This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The page states that Shri Visvesvaraya was born on 15 September 1861 and died on 12/14 April, 1962. This means that he passed away at the age of 101. However the page says that he passed away at 100 years age.

Please change 100 to 101, in both the info box and under the "Death" section.

Not done: that would be the case if he died on or after 15 September 1962. M.Bitton (talk) 22:31, 30 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

The Romanization of the name 'Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya' is incorrect in terms of usage of phonetic symbols and missing characters. It's Mōkśaguṇḍam Viśveśvarāya. 2409:4060:2DBE:D23E:A8D1:8750:E688:44EA (talk) 06:47, 5 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

By 'Romanization' it is meant 'Moːkśguṇam Viśveśvarayya', which is given in the square braces. 2409:4060:2DBE:D23E:556F:AE0:A5C3:32C1 (talk) 18:48, 14 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Add this sentence to the section describing his premiership: In 1918, at the behest of several non-Brahmin organizations criticizing Brahmin domination of administration, the Mysore Raja Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar created a committee to implement reservations for non-Brahmins in government jobs and education over the opposition of his Diwan M. Viswesvaraya, who resigned in protest. This was copied as-is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservation_in_India - seems relevant here. The source provided there is https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/karnataka/2020/feb/17/reserved-uncertainty-or-deserved-certainty-reservation-debate-back-in-mysuru-2104413.html ~2026-51394-53 (talk) 09:05, 23 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
