Hello, the line 'Most compositions are in Kannada and Tamil, with a few in Telugu, Malayalam and Sanskrit.[5]'is making a complete misunderstanding in the entire carnatic music and telugu community. The majority of the carnatic compositions are in telugu language, and I'm not sure why here this was misinterpreted. The trio of carnatic music are from telugu language community. The great Annamacharya, Tyagaraja, Shyama Sastri, Ramadasa, Mysore vasudevachar, Sadasiva brahmendra, and many more whose keertanas are being performed at the majority of carnatic festivals and these are in TELUGU Language. So, how it was mentioned that 'few in telugu'? Please replace this phrase on a priority basis. 124.123.172.49 (talk) 04:50, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Highway 89 (talk) 16:36, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please find the relevant information in the below articles.

List of Carnatic composers - Wikipedia

If you could observe the links above and in particular the list of carnatic composers languages section, you can see how many 'TELUGU' language compositions are available and the composers. I again request to change the above language to Telugu first so that it will not get misguided. Raghu0007128 (talk) 07:22, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,. Waiting for the response Raghu0007128 (talk) 18:44, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Team, I've provided you the required sources. Can you let me know what's causing the delay in updating the data here ??? Raghu0007128 (talk) 14:55, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for updating the correct information regarding language correction Raghu0007128 (talk) 06:37, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disruptive edits

@ C.Fred. Please check the edits by CatTheMeow on this page. Not only did he not provide a single source to back up his claim, but actively removed content which has been cited from multiple independent academic sources (both Indian and western). Clear case of disruptive editing. Reo kwon (talk) 10:02, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The source nowhere mentions the claimed information in the article CatTheMeow (talk) 10:45, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@CatTheMeow, @Reo kwon: The source that seems central to one of the edits doesn't seem to support anything in the related paragraph. We may need a deeper discussion about how much material is unsourced and in need of removal. —C.Fred (talk) 18:31, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Vijaya Ramaswamy does mention Telugu predominating in the evolution of Carnatic music. Another one mentions that most compositions are in Telugu and Sanskrit. That is what is written in those sentences. Reo kwon (talk) 06:14, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
