User talk:Vinaymangal/Vedic time travel

Things to do

rename the article, something like "Vedic time units"
write an introductory paragraph
- explain where the terminology comes from
- explain why it's relevant
add references for the conversions (where do these numbers come from)
work on the borders to get formatting better (or use background color instead). (I will keep working on this.)

Format

I have taken the liberty of breaking up the tables in a more Wikipedia manner. The is does not match the pdf you developed before but here we don't have to fit everything into one page and the limitations of wikitables makes it a lot easier to format things if we don't try to make it look the way your orignal one page sheet looked. If this is not what you want, we can go back to an earlier version but then other formatting problems are likely to arise. I hope you like it this way. Joja lozzo 02:14, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was unable to find a way to have just horizontal lines in the table. That led me to using a gray background for the rows that have lines in the pdf. Joja lozzo 02:23, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hindu units of measurement

Please see Hindu units of measurement. Let me know how this fits with that. Should we merge these tables into that article? Joja lozzo 02:28, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalization

I chose to set modern units in all lower case and to capitalize Vedic and Hindu units with the same name as modern units. There are some Vedic units that are capitalized and some that are not. Are those all correct? What is the criteria for capitalizing and not capitalizing? Joja lozzo 17:00, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
