Fixing the article

First, I suggest reading Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources and Wikipedia:Citing sources. Then outline the topic before beginning the rewrite. Remember that the reader may not have your background and place things in context. For example, don't assume that the reader knows that Lord Datta is Dattatreya, or even who that is. In outlining and in writing, build upon what you have provided to the reader already. In other words, think about what a reader has to understand before he or she can understand the next point. Remember that the point is to explain, not just to state facts but to interrelate them. For example, don't just say that a place is "special", explain why it is special. Avoid adjectives that express an opinion, unless the opinion is attributed to a source, this would include adjectives such as "beautiful", "noble", "famous", and "pretty". Avoid words such as "unique"; it is better to say things such as "This is the only known example of gold-plating on bronze from a 13th Century Mogul artist." and back that up with a citation to a reliable source. Put at least one space after a period. Avoid the use of the words "you", "I", "me", "our" in articles. After you have a new draft of the article, then rewrite the lead paragraph(s) keeping in mind the advice at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section. --Bejnar (talk) 10:00, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

For example, in terms of context, Narayanpur is not just a place, it is a village. It is not in the city of Pune, but in Pune district, approximately 35 km south of the city. It would be appropriate for the reader to know in which tehsil Narayanpur lies. Provide context first, then get into the details. Give the reader the information so that she or he can understand why a fact is relevant to the topic. For example, why is a dham in Madhya Pradesh and another in Kanyakumari relevant in an article about Narayanpur? Did the movement that resulted in their creation originate in Narayanpur? Lay a foundation for the reader. In terms of organization, it might be appropriate for there to be separate sections on each of:

Changadeva
Lord Datta temple
the Audumbar tree
the Narayaneshwar temple. --Bejnar (talk) 10:29, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
