Continuing copyright issues
This article became a copyright problem of with this edit. Unfortunately, the attempted rewrite created an unusable unauthorized derivative work of that source. For an example of close paraphrasing, consider the following:

The rewrite said:

There are other passages that similarly follow too closely.

While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation - including both structure and language - are. So that it will not constitute a derivative work, any material used from that source must be completely rewritten. The essay Close paraphrasing contains some suggestions for rewriting that may help avoid these issues. The article Wikipedia Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches, while about plagiarism rather than copyright concerns, also contains some suggestions for reusing material from sources that may be helpful, beginning under "Avoiding plagiarism".

Alternatively, if the material can be verified to be public domain or permission is provided, we can use the original text with proper attribution.

Please let me know if you have questions about this. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:07, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

When was Bhubaneswar called "Bhubanesa". I think a proof is needed and we need to also attach a reference to the fact that he ruled Bhubaneswar too..As far as I know he ruled only north Odisha and Bhuabaneswar is down south.110.224.204.145 (talk) 14:58, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Removed stale POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV
An old neutrality tag that appears to have no active discussion has been removed from this page per the instructions at Template:POV:


 * This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever any one of the following is true:


 * There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
 * It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
 * In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant

The article has been edited extensively in the two years since it was tagged, at this time there is no obvious overarching NPOV problem, and there is no evidence of ongoing discussion of neutrality, so I've removed the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one!

Recent edit warring
Regarding the recent edit warring by an apparently new user, I could verify one of the existing source which says Shashanka was a Kayastha, though it hardly matters! Would like to ping some experienced editors in order to avoid edit warring and maintain NPOV, since the edit warring user has come up with a source (snippet view) which supports their Brahmin claim. would request your opinion here! Thanks. Ekdalian (talk) 15:36, 10 June 2024 (UTC)


 * I'd suggest we restore this stable version before all these caste cruft. And start from there. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:53, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm in favour of Fylindfotberserk's view. needs to follow WP:BRD and get consensus before adding a caste claim.  Ratnahastin  (talk) 04:28, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
