Talk:Kirata Kingdom

message: I added a  tag to this article. Why is this tag needed? Here are some examples. My questions or comments are italicized. 
"References in Mahabharata" - What is Mahabharata?
“... at (12,206).” - What does this refer to?
"The Aryavarta-kings had doubts on dealing with them. (12,64)" - Why? How reliable is the “(12,64)” source? Are there other (scholarly) sources?
"Kiratas as a Mlechha tribe" - What is a “Mlechha tribe”?
“Kiratas were mentioned along with Pulindas and Chinas, Hunas, Pahlavas, Sakas, Yavanas, Savaras, Paundras, Kanchis, Dravidas, Sinhalas and Keralas. All these tribes were described as Mlechha tribes. Here they were described as the protectors of sage Vasistha and his cow against the attack of king Viswamitra. (1,177).” - Most English readers who do not have a familiarity with south Asia--India, Nepal, etc.--will glaze over with all these unfamiliar names, and it’s too much to have to read every wikilinked article. An overarching summary is needed for this encyclopedia article, with more resources listed at the bottom of the article for those who want to study in depth.
Note that if this article was written for a different Wikipedia site, e.g., https://hi.wikipedia.org/ or https://ne.wikipedia.org/, then the present organization and level of detail might be perfectly appropriate.   - Mark D Worthen PsyD  03:28, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

message: All the tribes and Clans should be focus in the mainstream of KIRAT for accuracy.
I could recall my memories that in the year 2013-14 in the History of Nepal in Wikipedia, they mentioned the name Kirat Kingdom in a more elaborate ways. But, today I see the a Word only KIRATA.... Well, being a Kirati tribe I am very disappointed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Khajen Rai (talk • contribs) 14:23, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge proposal

message: It is immediately obvious that this article is not written from a wholly historical perspective. It is heavily influenced by Ramayana characters, and references events in this religious text more so than historical sources. This article should solely be about the historical Kosala kingdom, and events surrounding it, reflecting historical consensus and records. If necessary, an article titled, 'Kosala (Ramayana)' could be created to separate the text's version of Kosala from the historical kingdom. As of October 2022, however, it is a hodgepodge of historical and mythological accounts, that only serves to confuse or misinform the average reader who can't read between these blurred lines. Please rewrite this article with historical sources, if you're an editor without an agenda. Much obliged! Chronikhiles (talk) 16:43, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Piet van Wyk de Vries

message: South African Police Force
This is a misnomer - there is no such organisation. Pre '94 there was the South African Police (SAP) and post '94 the South African Police Service (SAPS). There is no SAPF. Could be corrected? Although there is no reference or evidence of any service taking place.
Unit 19
After (noted not exhaustive) research I can find no reference to "Unit 19" anywhere. Nor is there any reference for this. Needs a citation, surely?
Dozi
The Link to Dozi does not point toward an artist - there is no such article on Wikipedia - it points toward a town in Afghanistan. The Artist exists, but I cannot verify that the claim as to being the producer of the album is true. Note that the burden of proof falls on the author making the assertion, am I right?
Pseudonyms
"Due to his extensive use of pseudonyms, it is almost impossible to track his works and involvement in the South African music business. Nobody is sure how many songs of his has been recorded and covered yet, but most people who are close to him describe it as "hundreds". Not EMI music publishing, nor the Southern African Music Rights Organisation (SAMRO), are prepared to clarify this, for reasons of confidentiality."
Doesn't the above basically say that the author can claim what ever he likes, it doesn't matter if it is verifiable or not because "confidentiality"? If the above cannot be substantiated should it be in a encyclopedia? Are his closest friends citable as sources here?

message: This section needs to be eliminated or have a better reference:
Cultural differences with Vedic culture
The ancient Vedic people could not understand the real origins of the Mlechcha tribes who were highly skilled in weapons, warfare and material sciences but never followed the Vedic rites properly.
The confusion of ancient Vedic people in dealing with the unfamiliar tribes is evidient in the following passage from Mahabharata. At (12:35) is mentioned:- What duties should be performed by the Yavanas, the Kiratas, the Gandharvas, the Chinas, the Savaras, the Barbaras, the Sakas, the Tusharas, the Kankas, the Pathavas, the Andhras, the Madrakas, the Paundras, the Pulindas, the Ramathas, the Kambojas, the several castes that have sprung up from Brahmanas and Kshatriyas, the Vaisyas, and the Sudras, that reside in the dominions of (Arya) kings?. [sic]
This enumeration includes the varnas (Brahmanas, Kshatriyas, etc.), ergo first statement of not understanding would appear false.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.65.228.39 (talk) 03:21, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

The other is the date of the award. The notice was was published in the Gazette on 8 April 1892, although there is a mistake in the date for the notice itself (7 April 1862). The article gives the date as 17 April 1892, without a reference. I'm not familiar with how they do this sort of thing. Could someone confirm what the date should be for this? Thanks.

Talk:Yaksha Kingdom

message: This article consists entirely of citations from the Mahabharata without any accompanying academic sources or discussion. I think it makes more sense to mention on the main Yaksha page that they are sometimes identified with real tribal people at the margins of Vedic society and include some of these references as a discussion of the topic in classical literature. It doesn't make much sense to have content split between two articles when there is so little material regarding the idea of yakshas as a real tribal people vs. literary and mythological references. --Spasemunki (talk) 23:12, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge with [[Yaksha]]?

message: Because of the lack of secondary/tertiary sources on the Yaksha kingdom specifically, this article is solely reliant on the Mahabharata to source it. I think it would be better fitting to have this article as a section of the Yaksha article. It should be shortened before making any transition to that article though, since its pretty long for an article with one source. Although this article is important, stylistically and in terms of sourcing a merger with the Yaksha article would better suit the material in this article since there's minimal secondary/tertiary sources for this topic. Condensing it to a section of the Yaksha article would better suit this material, unless someone can find some reliable secondary/tertiary source material on this subject. --Jacquesparker0 (talk) 23:00, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge with Yaksha reproposal 

message: The maintanance template comments on the published article describe this topic, and therefore the Mahabharat itself, as being part of "a work or element of fiction in a primarily in-universe style.

To describe it the way it has been is, quite simply, culturally insensitive. Please amend this immediately. Zhanand (talk) 01:58, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
