Expansion efforts

Glad to see this article getting attention thanks to TitoDutta et al. As page-watchers must have noticed I have tried to reorganize the sections by topic, and have added a few refs (at relatively arbitrary positions; apologies for the disjointed look it gives the article, temporarily) that can be used to better source and further expand the article. I'll continue the effort off and on over the next few days; feel free to rework my changes in the meantime. Abecedare (talk) 13:18, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Nvvchar:, @Titodutta: Can you read through the article and see if there is anything significant to add, and if it is ready for a DYK nomination? Any suggestions on a hook? Abecedare (talk) 20:21, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Abecedare: Yes, it is ready, in my opinion. since we may write another article on "Rousing call to the Hindu Nation", we dhould keep the hook for that article. Something with Vivekananda Rock Memorial or Vivekananda Kendra will be interesting. Tito☸Dutta 00:34, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the hook suggestion ...that Eknath Ranade who founded the Vivekananda Kendra in Kanyakumari in 1972, was honored as a Karmayogi?--Nvvchar. 03:20, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good one, but, unfortunately there is not any free picture, I have removed the word from the hook Tito☸Dutta 03:33, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I like Nvvchar's alliterative suggestion too. If we want to enhance that effect, we can even leave out the "in 1972" bit. Abecedare (talk) 03:43, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding a Template

I cannot add/ use a template in mobile edit. But someone please add/ use "not to be confused with" template in the beginning. I've just written it as a text in Italitcs, but I think using a template would be better. જય જલારામ (talk) 04:13, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
