Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: not moved based on discussion at Talk:Swami Bhaskarananda Saraswati which seems similar enough that it can apply here as well Dpmuk (talk) 13:43, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Swami Shivananda → Shivananda — Swami is a Hindu honorific title. Inclusion of honorifics is discouraged through MOS:HONORIFIC and more specifically the proposed Indic namig convention (WP:NCIN). Labattblueboy (talk) 01:40, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Swami Brahmananda → Brahmananda

I commented on this at Talk:Swami Bhaskarananda Saraswati. Maybe the discussion could continue there? Devadaru (talk) 13:18, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Close paraphrasing[edit]

This article closely paraphrases at least some of its sources. For an example of close paraphrasing, consider the following text from [1]:

In 1917, Swami Premananda who used to manage the affairs of the Math at Belur fell seriously ill, and his duties came to rest on the shoulders of Swami Shivananda. And in 1922, after the passing away of Swami Brahmananda, he was made the President of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission, in which post he continued till he end of his life.
In 1924 and 1927, he went on two long tours to the South, during which he formally opened the centres at Bombay, Nagpur and Ootacamund and initiated a large number of people.
His health which was already shattered, broke down still more and beyond recovery in May, 1933, when he had an attack of apoplexy, which deprived him of the use of half of his body including speech. He passed away on February 20, 1934, leaving a memory which is like a golden dream flung suddenly from one knows not where into this harsh world of reality.

Content added to the article in January 2012 says:

In 1917 when Baburam Maharaj (Swami Premananda) fell ill and passed away, his duties of managing the affairs of the Math and Mission came to rest with Swami Shivananda. In 1922, after the passing of Swami Brahmananda, he became the second President of Ramakrishna Math and Mission....In 1924 and 1927 he went on two long tours to South and first established the Ramakrishna Math in Ootakamund and then later in Bombay and Nagpur.

There are other passages that similarly follow too closely. I do not know if other sources are also closely paraphrased.

While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation - including both structure and language - are. Content that is too closely paraphrased from this or any other source should be removed or revised. The essay Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing contains some suggestions for rewriting that may help avoid these issues. The article Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches, while about plagiarism rather than copyright concerns, also contains some suggestions for reusing material from sources that may be helpful, beginning under "Avoiding plagiarism".

Alternatively, if the material can be verified to be public domain or permission is provided, we can use the original text with proper attribution.
