editText necessary info to vishnu wiki page such as,
By Adding, Destroyer of Evil, concept of Vishnu Avatar is protector of righteousness (good) and destroyer of u righteousness (evil) ,so it is necessary to add this word before bestower of karma.
Narayana Name quote name by redirect link in below before The supreme being (vaishnavism) and by removing same title name link in other names
"Narayana" is not just another name or form of vishnu, narayana is aspect and important Epithet of vishnu deity.

Durga is not the sister of Vishnu
editDurga is not the sister of Vishnu, it is yogmaya who is considered the sister of Krishna. It is Meenkshi who is the sister of Aḻagar. Vishnu does not have any siblings, remove it. 2601:205:457E:9850:CDA0:2EC9:752C:5601 (talk) 01:15, 9 August 2024 (UTC) Blocked sock Chariotrider555 (talk) 15:23, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Infobox Image
editAlthough suggested by another sockpuppet, it seems he has suggested a good image of the deity with good composition, attributes and most importantly proper copyright info. One thing that can be noted that it depicts the god in his region form Guruvayurappan, but hardly any major difference between the 2 forms is present. Seyamar(245CMR)💬📜 19:10, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Dāsānudāsa new sockpuppet has reached out, pls see the case and do accordingly. Seyamar(245CMR)💬📜 19:33, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- I already changed the image of the Vaishnavism article (to one including a devotee praying to Vishnu, the lack of which seemed to be the cause of the complaint) on the off-chance it might placate Vinayvinyill and his various socks, but I guess not.
- If other people could also report them, that would be good. I am running out of the energy/inclination to do so. Dāsānudāsa (talk) 09:54, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Dāsānudāsa
Adding old image to Vishnu and Godd statue for Shiva.- why so much difference my dear @Dāsānudāsa
- So many statue of Vishnu are found in world such as Angkor wat Vishnu temple, Cambodia, Garuda wisnu kencana, so many, add This
- if you didn't add atleast change shiva image add old photo to shiva, treat all are equal, you promote Shiva supremacy and wiki user's shows bad light to Lord Vishnu.
- only karma can teach you.

@Redtigerxyz Jeevan jeeva jr (talk) 11:06, 25 August 2024 (UTC)Block sock Chariotrider555 (talk) 15:23, 28 August 2024 (UTC)- Why are you so obsessed with statues? The main image on the Vishnu article is much better than that on Shiva, in my opinion. Nothing on the latter article shows any kind of "supremacy". Dāsānudāsa (talk) 11:12, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
And why so many info on infobox shiva and less info to Vishnu, isn't supremacy?- Unnecessary content add in shiva wiki info, Mahakala is another name of Shiva but you put as God of time and Also you add Cosmic dancer, it's also unnecessary, because it's name is Nataraja, add his names to as other names not in info.
Shiva is a pan-Hindu deity, introduction should be pan-Hindu in nature, lead adds his sectarian as Supreme later Jeevan jeeva jr (talk) 11:18, 25 August 2024 (UTC)- Shiva is a pan-Hindu deity, introduction should be pan-Hindu in nature, lead adds his sectarian as Supreme later

