Talk:Yogi

|
The previous writer was mistaken. A yogi is not a master or necessarily even an advanced practitioner. It's merely someone seriously on the path of yoga...even an ardent beginner.
And since that path is well-delineated in the entry for "yoga", there's no need to recapitulate here.
Sorry to be destructive, but there's no need to espouse on yoga here when we have a nice full entry on it.O. Pen Sauce 06:36, 4 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- Oh ok.. if you say so. I had just hoped that the page would somehow build up from a stub. But it didn't.
- But O. Pen Sauce, your comment in the history says the people in the pump told me redirect makes more sense. I didn't find any discussion about this page in the pump. So what could you be referring to ? Jay 16:51, 4 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- Sorry I deleted it as I thought it had been resolved. Anyway, it's now pasted below. I thought a redirect was better than a single sentence, which is how the article was at the time. It only said "A Yogi is a devotee of any of the branches of Yoga" [1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Yogi&oldid=1670608). That's not even a stub, which is why I thought a redirect was best until a whole page could be written about this. Redirects aren't forever. If someone wanted to make more of a proper article of this then they could edit the page and remove the redirect, but I don't think the page should stay if it's only one sentence.

I've Stumpified But I'm Not Sorry
I just stumpified an entry (the one for "yogi"). But it deserved stumpification (the word is a mere variation of another word which IS fully fleshed out in its own entry). I made a case for my action on the "discuss the page" page. I did NOT add the boilerplate inviting others to fill out the stump. Did I handle this correctly? O. Pen Sauce 06:40, 4 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- Agreed. --Menchi 06:53, 4 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- How do I do it? (sorry, I'm new) O. Pen Sauce 07:02, 4 Nov 2003 (UTC)

- Done, thanksO. Pen Sauce 07:31, 4 Nov 2003 (UTC)
