I would just like to make a simple change when it comes to Shiva's consort. I would like to state Parvati and Sati are not different consorts as Parvati is Sati's reincarnate version. In addition to this, I would to like to state Ganga is not universally accepted to be Shiva's wife. Shiva Puran's Rudra Samhita states only Parvati is his wife.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Assuming you are talking about the consort field in the infobox, the explanatory note there already states that Parvati is a reincarnation of Sati and that Ganga is only sometimes considered a consort.

Request to revert back to the original image used in the infobox for a long time before an unexplained infobox image edit by Srishekans (now blocked for sockpuppeting, and also has tempered several diety infobox images as seen in contribs along with other socks).

Not done for now: Article tagged for speedy deletion (by me), and as of now seems entirely AI-generated. Better for it to undergo human review before it is approved and linked. jolielover♥talk 06:46, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
