@Nenetarun: In regards to Yogananda's US citizenship, the following was copied from the Paramahansa Yogananda wikipedia page:
"In 1946, Yogananda took advantage of a change in immigration laws and applied for citizenship. His application was approved in 1949, and he became a naturalized U.S. citizen."[25] [[1]]
Please put these categories back in the article: Category:American autobiographies and Category:American memoirs or I can. I do believe your intention is good.Red Rose 13 (talk) 17:47, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Since Yogananda was an American citizen, I am returning the categories above, taken out by you by mistake, back onto the page.Red Rose 13 (talk) 14:46, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Nenetarun: Thank you for your good faith edits but they are mistaken. Here are a number of things to notice:
(1) Yogananda's book was first published by the Philosophical Library in the United States beginning in 1946(first edition)
(2) Philosophical Library published it in the US until 1952 (4th edition) when Self-Realization Fellowship took over the publishing which you can still see on the page. SRF began with 5th edition in 1954 and continues until this day.
(3) The Rider Publishing which is located in Britain began publishing the book in 1949.
(4) If you look at the OCLC numbers you will see that there is no duplication.
Please return this vital information back onto the page as soon as possible. Red Rose 13 (talk) 18:18, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am returning this vital information now.Red Rose 13 (talk) 14:52, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
