Yes, I do suffer from something of what the Japanese called a hōgan-biiki (判官贔屓) empathy in my approach to the world. It does influence what attracts my attention, meaning I sympathise with the silenced underdog in so many conflicts, be they Aboriginals or Palestinians or Tibetans. This as far as I am aware does not translate into being uncomfortable with my country of origins, or antisemitic, or hostile to Chinese. From distinct backgrounds, I gather, several editors share this interest and they tend to work well together because they subscribe to the same principles of evidence which are commended in academia as they are on wikipedia as ideals.

Thank you

Hello TrangaBellam: I hope you did not think I was being brusque or cutting you off when I replied to your post on my talk page in the manner in which I did. I figured I'll get a few days off and take my mind away from WP-related things. Anyway, as you can see my block has expired and I want to thank you for you post. I notice you have also made some posts on Talk:Mahatma Gandhi. I look forward to reading them, as usual. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 17:48, 17 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Witzel revert

edit

It looks to me like you reverted a bunch of genuine improvements (that had been made by JJ in response to the activity you mentioned in your edit summary)? 100.36.106.199 (talk) 02:09, 1 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

It seems JJ has reimplemented the improvements you reverted, so this is moot. 100.36.106.199 (talk) 10:37, 2 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for keeping an eye, both of you. I'm finally getting the overall pattern: Indus-Sarasvati civilisation, ancient Hinduism, Indian subcontinent, etc.: all Hindutva-politics at play at Wikipedia. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 11:08, 2 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sultanate of Bijapur GA review

edit

Are you planning to do this sometime soon? It's been more than a month now; should I find a different reviewer? Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 22:36, 14 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I was (and am) reading the sources, etc. — unlike other GA reviewers, I believe reviewers must have relevant subject expertise. TrangaBellam (talk) 16:49, 15 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Defamatory statements on SIF talk page

edit

Your statement on Talk:Science of Identity Foundation (SIF is a cult) violates WP:BLP as defamatory. The sources in the article reported those assertions as accusations, not conclusions. Humanengr (talk) 20:20, 25 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Humanengr: Thanks but I do not agree. If you dispute, you can approach AE. TrangaBellam (talk) 05:38, 26 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
