Hello Slamforeman. The current tag on the page was added by you, stating the article is too long to read/certain sections are too long. Can you clarify which sections you are referring to and what makes the article too long? Wondering because the article is currently rated as a start class article per WP:ASSESS, so, to me, the amount of content seems appropriate and also because there are a lot of other (much longer) articles out there. Thanks. Eucalyptusmint (talk) 15:50, 18 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Eucalyptusmint, the sections I would contend are too long are Sampangi pradakshina, Vimana pradakshina, Ananda Nilayam Vimanam, Bangaru vakili, and Garbhagriha. These in particular have a great deal of detail which ordinarily would be fine. However, because each section has so many run on sentences, needlessly complicated words (i.e. "circumambulates", "appellation"), grammatical errors (i.e. "in olden days",) and little to no sources, this makes the article too long. Although all these issues do indeed place the article in the start class category, as I am sure you know, improving these issues would graduate it from start class.
Additionally, it should be said that the size of the article (12,640), puts it in the WP:SIZERULE category of "Probably should be divided or trimmed".
Kind regards, Slamforeman (talk) 17:54, 18 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the thoughts and definitely agree that the article needs a lot of ce clean up, which am hoping to fix and that might help trim it down some with goal being to resolve the tag. Took a closer look at the policy and looks like WP:SIZERULE is based on an article's word count not the actual article's length/bytes (which is 12,640) per the page info, am assuming you were looking at that? So I put the article into a word processor (as suggested by the policy) and the word count comes out to be 1500ish. So per the policy "Length alone does not justify division or trimming" if it's less than 6000 words. Based on this, would you be agreeable if the tag was removed?

Yes, thank you for correcting me, I did confuse bytes and words. Recognising that, I would not have any qualms if you were to remove the tag but I would ask you to consider placing a tag on the CE, source, or grammar issues. Slamforeman (talk) 02:44, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Great! and sure, I can do that. Eucalyptusmint (talk) 00:05, 30 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
