  1. See User_talk:Dr._Blofeld#Copyedit_Ananda_Marga
  2. Do you have a Ramakrishna Mission bookstore and a digital camera near your area? --Tito Dutta (talk) 05:47, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
I have replied to your comment at User talk:Dr. Blofeld#Copyedit Ananda Marga. No I don't have a Ramakrishna Mission bookstore near my area. What do you need? I can be resourceful. Correct Knowledge«৳alk» 06:03, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
Yesterday I have started this article Bibliography of Swami Vivekananda, I want an image like this Bibliography_of_Che_Guevara#Books --Tito Dutta (talk) 06:12, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
I have uploaded the image twice with some tweaks in the second upload, hope in the article it'll not be a big issue until we get a better image. Please see if you find/suggest a DYK hook in the article Bibliography of Swami Vivekananda --Tito Dutta (talk) 07:17, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
I am not sure about the number, but we can go for it or we can think some better hook. That ref is already added, this can be added too, but it seems to be a mirror. --Tito Dutta (talk) 07:51, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
Did Swami Vivekananda Give Up Hinduism? is one of the several many books written on Swami Vivekananda? sound perfect! Can you go ahead and nominate? If they ask for more sources (since there are only 2 at this moment), tell them ISBN is linked for most of those books which serve as sources too (clicking on those links give book details, publishers, years) etc! BTW, you can choose another bok as example! --Tito Dutta (talk) 08:11, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
DYK looks great, though you can change the example book to a more notable one (make sure the book should not have a Wikilink, so that we don't need to link it. --Tito Dutta (talk) 09:02, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the recognition for the work in Tripura. I hope to place it in FA candidacy sometime soon, but not sure exactly when. There are many real life commitments, and also multiple plans for wikipedia articles ( such as FACs on Independence Day, Mother India, eventually Kahaani; some GA reviews). It's all messed up.--Dwaipayan (talk) 04:36, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Khandana Bhava–Bandhana

Please have a look at this article! Do you think it might be DYK ready with the hook Did you know Khandana Bhava–Bandhana the Hindu prayer song was composed by Swami Vivekananda. That hook has a book source and Gujarat Government source in support --Tito Dutta (talk) 23:25, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

I was too fast here it seems after not getting your reply after seeing you are editing those Ananda Marga articles, BTW, I have reverted my transclusion and you can work on it. And usual, I give you full 7 out of 7 days to work on. We might have another interesting DYK opportunity ahead (no, not Vivekananda, new one). Please comment on Swami Vivekananda 1893 Parliament article, can you slightly expand the "Impact" and "Paper on Hinuism" sections so that we can take it forward for DYK for now (later it will need expansion, newspaper coverages, criticism, response in India etc)! --Tito Dutta (talk) 07:27, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

yoga

What is your objection to a classification scheme employed by the foremost authority on yoga in the English speaking world? 81.106.127.14 (talk) 08:32, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

I have no objection. Just don't place it in the lead. Lead of an article has to summarize and introduce the topic. Lists are completely inappropriate there. Besides, you'll notice all the yogas you mentioned are covered in the body of the article, in a chronological order. You can add your content there if you want or in Hindu philosophy#Yoga. It's up to you.

Hi Correct, I put back the edit by the IP (above), and restored the blanked info in the edit before it. I am no expert on the subject of yoga, but reading your response to the IP, I can understand your reasoning. I won't touch the page further. If the info was good, maybe you could move it to the appropriate section, instead of deleting it. Thanks, Hamamelis (talk) 08:48, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Ya, good idea, go ahead, also mention the date, 150th birth celebration importance (that event was so important that they made a special world conference in 2012 to commemorate Swami Vivekananda's birth anniversary (see in official website). --Tito Dutta (talk) 12:22, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Swami Vivekananda FA

  • Talkback mesage: Dwaipayan

Yes, go ahead and nominate that DYK. Can we please make Swami Vivekananda article a featured article on 12 January? There are 1-2 citation need tags. Simple ones, you can find citation in simple Google Book search, can you please add those citations. Some copyedits are to be done to avoid close paraphrasing issue which was an issue of GA. Any suggestion? --Tito Dutta (talk) 08:21, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

