Talk:Andal

message: The Article doesn't sound encyclopedic currently
The article on the Divya Prabhandam states that it was collated by Nathamuni in the 10th century, from the lost writings of the Alvars. Considering that it states that the Azhwars were all pre-8th century, and Aandaal's father Vishnucitta was definitely 8th century the date of 10th century saint given in the article is incorrect. While her texts in their current form are traceable only back to the 10th century, Aandaal as a person probably dates latest from atleast the 8th century
Please cite the source which identifies Andal with Sridevi rather than Bhudevi.

message: In the article, the town of Srivilliputhur is spelled variously as: Srivilliputhur, Srivilliputtur, and Srivilliputhoor. There is a link to a Wikipedia article  about the town that also uses various spellings within a single article. Which spelling is preferred? I've changed all instances to Srivilliputhur for consistency. ˘ | ˘ Hwajaetalk • contribs 05:45, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spelling of Names 

message: The tone of this article is not encyclopedic. Some passages express a specific point of view rather than presenting a neutral position. Perhaps an expert in the subject matter should review the information. My revisions are copyedits for grammar, spelling, consistency, and flow. However, there were portions of text that I hesitated to revise because edits could change the sense of the text. ˘ | ˘ Hwajaetalk • contribs 20:56, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tone of the Article 

message: The Andal and Nachiar Tirumozhi topics are getting added up with the translations provided in ft site as it is with the claim that they are poems.Being the very ancient Tamil literature Saint Andal's poem needs care and consideration before translating them. If it is necessary to include the unauthentic translated versions it is better to include them as the perspective of the translator instead of stating them as Andal poem.Or the translated version could include the reference to the original poem itself.

thread_title: Disputed Edits

message: Why are you deleting sources and reverting the sourced content that is in the three sources? The earlier two, as well as S.M. Srinivasa Chari on page 11 state the 8th/9th century CE dating by modern scholars on Alvars chronology. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 17:10, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The scholarly dating is 8th/9th century, which needs to be included in the lead and infobox.  The references to support the 3025 BC were self-published and non-RS. The traditional dating of 3025 BC can be included in passing reference in the article body for completeness, as in Chari.--Redtigerxyz  Talk  18:04, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Indeed. I like your passing reference idea for completeness. For now, we have the IP and few new accounts like  editwarring with the singular "Andal lived in 3025 BC" version, ignoring the scholarly publications and preventing any constructive edits. Despite invitation, the IP is not participating on this talk page.  (or ) Any suggestions on how to proceed here? Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 03:04, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: @RP: Thanks. ,  Once again, any comments to @Redtigerxyz's good suggestion? On other text you have added, can you find non-SPS, reliable sources? Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 05:25, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

text: @SriKrushna7: Do you have a reliable source for this, per WP:V and WP:RS? Blogs, random websites and self-published sources are neither scholarly nor acceptable in wikipedia. If you read the pages in the sources cited, you will see support for 8th/9th century. @Redtigerxyz has suggested that we acknowledge the traditional hagiographies, an idea I like, per wiki's NPOV policy.

message: Hello, I am working on Andal's wikipedia page for a class. Through my understanding Andal was married to Lord Krishna symbolically. In the history portion I am unsure that this is represented there and would like to add that. Some of the information regarding her marriage and spouse is unclear to me and I would like to make it more clear. As well I am planning to add more information about her role in the history of feminism. Please let me know if you have any feedback or objections. Thank you.
