basis, I believe that the best approach might be to treat it like any other advertisement, and engage in market research. It would certainly be possible to alter the banner template in such a way as to add a second, short-term, template below it indicating that opinions are being gathered on this subject. Presumably, only those people interested in such articles, and possibly Hinduism, would see them, and this would help to limit the responses to what is effectively the target audience. Then, in typical market research fashion, have a serious of questions on the linked-to page asking the respondents their opinions on the image, the banner itself, their edit history, whatever, and then have the members of the project use this information to decide the content of the banner. I do think that the final decision would best be handled only by the active members of the project, as it is basically their advertising tool. Personally, I regret to say that my own activity as an editing member of this project has been rather embarrasingly little, and on that basis am recusing myself from participating in the final decision. However, I would be more than willing to help design the questionnaire (if it is decided to use one) to help gather the information for the decision.
1985:(or elsewhere) to such a posting, saying something like "(Bleep) the (bleeping) (bleeps)," although maybe a bit more specifically, and subsequently expresses a corresponding opinion on the swastika discussion page, that opinion might be reasonably overlooked. I have seen similar things take place in XfD's, when the closing admin effectively discounted certain opinions. Granted that only happened when all the members of a project proposed for deletion said "keep", but all other parties said "delete," and even then I only remember it once. Alternately, and I really don't like saying thisĀ :), if there is the appearance and reasonable suspicion of such wrongdoing taking place, maybe suspend the decision and start the process over again a month or two later, probably in the same venue. That last option would only be used in extreme cases, like, for instance, if we were to see all the members of the German mysticism or Judaism projects all express a similar opinion, and few others even take part, despite no visible canvassing, then maybe we would be justified in thinking something happened somewhere that we can't verify. 1918:
particular, I think that some of the more adamant adherents of possibly almost Zionist thought would be among the most likely to respond, particularly if this discussion is linked to on any of the Jewish project talk pages. (I am not numbering Ryan among the group of the Zionist group, by the way). Several individuals from other Knowledge and general-interest groups would probably be less motivated to respond, and on that basis their opinions may very easily be underrepresented in the number of opinions expressed. Having said that, I have no way of knowing how to accomodate for it. However, I very much think indicating this page exists primarily, perhaps exclusively, on the

prejudicial purposes as being an attack in and of itself. And, as indicated above, I added that to make it easier when the final determination is made. Also, I note that once again you have failed to respond to a direct question. As I asked, if, as you seem to indicate, you prefer some other means of deciding these things other than by following an explicit guideline, please say so directly. To date, you have indicated that you "object" to attempts to follow this guideline. What other means are you proposing? As for the questions, please see the last comment on the third archived page, which you have yet to respond to.

suddenly become interested in Hinduism, and it would only be in those extreme situations that the extreme measures I indicated would ever be enacted. One can still assume good faith from people who are brought here by extraordinary, possibly unacceptable means. However, if and only if such means are employed, it is reasonable to question whether the results were scewed by such unacceptable means, by possibly bringing in a number of editors acting in good faith who would never have become aware of it were unacceptable means not taken to draw their attention to the discussion.

projects, 'welcomes', and template-space content - and any other policies the involved parties feel are relevant. The more I think about it, the inflammatory nature of some of these topics leads me to ask whether mediation or an actual RfC may be appropriate after all. Just wondering whether the process may help us avoid acrimony. Note that I'm not calling for it, but those thoughts did just occur to me after some reflection. I'm still quite willing to entertain Noble's suggestion if, as Priyanath said, we can all avoid breaking trust between the different adherents. --
1883:
think I've made the assumption that anyone here is Hindu, or Jainist, or Moonie for that matter - but I have made the point stridently that this should not be set up as a 'Hindus vs. Jews' issue (it's not). The non-dualistic nature of this debate should already be evident as the 'poll' had four, not two, options. Overally, I'd prefer we not go down the road of putting metaphorical stars or swastikas on peoples' coats to determine 'sides' and let their ideas alone speak for them. That's the WP way as I understand it. --
623:. At no point did I ask you your genetic heritage. I inquired about on what basis you viewed yourself as being qualified to express a blanket comment about German law whose reasons have changed in the past few years, and in the process indicated my own genetic heritage and, more importantly, that I studied in Germany for two years. Your misrepresentation of that statement for rhetorical purposes is, if conscious, contemptible, and, if uncounscious, shows a rather less than desirable attention to detail. 445:. However, in a show of the good faith you insist that others take for granted, I would request that you directly respond to the points that I have already noted you have failed to respond to. And, I ask again, please directly and unambiguouly respond to the question of which means other than the official guideline you wish to follow in this particular instance, a direct question you have yet to answer directly and clearly. And, for what it's worth, 31: 2178:
Om" be restored to the explanation of Aum (I didn't know they were the same thing, and "Om" explained Aum to me in one syllable). A little more delicately I wonder if some reference to the nazi symbol be restored, maybe with different wording than my original version. Perhaps something like "This 3000-year-old symbol of Hindu spirituality should never be confused with the version appropriated by political movements of the WW2 era".
