Virabhadrasana
Welcome to Wikipedia. With respect to your edit on Virabhadrasana, the tone in your edit comment was very aggressive. Your specific reference to policy suggests, however, that you are not a new IP editor but a returning editor choosing not to log in for some reason: I do hope that you have not been blocked or banned. I will consider your complex edit carefully; the material will need some editing at least as we don't use external links directly in the text, and the way Mollie Stack is mentioned makes it appear that Singleton was in that sentence speaking about her, which he wasn't: the point of the paragraph was that he was arguing that Bukh/Ling seemed to have influenced Krishnamacharya to include similar standing poses. Mollie Stack's near-asanas certainly came in the opposite direction as she learnt asanas in India: she definitely was not a European source that influenced Krishnamacharya, as your placement of her in that paragraph unfortunately implied, so I had been quite right to remove it (if it was yours: there was one edit by you, another by a single-edit user named Hermesfeet). My comment about a primary source referred to Mollie Stack; using her as her own source is not entirely impossible but always risky, and the juxtaposition with Singleton constituted Original Research by Synthesis, or in short was simply wrong. The Ellora caves material I have left in, reformatting the references; since the secondary source names the primary ones, it's lawful, though the association of the statues with yoga poses is very doubtful, and there's no suggestion that Krishnamacharya actually knew of them, so the most one could say is that it's scholarly speculation.
