User:Sengai Podhuvan /Tradition

Hi,

I have moved the added works to your user space, as it is not clear to me that the nature of the work, that it is a published text or what. If this is a verbatim translation of a historic work, then we will needing it to be hosted in the Translation: namespace, and we will need to endeavour to put some context into the work. At the moment, it is more like an annotated work, rather than a straight translation. In a translated work, we wouldn't be expecting to see any Tamil characters. — billinghurst sDrewth 13:53, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

This is not a published work. It is partially annotated work and partially verbal translation work based on two published works of verbal translation. Guide me with proper corrections. --Sengai Podhuvan (talk) 22:21, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

I don't think that we would be hosting the work, as it falls outside the scope as it is only a partial document, and it is not an exact rendering or an exact translation, please have a look at Wikisource:What Wikisource includes, and also worth a look at Wikisource:Translations. — billinghurst sDrewth 11:06, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

The more that I look at what you are undertaking, it seems that your work is interpretative, rather than a straight translation of the work. If it is interpretative, then it is something that may belong at Wikiversity: or Wikibooks:. I cannot be more accurate which is more appropriate as I still don't have a clear understanding of the source material or what you are looking to achieve. — billinghurst sDrewth 11:16, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

I intend all the materials of the earliest literature (linguistics)in Tamil Tolkappiyam be available in English as it is, but in an analyzed and simplified formation. Please guide me. If need be, I shall remove all the connotations in Tamil. I hope it will be available in a suitable sister projects of Wikipedia. --Sengai Podhuvan (talk) 22:15, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

The purpose of Wikisource is to produce a work as it was published (published works) or verbatim for historical documents. Interpretative and annotated works are academic in nature, and therefore belong at Wikiversity. All that we could host here is an exact translation of the work, no annotations, and it would live in the Translation namespace as expresed in Wikisource:Translations. — billinghurst sDrewth 04:47, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Time for you to stop with further editing until it is worked out where you work may reside. I do not see that it is Wikisource, and think that you should be looking to take it elsewhere. — billinghurst sDrewth 13:10, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

I hope and request you to move these to one of the suitable sister projects of Wikipedia. --Sengai Podhuvan (talk) 01:46, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Links to Tamil Wikisource

Hello, and thanks for your multilingual work. :) I noticed that you had made external links to the Tamil Wikisource, in a style such as "Tolkappiyam" but it's also possible, and perhaps preferred, to link to other language Wikisources with an "interwiki" link, like "Tolkappiyam". View this in edit mode to see the difference it makes and how to use it. I changed two of these, but there may be others like it. Again, thanks, djr13 (talk) 06:47, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanking you --Sengai Podhuvan (talk) 22:02, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Tolkappiyam

Hi, I've looked at some of your translation work on the Tolkappiyam, and I think it's very good. I've changed the style of the introduction a bit, though. Hope you don't mind. We don't have many translations of works originally in South Indian languages (certainly not Tamil or Malayalam), so your work is much appreciated. :-) Best regards,—Clockery Fairfeld ^[t·c] 13:53, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
