I think Kalinga Kingdom should be redirected to this Kalinga (India) page? Coring-ton 14:33, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

The flow is a bit weird, plus runon sentences and comma errors. Initiating fixage —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.95.248.176 (talk) 06:30, 23 June 2008 (UTC) Italic text''

Redirect to
I think there's no use of keeping this page. It should be redirected to History of Odisha. -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs · [//tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-ec/?user=Capankajsmilyo&project=en.wikipedia.org count])  03:14, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Kalinga (historical region)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Kalinga (historical region)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "gazetteer": From List of rulers of Odisha:  From Trincomalee:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 05:03, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Map
None of the sources cited in the article (including the ones mentioned in the "note" for the tab) support the borders indicated in File:Ancient Kalinga location.svg. The western border seems to have been made up by the uplodaer. Also, the interpretation of "Tri-kalinga" as "whole of Kalinga" is doubtful, as noted in several books. utcursch &#124; talk 11:11, 17 October 2022 (UTC)


 * While working on a separate article for Trikalinga, I happened to read the source cited for this map (Outline of the History of Kalinga by R.C. Majumdar). Majumdar actually opposes the view that Trikalinga denotes the "whole of Kalinga in its widest extent". To quote: "As a mater of fact, the references [...] leave no doubt that Tri-Kalinga meant a region, distinct from, and much less important than, Kalinga." According to him, Trikalinga is the hilly region lying to the west of Kalinga. utcursch &#124; talk 19:43, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Legends presented as history
The current history section presents legends (e.g. Mahabharata, Puranas, Maldivian texts) as history, even when some of the cited sources clearly state that these are legends. Also, wikidot etc. are not acceptable sources. utcursch &#124; talk 20:50, 8 November 2022 (UTC)


 * But the user Avenger2000 used legend like Mahabharata and Pliny's description to edit the page. I forbade him but he didn't stop. And also the citations he gave are not trustworthy. Please you edit the page and restored the previous version. Debu Pattanaik (talk) 15:38, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
