Kakolat Falls
I've looked at a few of your edits, and I'm not sure they are improvements. You seem to be replacing poorly written sentences, with poorly written sentences that have more fancy words in them. For example:
 * Previous version: "A Treta Yuga king was cursed to become a python and live at Kakolat Falls by a Hindu spiritualist."
 * Your version: "A Treta Yuga king faced a curse that transformed him into a python, compelling him to live at Kakolat Falls as decreed by a Hindu spiritualist."

Could I suggest:
 * "A Treta Yuga king was cursed by a Hindu spiritualist to become a python and live at Kakolat Falls."

Copy-editing is very precise work. There are so many other areas of Wikipedia that need fixing. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:43, 31 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your thoughtful suggestion. I take your point. Sparklette (talk) 11:51, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for adding a source to false memory, but a quiz at quizly.co would not be considered a reliable source here. The sentence that you added it to also already has a source on it, so no additional reference is needed. Belbury (talk) 09:06, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
