Where did the big chunks of article come from?[edit]

It was a stub until November 10. On November 10, almost all the information in the article was added in one big chunk with no reference citations. It does not seem to have been compiled by editors at Wikipedia. Could you please tell where it came from and cite yur sources per Wikipedia policy WP:V and WP:CITE? Thanks!

I'm in the process of updating the temple related articles and taking care Temples and towns i India.

Majority of the sourcing had been done from the two external references along with a bit of editing done by me. I've just added them a few hours back and in the process of editing. Feel free to look at other content creation by me, from my contributions section.

Move?[edit]

@Carnaticnerd: if you think that Kamakshi Ambal Temple is the corretc name, then you should inititate a move-discussion, instead of copying the contents of the article to a new article. Note, though, that

"Kamakshi Amman Temple" has ca. 174.000 hits at Google,

whereas

"Kamakshi Ambal Temple" has only ca. 4.720 hits at Google,

many of them directing to Kamakshi Ambal Temple in Hamm, Western Germany. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 08:29, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
See also Talk:Kamakshi Ambal Temple; User:Carnaticnerd copied it there, in an odd attempt to change the name. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 12:02, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking some of that should be copied here before it is deleted. Doug Weller talk 13:29, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where does this article come from[edit]

@Doug Weller, RegentsPark, and Utcursch: does one of you understand how a user who's made only ten edits can create such a long article out of nowhere? May it have been deleted before? Copied from somewhere else? Note also this line from the first version link:

In the Sangam text Perumpanatruppadai, the temple has been mentioned as Kamavelkottam along with Kumarakottam, which was then ruled by the Sangam-era King Thondaiman Ilandiraiyan.[citation needed]

"citation needed" is not what you expect someone to add to their first draft. Also odd are the dates in this tag: {{Use dmy dates|date=July 2020}} {{Use Indian English|date=July 2020}} And why does another new user submit it (also) diff? - Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 07:57, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's a copy from Kamakshi Amman Temple, right? My... Which User:Carnaticnerd edited from 5-7 april diff, trying to change the name from "Sri Kamakshi Amman Temple" to "Sri Kamakshi Ambal Temple." Also ping User:Theroadislong, who moved this (Ambal) article to mainspace. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 08:21, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Joshua Jonathan@RegentsPark User:Utcursch Deleted, but left this talk page, should we use the real article's talk page to note this? Doug Weller talk 11:28, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
