Orphaned references in Gujarati literature

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Gujarati literature's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "eth":

From Bengali language: "Statistical Summaries". Ethnologue. 2005. Retrieved 2007-03-03. {{cite web}}: Unknown parameter |rank= ignored (help)
From Sindhi language: Sindhi language at Ethnologue
From Gujarati language: Gordon 2005

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 13:13, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Help!

Can somebody help me find an editable version of the first paragraph of this article? It needs copy editing, but does not appear on the "Edit" screen for some reason. Thanks in advance. --Remotelysensed (talk) 17:38, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reformist Era & Scholar Era

The writers, listed in 'Reformist Era', like Govardhanram Tripathi, Ramanbhai Nilkanth, Narsinhrao Divetia, Kant and Navalram Pandya are actually belong to 'Scholar Era'. While Narmad, Dalpatram, Mahipatram Nilkanth etc. are belong to Reformist Era. Though both era are intermixed with each-other, there are a little difference between them. Also, the both sections don't focus on the activities of writers and their aims of writing. So, We should rewritten both section with suitable references.

One other thing I notices is that, 'Scholar Era' or 'Govardhan Era' is also known by 'Manilal-Govardhanram Era', named after Manilal Dwivedi and Govardhanram Tripathi. The current section of 'Scholar era' does not mention Manilal. -Gazal world (talk) 06:57, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gazal world:. Well, the Eras overlap. The writers cited above should be recategorised as you suggested. I think that naming eras after people is somewhat problematic and injustice to the other notable people of the era so we better title it as Scholar Era. There is a need of better title instead of Gandhi Era as well. I want to rewrite whole article when time comes. :) -Nizil (talk) 06:31, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
