- This is gibberish. I don't mean to be unkind, but I think you should stick to editing in your native language, because it's clear you do not speak English, even though you may you think you do. Dāsānudāsa (talk) 08:58, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

I would like to inform an popular, alternate and very important name for Shiva that is not mentioned in this article. Shiva is also referred to as Lord Isar/Eesar, in the Northwestern States of India such as Rajastan, Haryana, and Punjab. One source for this is "The Religions of India: A Concise Guide to Nine Major Faiths", which on this page(https://books.google.com/books?id=pNmfdAKFpkQC&pg=PA123#v=onepage&q&f=false) describes the Ganguar festival involving Shiva as going by the name Isar. Secondly, in the Sikh Japji Sahib, an important religious source written in 1604, in Pauri 9(https://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Japji_Sahib_Pauri_9) Shiva is referred to as Eesar. I hope you can add this as an alternate name for Shiva along Mahadeva and Hara, as shown below:
"Shiva (/ˈʃɪvə/; Sanskrit: शिव, lit. 'The Auspicious One', IAST: Śiva [ɕɪʋɐ]), also known as Mahadeva (/məˈhɑː ˈdeɪvə/; Sanskrit: महादेव:, lit. 'The Great God', IAST: Mahādevaḥ, [mɐɦaːd̪eːʋɐh)[9][10][11], Hara,[12] or Isar[you can use my sources from above], is one of the principal deities of Hinduism.[13] He is the Supreme Being in Shaivism, one of the major traditions within Hinduism.[14]" Vgolf31 (talk) 13:39, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. We cannot cite wikis as they are user generated, and the book source is a trivial mention. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 10:20, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

- I returned back to Wiki just to save the Mahabharata articles from the sockpuppets of User: Kairakairav and limiting myself to edit the articles related to Mahabharata only. Currently, I have no interest in participating in debates related to sects, which irritated me so much that I had to quit few years back. Kindly, don't reach out to me for this. Also please familiarise with Wiki policies, the article Shiva is classified as a WP:Good article, so it's obvious it would be better written.Seyamar(245CMR)💬📜 15:04, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Giving up against sockpuppetry
edit@Dāsānudāsa @Chariotrider555 @Doug Weller @Chronikhiles can anyone of you revert the edit done by @Seyamar as that information is not unsourced, the reference is provided under reference no.21 in the article, I can't do that as I am not extend confirmed user. Firstly changing the image in article Vishnu with the regional image provided by the sockpuppet of @Vinayvinyill and now removing the sourced information from this article to appease the sockpuppet, this sockpuppet creates atleast 10 sock accounts everyday, vandalising the articles left and right and you are boosting his morale by basically giving up against his biased demands, what makes you think this sockpuppet will stop with his sectarian bias and vandalism in future? @Seyamar Hbanm (talk) 19:57, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- I have reverted those myself if they are sourced; I thought they lacked citations as other remarks had citations to them, earlier it didn't had all other except for god of destruction and supreme being. However, I have kept what I changed in consort field (RS from Doniger provided); other than that please feel to revert that if you think so. Yes, I will refrain myself from participating from pan-Hinduism related discussion and only focus on Mahabharata articles for which I joined the platform.

- The reason why no one is answering is because everything you write is incomprehensible gibberish. Dāsānudāsa (talk) 09:23, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
