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

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)

Namaskar, thank you once again for your reply and you suggestion. I want to inform you what you have suggested, exactly the same is being done. I am suggesting new parameters only when I am feeling its necessity, as you are aware I am working in infobox section (for Prabhat Samgita, I needed "period", for "Parama Purusa", I needed "In other languages)". Yesterday,I copyedited that section and removed signatures after each entry to keep things clean.
Please note, if we keep changing parameters after adding the infobox in many articles, that will add more tasks to copyedit the existing usages. Regards. --Tito☸Dutta 06:45, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Infobox project

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)

"SV:SVProject infoboxes" seems like overkill. What would be the problem with "SV:Project infoboxes" or "SVproject:Infoboxes"? As for "WikiProject" sounding like a Wikipedia title, I don't have an issue with that. Sarkarverse is a wikipedia, and its software is wiki software. We have a whole area of Sarkarverse that is prefixed with "MediaWiki". So I don't think that any confusion arises with an area called "WikiProject". But if you feel otherwise, then use "SVproject" or "SV:Project ". --Abhidevananda (talk) 06:46, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Namaskar, Acarya Ji, thanks once again for your reply. Let me directly tell you right now, I am more and mainly interested to host the "Infobox project". I am giving you few rationales: I am seeing a) we already have Infobox book, which is a duplicate of Infobox Literary works. b) we have infobox website, I am not sure about its position, should it be "organization". That may need a discussion (please do not delete these templates now, as these may break few articles, I am tracking these. Don't answer these questions here too, as there are many more such questions, we'll discuss all later), there are moer such queries and discussions. Of course we may discuss here, but, I feel it would be better if we start the infobox project, as infobox has become a task of high priority. And for that I need to know where actually should I start this work. --Tito☸Dutta 06:55, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
