Request

Hello Harshavs, I needed some help from you regarding a template on Sanskrit Wiki. The template in question is {{Welcome}}. I do not have a lot of Sanskrit exposure and knowledge, and so, I am not really able to figure out what is exactly written there. I would be grateful if you could translate and tell me what it exactly means. This is fairly important because I plan to use it to welcome new users to Wikipedia. Regards, Yes Michael? •^Talk १७:३५, ३१ मार्च् २०११ (UTC)

Hey Mike, Please find the translation below. Please note that I am not an expert, however I observed that there are some grammatical mistakes in the text. Hope this helps. On a side note, isn't this a lot of text for a new comer ;) ?

प्रिय Welcome विकिपीडियायां भवतः स्वागतम्।, Dear Welcome, You are welcome to Wikipedia. (Harsha - I think a word is missing after 'Dear')

विकिपीडिया तु एकः स्वतन्त्र-विश्वविज्ञानकोशः। Wikipedia is an independent encyclopedia.

अयं हि अखिलविश्ववतः योगदातृभिः रच्यते।

Volunteers from all over world edit here.

संस्कृतम् तु एका प्राचीना समृद्धा च भाषा।

Sanskrit is an ancient and developed language.

प्राचीना भूत्वाऽपि भाषैषा नवीनपरिस्थितिषु अपि नूतनान् शब्दान् रचयितुं नूतनान् भावान् च व्यंजयितुं शक्ताऽस्ति।

In-spite of it being ancient, in a modern situation, you can construct new words and also new expressions.

अस्मिन् क्षेत्रे संस्कृतस्य सामर्थ्यं एतावत् अस्ति यत् सर्वाः अपि प्रमुखाः भारतीयाः भाषाः नवीन शब्दान् संस्कृतात् एव ग्रह्णन्ति।

Sanskrit's strength lies in the fact that all the major Indian languages, take(or form) the new words from it.

भारतस्य कस्यचिदपि लेखकस्य चिन्तकस्य वा दृष्टिकोणं संस्कृतस्य प्राचीन चिन्तन-परम्परया प्रभावितम् भवति।

Many of the Indian writers and thinkers derive their perspectives(influenced by) from Sanskrit's ancient thinking(philosophical??) traditions(heritage??) अतः संस्कृस्य उन्नतौ सम्पूर्ण भारतीय वाङ्मयस्य उन्नतिः भवेत्। Sanskrit's progress will lead to all Indian speakers' progress. (I am not sure about the meaning of this sentence)

अतएव संस्कृतस्य ज्ञानसमुद्रं सदा अद्यतनः नवीनश्च स्यात् इति कृत्वा अत्र संस्कृतविकिपीडियायां जगतः विविधक्षेत्राणां ज्ञानं संस्कृतेन लिखितुं प्रयत्नं क्रियते।

That is why, to increase Sanskrit knowledge with new and modern articles in Sanskrit Wikipedia, try to write articles in Sanskrit about various areas of knowledge in the world in Sanskrit Wikipedia.(Here again, I think this is what is being conveyed, though not sure about it) विकिपीडियायां लेखन-समये यदि भवतः मनसि संस्कृत-भाषा विषये काचित् समस्या वा प्रश्नं वा आगच्छति तदा भवान् अन्यान् सदस्यान् प्रष्टुं शक्नोति। While editing in Wikipedia, if you are to encounter any Sanskrit language related problem or question(doubt), you may take help from other members. संभाषण-पृष्ठेषु किंचिदपि लेखनात् पश्चात् स्वहस्ताक्षरान् अवश्यमेव योजयतु। तदर्थं भवान् -- ~~~~ इति लिखतु, पृष्ठस्य रक्षणपश्चात् हस्ताक्षराः स्वयमेव तत्र आगमिष्यन्ति। Do use your signature at the end of any article/discussion. For that, use ~~~~, after save, signature will appear automatically. आशास्महे यत् विकिपीडिया-सान्निध्ये भवान् आनन्दं प्राप्स्यति। I hope that you are delighted, here in Wikipedia.