98:, I am hoping we can keep the discussion civil. I'd like to humbly request that the swastika be removed from the welcome template, in favor of the Aum, or of no images at all. In this way users can be welcomed to the project without possible insult - and the nature of the swastika as a symbol of good fortune in Hinduism can be learned by the users at their own pace, without fear of unintentional insult. Many thanks. -- 3143:. I have been trying to put in aspects of other religions into this article, since the article is now mostly (completely) western and christian oriented. As I recall Shiva is seen as omnipotent by Shaivism, Vishnu in Vaishnavism (read this in the Gita) and Shakti in Shaktism. I have to little knowledge on this to place any accurate references, hence my callling here, to also give this aricle an eastern point of view. 559:
consensus without further off-topic comment and attacks upon others (calling something a "personal attack" is itself a form of attack), then it could continue. On that basis, I would request that all parties more or less shut up about the subject and allow other interested individuals to chime in. On that basis, in an attempt to determine consensus, I restate the question and responses to date.
356:
you think we will? I'm pessimistic on that, and don't want to end up browbeating each other for weeks until everyone gets too pissed off to care.) So if anyone has a solution to suggest - suggest it. My thinking is: using the tally results isn't a terrible idea, just because it would provide a solution and course of action. It's not ideal, but it's an approach. --
172:. What other means of coming to a decision are you proposing, if it is a different one? By the indications of support above, there is a consensus (over 50% of respondents) indicating that option A is their choice. I acknowledge that their may be subsequent indications of opinion. However, I did think it valuable to include the results. 841::5 indications of support, three of which were "no action whatsoever", one of which was "(i)f one goes, all should go!" *Any other editors who become aware of this discussion through normal means are encouraged to respond below, so that we can try to determine what the consensus opinion on this matter is. Thank you for your attention. 2347:
such a symbol a great evil. Do i call the cross evil even though there were iquistions? Do I find the arabic and cresent evil even though they raped and pillaged from iran to afghanistan? Both though symbols stand for organizations that killed more than the nazis did over the course of 2000 years. And we're not NAZIS!--
607:(Update: if the 'attempt to determine consensus' section below is 'the questions' to which you refer, I believe sincerely that I have answered it already - that I agree with B and C - but that I don't believe a poll can determine consensus. If that is a satisfactory answer, I'll leave it lay and let others respond. -- 1476:. I think we would learn much more that way, and maybe even get some good ideas for another solution. Here's a shorter version of what I suggested above, if indeed shortness is the main priority: "What do you think of seeing the Hindu Swastika here? Did you take offense? Did you find it educational? Feedback(link)" 2453:
I don't think Amoruso claimed to think 'consensus had been reached' - he or she probably viewed the reasons provided and on the face of it thought it a good idea. I guess he didn't imagine there would be such vehement opposition to replacing the swastika (a controversial symbol for many) with the Aum
2336:
And D-Boy, you don't have to be an "idiot" not to know about the swastika. It is a prominent feature of Western culture, closely associated with the Nazis, and is still used to represent that association. Regardless of its use in India, that remains true. You can't wish it away simply by aggressively
2008:
Seconded. Upon reflection I'm concerned that any effort like this to determine or validate the motives, (or worse, the ethnicity or religious affiliation) of respondents is reinforcing very bad faith behavior. I recommend that we consciously reject any process or potential course of action that would
1397:
I like the idea, too, if it fit's with Knowledge protocols (though I think we're all making it up as we go along). And I second the opinion of Nat Krause of rewording it so it invites opinions from all. Something more like "What do you think of seeing the Hindu Swastika here with the explanation? Did
704:
Apologies of course accepted, no hard feelings and let's all renew our commitment to try to keep the acrimony out of what is a difficult topic of discussion. We may disagree vehemently with each others' positions, but we won't help anything by personalizing the debate. You have my most sincere thanks
558:
And, finally, the easiest way to allow the conversation to continue is by not repeatedly, in an off-topic way, impugning and attacking others. If you would allow the conversation to continue without these off-topic comments of yours, and allow other people to actually address the attempt to determine
488:
People are welcome to disagree - but this conversation has been about me, and not the issue of the template - and without substantiation of the criticism (making clear to me which points you believe I'm 'avoiding'), I see such conduct as outside the bounds of good faith. I would be delighted to focus
404:
Please note once again the effort to ignore and refuse to answer directly asked questions. And, by Ryan's willful misstatement of my earlier statement, I can only assume that she includes herself in the group of people who "attack other editors, marginalizing their views and impugning their motives."
