message: It is recommended to check coordinates before inserting them into WP articles. The coordinates scattered across this article are not correct. Google Maps proves that the coordinates from German Wikipedia  point right at the Great Stupa. Please fix the problem if you know how. --Ghirla-трёп- 10:17, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I like the detailed information in the boxes contributed by User:पाटलिपुत्र. I appreciate his efforts.
However I think these details will be distracting to most casual readers. I have seen similar information in some appendices in some books.
Perhaps some the details to be moved to another page to declutter the main article?  List of works in the Louvre can serve a a possible guide. Malaiya (talk) 23:40, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably a good idea to have separate articles on each stupa and gateway. utcursch | talk 00:43, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I agree with utcursch. Possibly we can have these articles:
* Overview of Sanchi, its monuments and its historical/religious significance, with details of monuments (such as temple 17, 40, 45).
* Stupa 1, the great Stupa, 
* Stupa 1 southern gateway & pillars
* Stupa 1 northern gateway & pillars
* Stupa 1 eastern gateway & pillars
* Stupa 1 western gateway & pillars
* Stupa 3 and its gateway
* Stupa 2 and its ornamentation
* Sanchi inscriptions (on the monuments and relic caskets) and their significance. There are about 200, most of them are small but several are historically significant.
The region is rich with other stupas and monuments as we can see in Julia Shaw's book, which perhaps should be discussed in some other article.

message: My sincere apologies for saying this. 
To an average visitor of Wikipedia, the article in the present form is completely unreadable. It looks like a catalogue of loose information, the kind of information you might find in appendices. Most readers likely give up after the first few lines.
I appreciate the notable zeal of User:पाटलिपुत्र, a hard-core archaeology enthusiast. I see that he can typeset texts in Brahmi and other ancient scripts. I personally share his interests and have enjoyed his contributions. I think the article should be made more readable, and the details should be moved to separate articles for those who are looking for them.