Thank you! This will help us a lot. I am trying to contact the people who actually wrote this. After reading your translation, as you said, this seems to be a lot of text for a newcomer. I will try and seek your opinion when I restructure it. Your inputs are most welcome in creating a new Welcome template. Thank you again, and regards, Yes Michael? •^Talk १८:३१, ३१ मार्च् २०११ (UTC)

Will think over it tomorrow. Have college in the morning, and have to sleep now :) Thank you once again. Yes Michael? •^Talk १८:३६, ३१ मार्च् २०११ (UTC)

Leading sentence style

Namaskar Harshavs,

A note on the style of the first sentence in articles. I've noticed you've created many articles on districts in Tamil Nadu. One suggestion I would like to make is that the first sentence should contain the name of the article itself. For example, in the article रामनाथपुरम् मण्डलः, the first sentence currently reads: तमिळनाडु राज्यॆ स्तिथ एकः मण्डलः। It should read: रामनाथपुरम् मण्डलः तमिळनाडु राज्यॆ स्तिथ एकः मण्डलः अस्ति। and the title word should be highlighted. Have a good day :) Yes Michael? •^Talk ०७:२१, ४ एप्रिल् २०११ (UTC)

Duly noted, I will incorporate it. रामप्रियः १७:००, ६ एप्रिल् २०११ (UTC)

सिक्किम

सिक्किम is written for Sikkim and is pronounced as Sikkim not Sikkima or Sie kim or si kiem

Yes, you are right, pronunciation of हलन्त words is always हलन्त in Sanskrit. About Sikkim same is the case as Nepal, here also Nepal is in Eng नेपाल in नेपाली pronounced as नेपाल् . Actually Sanskrit name for Sikkim is Indrakeel (इन्द्रकील) .

Nepali is also हलन्त sensitive like Sanskrit, we use the words (छन् , हुन् , संवत् etc.) but we are writing सिक्किम. Here your argument is also 100% right, but my mind is not ready to accept this: Reason: all the words of नपुंसकलिंग has last letter म् for गृह+म् , पुस्तक+म् etc. The main words are गृह, पुस्तक. but as far as Sikkim is concerned सिक्कि is not main word whole सिक्किम् is main. Now it is up to Sanskrit scholars and sa.wiki community to decide. thanks Bhawani Gautam ०१:४४, २१ मेय् २०११ (UTC)

This is a case of pronoun, where I feel the argument for नपुंसकलिंग words do not apply. Pronouns should be written as they are pronounced is what I think. We should raise this issue in the community. - रामप्रियः १८:११, २१ मेय् २०११ (UTC)

Crat?

I had a talk with Mike on IRC. We both want you to become a crat. If you want to become a crat and if you can provide sufficient time to this wiki as hoped by a crat, then please send your approval to MikeLynch. :) ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ ०८:५८, २२ मेय् २०११ (UTC)

Thanks for having faith in me. I would love to become crat but how much time does one need to spend on a daily/weekly basis after becoming a crat ? As I am going to start studying for my MBA soon, I might be not be able to spend a lot of time on Wikipedia. - रामप्रियः १०:०९, २२ मेय् २०११ (UTC)

MBA! Thats great! As much as I know, crats have to spend the same time as admins. Community hopes a lot from crats. If you think that you may not be able to give that much time or want some more time to get ready for it, you may nominate somebody whom you will like to see as crat {MikeLynch is already a crat}. All the Best for MBA! :) ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ १०:२८, २२ मेय् २०११ (UTC)

Typically, how much time do admins spend on Wikipedia ? I am not talking just about Sanskrit Wikipedia, considering all other Wikipedias ? - रामप्रियः १२:२१, २२ मेय् २०११ (UTC)

Mayur told me that you may not be able to work as a crat as you are going to havE MBA. I do not know the time to be given. Please ask Mike. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ १२:३९, २२ मेय् २०११ (UTC)
