Talk:History of Shaktism

message: This article is composed of the "Early Origins" and "Philosophical Development" sections of the Shaktism main article as I've recently revamped it. The only real change (so far) is that I've taken intros of several subsections and – combining them with some additional material – fashioned them into a lead. Next I need to check on reference list's accuracy and whether links need to be added (or removed). (Devi bhakta 19:49, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

message: *They were given an aristocratic colour [befitting their new adherents' more] elevated position in the society.
These portion of the quotation is hard to read with the additional [befitting their new adherents' more] for coherency.  If the addition [befitting their new adherents' more] could be re-worded it would be nice.

text: Wikipedia:MOS#Dashes approves the use of dashes. It says:
 Because em dashes are visually striking, Wikipedia takes care not to overuse them. A rule of thumb is to avoid more than two in a single paragraph, unless the paragraph is unusually long or the use of more than two em dashes would be logically cohesive. Only very rarely are there more than two em dashes in a single sentence.--Redtigerxyz (talk) 06:01, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Dashes reply as before. A period is not needed. The sentence intends to say that the idols are worshipped for ages.--Redtigerxyz (talk) 06:06, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Overall a well thought out article, but needs a few tweaks here and there.  I placed it on hold as you seem to be able to perform amendments within the time frame allotted.
