 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but am having trouble finding the inline cite for Kalanemi being killed by Vishnu, and for Krishna being Vishnu's reincarnation. Yoninah (talk) 15:58, 15 August 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm certainly not into Hindu mythology, but this is the way I saw it IMO and should be verified by (nominator) -
 * A) The second paragraph in subheading "Previous birth of Kamsa" is this statement that is inline referenced -  In that birth, Kalanemi would be reborn as Kamsa, son of Ugrasena, and would be their uncle who would eventually kill them all.
 * B) The last paragraph in subheading "Previous birth of Kamsa" is this statement that is inline referenced - When Krishna was born as the eighth son Kamsa's efforts to kill the child failed and finally Krishna killed him during an ambush.
 * C) The last line in subheading "Previous birth of Kamsa" is this below statement that is inline referenced that may be part of it- As Kamsa was killed by Krishna, a divine person, he attained moksha due to his constant thoughts on Krishna.
 * I would like to repeat I do not understand Hindu mythology much and there may be better inline cites that the creators furnished in the article.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:09, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Since the article mostly references Krishna, and no cites are appended to the references to Vishnu, maybe the hook should only reference Krishna? Yoninah (talk) 18:39, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * The ref Kennedy 1831 in the article mentioned Kalanemi being killed by Vishnu and Doug has given elaborate refs above of Kamsa being killed by Krishna. §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {Talk / Edits} 04:54, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Anything else left? §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {Talk / Edits} 04:49, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay, I see it in the article with an inline cite that Krishna killed Kamsa. But I do not see it stated in the article that Vishnu killed Kalanemi. It says that clearly in the source (Kennedy), but in the article it just says Kalanemi was "defeated". Meanwhile, while it says in the lead that Krishna is an avatar of Vishnu, that fact does not appear in the inline cite. Yoninah (talk) 20:45, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Ohh... got it now! Changed "defeated" to "killed" in the article. Have added references for Krishna being an avatar of Vishnu. §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {Talk / Edits} 06:04, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. All hook facts verified and cited inline. Rest of review per Doug Coldwell. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 08:30, 24 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Putting this in prep 5, but without the picture since it is not a picture of the bolded term and we need non-image hooks. MPJ  -DK 10:18, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
