Gregory Wonderwheel got this message that a page had been deleted and is not sure why. So I wrote this in the box to see what happens.

Bodily disappearances

Hmm, the coffin story isn't that some how connected to Clint Eastwood? Kazuba (talk) 03:13, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Antinomianism in Buddhism

I noticed you made some changes and critiques of the very shoddy Buddhism section of the "Antinomianism" article; I couldn't agree more with your critique of that shabby piece.

I wrote the Islam section of that article, and I was planning to do the Buddhism section, but then pretty much got tired of Wikipedia and more or less dropped out of the project (which is still true). However, if you really did at any point want to beef up that section, I've got a few notes and references and whatnot about where "antinomianism" in Buddhism stems from, what it is, etc.—the main idea is that it comes out of upāya-kauśalya, or "skill-in-means" (but that may just be my own idea and thus original research). The notes and stuff are over at my sandbox, if you're interested. Cheers. —Saposcat (talk) 13:56, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Samadhi

Hello, you recently added what seems to be an original essay on the subject of samadhi in Zen. Can you source any of your ideas? That is how it works, in accordance with WP:V. Thanks, Mitsube (talk) 17:38, 27 February 2010 (UTC) --Thanks, I'll source the material asap. User:Gregory Wonderwheel[reply]

Spoiler alerts

Hello Gregory, regarding this edit, per WP:SPOILER, Wikipedia does not include "spoiler alerts". Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and certain descriptions of films, television episodes, etc., should be expected by the reader. Grsz¹¹ 05:40, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Leverage

Gregory, please read WP:BRD so you understand how the editorial process works. As I noted on the talk page, any editor has the prerogative to revert your edits. It's not appropriate to request I stop removing them, or to revert once discussion is requested. Instead, work toward WP:CONSENSUS, and avoid an edit war. Remember, this is not a fan site, and your edits must rise to an encyclopedic standard, particularly spelling and grammar. "Like to know" is not to an encyclopedic standard. That's why we have TNT's website. Drmargi (talk) 04:56, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Manas-vijnana, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Manas and Intuition (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Gregory Wonderwheel/Michael Shalhoub

Please do not create hoaxes on Wikipedia, as you did at User:Gregory Wonderwheel/Michael Shalhoub. Doing so is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
