Revert
You reverted me saying "unsourced edits". What part of that edit did you think was a change of substance that needed new refs? I thought it was just copyediting. LeadSongDog come howl! 18:48, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- Correct it wasn't a substance change, however, I don't think it helped improve the article therefore I reverted your edits. I believe there wasn't anything incorrect with the grammar or English the way it was written. Apollo1203 (talk) 19:33, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- In future, please try not to use misleading edit comments. It undermines good faith editing. Now, item by item:

1. I downcased a ref title from "A New Face of Hinduism: The Swaminarayan Religion" to "A new face of Hinduism: The Swaminarayan religion" as is the normal practice. I trust that was not objectionable.
2. I corrected an anachronism from "Pramukh Swami Maharaj" to "Patel", as he had not yet taken that name.
3. I removed the recent addition of the ambiguous "Yogiji Maharaj" used to indicate Shastriji Maharaj.
4. I corrected the redundant use of "Pramukh Swami Maharaj" for the second time in a single para.
5. I used more succinct phrasing, avoiding repetition of the article title, and corrected tense.
6. I corrected the misattribution of effort by BAPS as a whole to its leader.
7. I used more succinct phrasing, avoiding repetition of the article title.
8. I downcased another ref title.
Which of these do you consider not to be an improvement in the copy? LeadSongDog come howl! 20:29, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
