Sivananda yoga
Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. I see you've had your edits to Sivananda yoga reverted by another editor. It may help if I explain why they did that. You added some text, but without saying where it came from, while we require a reliable source; you made it look as if it came from Kaur 2021, which it didn't, which is misleading and possibly deceptive; and you put it in the introductory (lead) section, which is a summary of the rest of the article, which is fully-cited to reliable sources; and finally, you did not explain in an edit comment what you were doing. In short, your edit stuck out like a sore thumb, advertising "something wrong here"; and somebody duly came along and fixed the problem.

For what it's worth, the Sivananda yoga article covers its field pretty well, for a short article. There is obviously scope for people who are interested, informed, and have access to suitable sources to extend and improve the article. I'm afraid that adding uncited text isn't seen as an improvement here.

Hope that makes it a bit clearer for you. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:28, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. I see the error. Apologies -- as you noted, I am brand new. Will do my best to find the proper citations for the factual information I have and try again, following the format. Sawnabird (talk) 17:41, 13 July 2021 (UTC)Sawnabird
