Hello,

Greetings. This is Dr. Venkat Korada. I created this page and am still continuing to add it to the page.

I received a suggestion to add more citations and references to this page and fix grammar and consistency issues. I fixed the issues to my best and now I would like to remove the message template at the top.

Could someone please kindly help me with this. If additional issues are still present, please let me know.

Thank you and with kind regards, Dr. Venkat Korada

Hi @Venkat2021, thanks for adding more citations. I see you contacted another editor at User talk:Gazal world#Korada Ramachandra Sastri. He was alluding to Wikipedia's Verifiability policy; ideally, every statement should have a supporting citation, typically at the end of the sentence, or if there are multiple sentences or a paragraph referenced to the same source, at the end of the sentences or paragraph; see Wikipedia:Citing sources#Text–source integrity, which explains the rationale of keeping citations close to their supported statements so that readers can easily verify statements or access further reading.

I admittedly have a high standard for citations; I try to attribute every piece of information to a reference, which can be hard to do after writing the content because you've forgotten where you got it from. I personally would keep the templates for now, because the bottom half of the Works section doesn't have any citations. There are also some aspects of formatting that don't quite meet Wikipedia standards, so I'd keep the copyediting tag; you can look at some other articles, such as those featured in links from the Main Page, to see examples of what we aim to do. I don't intend this as a personal attack. It took me some time as well to learn all the guidelines. The message templates draw attention from other editors as well to help. – Anon423 (talk) 15:55, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, is there a reason for the particular numbers of the works? If there isn't any particular significance, such as chronological order, I think that should be an unordered (bulleted) list instead. – Anon423 (talk) 16:07, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @ Anon423, thank you for your kind suggestions. I removed the books from the list that do not have references and added themes for the ones that are available. I greatly appreciate your feedback. Thank you! Venkat2021 (talk) 16:08, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