BTW, that is Vivekananda's 150th birth anniversary! --Tito Dutta (talk) 08:23, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
FARs take time. Independence Day (India) was operating on a very similar time frame and yet no significant comments had poured into the FAR before 15th August. Let's wait and see what other editors have to say about the idea here. The three of us can always try, but if most editors at WT:IN are negative, we'd be better off with trying for a series of DYKs around that date. Correct Knowledge«৳alk» 09:19, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
I do not have much hope from others (as I am growing older I am getting more pessimistic on it). No one helps each other (not only here (though Wikipedia is relatively better, everywhere). Or human instinct? Name, fame, popularity, praises! Read Vivekananda's frog story. I'll be busy with this article Swami Vivekananda at the Parliament of the World's Religions (1893) (though I'll check FA related comments too). Read here The Parliament commemorated Swamiji's arrival. Anyway, it might be a good DYK candidate. I'll add newspaper coverages, aftermaths or commemorations later, but, after making the basic structure. Feel free to edit the articles or you handle one or two subsections for now, that'll be excellent! You can take the baton to nominate for DYK. --Tito Dutta (talk) 09:38, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
12 Jan is a very unlikely. The citation needed or such maintenance tags are easy to address. Main problem remains the close paraphrasing. If that can be dealt with, the article can straight be nominated for FA. --Dwaipayan (talk) 16:01, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Hey, don't expand Teaching section, the main article is already linked. you can rewrite those 4 points mentioned there and in the main article Teachings and philosophy of Swami Vivekananda, please expand the "Mind" section! I'll see that teaming up later, or is it urgent? --Tito Dutta (talk) 08:51, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are produced. Arise, awake and stop not till the goal is reached. --Tito Dutta (talk) 09:45, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

India DNA

Sorry but I really do not have the time needed for this type of discussion. My advice is to take your time on the talk page and go one by one through the individual changes you want, showing them to everyone before you do them, and asking for feedback. Please also show that you are genuinely reading the feedback and trying to take into account. Slowing things down and being a bit more polite than you might think should be necessary is often a good way to avoid the types of problems this article has. It can be tedious, but it often works.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 14:30, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your excellent input on the Talk page of the Ayurveda article. I'm glad you were able to finally explain why the proposed material was problematic and that you pointed the editor in a positive direction. TimidGuy (talk) 15:44, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

And thanks for the barnstar. : ) The editor has now added information to the Ayurveda article dating the Rig Veda to 10,000 years ago.

TimidGuy (talk) 12:11, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the note. Now that ItsMeJudith has commented, I think the consensus is pretty clearly against the source. No one has supported it, and four editors have said it's noncompliant. TimidGuy (talk) 15:52, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Vedic Period

Hi ! I would like to know a bit more on why Rigveda is timed as 7000 years ago and not 10,000 years ago, which has contributions from Bhrigu Rishi as well, who was a contemporary of Manu and both constituted Manusmriti. Needless to say, Manu, the flood figure had existed at the time of great floods during holocene period 10-12,500 years ago and has wide mentions in Skanda Purana, Manusmriti, Mahabharata, Iranian book AVESTA and many websites. There are many citations from researchers, specially geologists that Saraswati river had flown close to Aravalies on western side along the borders of what was called Brahmavarta state. Palaeochannel maps also confirm the same. The whole dating of Vedas, Manusmriti, Vedic Saraswati river are not proper. New researches show that Mehrgarh in Pakistan had habitations 9500 years ago. They had used copper beads also. One of the main sources of Copper for Harrapan people was Khetri Copper Mines, part of Vedic Brahmavarta state. People had migrated from Brahmavarta state taking with them the Copper technology and regular supplies of Copper at later periods too. So reconsider the whole situation. Sudhirkbhargava (talk) 08:48, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

