00:3300:33, 21 May 2024 diff hist −193‎ Anne E. Monius ‎ →‎Research: Again, Wikipedia is not the place for the evaluation of a scholar's work, but for its neutral description, free from POV. Tag: Visual edit

00:0900:09, 21 May 2024 diff hist −1,015‎ Anne E. Monius ‎ →‎Research: deleted references to inconsequential book reviews. This is not the place for scholarly debate or the scholarly evaluation of a publication. Furthermore, the book reviews cited used weasel words (unattributed statements in passive voice) to make their points and are therefore less than cogent. Tag: 2017 wikitext editor

00:2800:28, 2 April 2024 diff hist +319‎ Kadri Manjunath Temple ‎ →‎History: flagged weasel words, citation needed, clarified some sentences. Tag: Visual edit

19:5919:59, 1 February 2024 diff hist +411‎ Purana Qila ‎ →‎Pre-Islamic habitation and Indraprastha theory: citing a recent thoughtful approach to this issue. Tag: Visual edit
19:5419:54, 1 February 2024 diff hist −147‎ Purana Qila ‎ There was a reference here to a non-existent author and book, and the nearest similar candidate (Upinder Singh's A History of Ancient and Medieval India) nowhere makes the Indraprastha claim, reporting it only as a "local tradition" (p.20).

16:5116:51, 23 January 2024 diff hist −1,125‎ Keśin ‎ →‎Karel Werner interpretation: Deleted the interpretative passage. There are many interpretations, from Mueller, through Kaegi, Keith, Deussen and many others up to today (2024) and it's invidious to quote just one. Also, Werner's book was criticized when it came out as a fanciful imagining of Vedic thought, without evidential support, especially for his impossibly unhistorical claims about yoga.

01:3501:35, 19 November 2023 diff hist −3‎ Śākaṭāyana ‎ calling dhātus "verbal roots" suggests that verbs are primary. It's not clear that that is the case in Sanskrit grammar. current Tag: Visual edit
01:3201:32, 19 November 2023 diff hist +72‎ Bimal Krishna Matilal ‎ I don't currently know Bimal's nationality so I've rephrased the opening paragraph to state where he worked, rather than his national identity. Tag: Visual edit
