Avoid hagiography
, You are turning this page into hagiography, which is all that the Andhra historians do. If Kapaya Nayaka was such a great "patriot", as these sources claim, and threw off the "foreign yoke" by leading confederation of 75 chieftains and all that, he wouldn't have been finished off by another fellow chieftain prematurely. You can't keep pushing these birdy-eyed adulations when other neutral sources exist that provide critical analysis. And, by the way, Malik Maqbul whom Kapaya Nayaka deposed was a perfectly local Warangal man, not a "foreigner". -- Kautilya3 (talk) 06:38, 7 June 2019 (UTC)


 * I agree and have reverted the changes for now. Andhra historians have quite a reputation for this sort of thing. I'm afraid that this and related articles have frequently seen the Nayak pudding overegged by sockfarms, so the likes of myself and Kautilya3 have seen these sources time and again. - Sitush (talk) 06:50, 7 June 2019 (UTC)


 * For example, your use of Richard Eaton was fine but it was a minor point, whereas you used Durga Prasad more extensively (including linking to what appears to be a copyright-violating hosting of the book) and there have been concerns expressed in the past that Prasad simply isn't reliable. - Sitush (talk) 07:20, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