286:
If you honestly believe that my use of ONE word - 'vote', instead of 'poll' - was a willful misstatement as you characterize it, I can only assure you it wasn't and point out that after all the words exchanged thus far, your taking one word in that way may illustrate that you are seeing attacks where
3831:
Just to let the Hinduism Project members know, there is no requirement that we use the standard invitation message. Just as many people create their own welcome templates on their user sub-pages, you can create your own. I will probably create my own with no images and a couple of other differences.
2152:
After finally getting my head together from the cold I've had the past week or so (insert joke here), it occurs to me that there might be a better way of coming to a decision regarding the greeting template. Basically, the template is basically being used as an advertisement for the project. On that
2112:
My comment was made as a general comment, and was addressed to all editors. My comment was prompted by Nobleeagle's comment above "we already know the Hindu side would be something like...". However, I don't wish to single out Nobleeagle as being especially guilty in this regard, just stating that
1882:
Whatever my faith is (Flying Spaghetti Monster, Zoroastrianism, Church of the Poison Mind, etc.) it's my own business and it's kinda not cool to make such claims. Everyone's ideas should be considered independently of whatever faith (or whatever non-faith) they follow - or don't follow, yes? I don't
1492:
Maybe phrasing like "If you would like to leave any comments on the presence of the swastika on this templage, positive of negative, please feel free to do so {here}}". If we use anything other than the standard phrasing I tend to see in such instances, we might be seen by some as indicating that a
457:
Again, I am unsure which specifc points you are referring and I decidely want to avoid the view that I am avoiding any issues at all. To avoid clutter, please list 'em on my talk page, or some other place (or here if you'd like) and I'll be more than happy to answer them. Last, emphasis is emphasis,
440:
You are right to question my phrasing. My apologies. I had previously used the phrase failed to respond to, and this used stronger language, for which I apologize. However, I have noted that you have once again failed to respond to the points I have made earlier which call into question whether your
355:
The question Badbill raised above is a valid one, which is essentially "is resolution possible, and, if so, how." What sign will we eventually take to mean that there is consensus one way or the other? We're never going to reach the point where we say "ok, looks like everyone agrees on X." (Or do
249:
No. However, it is considered good form to respond to direct questions. As I have just posted above, the clear consensus (which is what wikipedia guidelines call for) to date is for Option A, retaining the aum and swastika. Clearly, however, not all voices have yet been heard. And, if as you stated,
2555:
Actually, I think we would leave the Jainism banner to the Jainism project, as it is a completely separate entity. And, in this case, the function of the banner is basically advertising the project, so in this instance it would make sense to know if the ad does potentially "turn off" some potential
2177:
since it's basically an RFC. Note: I'm not Hindu and only happened to come across the template because I was clicking around some Hindu-related articles. I was taken aback by the swastika and found my way here. I'm mostly ok with the current version of the template but would like to ask that "or
1998:
though, and I can't support this proposal if we're going to be discounting the thoughts of some editors or groups of editors for no substantiated reason other than "appearance and reasonable suspicion". Even if all of the members of one project support or oppose a course of action that isn't a good
1931:
I'd echo Bill's concern, but from the reverse perspective. Like Bill's Zionist concerns, I have a concern that individuals who simply want to promulgate the use of the swastika regardless of its meaning to Hindus may indicate 'no offense' or 'keep the swastika' not for the good of WP, but merely to
1123:
I've asked him on his talk page. Also, I've removed my sig from 'Option C', since I didn't put it there in the first place. It is my sincere hope that this will not be perceived by anyone as inflammatory (as it is not intended to be), but rather as my decision not to have anyone but me sign for me.
