Gandhi's works

Hi, Since The Poet and the Wheel wasn't published independently, it should be a subpage of Young India, Viking Press, 1924-1926. So the table of content for that book is needed. Thanks for your contributions. Yann (talk) 10:22, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Please wait until the pages are transcribed

Please do not create pages like The Calcutta Review, 3rd Series/Volume 16/Evolution of Sanskrit Drama until the pages are transcribed and ready to be transcluded. Creations such of these add no value, and when left like this are just ugly and misleading to people and search engines. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 11:53, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your help on the Mahabharata

It seems you're one of the first people to independently visit and assist me with the Mahabharata transcription project! Consider me motivated to press on, and whether or not you continue to make edits, I appreciate the help. — SpikeShroom (talk) 22:21, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

You are welcome :-). I would suggest you look at the Project Gutenberg version of the Mahabharata (https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/15474) Anindya (talk) 09:16, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

Help:Wikilinks

Hi. I am looking at The Calcutta Review, 3rd Series/Volume 16/Calcutta University and its Critics and I believe that it is overlinked for our site. Institutions and the like are readily searchable are not things that we typically link; author links should be local wherever possible, and we also encourage the use of {tl|wikidata link}} if there is the chance that a local link will ever eventuate. I would also note that wariness should be used in adding links for what we think maybe the intended target of a comment or reference to another work. I would also not be expecting to see something like [[red link|some text]] in proofread page; these should be removed. Thanks — billinghurst sDrewth 21:31, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

The Calcutta Review Vol. II (Oct.-Dec. 1844)/State of Indigenous Education in Bengal and Behar/

This page, with no actual content, looks unwanted and can be speedy deleted as redundant. Am I right ? It seems to have an excess / at the end of the page name. -- Beardo (talk) 22:04, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Right! It was created by mistake. Thanks in advance. Sutradhar links (talk) 04:39, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Adam's Reports on Vernacular Education in Bengal and Behar, Submitted to Government in 1835, 1836 and 1838.

Regarding the two pages which you blanked, it is better to include the template sdelete on such pages - that puts them into a category that the administrators can check and act upon. Just mentioning in the edit description won't necessarily be noticed. -- Beardo (talk) 03:58, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Didn't know about 'sdelete'; thanks for the heads-up. Sutradhar links (talk) 10:59, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

The Calcutta Review/Volume 2/Number 4/Article 1

Hello. The page cannot be deleted until there are some pages linking to it. Can you fix the links, please? -- Jan Kameníček (talk) 10:26, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

I fixed the remaining links and deleted the page. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 14:10, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. Was going to fix the remaining ones eventually, but I suppose got a bit lazy about it. Sutradhar links (talk) 09:39, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Redlinks

Hello again. May I just ask what you mean by the redlinks like [[redlink|reflection]], see e.g. here? -- Jan Kameníček (talk) 14:13, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

'Redlinks' are added to highlight the possibility of linking quotes to their sources (e.g. in the above cited case, connect 'reflection' to Pythagoras' statement "“He that knoweth not ..."). Perhaps it's a bit overzealous / pre-mature to *not* wait till such a piece of text (attributed to Pythogoras) actually appears on Wikisource, but this is my way of requesting a "feature" to anyone viewing it. Not sure about the official policy on this. Sutradhar links (talk) 10:57, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

I see, and I understand your point, but it is not our practise to create such "blind" and quite distracting red links. I suggest their removal. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 11:00, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Narrative of a Journey Through the Upper Provinces of India: From Calcutta to Bombay, 1824-1825, (with Notes Upon Ceylon,) an Account of a Journey to Madras and the Southern Provinces, 1826, and Letters Written in India

Hello. The linked work is really tremendous and it would be awesome to have it here. However, at the moment it looks quite abandoned and our practice is not to have such abandoned works in the mainspace. Would you mind if I deleted it until some really significant part (preferably at least one volume) is proofread? I do not want to discourage you from the work and so I am asking. -- Jan Kameníček (talk) 18:41, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