What you have written above looks like original research based upon primary sources. Do you have any reliable historical sources which say that Rig Veda is 10,000 years old? Let me suggest a popular history textbook by an Indian author: A History of Ancient and Early Medieval India: From the Stone Age to the 12th Century by Upinder Singh. P. 185 contains a succinct analysis of the various theories on the date of Rig Veda. In the concluding paragraph, Singh gives reasons for why very early dates for Rig Veda are impossible. Please read it and if you have reliable sources for earlier dates of Rig Veda, feel free to share them with me. Regards. Correct Knowledge«৳alk» 12:41, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
I have gone through the book. It mentions about Mehergarh's antiquity which is 9500 years old. Regarding Rigveda, it is her opinion. She has not taken in to account the Rishi clans who contributed to Rigveda, their Ashrams, the place of its writing and many other factual details which you consider 'mythology'. I feel that all what is written in Sanskrit books does not fall in the category of mythology. There are many locations which can be identified as per descriptions in sanskrit books. They are scientific evidences. Palaeochannels images, by ISRO, NASA, ARIANA and others now show the route of Vedic Saraswati clearly and lakes on the route. Location of Vedic state of Brahmavarta is unfolding many facts about Vedic Sanskriti. If you can go through page on 'Dhosi Hil', there are some references on antiquity of Vedic period. Let me get some more facts, before I communicate with you again.
Sudhirkbhargava (talk) 14:17, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
Take your time. There is no deadline anyway. Correct Knowledge«৳alk» 08:46, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
One of the references of antiquity of 'Vedic age' or 'Vedic period' which is 10.000-8000 B.P., can be found in a research paper you can find on Scribe also, is by ISRO scientists J.R.Sharma and B.K.Bhadra, Depatt. of Space (GOI),CAZRI Campus, Jodhpur-342003. In an International Conference (Nov.20-22, 2009) at Kurukshetra University on the topic, "Sarasvati River-a perspective", the researchers while discussing Saraswati river palaeochannels talk about its antiquity of Vedic age as 10,000-8,000 BP.
in the same conference, I, Sudhir Bhargava also presented a paper 'Location of Brahmvrat and Drishadwati River is important to find earliest alignment of Saraswati river" As mentioned above, my researches on Brahmavarta state confirm stoutly that Vedic Sanskriti is that old. Flood period I talked above was beginning of holocene period, 10,000 years ago when Vedic Rishis Manu and Bhrigu existed and contributed to many Vedic scriptures. Floods are mentioned in Matsayapurana, Skandpurana, Manusmriti, Shathapatha Brahmna, Mahabharta. What surprises me is the logic given by contributors on wikipedia dating Vedic Sanskriti 1700-1100 BCE. There is no basis at all of this dating on various pages and needs change. Also the Granths mentioned above may not be 100 % true, because they were carried verbly for a long time, but now scientific analysis confirm that many things are true and every thing does not fall under mythology.
Sudhirkbhargava (talk) 15:55, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
I found the organizer's invitation and the compilation of contributions to the conference. While the conference has a member each from the ISRO, ASI, GSI, the compilation doesn't appear to be an academic, peer-reviewed publication. WP:REDFLAG suggests— Any exceptional claim requires multiple high-quality sources. Since the claim you are making contradicts the scholarly opinion presented in most modern tertiary references (that Vedic period came after the Indus Valley Civilization), it requires better sources. I found another paper by B. K. Bhadra and J. R. Sharma here. The claims in this paper are that Vedic Saraswati originated between 6000–3000 BCE. However, this paper has been blasted by K. K. Sharma (here) as a passionately written print media news article rather than a scientific reporting [sic]. Basically, to make a case for earlier dates of Rig Veda, we need multiple sources which have been vetted by the scholarly community and are regarded as reliable.

