Nature of sources
editI've used two groups of sources here, as is usual for a book article. There are primary citations to the book itself, which show where in the book Singleton makes the various claims; these obviously do not show notability, but are provided for navigation and verifiability. The secondary citations are to academic and critical sources, which include textbooks, academic research papers, and articles and book reviews by respected authorities on various websites. The diversity of the sources itself indicates the importance of the book, which attracted wide attention and criticism far outside the usual academic sources. Much of the criticism was ill-judged and on evanescent social media, but the sources given describe something of the flavour of the debate. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:00, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi Chap. I thought of taking up a few GA reviews and yours is a short one that sadly had to wait this long. Will post my comments soon :) Sainsf (talk · contribs) 12:45, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
Okay so here are my comments: Sainsf (talk · contribs) 23:20, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
General: Sources look great, images problem-free, no copyvio or dablinks, a few duplinks are present (that I will highlight later)
- Maybe say "yoga scholar" Mark Singleton in the lead and main text ("the author" here would be better) for a good short intro?
- Done.
- Maybe start By the 19th century... this line with "According to the book?" Just so that it doesn't appear like you are the one making the statements
- Attributed.
- A quote template might look good in "Purpose"
- Done.
- Would be a good idea to add a few YB notes to Illustrations to avoid an unnecessary "citation needed" tag
- Done.
- called the 2010 publication of Yoga Body Is "2010 publication" needed?
- Removed date.
- (ignoring its multiple meanings[1]) The citation should come after the bracket
- The citation applies to the contents of the bracketed phrase, so belongs within it.
- The last para in "Singleton's response" should probably use more quote marks or clarify these are the words of Singleton. The book was attacked from two sides in the lead also does not specify who identified these as the reasons.
- Attributed.
- Duplinks:
- In Book: Vivekananda, fakirs, physical culture, Krishnamacharya
- Done.
- In Reception: Vivekananda, Indian neo-nationalism, modern yoga, hatha yoga, Oxford University Press, Roots of Yoga
- Done. I've left links in the citations as these are seen separately from the main text.
That should be it. A nice, short read. Cheers, Sainsf (talk · contribs) 23:20, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
Okay then, I see no more issues. Happy to promote :) Sainsf (talk · contribs) 15:15, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
