Talk:Prahlada

New Structure

I've moved the page here as Prahlada is the more common anglicised spelling of the name. Ys, Gouranga(UK) 16:55, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

thank you. it's not just a matter of more anglicized, it's the actual spelling. Prahlad is a variation of the name of the descendent languages. This is the proper,correct word. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.147.224.225 (talk) 04:49, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Major Cleanup and More Information Needed

I'm not familiar enough with Hindu mythology or religion to provide comprehensive revisions to this article, but I have noticed some errors. If anyone is knowledgeable in this field, I strongly recommend they review the contents of this article and suggestion editions or expansions where needed. I've cleaned up some of the English and grammar, as well as ensured consistency in diacritic marks throughout the article (though I noticed this usually isn't common on most Wikipedia articles, so this may need to be reverted). However, I'm not sure about which template to place at the header. Should there be a cleanup or expansion header, or an expansion template in the section on Prahlāda in Sikhism? For the time being, I added a multiple issues template with the particular issues I believe needs addressing. I'm hesitant to add a request for an expert review, however, since I'm not sure exactly what needs to be reviewed in particular, aside from perhaps the section on Sikhism.

Also, I believe there may be some confusion regarding the location of this so-called "Prahlāda khamba". It states in the article that the location is in "Dharahra village, in the Purnea District of Bihar, India". Firstly, there is no Purnea district, though I believe Purnia district was what was meant, so I changed that. However, I cannot find any Dharahra village in this district, and the closest one I could find is located in the Bhagalpur district of Bihar. Perhaps this is what as meant? Also, should there be a [citation needed] tag here? Apologies, but I'm a novice Wikipedian.

One other issue is that the term "Laxmi" is used where I believe Lakshmi is meant. I've linked it as such, but I'm unsure whether that particular spelling is specific to the sculpture itself or whether it's safe to change.

Citation [5] is also a 404'd page. Should this be removed or replaced? I added a dead link inline template for the time being.

Lastly, although I'm not certain, I believe there may be some cleanup required in the References section, in particular with appropriate formatting and citation. Similarly, should that Flickr "citation" be there? I feel like it should be removed, but I'll leave it for the time being.

If anyone wishes to reverse these decisions, or simply discuss them or my above concerns, feel free to respond below.