I have supported your semi–protection request. Looks like the IPs are at it again. It's hopeless. Correct Knowledge«৳alk» 17:09, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
Their edit is slightly better this time. Revert all, we have a good point in hand, see my posts here! --Tito Dutta (talk) 17:14, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Do you have any planning to join the course? I can be your trainer. Though I don't think it'll take a long time to finish the course! --Tito Dutta (talk) 17:25, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Yes this course could be useful. I'll ask you in another week or so when I have more free time to learn and practice new skills on WP. Correct Knowledge«৳alk» 17:29, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
Please note per this request I have added the rollback flag to your account (as seen in this log). If you have any questions find me on my talk page! ·Add§hore· Talk To Me! 23:58, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the rollback. I am still getting used to it. Correct Knowledge«৳alk» 01:38, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
Excellent! Few points to remember:
Rollback should be used for clear case of vandalism, don't use rollback in edit warring, content dispute
Don't use Rollback as your computer/internet is slow and Twinkle is not loading.
Don't use rollback (better don't use Wikipedia, specially the watchlist) when you are using software like "Autoclicker" or "Random clicker"
(my personal suggestion) Don't use rollback from watchlist. There is a script I used to hide all rollback links from watchlist.
Rollback reverts vandalism, does not find it. If you need some vandal edits to test rollback, use tool like Huggle or STiki to find disruptive edits.
Last (again), don't use rollback in edit warring! --Tito Dutta (talk) 03:41, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
And I saw Wikipedia's own rollback etc testing page somewhere. I forgot the exact page, but, I think you can find that! --Tito Dutta (talk) 03:52, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
  • Go here, copy paste this code:
.mw-special-Watchlist .mw-rollback-link {
    display: none;
}

Save changes! --Tito Dutta (talk) 03:37, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ramanandi Sampradaya, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ram (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Requesting third opinion on Brahman

Hi CorrectKnowledge. Could you please give your opinion on the lead of Brahman? Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 05:07, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

When secondary sources contradict each other, like in this case (assuming Radhakrishnan and Flood differ from others), tertiary sources can be helpful. On a cursory glance of Britannica, Merriam-Webster's Encyclopedia of World Religions, Encyclopedia of World Religions and Encyclopedia of Hinduism your version of the lead seems more appropriate (and none of them use the word "spirit"). It looks like the edit war has been resolved. However, if a detailed comment from me is still required let me know. Regards. Correct Knowledge«৳alk» 22:46, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi CorrectKnowledge. Thanks for responding. Things were becoming quite nasty the past few days; but it also turned out (again) that it's good that Wikipedia is a co-project, in which editors monitor each other. I'll copy your response to the Brahman-talkpage, as a reference for other interested readers. Greetings, Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 05:53, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Ratha Kalpana

Hi! Please help on the article Rathakalpana. The topic is mentioned in Kathopanishad and Bhagavat Gita, but i think it has more scope as an independent article. There are many modern theories based on this, along with our ancient concepts on yogasuthras and mind-body co-ordinations. Please help finding sources and developing the topic. bc-ndra (talk) 06:22, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

I have done what I can. Some sentences of the background section could be original research. If so, you might have to rewrite those parts from reliable sources. Overall I think this article has potential to feature as a DYK. Correct Knowledge«৳alk» 22:32, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks!!! Expect such helps in future too. bc-ndra (talk) 07:07, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for this . I have taken it to my talk page now--sarvajna (talk) 06:32, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Actually, I had dropped by your talk page to let you know you had run into socks in the articles on Charminar/Bhagyalakshmi temple. I dropped the idea when I saw that you were involved in an ongoing discussion related to these articles on your talk page. If you are curious just check the usage of the word "Vendalism" (note the spelling and capitalization) in the edit summaries of both articles. There are other similarities as well. It's quacking pretty loud to me, up to you to file an SPI. Correct Knowledge«৳alk» 14:03, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
Yes I had guessed that even I had seen the spelling of Vendalism. Hoodedemperor and BareDevil looks like the same person. However I did not had the energy/time to file a SPI. Is there an ongoing SPI? --sarvajna (talk) 15:26, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
Not that I'm aware of. I don't see the editor disrupting much outside the two articles, but filing an SPI might be sensible if the editor tries to bait you into a 3RR or WP:EW violation. As I said, it's up to you. Correct Knowledge«৳alk» 16:22, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello

Hi CK, how are you? Remember me  ?

