 * Symbol question.svg Citation needed tag, seems to need a bit of a copyedit (fixed a blatant typo just now). License of the image in its description box and template don't match. What year was this published, and why is it public domain? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:53, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Update: Fixed license, the image was taken on 18 June 1897 at The Lafayette Studio, 179 New Bond Street, London, W and was circulated at the same time. Added citation. --Tito Dutta (contact) 14:14, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Do you have proof of publication? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:18, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Swami Vivekananda, The Friend of All, by RKM, Institute of Culture, Kolkata has some information. Similar information has been provided by Bengali writer Sankar. On that day, multiple images of Singh were taken. Another image with same attire can be found here. Doing copyedit works! --Tito Dutta (contact) 14:31, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Copyedit done by User:WhisperToMe --Tito Dutta (contact) 14:45, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Still some issues: statements like "was famous for his patronage of real talent." aren't neutral. What makes RKMission Khetri, lafayette.org.uk, and Vivekananda Online reliable sources. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:25, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Removed that line, but, he was famous for that. Lafayetter is an archive museum of UK, RKMKhetri is official Khetri branch of Ramakrishna Mission and preserving heritage of Ajit Singh, they have an Ajit Singh museum too, for Vivekanandaonline, actually there Wikisource is the primary source, Vivekanandaonline is supporting Wikisource ref! --Tito Dutta (contact) 22:37, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * If they're the same letter no need to send people to some unknown site. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:52, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I have removed that source. I can add a second source there if needed! --Tito Dutta (contact) 23:01, 21 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg That should be fine. Everything checks out now: new enough, long enough, AGF on one offline source. No close paraphrasing found, image is fine. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:04, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
