Assessment drive

We need to start assessment drive. My hands are full at this moment. Someone else should be the co-ordinator. --Tito☸Dutta 15:51, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Kolkata name and spelling

Three different names and spellings of Kolkata have been used in P. R. Sarkar's works (mentioning places)— Calcutta (old city name), Kolkata (current name), Kalikata (Roman Sanskrit). We may use anyone, "Kolkata" preferably? --Tito☸Dutta 03:13, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

I prefer Kolkata. Kalikata would be confusing, and Calcutta is not current. --Abhidevananda (talk) 06:13, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

• So do I. --Tito☸Dutta 06:17, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Infobox problem

Please move it to Project:Infobox after creating it.

There has been a confusion:
If articles like Parama Purusa, Aeshvarya, Relationship with Parama Purusa, Tandava, Yatamana, Yoga, Tantra and all other concepts go under "Literary" then Template:Infobox Literary Works should be used. The problem is, however, it actually based on book, and does not match a single parameter with these articles. We, therefore, may require a child infobox— Template:Infobox Literary concepts. or something so. --Tito☸Dutta 07:27, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Those are not literary. How could a dance or yoga or tantra or an occult power... much less Parama Purusa... be literary? They are non-literary works that also happen to be mentioned in various books. This is the very reason why Prabhat Samgiita is classified as a non-literary work, that is, it transcends the literary field. --Abhidevananda (talk) 07:34, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

• Nonliterary work has these parameters. --Tito☸Dutta 07:57, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

I don't understand your point. Items that are not people or foundations and cannot be pigeonholed as literary are classified as non-literary (even when there is a literary component). --Abhidevananda (talk) 06:20, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

• Namaskar, thank you for your reply. I mean "Nonliterary" infobox has these/required parameters already, so there should not be any confusion. BTW, you may see this discussion, where new parameters have been proposed: Template_talk:Infobox_Nonliterary_Works#More_parameter_suggestion --Tito☸Dutta 06:25, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Okay, that sounds good. Regarding proposed additional parameters, I'd rather add parameters as the need for them is felt, rather than spending much time speculating on what might be required. It is easy enough to add a parameter or two, and I don't mind if there is a little bit of inconsistency in respect to how much information is presented in infoboxes for similar topics. --Abhidevananda (talk) 06:38, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Infobox project

Please move it to Project:Infobox after creating it.

We need to start infobox project which will be different from SV:P. In Wikipedia it is called WikiProject, see wikipedia:Wikipedia:WikiProject Infoboxes..

• We may try SVProject, but that will duplicate SV in shortcut, or call it "Project" only.
• We may create a separate project space Project:

--Tito☸Dutta 07:15, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

I don't understand the issue. What's wrong with SVProject or WikiProject? --Abhidevananda (talk) 06:15, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

• Namaskar, thank you for your reply. SVProject might be okay, but so far we are using SV for shortcut. Let's see how it sounds Sarkarverse:SVProject infoboxes. WikiProject sounds like a Wikipedia-based title. Regards. --Tito☸Dutta 06:20, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
