Is it necessary to have the registration mark on Chinmaya Mission®? Under my limited knowledge of U.S. trademark law, it's not necessary because we're describing it for informal and indentification purposes. It's not like anyone's going to sue us. The Wikimedia lawyers can keep it if they want to, but I don't think it's necessary here. Cool Blue^{talk to me} 15:16, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Foundation

Hi! The whole section under "Foundation" appears to have minimal to no citations supporting the content. I wanted to see if we would be open to editing the material with reliable sources & citations. Open to thoughts and support in updating this section. Whitestar12 (talk) 02:21, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like majority of this article relies on the Chinmaya Mission websites as its source (different locations/branches of Chinmaya Mission). This to me feels like WP:ONESOURCE. I tried to search for alternate sources for the information in the article, but I was unable to find other reliable sources.

Trying to see if any of the former editors on this page have suggestions: @Oronsay @Llightex @Celestina007

Thanks for the quick response! At a very quick glance, 1, 3, and 4 look good. Not sure about the reliability of 2, but I'll look into it. I'll try to see what I can pull from these sources & what edits I can make. Keep you posted!
