[edit] article history

this article was copy-paste moved in the past. Part of the edit history is now at Atharva-Veda. dab (ᛏ) 16:27, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] .

The whole "popular misconceptions" (!) section desperately needs an NPOV screening. Wikipedia isn't a platform for privileging any religious ideas over another, whether 'misconceived' or otherwise. I'd prefer not to do the rewrite myself, however, since my knowledge of the Vedas is insufficient. QuartierLatin1968 13:23, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

remove that section. At least points 1-3 are entirely consistent with academic communis opinio. dab (ᛏ) 14:07, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] cleanup

Thanks for the IASTification Miljoshi :) I think we will be able to remove the "attention" tag soon. The article preserves much material from a major anon edit in Sept 2003 [1]. This should still be sourced and verified, I hope I can get to that sometime. Also, see Talk:Rig_Veda#Rigveda_or_Rig_Veda; I propose to move the articles on the four Vedas back to Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda, Atharvaveda (on grounds of their being tatpurusha compounds, these names should be considered single words, not appositions). dab (ᛏ) 16:27, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, its was a bit tough to work-around in absence of original Devnagari words, but have used some common Sanskrit grammar rules to figure out what-it-would-had-been :-). Oh well, I'm afraid I already removed the notice! On the naming point, Agree, all the four are spelled as one word in Sanskrit (I'm reading from their book-covers). --rgds.

[edit] Junk giant quotations?

This page seems to have had several giant quotations from the source material dumped into it, obscuring the actual article. Perhaps they should be removed.

Having waited a few days, I (the poster of this question) went ahead and deleted them; I think the article is much better this way. 128.54.44.136 17:25, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