906:
I'm the one that left the "If one goes, all should go" comment. What I meant was if the swastika is removed from the Hindu welcome box, the symbols of all religious projects should go. However, I would ultimately like all symbols to stay the way they are. Anyway, I think the ā€˜tallyā€™ shows that many
684:
No, that is a direct answer. I apologize. It is however a clearly and explicitly useless answer, as such "discussion" would seemingly be neverending. I thought that it could be assumed that a direct answer also meant a useful answer, and failed to see that a direct, if at least potentially useless,
632:
Your question was a contemptible question to ask, since personal expertise by WP editors is not a basis for validating their comments. I'm not sure what else can be done to satisfy your concerns, but I'm happy to continue to try to do so. If you sincerely believe my comments were a personal attack,
592:
unproductive. As far as 'shutting up', I'm perfectly happy to give the conversation some 'air' - but that request is in direct opposition to your other concern (that I've not responded to direct questions). I don't want to be perceived as avoiding questions or in any way duplicitous... so if I know
2616:
I tend to agree with BostonMA above. The question would then be would we be requesting general comments, like "keep it," "get rid of it", etc., or would we want to get some more specific answers as well? These might include have you ever contributed to Hinduism articles, how often, do you have any
2346:
Western culture! finland still uses the swastika. Latvia still uses the swastika. Celtcs used. Romans used. Scandanvians used it. Last time I checked, these countries are western countries. You do realize that wikipedia is not just western don't you. Also, I find it offensive that you call
2203:
Yeah the idea is to differentiate the usage. There ought to be some wording possible that's not apologetic and doesn't scold and is concise and accurate, all at the same time. I'm just having trouble finding it. How about "The swastika's usage in Hindu spirituality should never be confused with
1907:
The only potential problem I see is that it's going to be highly dependent on how much the welcome template is used in the next month. In the past it's gone through stages of heavy use followed by almost complete disuse. This experiment will only be useful if the template gets put on a lot of talk
1071:
Wasn't intending to "update the totals" until the end, to avoid possibly misleading people (and to avoid having to change them everytime an opinion was expressed). You had already indicated B the first time around, and it is included in the prior totals, which is why I only added C as an addition.
1026:
Point taken. I was mistakenly repeating the phrasing for rhetorical purposes, to highlight the fact that not everybody has "chimed in" yet. However, I certainly hope that other people take the opportunity to express an opinion. Also, it should be noted that Ryan has also indicated an approval for
757:
personal attacks, stick to the subject rather than the contributors - maybe that will work. However, we've had a pretty good faith debate here. It derailed when everyone had made their points and people just didn't agree - that's why I'm pessimistic about further debate getting to a resolution.
