User talk:Bobert wi
Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. You might like to start by reading the tutorial and introducing yourself at the new users page. For ideas of what to put on your user page, see Wikipedia:User page.
If you have any questions, you can ask at the help desk or on my talk page. Two useful tips are that you can sign your name using four tildes (~~~~) and you can preview your changes before you save using the show preview button. You can regularly find new tips on the Community Portal. I look forward to reading your great articles and I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. :) Angela. 08:05, Apr 27, 2004 (UTC)
Yoga Edits Etc.
[edit]hey, really lovely edits on the Yoga page. I hope you stop by my user page and see my interests since they heavily overlap. I've also added, as of yesterday, several translation links for the Gita. I would really like to make the Gita page, especially, a much more coherent one. Hope to work with you on many cool things in the future. --LordSuryaofShropshire 11:53, Apr 30, 2004 (UTC)
Yoga Sutra
[edit]Greetings, and namaste. You asked me what material I meant when I suggested the article on Yoga Sutra could be "merged". The article begins "Patanjali has often been called the founder of Yoga. . ." and seems to end at the horizontal line, right after the description of Kaivalya Pada. Then, after the horizontal line, it seems that a separate, much shorter article starts, which begins "The Yoga Sutras are in fact a collection of aphorisms. . ."
The page isn't organized, and isn't broken into sections. I don't know enough about the Yoga Sutra to organize it, but perhaps you do. For example, the sections could be "Introduction", "Patanjali", "Raja yoga", and "The 4 pada".

Source texts on Wikipedia
[edit]I've noticed that you've added what appear to be some source texts to Wikipedia, namely Aitareya and Maitrayaniya Upanishad. Source texts don't really belong here on Wikipedia, though; not only do they not fit with the concept of an encyclopedia (see Wikipedia:Don't include copies of primary sources) but also consider that anyone else can come along and edit those source documents to change what they say. If they're online somewhere else, you might want to simply include an external link to them. Alternately, you may want to consider putting them up at Wikisource. What would really be handy here in Wikipedia is if you'd write an article that's about each of these texts, telling people who've never read them about their context and meaning. Who wrote them and when, what they're for, that kind of thing. Bryan 21:25, 16 May 2004 (UTC)
Yogananda Image Gallery
[edit]Please could you add the source of the images at Yogananda Image Gallery. Do you have any proof that these are in the public domain? If so, please add {{PD}} tags to the images you have uploaded. Thanks. Angela. 20:26, Aug 26, 2004 (UTC)
- I own a copy of this book, and it doesn't have any information on the source or copyright status of any of the images. There aren't even dates for them. Some of them are obviously in the public domain (photos of a boy who later died in 1935 as an old man, for example), and I have no idea how India or Britain consider the copyright status of pictures taken when India was a British colony. I'm going to mark all these images as {{Fairold}}. – Quadell (talk) (help)[[]] 05:21, Nov 26, 2004 (UTC)
