[edit] Ganesh=female?
I always heard of Ganesh as being female, as I was in a Hindu household and saw a very interesting picture of the goddess Ganesh. Can someone confirm this? 96.38.72.252 (talk) 03:09, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

[edit] book promotion
following sentence under Rise to prominence looks more line a promotion of book. Please consider to reframe sentence. Thapan's book on the development of Ganesha devotes a chapter to speculations ...... --Onef9day Talk! 01:40, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of references
Version in question: [1]
Issues:
- Removal of "Possible influences" section: Theories about Vinayakas and Yaksha are repeated in multiple references.
- Temples: Split of the sentence (as in current version) facilities softer reading, then an extremely long list in 1 sentence as in version in question
- Section of referenced "Ganesh Chaturthi" section, which summarizes chief observances of the festival and gives information of its conversion from an family affair to a public extravaganza, as it is today. Worship by Durva, red flowers, red sandalwood and modakas are not restricted to "Ganesh Chaturthi", but are part of any worship of Ganesha. The section in Version in question is unreferenced and has WP:OR and gives WP:UNDUE details about observances. --Redtigerxyz Talk 16:24, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
Why is Tamil script and transliteration required in Infobox? There are more Bengali/Telugu/Marathi speakers than Tamil speakers. Devnagari, the script of Sanskrit, is sufficient and should be the norm for deities in Hinduism. Nmisra (talk) 01:00, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
