[edit] Wikisource & Wikiquotes

I have added Wikisource and Wikiquotes. Both are at the initial stage and I intend to do some more work on that over a period of time. Others interested in this topic may please put in their might.

[edit] Move to Keshab Chandra Sen

If there are no objections, I would like to move this page to Keshab Chandra Sen. The Keshub Chunder Sen spelling was common in British days; it ‘smells' of British times, somehow. Keshab Chandra Sen is closer to the Bangla, and the common way to spell the name today. Google comes out 3,260 vs 4,140. Comments please. Devadaru (talk) 11:59, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

The spelling of the name is as he himself used. I think it should remain as it is. - P.K.Niyogi (talk) 13:36, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

The name with this spelling also has links outside Wikipedia (Wikiquote etc.). A move disturbs all that. - P.K.Niyogi (talk) 12:14, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, you make some good points against my proposal. I guess it still seems old-fashioned to me. I have become accustomed to the spelling found in the Ramakrishna Mission literature. And a move would have a redirect. But considering your reservations, I will hold off making any changes. Anyone else have an opinion on this? Devadaru (talk) 12:35, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

It is a standard practice to use the spelling of a name as used by the person himself. This page has been moved from the spelling proposed to the present one with a redirect available. I am happy that Devadaru sees the point - P.K.Niyogi (talk) 16:37, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

We can't change the way a person wrote his name, so if the subject wrote his name as "Keshub Chunder" , we have to stick to that. --Ragib (talk) 07:11, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
