Alt account
editHello, I am wpondering if you could help with some information regarding editors with alt accounts, there has been a editor that has started doing some large edits on some off the Buddhist pages that you would be aware of. Does a wiki editor have to declare when they have another account, if they do and they haven't done this what is the next step. Thankyou for your time Foristslow (talk) 07:47, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Foristslow: yes, an WP:Alternate account has to be disclosed. Who is the editor in question? Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 07:51, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for getting back to me it is a editor by the name of Likes Thai Food. Foristslow (talk) 08:28, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- I think they're very good; what alternate accounts could they be using? Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 17:59, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- editor.The editor in question has not verified their account and obviously they have vast experience with editing 8n comparison to time first joined. So if I want to get this investigated what do I do next.Thank you for your time Foristslow (talk) 08:42, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- You can ask the editor themself if they have edited before? Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 09:11, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- i think if they were going to be honest they would be transparent with a legitimate account. So what is the process to have 5his investigated. Thankyou Foristslow (talk) 09:51, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- So you think that there is nothing unusual about the account, that it is unlikely to be a Alt account and that it doesn't warrant investigation is that what you are saying. Do you think other experienced editors would concur with you. Foristslow (talk) 22:05, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- Just want to jump in real quick and say that I actually know Likes Thai Food personally. He's a very knowledgeable person when it comes to certain topics on Chinese Buddhism. That is why I personally encouraged him to join wikipedia even though he wasn't initially interested. And now that he did he is being treated in a rude manner by you. Please be more kind to new editors. Assume good will and so forth. Javier F.V. 13:39, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply, my problem was how does this editor have so much editing experience and gumption as a new account. Is this even allowed on this platform you are editing the same pages. Foristslow (talk) 22:05, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- He doesn't have much experience, he's just a good writer. I showed him a few wikipedia editing things when he asked me, but generally, he's not doing anything particularly difficult, just adding sourced content. I'm not sure what else you want to confirm he's a different person? Also, I've been on wiki for over fifteen years making standard edits in specific Buddhist pages. Why would I make a sockpuppet account all of a sudden to edit more other wiki pages? It's not like our accounts are doing anything against the rules. Why would I go through the trouble of making a second account just to keep editing Buddhist wikipedia pages? Also, even though we've worked on a few pages together (again, what is wrong with this?), we are doing different projects. For example, July 30 I was working on Shandao (check the logs) while he was working on the Koan page.Javier F.V. 12:43, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

@Foristslow, Javierfv1212, and Likes Thai Food: as far as I can tell, Likes Thai Food is a very knowledgeable editor, who's learning very well how to edit and argue. And, funny thing, I can see that Javier taught LTF; they both use<blockquote> instead of {{blockquote|, and both put their sources in the body of the article, instead of using the sfn-format. So, I'd say, drop it, Foristslow, and concencrate on editing and arguing on content. Regards, Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 13:34, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Wikiproject
editHi, I see you've contributed a lot to Vedas, would you be interested in a wikiproject on oral tradition? Kowal2701 (talk) 19:28, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Kowal2701: no, sorry; my interest is specifically in Buddhism and Buddhism-related traditions. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 19:53, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- You don’t have to do general articles, you could still just focus on a specific area/topic. I imagine most people would stick to the area/region they’re interested in, it’s just about get people interested in each area/region Kowal2701 (talk) 19:56, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
Problem?

- @Doug Weller: Telugu Chodas seems to be the common name; Google books gives only one hit for Andhra Chodas, and just a few for Andhra Cholas (...). Same for Google scholar. Regards, Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 20:43, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
Good article or? Same Tamil editor. Doug Weller talk 18:14, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Doug Weller: no. Crucial info is unsourced ("The Renati Cholas, also known as the Renadu Cholas, a branch of Andhra Chodas who belong to the family of Sangam Tamil King Karikala Chola, ruled parts of present-day Andhra Pradesh between the 5th and 10th centuries CE."; "Historians refer to them as the Renati Cholas"); other info is not backed by the source ("They were independent mostly but mostly they were forced to suzerainty of the Pallavas."). Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 21:00, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Joshua Jonathan Any suggestions what to do about it? I'm not sure I have the time or knowledge. Doug Weller talk 07:04, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Doug Weller: some coaching? Shall I give it a try? I have bad experiences with mentor, but this editor seems to have good intentions. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 09:15, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yes please. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 09:47, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
