References edit

The references for this are all youtube videos; are there any better refs available ?--RichardMills65 (talk) 23:38, 13 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Can we add youtube as a reference? What do you say?--Vyom25 (talk) 12:09, 19 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Tables edit

I am considering making the references and the contents list into tables, as they are growing rather long. Thoughts? --RichardMills65 (talk) 00:15, 14 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

also in the songs section, i can't figure out what picturised means.

Picturised, I think whoever wrote that, was trying to say something like, that song was based on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.232.195.92 (talk) 19:00, 10 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

It would be nice, if you could add the episodes list in a separate page kind of a table or keep the summary of a week old episodes, and remove the summary for months old episode. Nihitmehta (talk) 17:58, 7 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Plot Section... edit

Shiva is the most powerful God within the Hindu culture, says the page. This part of the sentence I am removing, because neither Shaktism nor Vaishnavism nor Smartism accepts this belief. The first paragraph of Wikipedia's page of either of these 3 can be referred to. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.184.160.34 (talk) 11:27, 9 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Restoring references edit

Restoring all references in the article once again after User talk:106.212.211.139 removed them, with this edit, reverting. Last time in March, I had to revert again after User talk:116.203.60.78 removed all references with this edit. What's happening? Without references, the article will get deleted, no matter how popular it is on television. --Ekabhishektalk 04:08, 31 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Missing section that needs ammending edit

Following the great success of the series, Mahadev WILL be made into an ENGLISH MOVIE titled Shiva: The Man and the Many! With the technology and graphics and sets that have already been used in Mahadev, it has been seen as worthy enough of an English film! It has been described that the best portions of the series will be shot again in English for a 3 hour film focusing on simple philosophy that people who do not know of Mahadev or Hinduism could understand

If you have any reliable and verifiable references to this info, please mention. --Ekabhishektalk 07:13, 21 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
  Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Also, please try not to sound like an obvious shill. -- TOW  07:45, 25 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
there is too much of loud music in the serial...we would like to request you to lessen the sound of music so that the dialogues can be easily heard  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.220.123.98 (talk) 16:48, 13 June 2014 (UTC)Reply 

Padmavati? edit

I'm trying to resolved the DAB link for Padmavati.

The article says that these actresses: Falaq Naaz / Ragini Rishi / Rubina Dilaik

palyed the parts of: Goddess Lakshmi / Haripriya / Vedavati / Sita / koRadha / Rukmini / Satyabhama / Padmavati[disambiguation needed]

However, IMDB only shows these actresses only played Lakshmi and Sita. Where is the information that says they played these other characters

As for Padmavati, I'm wondering if maybe this should be Padmavathi instead? Coastside (talk) 23:04, 27 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Religious or Mythological? edit

An IP address user just changed the genre from mythological to religious. Was there a consensus on whether it should be either of those? What would be the correct term? BlacknoseDace (talk) 12:30, 30 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

@BlacknoseDace: Hi there, I've seen this sort of thing in other TV articles related to Hinduism, where editors fervently wanted to change "mythological" to "historical" because as devotees of Hinduism, they consider it the unassailable history of their world, where objectively, the show uses characters from the Hindu mythology. There is some erroneous perception that "mythology" is pejorative, obviously because in common parlance we call falsehoods "myths". But we don't typically cater to ignorance. The editor who came by to change the wording here said Replaced an inappropriate word "mythological" with "religious". Well, "mythological" is not inappropriate--it's how most scholars would describe any legend. When I brought this matter up to the Noticeboard for India-related topics in April, some regulars felt it was normal to describe this sort of thing as mythological. Times of India considers it a mythological series. Even Hotstar, the company that made it, considers it a mythological series. So there is no justification to deviate from that.

Thanks for clearing that up. I see the genre has been changed to mythological again, so I suppose this is resolved. BlacknoseDace (talk) 22:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
