Origin subsection removed on 30 June: seeking input
[edit]Hello all,
So, on 29 June 2026 I added an "Origin" subsection to the Legends section, drawing on Eck, India: A Sacred Geography (2012), pp. 317 and 330.
The next day, user Vermont rolled back the addition citing close paraphrasing (diff: Special:Diff/1361796160). Interestingly, the Admin Nthep then reviewed the source text, declined the revision deletion request, and restored the content, writing that it "doesn't read as a close paraphrase of the source as I read it" (diff: Special:Diff/1361856385).
Now, I want to flag this here because content disputes belong on the article talk page, not on personal user talk pages. Starting that discussion here is the reason for this post. I also want to note that I replied to Vermont on my talk page with an apology before I had fully understood what had happened, specifically that Nthep had reviewed the same source and reached a different conclusion. Since the two users disagree, it would help to know which phrases Vermont specifically felt were too close to the source. Happy to hear from others on this too. I am here to learn the best practices from the Wiki community! MethodsUser (talk) 14:10, 16 July 2026 (UTC)
