replies: text:   If you want to use a short form for his name then I think "Chinmayananda" would be the appropriate name to use.  I have never seen him being called "Saraswati." Kautilya3 (talk) 16:14, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe. I'm not sure. What is certain is that we shouldn't be dropping Swami all over the place. This article is a disaster, as are most others with Divine Life Society connections. - Sitush (talk) 16:17, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sorry, you want to keep "Swami"?  I say no.  We don't use "Swami" for Vivekananda, arguably the greatest of them.  So we have a good precedent. Kautilya3 (talk) 17:45, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: No, sorry. I was using a very colloquial form of "dropping", akin to "peppering" the article with something unnecessary. What I meant was that the article had the swami thing all over it and in fact should not have done. We're in agreement: the word should be dropped (in the sense you mean) and indeed has been. - Sitush (talk) 17:52, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

text:  Should the "Swami" convention be reconsidered now that Vivekananda has been renamed to "Swami Vivekananda" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Swami_Vivekananda/Archive_3#Requested_move_4 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Swami_Vivekananda/Archive_3#Requested_move)? For consistency, should we rename to "Swami Chinmayananda"? 97.79.186.3 (talk) 18:51, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

message: We really should be avoiding sources published by the Mission, Divine Life Society etc. I can't actually see any of the ones cited in this article but those that I've seen for other articles have always been hagiographies. I'm also surprised that, even for the basic biographical stuff, we seem to need to cite a shedload of different Mission biographies - that makes me think that they are in here as a means of spamming Mission publications. - Sitush (talk) 18:06, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dubious sources 

message: On September 13, 2014, a comment was made That is a ridiculous number of images & I'm not convinced that they are all free of copyright..  I see this as two separate concerns:
* Image Copyrights:  I requested Central Chinmaya Mission Trust to release these images under a 'free' license.  They agreed and sent me an email per template Wikipedia:Declaration_of_consent_for_all_enquiries.  I will be happy to forward the email as appropriate.  When I uploaded the images, I did not see (or perhaps missed) instructions to forward the email.  Please help!
* Number of images:  What is a good number of images?  Per Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Images, at 1024x768 resolution, the images should not extend beyond the section.  I see only two out of eight images extended beyond one section.  Thus, removing two would be sufficient?

replies: text: Too many images of more or less the same thing. Images are supposed to inform; if people want to showcase then they should set up an account on Flickr or somewhere, I guess. - Sitush (talk) 13:36, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed about too many seemingly similar images. I have restored only four most significant images from the originally uploaded set. Sanjaymjoshi (talk) 15:58, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
