Birthplace[edit]

The article mentioned that Mahadevi was born at Allahabad. But I believe it was Faroukhabad.utcursch11:28, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC)

Monkhood[edit]

From what I've read in her books Mahadevi Verma was not unsuccessful in becoming a Buddhist monk. She apparently visited Sarnath where a Sri Lankan monk was ordaining Indians but changed her mind when the monk refused to look at her directly (because she was a woman and he had taken an oath of chastity). She considered that an insult to womankind and decided against becoming a monk.

Are you absolutely sure about this? If yes,be boldand add this to the article. I just read somewhere that she wasasafalin becoming a bhikkuni, so I wrote it here.utcursch06:25, Dec 30, 2004 (UTC)

Stamp and award images[edit]

Amkgp,Whiteguru,I note this is now designated a GA and currently on the main page, good work. Two issues, a couple of the non-free images have "n.a." in one or more of their fields. This is not acceptable as for fair use there needs to be compliance with all aspects ofWP:NFCC.If these are not remedied, the images will need to be removed from the article so they can be deleted.

The Rambling ManOK, thanks for raising this, I will take another look at the article, anon. --Whiteguru(talk)09:10, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, it happens quite a lot and I'm not sure the nuances of NFCC are really covered satisfactorily inWP:GA?.It wasn'tsocrucial back in the day, but now GAs get a run on the main page via DYK, we're increasing the exposure of non-free images substantially so we need to get the rationales right.

Whiteguru,The Rambling ManI have updated the n.a. of the images. Thanks —Amkgp💬09:23, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The Rambling ManYou are right, GA reviews got to DYK so quickly! On a more serious note,WP:NFCCdoesn't (currently) get a mention in the reviewing instructions. I'll look into this anon.Thumbs up icon--Whiteguru(talk)05:30, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
