Signature
As a courtesy to other editors, it is a Wikipedia guideline to sign your posts on talk pages, user talk pages, and WikiProject pages. To do so, simply add four tildes ( ~ ) at the end of your comments. Your user name or IP address (if you are not logged in) and the date will then be automatically added along with a timestamp when you save your comment. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion). For further info, read Talk page guidelines. Thank you. - KNM Talk 18:50, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Shiva, Kailasha
from Vamana Purana as well as Kalidas's Meghduta explicitly refer to Kailash as well as Kubera's city Alaka on slopes of Shiva's Kailash in the Himalayas. Not only scholars, but also swamis like Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami say Himalayas. Then there are examples in Sanskrit poetry where Shiva and Vishnu are mocked to be leaving at their father-in-law's places (Himalayas and ocean). The moreover, your explanation contradicts reliable references and comes under original research policy of wikipedia. Please give secondary reliable references to prove your assertion, without use of direct primary sources like Matsya Purana as the Sanskrit scriptures could be misinterpreted (Sanskrit has many tricks of double meanings etc.) -- Redtigerxyz Talk 03:50, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Matsya
Chronologically, Brahmana, Mahabharata and Matsya Purana are written in this order. So we should mention it that way IMO. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 06:26, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Vishnu, did not appear constructive and has been undone. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page.

 * Why do you think my edits are wrong? Is the previous editor's statements the word of GOD or something? Take a look at what I put in and the assisting refs. I restored some material that was well-substantiated and added more ref(s) just in case. The editor does not seem to know that 1 lakh crore = 1 trillion (Lakh has five zeroes and Crore has seven). There is no place called "Travancore". There is a town called Thiruvananthapuram. We use "in XYZ" where XYZ is a place. Not "at XYZ". That Angkor Wat is the largest structure known to be built in recorded history is mentioned by LiveScience which is a well-known publication. May I know what this one editor popping out of nowhere is allowed to make SO MANY edits in two days and unchallenged? And I who have been editing here for eight years am reverted. I do not have the time now but there is other material too that has been unwarranted-ly removed. Please do not revert like that. Anup Ramakrishnan (talk) 05:19, 8 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Don't get offended -- Wikipedians undo others' edits all the time. You need to discuss your changes on the talk page per WP:BRD, as multiple editors have opposed your changes. The problem is that your addition reads like an advertisement. There are separate articles on Angkor Wat and Padmanabhaswamy Temple. Bragging about these temples doesn't belong in the article Vishnu. Also, news articles aren't exactly great sources for such claims -- peer-reviewed academic works are preferred. Like I said, if you disagree, please discuss your changes at Talk:Vishnu rather than simply re-adding them without discussion. utcursch &#124; talk 05:26, 8 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Ms Sarah Welch doesn't pop-up out of nowhere; she's an established editor with a very good grip on India-related topics and sources. And part of the fun of Wikipedia is that anyone can edit, as long as they make decent edits.  Joshua Jonathan   -  Let's talk!   05:31, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
