Intros

Copied intros from various articles to begin with. deeptrivia (talk) 02:57, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

5thVeda

In the dance part of the article it is mentioned that Natya shaastra is considered the 5th veda. This may not be true. Ayrveda is usually considered as the 5th veda. Sometimes Mahabharatha is also mentioned as the 5th Veda. It looks like whoever wants to stress some work, calls it as the 5th Veda. --Raghu 04:51, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree. It may be better to drop that reference altogether. --Gurubrahma 06:47, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Missing — Painting

Article misses a section on Indian painting, describing history (cave paintings (Bhimbiketa, Ajanta, etc), Mughal style painting, etc.), and the contemporary scene. deeptrivia (talk) 13:53, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Tvmedia.jpg

Image:Tvmedia.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Lothal conception.jpg

The image Image:Lothal conception.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
• That this article is linked to from the image description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --08:04, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Merge Proposal

Oppose - NB This has not been set up correctly, as there are two links to different pages for "discuss". The proposer has also been making a number of changes to categories as though this proposal had been passed. It should not be, but Indian art should only cover the visual arts as the equivalent articles for other countries do. It is a huge and important subject and deserves its own article. The article is already rather too large to merge here. Johnbod (talk) 14:30, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Ok, Discussion now just here. Johnbod (talk) 15:04, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
