An sv-pedia page watched by Ajiva rts. The Sri Vaishnavism wikipedia or sv-pedia
Is is not clear what this is. Part of wikipedia? An outside wiki? What web address? Existing or to be created? - Patrick 14:47 Feb 4, 2003 (UTC)

Hi, I'm moving this question from the Village Pump to your personal talk page to make room for more questions there. Feel free to remove it from here. --Eloquence 05:10 Feb 17, 2003 (UTC)
wikipedia is a great reource and I came to it as I was researching how best to build a bibliography of books and content on material related to the Vedas, upanishads etc.
Examples of some of the material would be pages on
- Hindu Gods & Godesses - There are numerous Gods and Vishnu has a 1000 names and for each name commentaries have been written.
- Books and their reviews on Hinduism
- Various noted eastern philosophers and historians.
- Different philosophical doctrines and their relevant
- Temples - their histories and other related information.
- Mythological characters etc..
As you can see this list is both voluminous and eastern although the language would be largely english However, there would of neccessity be a lot of Sanskrit words and words from other Indian languages like Tamil.
Is this something that wikipedia could be used for and if not would a "sister" pedia be the appropriate vehicle. ajiva_rts 23:59 Feb 4, 2003 (UTC)
- Hey, we have a list of fictional cats -- we allow almost all material that is encyclopedically written. This sounds perfectly appropriate, as long as you write from the NPOV. Compare Yoruba mythology as an example for mythology pages on Wikipedia (not all of these may be brilliant prose). --Eloquence 00:06 Feb 5, 2003 (UTC)
