Talk:Hatha Yoga: The Report of a Personal Experience

Infobox
Chiswick Chap, this edit by you was unconstructive. The "language" and "media type" parameters of infoboxes exist for a reason. It is considered appropriate for infoboxes to briefly indicate basic information such as the language a book was written in and the type of media it is. An edit summary such as "unnecessary (defaults)" is not a valid reason for removing such basic, appropriate information. If "defaults" is meant to suggest that a book is by default understood to have been written in English, such a claim is simply untrue; without explanation, no one knows what language a book was originally written in. If you want to get the article good article status, you should be more accepting of edits by other editors. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 10:39, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Not at all. The title and everything else is in English, and in 1940 the book could not have been anything other than "Print", so both bits of "information" are useless clutter. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:45, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
 * You are mistaken and have no coherent rationale for removing such basic information. Readers do not know whether the "title and everything else is in English" because the book was originally written in English or because it was translated into English; that is especially true given that the book is about a foreign subject, yoga, associated with India. That the book could not have been anything other than "Print" is something readers may or may not realize; you are assuming too much there also. The concept of "clutter" would apply only if the infobox were too long and needed to be shortened. It is not and it does not. As an additional note, I would be perfectly willing to review this article for WP:GAN, but I suspect that you possibly do not want me to. Could you please indicate whether this is the case or not.

 * Of course I'd be grateful if you did the honours. Indeed, we can't assume readers know anything. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:17, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Very well then. I will begin the review process shortly. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 23:01, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
