How can i improve the article

How can i improve the article Nimbarkadasa (talk) 07:33, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Should I add a subheading on jīva (individual soul) and jagat (insentient universe) in the doctrine section? I would be able to reference Gupta, Bose, Agarwal, and Ramnarace, as Dasgupta, Bhandarkar, and Radhakrishnan have not covered this topic in detail. Nimbarkadasa (talk) 10:33, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Areas needing improvement

@Nimbarkadasa: You need to check citations. The {{sfn|Agrawal|2013|p=95}} is meant to produce a link that if clicked on takes you to the relevant item in the bibliography.

• You have not added a book by Bose dated to 2004 to the bibliography. Please could you add it.
• If you capitalise the author's name incorrectly, the link does not work - this need correcting.

You also need to check that spaces are left after citations.

It is fine having external links in citations - but not in the text, so [https://www.britannica.com/topic/chit Acit] is unacceptable.

There is a lot of unexplained jargon such as "ācāryas in Nimbārka Sampradāya". If you must use jargon, then you either need to wikilink it or explain it.

The following sentence looks like it was copied from an external source: "These concepts will be examined in detail within their respective contexts." (My guess is that the book or article or Powerpoint presentation you copied it from has some pages that followed on each of the three concepts. But of course, this article does not.)

What does the following statement mean: "He was immediate disciple of Nimbārkacārya"? It needs to be worded so that the meaning is clear.-- Toddy1 (talk) 18:49, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing out the mistakes. Nimbarkadasa (talk) 04:03, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

I have corrected all the citations. Roma Bose has changed her name to Roma Chaudhari, which is why I initially added "Chaudhari." However, I have now reverted it back to "Bose." The external link has been removed. I ave added the Wikipedia link to the Jagran article. That line has been removed. I lso improved the sentence for greater clarity Nimbarkadasa (talk) 04:05, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Suggestions

suggestions which may help improving the article Nimbarkadasa (talk) 18:04, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Dating system

@Nimbarkadasa: do you prefer:

• The traditional A.D. English-language dating system?
• Or the non-traditional C.E. dating system favoured by intolerant people?

Currently the article uses both systems - you have to use one or the other.-- Toddy1 (talk) 10:04, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

I don't know, whatever fits better in their criteria so that this draft can become article quickly Nimbarkadasa (talk) 10:07, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

CE would be good Nimbarkadasa (talk) 10:15, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Differently from what?

The article says: Therefore, he interprets scriptural passages that describe Brahman as nirguṇa (without qualities) in a differently. Differently from what?-- Toddy1 (talk) 08:04, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

updated the information, making it more clear Nimbarkadasa (talk) 08:57, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Biographical details

An infobox is a panel, usually in the top right of an article ... that summarises key facts about the page's subject ((Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Infoboxes). The infobox contains a summary of useful biographical information, complete with sources.

@Nimbarkadasa: It would improve the article a lot if you created a section in the article about Shrinivasacharya's life. This should repeat the information in the infobox about his life. But it should expand on this information.-- Toddy1 (talk) 08:31, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

i will create it Nimbarkadasa (talk) 08:47, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
