastly, I didn't write any of the section in question, "sland" anyone, nor am I experiencing "of insessient suffering" (I suggest you use spell/grammar check, and not necessarily correct others' spelling). Other editors wrote the section. Editors who used sources. And who know how to edit here. Continue down this road and you will experience "of incessant blocking" for disruptive editing. Or on the other hand, you could simply find some decent sources, and use them to correct any material you feel could be made more accurate - however, from your comments here I have my doubts you'll have much interest in historical accuracy or neutrality.[[User:Tao2911|Tao2911]] ([[User talk:Tao2911#top|talk]]) 19:55, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
::to reiterate my comment on your talk page: "Hello- welcome to Wikipedia. It appears you created a user ID to make edits to only one article, [[Buddhism in the United States]]. The edits you made there are not acceptable. They demonstrate a very forceful single 'Point of View" and this violates the principle of remaining neutral here. Here is a helpful page describing the guideline: [[WP:NPOVT]]. I would also suggest that you review general editing guidelines: [[WP:GUIDELINE]]. Your formatting was likewise not in keeping with WP standards (inline links, no sources for contentious claims, etc.) Remember - this is not the place to push your point of view, for or against Nichiren or any sect derived from his teachings or traditions, or any others."

You better make some specific points here. Someone took out "non-traditional", not because its innacurrate, but because the placement was confusing. I moved it, and reworked the line.

:well I was away from computer and wasn't able to respond. Just like to say that editor youreallycan has showed bias against me personally before. He lied at the board saying I reverted HIS POV tag, when I reverted twice, explained why and asked that an independent editor replace if deemed necessary (with explaination); and '''it wasn't his tag''', it was Abhyakara's, who has been repeatedly warned for POV issues, edit warring, and whitewashing the page. I made dozens of highly constructive edits to that page, incorporating and addressing nearly all of Abhayakara's concerns, solely excepting his repeated desire to simply remove all info he deems "negative" about his admitted guru. So, clearly I disagree with the decision, but whatever. I will happily return to life. Just keep an eye on that page, kids. Abhayakara is sure to be at it with a vengeance, and other editors there have been less than thorough (leaving huge gaps, and making the page have less than real sense).[[User:Tao2911|Tao2911]] ([[User talk:Tao2911#top|talk]]) 17:59, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

::Well, if you had any integrity, you wouldn't nominate someone for blocking without 'knowing what is going on here'. Also, if you really are a college professor you would not defer to someone in your own field if that person had no professional qualifications in the subject. This is standard etiquette in academic culture. Mr Jonathan has no professional education in the field (even at the undergraduate level), has no experience of publishing and is not a native speaker of English. His many errors of grammar and syntax demonstrate this admirably. These are not ''ad hominem'' attacks but statements of fact. As an academic your profession obliges you to defer to someone who is internationally recognised in the field over someone who has no formal education in the field whatsoever. As a result of your haste you have not only caused another editor to report me for blocking but you are causing many months of hard work by a community of committed editors to be undone by someone who has very little knowledge of the subject.

:I wouldn't say so exactly. It's more the issue of him muddying the waters, mixing his business/self-help/pop psychology with his authentic Zen bona fides. He is a Soto priest; being a priest does not make you "enlightened". In fact, as his generation especially demonstrates, it can lead to a lot of inflation and confusion. He said he was going to "turn in his robes", ie stop being a priest. I wish he would've followed through - but no, he was "begged" (he claims) not to do so (by one guy - failing to give any heed to the three dozen that asked him to follow through). What would Zen do without him? (More quickly recover and flourish, I'd say.)[[User:Tao2911|Tao2911]] ([[User talk:Tao2911#top|talk]]) 20:26, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
::I've checked (again) all of his titles; it's actually just the normal Zen-curriculum. But it is presented as "big stuff", like "look what I've accomplished!"

I'm assuming you know about [[WP:3RR]]. If not, now you do. The burden is on you to get consensus for controversial changes. [[User:Grayfell|Grayfell]] ([[User talk:Grayfell|talk]]) 21:16, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
== January 2018 ==
[[File:Stop hand nuvola.svg|30px|left|alt=Stop icon]] Your recent editing history at [[:Proud Boys]] shows that you are currently engaged in an [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|edit war]]. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|talk page]] to work toward making a version that represents [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See [[Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle|BRD]] for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant [[Wikipedia:Noticeboards|noticeboard]] or seek [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]]. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|page protection]].
'''Being involved in an edit war can result in your being [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]]'''—especially if you violate the [[Wikipedia:Edit warring#The three-revert rule|three-revert rule]], which states that an editor must not perform more than three [[Help:Reverting|reverts]] on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—'''even if you don't violate the three-revert rule'''—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.<!-- Template:uw-3rr --> [[User:Grayfell|Grayfell]] ([[User talk:Grayfell|talk]]) 21:18, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