259:
I disagree with your sumup of the consensus - 9 'votes' to keep it unchanged, and 7 'votes' to remove one or more images. That's not consensus and you yourself described it as being 'not the final tally'. As far as direct questions, which are you awaiting an answer? I find it very telling that yet
3515:
A link doesn't address the issue, it's just a link. A welcome template isn't the place to provoke a user to follow a link to understand a symbol. Your first version (without the swastika) addressed all four issues. This one is a mere compaction of the prior version. I recommend you revert back to
2262:
Not everyone in the West is an idiot. Even in the public school we're taught that hilter corrupted the swastika. many of us were taught where it came from. You have the word Hindu there. it's not a nazi recruitment. You want to change it? go ahead. but it'll just lead to more censorship and
1970:
This idea is becoming more and more similar to a simple RfC, which isn't a bad thing; personally I think that following an established Wiki approach to such situations is better than coming up with a new, unproven method. Either way, if we're weighting the opinions of other editors based on their
998:
Indeed, we do have a consensus of all those editors who have seen this discussion in the past day or so. However, a full consensus would probably involve the input of other editors who may check this page, less regularly. I am hoping to give these editors, who check in less regularly, a chance to
770:
Point taken. I note the "other party" has seemed to retire from the discussion, for whatever reason, and I intend to as well. However, there may well be other additional parties out there who legitimately regularly visit this page who have not yet expressed an opinion. This "extension" is more or
418:
If you mean "Do I believe resolution is possible?" My answer is a decided YES. I don't see why this issue is different from any other discussion of template (non-article space) content on WP. Your description of my conduct is to me, grossly inaccurate to the point of attempting to exclude me from
274:
Ryan, I believe that you may have yourself acted inappropriately above, by explicitly rephrasing the "indications of support" which was the phrase I used to the more perjorative "vote" for your own purposes. Personally, I can and do take that willfull misstatement of yours for what are apparently
3407:
I'm sorry if you or anyone else don't appreciate the comment, but I hope it's clear that what I wrote wasn't directed at - or meant to represent - any specific individuals. We're all able to be held accountable for our own behavior and Sd asked my opinion as to whether to perform the edit - so I
2080:
Please note that I indicated that the more extreme measures I proposed were only intended to be used in the event there was a pre-existing appearance of unusual response. It does not violate good faith to wonder why, for instance, a number of Nazi symphathazisers and/or Jewish sympathizers would
2013:
We should identify solutions aimed at those interested in resolving this ongoing issue amicably, within due WP process. In my view, to ensure dispassion it should remain a straightforward question of whether to place the image on the welcome template, given WP policy regarding images, templates,
1438:
if need be, although that is always a tricky proposition. A minor suggestion: perhaps we can reword the message as "If you find the use of the Hindu Swastika offensive please click here" or "If you have views on the using the Hindu Swastika on this template, please click here" ... still too long
752:
I agree. I would note to both sides, though, that statements in the vein of "we should stop the personal attacks that the other side is making" are in themselves likely to lead to further discussion about the people rather than the content. (Like this comment, I guess. Oh well - that's not my
389:
Alternately, we could discuss IN GOOD FAITH the wisdom of using of a controversial, optional symbol on a welcome template - a template that is generally placed on a user's page without their foreknowledge. But that would require us to avoid attacking other editors, marginalizing their views and
324:
Personally, I would have no objections whatever. However, I am not the one who raised the question again. It seems to me that given the rather limited time since it was first proposed, it might be possible that several interested parties may have not yet weighed in. The first response above was
2788:
that everybody knows about the use of Swastikas in Dharmic religions. Do you think that anyone who knows about Hitler's swastika automatically knows about its good uses. And sometimes their design become quite close to each other. The Dharmic Swastiks can face anti-clock or clockwise. Neo-Nazi
1917:
I would add one possible caveat. It seems to me at least very possible that there might be a disproportionate number of people expressing an opinion there who do so simply to express a general rejection of the swastika in all of its forms on the basis of it being tied to the Nazi holocaust. In
1614:
To expand upon my earlier comment: a person should be free to write an essay on the topic, if he/she so wishes; comment on all sides of the issue; even amend their own post if their mind changes; the only restriction being that they do so in their "own section" and not in the form of alternate
1303:
That's a very interesting proposal - I like it, but it seems somewhat unprecedented. Just for the sake of completeness, should we not run this idea by some other forum or forums (administrator's noticeboard, etc.), for feedback and to make sure we're not all collectively missing another avenue
3275:
While I favor boldness in almost every instance, you need to be aware that the issue has been contentious and some editors have engaged in some pretty appalling behavior regarding this issue. Before you make the edit, be prepared to be serially reverted and perhaps even attacked as a 'Jew', a
2102:
If that was addressed to me, my apologies. I was only trying to point out some of the more extreme, possibly objectionable possibilities, not implying that those "positions" I referred to were not potentially held by a significant number, possibly even the majority, of others as well. And I
2041:
There is some transparency in this proposal - we can look to see if someone who posted comments on the proposed comment page actually received the template on their talk page, and in what context. However, this great idea will depend on trust between those who are adherents of the different
813:
It has been proposed that the swastika symbol be removed from the welcome template. In an attempt to determine consensus, the question has been asked whether the template should have the swastika symbol removed or not. To date, the following responses have been received. The comments on the

Would anyone favor making an addition to the project banner to call the attention of interested editors to this discussion? I could add a secondary notice "banner" to the page, and then remove it again at the end of the discussion, to call interested parties' attention to the discussion.
