Inclusion of Tamil edit
There is no point in continuing this. There were some good faith attempts to discuss the matter but the IPs derailed it every time. Eventually the whole IP range got blocked for disruption. |

Tamil being the oldest language in the world than Sanskrit needs to be included in displaying shiva's name. Shiva himself spoke that language and it cannot be neglected because of hatredness towards it! 122.164.84.18 (talk) 07:45, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
122, Sanskrit is presumably included to explain the etymology of the name "Shiva" for the subject of this article; see also Encyclopedia Britannica. Arguments over which language is oldest, first, classical etc are irrelevant to this article and discussion page. Abecedare (talk) 21:51, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

Comma necessary in "Forms and depictions" section edit
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
There may be an issue with the article. Under the section "Forms and depictions", in the sub-section "Ascetic and householder" is the following sentence: "As a family man and householder, he has a wife, Parvati and two sons, Ganesha and Kartikeya". If I know my grammar right, there should be a comma after "Parvati", because, if there isn't any, it sounds like his wife's name is "Parvati and two sons". If someone could add this comma, that would be great. Thank you in advance, and have a nice day! 90.139.189.126 (talk) 15:10, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Add the film Oppenheimer to the section on popular culture. Oppenheimer reads Sanskrit and considers himself like a kind of Shiva for creating a nuclear bomb. 5.27.6.147 (talk) 07:10, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
