Checking against GA criteria
edit- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
- The prose is very poor throughout. This article needs thorough copy-editing by an uninvolved editor with a good command of written English.
- The organisation is bitty, the whole is not coherent. Please see Shiva for an example of what to aim at.
- a (prose):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references):
b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- Those references that I could examine appeared reliable.
- I added two citation needed tags.
- a (references):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- Hard to say, but most of the article relies on one source.
- a (major aspects):
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Fair representation without bias:
- It is stable.
- No edit wars, etc.:
- No edit wars, etc.:
- It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
- The image File:Jyeshtha.jpg could do with a better description, identifying the period of creation and where it was found.
- Likewise File:Sagar mathan.jpg
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):
- Overall:
- Pass/Fail:
- This article clearly isn't ready for GA status yet. Please get it rewritten in good plain English. See what other sources are out there. GA review is not a substitute for peer review. Please do not nominate at GAN until articles meet the criteria. Failed nomination. Jezhotwells (talk) 11:49, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
- User:Redtigerxyz has asked for expansion of my comment about organisation. The following sentence above about taking a good look at the organisation of the good article Shiva is meant as a pointer to what a good artcile on a deity should look like. Obviously an article on Jyestha is never going to be as large as that on Shiva, but the general layout and sectioning would be a good boilerplate for this article. Hope this helps.

Merger proposal
editI propose to merge Alakshmi into Jyestha. The article "Alakshmi" lacks information. Alakshmi is also regarded as the another name of Jyestha. Their legends are similar too. 245CMR (talk) 01:26, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose: Jyeshtha is identified with Alakshmi in scriptures like Linga Purana. However, differences exist. Jyeshtha is normally a South Indian goddess, Alakshmi is worshiped in Bengal [1],[2]. In Mahabharata, in Samudra manthan, Alakshmi is said to be with Asuras [3]. Lemon and chillies are offered to Alakshmi [4] Kinsley while comparing Dhumavati to Jyestha and Alakshmi [5] mentions that Alakshmi is described as an old hag; Jyestha as a married woman. --Redtigerxyz Talk 17:33, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
