His name was Vijaysinhji, not Vijayasinhji. His father's name was Chhatrasinhji. He should be listed as Vijaysinhji Chhatrasinhji, not Vijayasinhji Chhatrasinhji. Under 'Spouse', Manhar Durjansinhji is wrongly listed as his wife. Manhar Kunverba was the second wife of his father Maharana Chhatrasinhji. Hence the following should be deleted: "Manhar Durjansinhji (m. unknown - 1951; his death)".

Under 'Legacy', the line 'A silver statue about two feet long of Chhatrasinhji was crafted by Mappin & Webb, of London.' should read 'A silver statue about two feet long of Vijaysinhji was crafted by Mappin & Webb, of London.' 'Chhatrasinhji' should be replaced by 'Vijaysinhji'.

Under 'Legacy', the following line is incorrect: 'Chhatrasinhji's success at Epsom and his pivotal moments as a horse breeder were published by his Indian-based descendants in 2011.' It should read 'Vijaysinhji's success at Epsom and his pivotal moments as a horse breeder were published by his grandson Indra Vikram Singh in 2011.' Vijaysinhji was Indian, so there is no need to emphasise on the word 'Indian'. Secondly, the book was written and published by his grandson Indra Vikram Singh, not 'descendants'. This is clear also from reference no. 63.

Reference 65: 'Singh, Indra Vikram; Maheshwari Devi Panwar; Manvendra Singh Gohil; Vishvajeet Singh (2011). A Maharaja's Turf. Gurgaon: Sporting Links. ISBN 978-81-901668-3-6.' should read 'Singh, Indra Vikram (2011). A Maharaja's Turf. Gurgaon: Sporting Links. ISBN 978-81-901668-3-6.' The book has been written by Indra Vikram Singh. The other three names should be deleted.

This is the record of the publication:

• Vikram Singh, Indira; Devi Panwar, Maheshwari; Singh Gohil, Manvendra; Singh, Vishvajeet (2011). A Maharaja's Turf : Platinum Jubilee of the Triumph of Maharaja Sir Vijaysinhji of Rajpipla in the Epsom Derby, 1934. ISBN 9788190166836. OCLC 762321880.

A consensus needs to be established here on the talk page for those changes to be made, including a name change to the article. I'm afraid both of those actions go beyond what can be done here with the {{Edit COI}} template, which is generally to request non-controversial edits. Regards,  Spintendo  15:22, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

In that case, how can a consensus be established? These changes need to be made as they are errors. Princely Allrounder (talk) 07:07, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

I have looked at the errors and neutralised the wording where possible. His first name varies according to the sources. It follows the London Gazette. The opening bio does already refer to alternative spellings. Legacy wording has been revised Adin-Atherton (talk) 10:36, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
