Modern themes in Odissi
Initially, Odissi dancers used ancient Odia songs as the basis for their abhinaya numbers. The Gitagovinda of Jayadeva had become a favourite with Odissi dancers, because, historically, temple dancers danced to the songs in the Gitagovinda. —Preceding unsigned comment added by St. sisamar (talk • contribs) 13:43, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Alphabetical order of names
Anybody familiar with English grammar would know that if you should choose to list names alphabetically, the rule is to list them by surnames. May I ask the editor why she or he is choosing to list them using first names? That is normally not the practice.

'''Also, the level of discourse in here is often rather odious and reprehensible. The original editor has done a good job, and it is alarming to see him/her under repeated, vituperative attack.''' Priyadarshini22 (talk) 19:50, 29 September 2011 (UTC)


 * That's the norm, subject to the geographic area and popularity of usage. No hard and fast rule applies here but conventions are always there i.e. people are popularly known by their first names like Guru Deba Prasad or Guru Pankaj Charan and not Guru Das. From the view point of an article, you certainly make a good point.


 * Not really. Priyadarshini22 (talk) 07:59, 2 October 2011 (UTC)


 * If you would have noted, leaving apart Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra, Guru Pankaj Charan Das, Guru Deba Prasad Das and Guru Raghunath Dutta, who were the original quartet of major gurus, their names were left as-is and the others had been alphabetically arranged. Once I have some time I will expend some time to rearrange based on telephone-directory basis.


 * on telephone-directory basis??? That's clunky English. In fact, many sections of this page are rife with remarkably poor English. Priyadarshini22 (talk) 07:59, 2 October 2011 (UTC)


 * In that particular section... Odissi renaissance ... all the people listed are remarkable Gurus. I could not decipher the logic behind only prefixing the title of "Guru" for only males. All of them are Gurus (male and female both) of high caliber and the title is implicit in this particular context.


 * In that particular section... Odissi renaissance ... all the people
 * corrected: In that particular section -- the Odissi renaissance -- all the people.... Priyadarshini22 (talk) 07:59, 2 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Guru Mayadhar Raut already existed in the list. You have tried to insert the Guru Mayadhar (as a new insertion) within the foremost quartet but missed out on removing the existing occurrence.


 * Everyone has a right to an opinion. I will leave it at that. Thanks.

 * Not if it is historically inaccurate. That would generate anarchy. Priyadarshini22 (talk) 07:59, 2 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Is this your full time job? Editing the Wikipedia Odissi page? It would certainly appear so, given the amount of time you spend on it. Are you an art critic, or a dance critic, or a dance historian/scholar? Good luck! Priyadarshini22 (talk) 11:22, 2 October 2011 (UTC)Priyadarshini22 (talk) 07:59, 2 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Not surprised... Only Questions but NO Answers... you question about English grammar and usage, and have a pretty hard time of forming even a simple sentence correctly (more specifically note the flowery sentence which you stressed in bold now and in this communication- grammatically correct ???). The way you edit wiki comments is really something of a piece of art.... interspersing your writing with my writings... what a freaking mess to understand what the thought process was from other contributors... who now have to read between the lines literally. Also you love to go back and correct out the previous writings which literally means going through the versions. Do you have a hard time getting your thoughts straight ? Odious... sure it is now.


 * Anarchy ? Please provide the sources of your thoughts regarding Guru Mayadhar Rout ? Factual info prevails. What is sequencing of names based on last-name called if not arrangement as per telephone-directory basis for us mere mortals? Clunky English ? Sure.


 * What is this ?..... care to explain.... In that particular section... Odissi renaissance ... all the people corrected: In that particular section -- the Odissi renaissance -- all the people.... Priyadarshini22 (talk) 07:59, 2 October 2011 (UTC).... The same change as last time ??? Puzzling !!!


 * Full time job ? Well you have formed your opinion. So do you have what it takes in you to treat this as a full time job ? Are you an art critic, or a dance critic, or a dance historian/scholar, or a dancer/ musician in this Odissi Dance ? If you feel you are any of those or even all of these, what makes you qualified enough to feel so ? Other questions to follow if I get these answers. And if you decide to respond please do so at the bottom of this and sign it... Good luck!

Devanagari script
I am not getting use of Devanagari script with Odissi name.What it has to do with Odissi dance?Neither Odissi originated nor linked historically to any of Devanagari spoken regions.so I deleted the name in Devanagari.If anybody thinks I am wrong then let me know how it is justified. diptiprakashpalai  —Preceding undated comment added 04:18, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

List of performers
Culled per WP:NLIST and WP:Source list. Any additions should have their own article or be accompanied by independent sources attesting to their importance in the field. --Neil N  talk to me 15:16, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi NeilN, agree with changes, however people listed are notable in this area, it is just that people have not been able to create the wiki articles for them. Also adding the external references for each of them is going to really clutter up the page and the longest section being the "References" section. Based on this, I would request you to please suggest what should be done? Thanks, --Karan1974 (talk) 16:59, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
