Hello, I'm Jroberson108. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions&#32;to Kali Yuga have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. The revert is due to these issues: Also, remember that references should be placed after punctuation such as periods and commas (see WP:CITE). If you are uncertain of your changes, then I suggest first discussing on the Kali Yuga talk page. Jroberson108 (talk) 22:21, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Citation removed in "Epigraphy" section because the cited pages don't discuss epigraphy.
 * Citation removed in "Start date" section for "According to the Surya Siddhanta" statement because it duplicates another found after the sentence, with the latter quoting from a more relevant page.
 * Citation removed in "Start date" section for "following the same method" statement because the cited pages don't discuss Aryabhata's method. It appears that you are drawing your own conclusions, which goes against WP:REPUTABLE ("analysis, views, and opinions of reliable authors").


 * Thanks, I am doing this for the first time, learning how to do it.
 * I am not uncertain about the changes, although I am unsure how to word them.
 * I spent several hours finding and reading relevant verses in the Surya Siddhanta in Sanskrit and in English translation.

 * Dear jroberson108,
 * In my view the difficulty is caused by the reference to the website Essentials of Authentic Hinduism, which is the one giving the wrong argument. I suggest removing the calculation and removing this reference.
 * Aryabhata's method is the same as the one in Surya Siddhanta (the data is slightly different) and in fact the Surya Siddhanta text could have been updated from Aryabhata, it is hard to tell which came first. The method is to give a table of number of cycles of different graha and apsides in one Yuga. On the basis of this, it can be calculated that the last conjunction of all graha in Revati nakshatra took place on the date of Feb 17/18 3102 BCE.

 * Normally, I would have already removed this page from my watchlist and wouldn't have seen your comment. You can ping someone with Template:Reply to like I did. The only issue with your view is that it isn't coming from a reliable, published source. As Wikipedians, we should avoid publishing our own views, which is why reliable sources are used. Also read no original research. Jroberson108 (talk) 06:52, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
