Some articles

How are we gong to handle articles like Bhagavad Giita, Tantra, Veda, Upanishad? Should we have these articles in Sarkarverse with Shrii Sarkar and AM's views and commentaries on it and after that it can be written "for more details, please see this Wikipedia article? TitoDutta 03:00, 16 June 2014 (MDT)

  • We'll have our own articles. I'm sure that Baba has said more on these subjects than what you would find on Wikipedia. So we definitely would not have anything like a link to WP with "For more details". I think that once we have a few articles like this, the path forward will become clear. --Abhidevananda (talk) 04:00, 16 June 2014 (MDT)

Android

i am using this website using android device. But i feel it will be excellent if we get an android app like wikipedia.--TitoDutta 21:07, 20 June 2014 (MDT)

Archive.is

Archive.is URLs were banned from Wikipedia with an accusation that owners are using bots to flood Wikipedia with their links. Many people including me, think this is an excellent site. Should we use that at Sarkarverse? --TitoDutta 01:12, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

I have no idea on this. But if there is a chance that it will flood Sarkarverse with links, I would lean toward No. --Abhidevananda (talk) 05:08, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
  • No, they will not target a small project.Wikipedia is a different thing.The allegation was not proved too. --TitoDutta 05:37, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

Uci, Nici redirect

There has been some confusions over having uci and nici redirects.I have been keeping these redirects. For example, this redirct. So far, according to our consensus, articles titles will not have uci, nici, but article body may contain special characters, and if a title with uci/nici/special characters is linked in article body, a redirect will be required. In addition, please check "what links here" before deleting redirects/any page as it breaks many links. TitoDutta 05:43, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

  • I have got some more information— 10,000 redirects will take less than 2.5 MB space. So the space redirects take is almost negotiable. TitoDutta 12:43, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
It's less about size than just clutter in our search engine. When a user starts searching and sees two or three similarly titled articles, one after another, it can be confusing. Even if it's not confusing, it's pointless. --Abhidevananda (talk) 12:58, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
How to link?

This is becoming more confusing. Example: I am unsure how to link "Nirguna bhakti" in the second line of the "Description" section here. If I link general Roman text, it becomes inconsistent with other Roman Sanskrit inclusions in article body (as we are allowing Roman Sanskrit in article body, and if I link Roman Sanskrit Nirguńa bhakti, it'll require a redirect. TitoDutta 10:03, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, but I don't understand the issue. I can link nirguńa bhakti without a redirect (other than what is usual when the words that are linked don't match the article title. --Abhidevananda (talk) 07:15, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

Color scheme

We need to plan color sceheme of the headers of the Main page, as we have in Bn:Main page --TitoDutta 14:34, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Our main page has a color scheme. It is a simple color scheme. Personally, I prefer a simple color scheme (less colors or one color rather than more colors). But that is a personal matter. Some persons obviously prefer many colors. --Abhidevananda (talk) 04:49, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
  • what's about RYBG (red yellow blue green) colour scheme or something different? --TitoDutta 20:43, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
  • Personally, I prefer a single color. But do what you like. --Abhidevananda (talk) 01:51, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Motto

Atma moksartham jagat hitaya ca is the motto of Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha and few other organizations as well.I propose to make it the "motto" of Sarkarverse as well. --TitoDutta 16:36, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

We already have a description ("The wikipedia of all things Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar"). What additional benefit would Sarkarverse derive from a separate "motto", and where would it appear? And, even if a motto were to offer some concrete benefit in respect to Sarkarverse, it might be deemed presumptuous (if not confusing) for us to assign to Sarkarverse the same motto as that of AMPS. --Abhidevananda (talk) 04:54, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
  • I was not talking about "tagline", I was talking about a separate page Sarkarverse:Motto to clarify the project's aspects and objectives. --TitoDutta 20:42, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
  • I understood that. But I think the tagline adequately defines the projects aspects and objectives. The purpose of Sarkarverse is to present a wikipedia of all things Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar. And if anyone wants or requires amplification about the Sarkarverse mission, they can go to the About page. --Abhidevananda (talk) 02:05, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
  • If you do not have strict objection, I once again request to make it this our motto. This Sanskrit line perfectly expresses our mission and goal. When we work for Sarkarverse, we have two-fold missions (at least I DEFINITELY have this): a) our own spiritual elevation and b) create the BEST site on Shrii Sarkar's works, that anyone can read and utilize for free.
    It does not demand much. All it needs is just a page like Sarkarverse:Motto where we'll mention it with other details. I am not asking to place it on the Main Page or anywhere else. --TitoDutta 01:45, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
The purpose of Sarkarverse is summed up in "the wikipedia of all things Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar". Our goal is not "liberation of self". We do not offer the sufficient tools for that. We perform a very specific educational service. And that service is subsumed within the mission of our legal sponsor, AmRevolution, Inc. - "to propagate the progressive ideas of Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar through various media, including an on-line encyclopedia, books, films, seminars, and the like". So, yes, I do object. Adoption of a motto like that of Ananda Marga would be both presumptuous and misleading. On top of that, I still question our need for any motto at all. --Abhidevananda (talk) 05:51, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