We have not interacted in a long time. I am here to tell you that I saw you comments here and very much appreciated your input. Now as it seems it has reached a deadlock and needs to be wrapped up. Since you were involved in the discussion already, would you like to put forth your opinion clearly for the final time here? and if you can please also speak your mind here. Thanks a lot. ——Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 16:06, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

It's nice to hear from you after a long time. I notice your edit count has gone up from 4000 to 17000 and you've gone from Mrt to Mr. T.   Well Mr. T anything else I can help you with? Correct Knowledge«৳alk» 22:54, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Amrutanubhav

Hi. The line after Amrutanubhav at the Dnyaneshwar refers to Amrutanubhav, so when this work is removed, the following (sub)section has to be edited too. Greetings, Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 21:55, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Yes, that was a mistake. I was in a hurry to remove all unsourced content before I started working on this. I am planning to work on this article over the next few days. Correct Knowledge«৳alk» 22:00, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
Never mind. I thought I would let you do your work, instead of messing-up with the follow-up sentences. Undoing was the easiest step to take. Greetings, Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 22:03, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Hinduism

I had added Manusmriti among the list of major scriptures of Hinduism on that page which you deleted. Cuold you tell me why ? Is Manusmriti not a scripture of Hinduism ? Sudhirkbhargava (talk) 10:11, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Other than the Mahābhārata, Rāmāyaṇa and Bhagavad Gītā (which are obviously important), all the scriptures mentioned in the lead are a collection of works (such as the Upanishads) rather individual books. Please share your reasons for including a single book like Manusmriti in the lead at Talk:Hinduism. If you can reach a consensus for this inclusion, I'll have no further objections. Correct Knowledge«৳alk» 04:53, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Ballot stuffing

I noticed your comments here and here about "ballot stuffing". FYI: I also saw this done here, as well as here by the newer meatpuppet. If WP:BLUDGEON wasn't a big enough issue, now we have WP:GAME to contend with. Location (talk) 21:23, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

The previous SPI was closed with a view to "consider these edits later on if more evidence surfaces that they are working in concert". Maybe it is time to file another SPI regarding this. FWIW, I don't think this is meatpuppetry for reasons I'll give later. It appears to be sockpuppetry using a proxy server or a VPN in both the cases. Correct Knowledge«৳alk» 21:33, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Your call. I don't know or understand the tech aspects of all of this. I'll keep an eye on that, though. Location (talk) 21:39, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
A similar discussion took place at User talk:Dougweller#NB. You should air your views there before we file a report. I'll also try to chip in. Correct Knowledge«৳alk» 21:42, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Done. Location (talk) 00:42, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
Re this issue, I also don't know much about the tecnicalities involved, but his history on his talk page Shrikanthv (see the very first two items) and wayward English spellings under all the different names and in his dealings with his mentor who, it seems, was unwittingly taken for a ride and apprently does not know about what we are discussing (see his talk page: Yunshui (75), are revealing. His German IPO might well tell you more.--Zananiri (talk) 13:42, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
Your analysis is compelling, but I still don't understand why Shrikanthv (if this is him) would try to prevent these articles from being deleted/merged. I have worked with Shrikanth before and he seemed to have a penchant for neutrality (see Talk:Swami Vivekananda#Spirituality). In fact, he nominated two of these articles for deletion, which he had to withdraw later because of the criticism he received about his other nominations. It could be him, or a meatpuppet or a sockpuppet deliberately obfuscating his writing style with typos. We have to be reasonably sure about this before we proceed. Correct Knowledge«৳alk» 16:03, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

I've noticed in the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yogic Treatments and Natural Remedies (2nd nomination) that four accounts (i.e. User:Soroboro, User:Goldenaster, User:Knight of Infinity, and User:Anta An) are all recently created, seem to have the same format of text on their user pages, and seem to have gravitated to the Sarkar Afds. Do you think it is time for a formal investigation? Location (talk) 01:34, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

A formal investigation is already taking place here. You can contribute if you want to. Correct Knowledge«৳alk» 01:54, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
