A news item involving Ravi Shankar was featured on Misplaced Pages's Main Page in the In the news section on 12 December 2012.
Misplaced Pages
Two Birthplaces?
Intro paragraph says he was born in Narail, which is in present-day Bangladesh, while in the Early Life section it says he was born in Benares, a city in India. I think the fact is that his father was from Narail, and the family was living in Benares at that time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.242.217.46 (talk) 17:59, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
Pundit
The name should be Pundit Ravi Shankar, that is how he is known. There is hardly anybody who ever knew of him as just Ravi Hsnakar (There may be thousands of Ravi Shankar at any given time) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.214.251.14 (talk) 10:32, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
Superb images
The Daily Mail is usually spurned as a source here, but the range and quality of the images they have used in their article here is quite something: . Almost worthy of adding as an external link. Martinevans123 (talk) 23:57, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages policy recommends recent pictures but this should not apply for people who are no more living. In fact for many of them, e.g. Eric Hobsbawm or Claude Levi-Strauss, the so called 'recent images' are obtained just prior of death and of course they look awful. The rule should be skipped also for rock or movie stars - seeing them in old age does not help to understand what their fame was.91.92.179.172 (talk) 15:49, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
I think the image you have now added is a better one. But I'm not convinced by your home-spun advice regarding "rock or movie stars". All this, however, does nothing to lessen the sharp contrast between the dubious quality of the few images we have available here and the wonderful collection published, as a worthy celebration, by the DM.

Anoushka--absurd statement
The article says: "After separating from Kamala Shastri in 1981, Anoushka Shankar was born to Shankar and Sukanya Rajan."
How could Anoushka Shankar have separated from anybody before she was born? Uporządnicki (talk) 19:17, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
Now says "After Shankar separated from Kamala Shastri in 1981, Anoushka Shankar was born to Shankar and Sukanya Rajan", Anoushka's birth is given as 9th June 1981, if you are understandable trying to gloss over a little hanky-panky in the man's life, which is not relevant to his artistry only to a gossip mag , why not remove the whole statement altogether? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.10.206.106 (talk) 15:52, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
Hans Neuhoff material
I see that material by Hans Neuhoff was removed and then readded. I would leave this material out since Hans Neuhoff is non notable. --Malerooster (talk) 14:58, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
He is notable enough to have written an article in a reference encyclopedia. Anyway, there is no wonder that a musician with no strong classical music training can be labelled as having an amateurish use of orchestra...Do you intend to remove any kind of criticism from the article?--Phso2 (talk) 07:03, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
