message: :It contains the text of the mantra, an illustraion of the goddess Gayatri, surronded by the Star of David.
This seems unlikely, or at least, misphrased.  And also misspelled.
indeed. I removed:
:There is also a Gayatri Yantra, which is a visual form of the mantra. Considered even more powerful. It contains the text of the mantra, an illustraion of the goddess Gayatri, surronded by the Star of David.
this should cite a source, instead of "there is", "considered". Also, Star of David is inappropriate. This should read Hexagram, probably. dab 14:00, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: The translation of the mantra does not say what "oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ" means. Anthony Appleyard 06:18, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: this is not straightforward. It is a magic formula even in the Yajurveda. oṃ means "AUM". "bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ" means "earth - air - heavens" (bhū means "becoming, being, existing", but also "world, earth"; bhuvaḥ means "air, athmosphere" , and svaḥ means "sun, sky, heavens"). We give this in the word-by-word glossary. The whole thing is interpreted as  a triplet of triplets, (A-U-M) - (bhur-bhuvah-svah) - (pada a - pada b - pada c). dab (ᛏ) 09:01, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

message: the word "Gayatri" itself does not mean "Gayatri mantra". Gayatri by itself means mother of the vedas but Gayatri mantra is the popularly known hymn. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.83.98.186 (talk) 00:38, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I have removed the random trivia, which is irrelevant to this article. If someone wants to write a encyclopedic section on cultural influence of the Gayatri mantra based on secondary sources, they should feel free to do so. Thanks. Abecedare 03:05, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I have reverted an edit claiming that it can be repeated 10 times. Obviously it can be repeated any number of times, but I don't believe it is common practice. I have seen 9, 18, 54, and 108 bead malas, but never a 10-bead one. However, I am being quite bold reverting this, and if it is re-entered I will just add a fact tag. -- Q Chris (talk) 09:54, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: The article builds upon the statement, "The Meaning of Gayatri Mantra Encompasses the Teachings of All Religions." From there it quotes from religious text in an attempt to back up such a claim. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 02:11, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

message: This comment: "revered by both Buddhists (not at least in the Theravada Buddhism tradition) and Hindus worldwide" really needs citation (and the bit in parentheses merits clarification). I don't know of any Buddhist traditions (except for maybe some New Agey universalist types, possibly?) that revere the Gayatri mantra. Not saying there aren't any, but if that claim is going to be made it needs citation in a bad way.

message: Regarding the section on the "Islamic View" of Gayatri. Firstly, it's not clear where this is cited from. More importantly, this has no relevance to the topic whatsoever. Gayatri is a primarily Hindu topic and there seems to be no (scholarly, innocuous) purpose served by noting some minor and empirical view perhaps held by some Islamic people. It should be removed.