- i have replaced the img with a better crop, @Dāsānudāsa I have made this article, along with few others, extended protected so u can relax a bit. Seyamar(245CMR)💬📜 04:33, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. Regarding the new image, I don't really like that we've basically given in to the endless sockpuppetry, but the picture is fine, I suppose. Dāsānudāsa (talk) 08:55, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Dāsānudāsa @Seyamar As has already been observed, this is Guruvayurappan rather than Vishnu. I'm not sure about this, but I b Chronikhiles (talk) 10:07, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- I believe the peacock feathers of the image signify the deity being a form of both Vishnu and Krishna. I would suggest we favour a more pan-Hindu representation rather than a regional one if possible. Chronikhiles (talk) 10:10, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- You mean like the one that was there previously? 😜 Dāsānudāsa (talk) 10:10, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Dāsānudāsa I personally wasn't fully for it to be honest. We can do better. Chronikhiles (talk) 14:09, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- You mean like the one that was there previously? 😜 Dāsānudāsa (talk) 10:10, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- There may be some differences in the iconography of Vishnu and Guruyavuappan in general, but in this painting, it seems the artist has leaned more towards Vishnu. Regarding the Peacock feather, in recent times, it has been commonly associated with Vishnu along with Krishna. Personally, I don't feel much of problem with this image as it doesn't give the regional vibe and seems like a widely used depiction of Vishnu. Seyamar(245CMR)💬📜 10:25, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Dāsānudāsa:@Chronikhiles:I do believe the best image for this article was the one from Ravi Varma press which had the god seated in centre surrounded by the other avatars. Only if that img could be cropped in a desired way, this discussion would have been settled months back. Nvm, I think the current image is satisfactory. Seyamar(245CMR)💬📜 10:39, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Seyamar Alright I'm not going to press on this, as long as it doesn't violate policy we're good. Chronikhiles (talk) 14:11, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

- I personally do not think this image is a good choice for the infobox image. Firstly I do not believe we should be appeasing sock puppet edits in order to stop them from coming (the previous image had a consensus among non-sockpuppets). I agree with the criticism that this image rather depicts Guruvayurappan (with Krishna influence) rather than Vishnu. The image should be one that is non-sectarian and solely depicts Vishnu's attributes and not those associated with any avatar or local idol. Furthermore, I oppose what is the seemingly overwhelming preference for infobox images to be depictions of Hindu deities in the Western artistic tradition (painting or sculpture) (see Vishnu, Shiva, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Parvati, Kartikeya, Kali, Hanuman, etc.). These images in the Western art/scupltural style have artistic features (realistic human proportions, perspective, ) that for most of the history of the worship of these deities were unknown. Ideally, infobox images should be historically relevant depictions of these deities in artistic forms that are appropriate for high quality encyclopedic publications. While I am not opposed to the complete removal of Western-derived images of Hindu deities, their promotion over other artistic styles is highly problematic.

- Maybe a picture of murti of Vishnu from a temple can be used? e.g. Dashavatara Temple, Deogarh#/media/File:Deogarh, Dasavatara-Tempel Vishnu (1999) (cropped).JPG Asteramellus (talk) 16:17, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
plz dont add this sculpture even current image is 100 times better. Jayanthkaikini (talk) 16:28, 28 August 2024 (UTC)- Statue of Vishnu in Batu caves.
File:Images (1)~2.jpg Jayanthkaikini (talk) 16:34, 28 August 2024 (UTC)- whats wrong to replace previous image, peacock feather related to Vishnu not only to Guruvayoor or Krishna.
Is anyone add Vishnu statue by suitable liscence Jayanthkaikini (talk) 16:51, 28 August 2024 (UTC)Blocked sock Chariotrider555 (talk) 16:40, 1 September 2024 (UTC)- @Jayanthkaikini yes - sorry for confusion - I saw the image on that temple page and thought it might be a murti in that temple.

Add good statue for shiva in wiki, but why you added old photo for vishnu. Jayanthkaikini (talk) 12:07, 29 August 2024 (UTC)- Hey @Redtigerxyz
- so many propaganda for Vaishnavism and lord Vishnu.
- This red tiger 🐅 is from Maharashtra, he is shaivism, that' why he hate Vaishnavs, add old for Vishnu wiki page, why there is so many statue of Vishnu in the world.
- And why you added shiva statue of Shiva for wiki page, why not added images. Lol
- What a hypocrisy,,
- There is no children for Lord Vishnu, but you added devasena and sundarvalli as daughter, even none of the purana mentioned about it, it found only in Tamil tradition. Not necessary added this
- And there is more son of Shiva , but you deleted when someone added children name, Goddess Ashoka Sundari and Goddesses Manasa is also daughter of Shiva, it information found in some purana, but you deleted as not mainstream,
- What a hypocrisy ??
- You believe in some tamil tradition information that God children, but you didnt believe what information found in puranas, that' not mainstream for you,
Fake information is good citations for you and original authentic source is not main stream.