554:
The fact that those comments were made on a page which has since been archived does not free you from the requirement in civil conversation to respond to them, at least inherently. On that basis, I would request that you respond to them on that page, and provide a summary of them
2194:, a name he mistakenly (I think) gave the Indo-Europeans. Unfortunately, in the Western world, many people are apparently unaware of the prior history of the swastika, while some others are aware but have difficulties with it anyway, and that is what provoked this discussion. 536:
I would note that the fact that the discussion was archived only a few hours ago does not free you from having to possibly respond to them, particularly if they are valid points which would seem to mitigate the strength or validity of several of your own statements. However,
3383:. A swastika could be put in on the left of the header, so the new style can be completely unrelated to the swastika discussion which is still undergoing RFC. The red Aum is better than the black Aum. By the way Ryan, I don't think many appreciate the comment you made about 1518:
That sounds good to me. Also I suggest that we leave a message on the feedback link asking visitors to express their own thoughts in one place, but not debate/counter-debate other visitor's points - so that it does not turn into a big back-and-forth like this discussion.
371:
Given the choice, I would give the matter the full five days that are generally accorded other attempts at determining consensus. Also, I would probably go further to perhaps determine if any people who indicate an interest one way or another were drawn here by attempts at
666:"As far as my preferred method of resolving this, it would be exactly what I have said all along - to continue discussion about the use of a controversial symbol on a welcome template, without distracting personal attacks and without discussion-derailing 'non-vote-polls'." 2327:
I had the honour of being first to comment on the project page. That you are even bickering over this astonishes me. Unfortunately, the swastika is widely recognised as a symbol of great evil and not widely at all recognised as a holy symbol of Hinduism. It is
155:
Amen. Stop the polls. Bill, if I'm not mistaken you yourself said they were a 'tally', not a 'vote', to avoid perceived confusion by some. The unofficial, non-deterministic excuse you offered was the only reason I even responded to it in the first place. --

offer their input as well. That is why I proposed that it be allowed to continue for five days, which is the standard time period to determine AfDs. I hope that this is agreeable to everyone. However, if consensus opposes it, I would withdraw the request.
3469:
Needless to say, I would consider this version a minor improvement at best. It's not a resolution of the open issue given the '2nd problem' Sd sought to solve. Obviously, I recommend going back to the version Sd posted that addressed all 4 'problems'. --
583:
I recommend you or D-Boy restore the sections with active conversations (which imho should not have been archived at all to avoid precisely this problem), to which I have not responded. I will be more than happy to respond to them if they're clear to

You'll notice I actually avoided that question directly earlier, partially because I have no idea how or who should do that.Ā :) The only thing I can consider is that we check to see if any illegal canvassing was done. If someone responds on the

I have listed some of what I think might be the questions to be asked in the RfC below. Please feel free to add to them and/or revise them, remembering we don't want it to be too long of a list. I know the phrasing will need work, by the way.
1337:
I like the idea, not sure about the length of time. It might be too short since we may not get enough feedback. Then again, it could be too long for those who don't like having the notice. Btw, this is only for Template:Hindu links right?
1944:
Point taken, and I acknowledge I hadn't thought of the anti-Zionism angle. I do think that just listing it on RfC, and, maybe, checking to see if any additional links to the discussion are added on any pages for the purposes of improper
2058:
Yes there are a few problems. I'm not sure whether both sides of the debate should answer as we already know the Hindu side would be something like "it's a religious symbol, respect that" or something which we have already said above.
1304:
besides this 'one-month-chillout+survey' idea? Just asking and I'm not sure what that forum would be - but as much as I like the idea I find it hard to believe that we're that much of an unprecedented situation. Excellent proposal. --

TO be honest...I like it. And I was in support of keeping the Swastika as it seemed like censoring to remove it from the original. But this is short and to the point, we should remember this is a welcome template. It shouldn't be

My apologies for that, although I believe few Hindus would feel offence at the Swastika, the use of "Hindu side" was wrong as their views on this topic varies and non-Hindus often support the idea of keeping the Swastika.

Request that editors avoid referring to the positions here as "the Hindu side" and the like. Even if all Hindus held the same position on this matter, (they don't), religious association shouldn't be a consideration.
