Hi! Alot of the information on the page was erroneous and incomplete, my additions were to rectify that, since alot of students visit this particular page. I'm a student and I've taken the help of my teacher to make the now removed edits. please reconsider, the material I used is in the public domain and not under copyright of the author. Santosh99Samuel (talk) 14:34, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Santosh99Samuel, I really appreciate this took effort and time. I would normally not revert such large number of edits. Any potential copyright violations require removal from an article completely. Can you explain what you meant by '‎Added the Definition from Manmohan Ghosh NS'?

Cheers, AussieWikiDan (talk) 15:38, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

The definitions of the karanas I've takes is from Manmohan Ghosh's translation of Natyashastra (NS) is an ancient treatise on dramaturgy,this translation by Manmohan Ghosh was done in the 19th century, it always been an open source and used freely by all scholars in bulk in any thesis or dissertation because it's under no particular copyright. I understand Wikipedia is not a guidebook, but these are the basic couplets of the technique nothing detailed. Also part from the material 'lifted' I made edits to the previous entries which were plain erroneous, how are those entries accept and my corrections rejected? Help me understand this is my first stab at making a wiki contribution. Thank you for you reply Santosh99Samuel (talk) 17:45, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Santosh99Samuel, thanks for that explanation. That is good to know. You may link to websites which have further details and more in-depth step-by-step guides; that section is External Links. However the bulk of the edits you made should not be added again. The purpose of Wikipedia is to present facts, not to teach subject matter, see WP:NOTMANUAL. In regards to your other edits, I reviewed them all again but:
 * Changing the name of 'Karana' is not necessary because this is the English equivalent.
 * Changes to the explanation of the origins of Padma Subrahmanyam's work, the other title name and lead section changes were not cited.
 * Although respectful in some contexts it is not usual to add 'the late' to deceased persons in this text.

I'm sorry if this is not what you wanted to hear. Please continue to edit in future but make sure to use inline citations.

"Due to the significant variations in the depictions, most traditional Bharatanatyam schools considered Padma Subrahmanyam's style which incorporated Karanas as incorrect, which forced her to name her own style as Bharatanrityam rather than Bharatanatyam"

This qoute is inaccurate. Dr. Padma's contribution has been validated the world over as the most accurate authentic reconstruction, the word incorrect detracts her work in a demeaning way. Santosh99Samuel (talk) 10:44, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

She wasn't "forced" to do anything. This person clearly is biased against her work. I prefer a neutral presentation of what it actually is, so can you atleast change that? I can send you material to back this up. Santosh99Samuel (talk) 10:46, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi you are welcome to change details in the page going forward. Please remember to use reliable sources and check the link I previously gave on how to contribute to Wikipedia.
