[edit] Mahabharata

I found this article quite good and think it deserves to be a selected article on Portal:India. Most of the article deals with the actual story in Mahabharata, and hence doesn't specifically require references. Only by the end, is such a need present and whatever is required is referenced. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 20:09, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Support quite good in my opinion. Nobleeagle (Talk) 22:41, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Weak object - The article contains a few POV terms (eg: With its vast philosophical depth and sheer magnitude, a consummate embodiment of the ethos of not only India but of Hinduism, Besides being hailed as one of the greatest literary accomplishments of humanity) and does need a few more citations. -- thunderboltz^{a.k.a.Deepu Joseph |TALK}06:17, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Update. I have removed what appeared like Original Research. All the search results I could find about the cabinet meeting rescheduling were copied from this Wikipeia article itself. I am having a look at the other {{fact}} tags. I couldn't get why "Epics that can be argued as being of similar length include the Tibetan Epic of King Gesar and the Kyrgyz Manas." would need citations, and if needed, what kind of citation is expected. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 20:38, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Support - The article has improved greatly. (Ambuj, I wasn't the one who tagged citation missing there.) -- thunderboltz^{a.k.a.Deepu Joseph |TALK}04:58, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Then who made this and this edit :-? — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 05:25, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Those were made by me, of course. But I didnt tag that Tibetan Epic of King Gesar and the Kyrgyz Manas sentence, but the sentence before it, about Mahabharata being the third largest epic. I think when the sentence was made into a reference, some text got chopped off, and the {{fact}} template got misplaced. Right now the article looks a bit funny, with references asking for references. lol. -- thunderboltz^{a.k.a.Deepu Joseph |TALK}
