Backwards copyvio

Text very similar appears at https://www.cognopedia.com/wiki/Avadhanam but that appears to have copied from this page, not the reverse. DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 00:11, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Method section

Hi, I did an extensive copy edit (mostly removing feting for encyclopedic style) and added photos but someone familiar with the topic might like to check the method section. I have read the article, watched the videos and tutorials and I am ashamed to admit I still don't know exactly how the avadhanam works. I haven't checked any of the citations due to language difficulty. Best to all. Vera.Grace (talk) 08:23, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to take a pass over it sometime, hopefully later this week. For now I reworded the lede and simply rearranged sentences a bit. Shreevatsa (talk) 16:47, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shreevatsa, that it geat - thank you! I was wondering if something in method or the lead needs to mention that the poem is presented in a singing or chant style (if it is). People who are outside the Indian community migh think it is orated as only speech. Cheers, Vera.Grace (talk) 23:59, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Vera.Grace and Shreevatsa! Great work on the article. I have never edited any wiki page and honestly do not know how to do it but I noticed some mistakes in the names, terms and diacritics. Moreover, several new works on avadhanam are not mentioned, such as two recent books: The Art and Science of Avadhanam in Sanskrit by R. Ganesh and B. N. Shashi Kiran from 2020 and Attentive Minds. A History of the Indian Performative Art of Avadhana from the Origin to Modern Times by Hermina Cielas from 2024. Maybe it would be good to consult them? They are both in English. Best to you.

Hello Tilabhavini,

Thank you very much for your input. If you would like, you can write a dot point list of errors you see for me to fix. I will certainly look for the texts. I am very curious to understand how the art form works and even see one live one day! Thank you very much, Kind regards,

Vera
