Hi, I appreciate your efforts to improve the map of Vijayanagara and to provide viewers with the nearest greatest extent of the polity. However, I believe it may not be the best representation. Here are several issues with your map:

1. The inclusion of coastal areas is disputed, as the rival Bahmani Sultanate frequently attempted to control the region, leading to changes in sovereignty over a short period. Hence, It would not be a good idea to include it.

2. The inclusion of Sri Lanka has also been contested by some editors in the past, and the consensus was to remove it from the map. See the talk page archive

3. Graphically, the map is not as appealing as the current version. Aside from Vijayanagara, many areas appear blank.

Also, you need WP:CONSENSUS for adding your map to the article as this is a disputed subject and the current version has only been obtained through consensus.

Spelling mistakes for Bahmani Sultanate

There are five instances where Bahmani Sultanate is misspelled as "Bahamani" Sultanate. I would fix it, but it's currently semi-protected so I can't TheNamesJonas (talk) 04:54, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

Could you tell us where each typo is so we can correct it? AlvaKedak (talk) 15:40, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

"Yadava" is linked to wrong Page

Hello, in introduction Yadava is linked to wrong page - It should be linked to (Yadu_(legendary_king)) of Chandravamsha lineage. 117.215.175.184 (talk) 14:30, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

 Not done request is unclear. In the introduction paragraph, Yadava refers to the Yadava clan, who were an ancient Indian people who believed to have descended from Yadu. AlvaKedak (talk) 16:17, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

A question of the style

In the Architecture section's 3rd paragraph, it says "The Vijayanagara temples of Kolar, Kanakagiri, Sringeri and other towns of Karnataka; the temples of Tadpatri, Lepakshi, Ahobilam, Tirumala Venkateswara Temple and Srikalahasti in Andhra Pradesh; and the temples of Vellore, Kumbakonam, Kanchi and Srirangam in Tamil Nadu are examples of this style." Here, the style being talked about is monoliths, implying the temples to be monolithic. However, that is not true, For example, the Kolar temple has monolithic features but in itself is not a monolith. Therefore, there should be an edit made to remove this misunderstanding.

Synthesis tag

The second sentence of the lead paragraph combines statements of uncontroversial fact with the claim that the brothers were members of a lineage we describe as legendary. I have tagged this for the moment, but absent a fix it will need removal. Vanamonde93 (talk) 17:08, 27 July 2025 (UTC)

@Vanamonde93: This was originally added by a caste warrior sock network and I'll be removing it, we have none the need to feature this cruft. Been long enough. Gotitbro (talk) 03:34, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

I agree. Thanks. Vanamonde93 (talk) 17:17, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
