The opening statement of the FAR, says in My concerns#5, "(Violation FA criteria 1(c) The article makes errors of what could be called chronological-spatial correspondence. It includes under the cultural achievements of the "Kingdom of Mysore," the achievements made in regions that were not contemporaneously part of the Mysore kingdom, but that came to be included only later in time, and sometimes only briefly then.... discussed at greater length in the daughter article Kannada literature in the Kingdom of Mysore. That daughter article has many more errors of this sort: indeed its sub-section, Contemporary developments suggests that the primary author is not unaware of this problem."
The page Kannada literature in the Kingdom of Mysore included the literature of the "Kingdom of Mysore" until the year 1947 (when the Princely State of Mysore acceded to the Union of India); in other words, the page included the literature of the period 1900–1947. By changing the page name to Kannada literature, 1600–1900 CE the primary author, user:Dineshkannambadi, is not only changing—without any prior discussion on this talk page—the geographical range of the literature, but also the chronological range. Readers of this page, which is the mother page of the Literature sub-section of the History FA Kingdom of Mysore, will ask:
What about the literature of the period 1900–1947 in the "Kingdom of Mysore"?
Here is a brief outline of the coverage of Kannada literature of the period 1900–1947 on this page
A year later, at 22:46 9 November 2008, this page, still Literature of the Kingdom of Mysore, continued to have the same section 19th/20th century Kannada Literature and included sentences such as, "Modern Kannada literature gained momentum under the patronage of King Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV (1902-1940)."
A few minutes later, at 00:51 16 December 2008, this page had a new sections, 19th century writings and Developments in early 20th century literature. Whether, the vaguely finessed "Developments in early 20th century," is an artifice for abandoning explicit responsibility for the literature of the period 1900–1947, remains to be seen. ("Early 20th century" usually doesn't include the period up to the middle of the century, and "developments in" is usually different from "description of")
Moreover, the page still continues to be the mother article for the literature section in the page Kingdom of Mysore; the latter "kingdom" was a realm that continued to exist until 1947. All the other culture-related sections of the Kingdom of Mysore page, devote a lot of space to the period 1900–1947; see for example, the Architecture section.
