@BhargavRao in case of you are referring to my edits then changing tone from 1st person to 3rd person is valid. The Qn becomes on-topic as the specific custom of circumcision is ancient.

@TheDestroyer @NogShine that Qn was abusive. I agree. But also to note that advertising agenda (political or business) can also be a spam. However "abusive" suits better in this case.

Status-Planned: Moderator Election on Beta!

Parenting is about to have the first ever pro tempore election. If it goes well, we'll finally be able to start completing this request. — Jon Ericson ♦ 3 hours ago

Bhargav Rao

@iammilind I don't have any issue with your edit to the body, it was correct. However, the title shouldn't have been changed in that manner, "Can a Hindu get circumcised for medical reasons?" would have been apt there. I'm more concerned about the edit by sv, though.

iammilind

01:11

@BhargavRao I changed title for future duplicates as it looks more generalised. For example if someone will ask in future, "How was circumcision viewed during ancient times?" then a generalised title will cater as duplicate.

Btw original Qn was already present as last line. So it served the intent IMO

Bhargav Rao

Nopes, the original question was clear that they wanted to know if they could get a circumcision. Hinduism's view on circumcision would be a broader question, and only slightly related to this.

I understand that you wanted to make it more discoverable to potential duplicates, but in that process, you made the title ask a bit different question than the body.

@iammilind He is talking about sv edit. His edit changed the question drastically.

Q: Did Lord Rama win as a king but fail as a husband? Why or why not?

Rama was full of different aspects of his life, such as son, friend, brother, king but I feel that he has spread like a husband because who left his pregnant wife after listening to a washer man though his wife always stood by his side like a shadow.

@NogShine yeah, that's true as well.

Nog Shine

@BhargavRao I called for the mods but I don't expect a positive response from them.

Bhargav Rao

Let's see.

Nog Shine

In the past, they have responded and rolled back such edit. Their version is also overridden. Editor said let's wait for the OP. OP didn't change his question. You remember that question. Don't you?

Why to modify a question into on-topic when the question is not what OP wanted to ask? How is it helpful when the new question is not helpful to the OP?

Bhargav Rao

Yeah, true. I do remember when that rollback was done.

Nog Shine

OP retained his original version. :D

Bhargav Rao

If it were me, I'd roll it back to iammilind's edit and change the title back to the original one, with a few minor grammar edits.

Nog Shine

08:08

@BhargavRao I would do the same. The question became on-topic after iammilind's edit. No further edit was required.

But I don't want an edit war.

if mods decline, I will do that.

Hinduism Stack Exchange is a part of SE network after all. It is bound to help center.

Bhargav Rao

Yeah, let's wait for their decision.

ISNCON has more or less denied being Hindus. They claim to use some Hindu scriptures but their translations are sometimes different from translations by established Hindu sources. It degrades the quality of this site when people cite ISKCON versions of Bhagavatam and so forth.
