102, 125, 130?

[edit]

Gautamiputra is said in this article to have reigned between 78-102 CE, but also to have been succeeded by his son in 130. Elsewhere Nahapana is mentioned to have been defeated by Gautamiputra in 125 CE. Which of this is right, or are these years all guesses? Soczyczi 07:37, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vikramaditya: a saka?

[edit]

This article erroneously mentions Vikramaditya as a Saka ("Gautamiputra Satakarni also defeated the Saka king[citation needed] Vikramaditya"). Vikramaditya himself is credited with defeating Sakas and starting Vikram samvat to commemorate that event (see http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Vikramaditya). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.168.73.8 (talk) 23:57, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of image depicting Satakarni celebrating

[edit]

The image showing naked women and Satakarni drinking and celebrating is vulgar. The image is just an imagination of a 19 th century artist and it doesn't depict the original situations that existed at that time. It may mislead the readers regarding the personality of Satakarni. There's no evidence that women are treated like that in his kingdom. I request your views on this. Krishna Kaasyap 19:56, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I support removal of the image. I don't think it's "vulgar", but it is not an accurate (or near-accurate) representation of the event it describes. utcursch | talk 20:51, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you utcursch. Krishna Kaasyap 21:22, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Should we wait some more time or can we remove the image now utcursch — Preceding unsigned comment added by Krishna Kaasyap (talkcontribs) 09:07, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
