Comment: Please note YouTube and blogs are not reliable sources and we don't use external links in the body of an article. Theroadislong (talk) 18:21, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: We don't use WP:HONORIFICs in prose, such as "Lord". There are instances of unsubstantiated puffery throughout, such as "renowned" and sentences worded in such a way as to elevate or celebrate, rather than describe neutrally. Sourcing is abysmally inadequate, and there are inline external links, which we don't use in Wikipedia prose. The history section appears to have nothing to do with the actual history of the temple. Instead, it documents religious views without attribution or citations to scholarly sources. ~Anachronist (talk) 00:00, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Please cite your sources inline, so that it is clear which source supports what content, and how much of this remains unsupported. DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:29, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
