[edit] Name
This city is linked as 'Dwaraka' from the Main Page. Is that a typo? – 86.42.138.61
- The names Dwarka and Dwaraka seem to be used interchangeably throughout this article, a consensus needs to be reached on what the city is actually called. Can anyone with knowledge of the subject please contribute here? – Quoth 00:13, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
- Dwaraka is the Sanskrit form of the name and Dwarka is probably the modern Gujarati version. The latter is most likely to be the official name.--Grammatical error 06:31, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
- I modified the article so that Dvaraka (more accurate than Dwaraka) refers to the ancient city and Dwarka (Dvarka would be more accurate, but the w is used in the official name) to the modern city. Is this a suitable compromise?--Grammatical error 18:40, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citation
I've removed some Sris and Srimads (no honorifics), and some wild association between archaeology and the Mahabharata. You are very welcome to discuss speculations on such identifications, you just need to cite your source every time ("Mr. X connects Y with Z, see reference"). There is more than enough cranky hand-waving on Wikipedia already. dab (ᛏ) 22:43, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
hi, i noticed the last couple of paragraphs are not very grammatically sound. Overall the article is very interestingbut just needs cosmetic modifications. vm
[edit] Quality
I feel that the quality of this article is not up to the mark. And I see the liberal use of peacock terms. Also unverified information such "Even in Tsunami or Earthquake the temple was not destroyed" which looks more like personal admiration put to words should not be allowed. I request the groups responsible to clear the article up.
And to vm, sign the post wioth four '~' as mentioned above. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vijeth (talk • contribs) 09:55, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Improvements
This article needs much work. I have begun revising it, expanding short paragraphs, fixing general mistakes and omissions, and correcting grammar and style errors. It still, however, needs much work before it can move up on the quality scale. --Shruti14 t c s 05:10, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
