General components

1. Research and references

  • Vaniquotes categories and pages
    • Categories identify subject matter areas pertinent to the article.
    • Pages highlight key themes and teachings.
  • Vanisource references
    • These are to pinpoint key sastric texts and purports.
Researchers/authors may further develop content within Vaniquotes categories by creating additional Vaniquotes pages, especially to present as references in the article. Writing the article and developing Vaniquotes as a resource go hand in hand; in practice, both the article and the Vaniquotes resources develop side by side.
Authors might prefer to use VedaBase for their research and references. Since Vanipedia operates through VedaBase as its sole source, this will work also. Others from the project team can convert VedaBase references to Vanisource/Vaniquotes links for the article.

2. Writing the article

  • Identify themes within the subject matter to be treated in a structured, section-headed format.
  • Determine the scope of the article and plot an outline.
  • The current title is a working title only. If article developers find that the subject matter suggested is too broad to be presented nicely, they are welcome choose to focus on a smaller aspect or subtopic of the subject.
