Add Savitri parents with surnames to her bio & add right Surname "Nissankararao" to her & remove Chowdhury caste title of her uncle

NissankaraRao Savitri was born to Nissankararao Guravayya & Subhadramma at Chirravuru in Guntur district. Her Surname is Nissankararao & not Kommareddy. Her guardian( elder brother of father) 's Surname is Kommareddy (Venkatramaiah Chowdhury). As per Indian law Her Maiden Surname Should be same as her father & not that of guardian. She belongs to Kapu Caste & & Chowdhury word used for' Kamma' Community. Please remove Chowdhury to avoid "wrong impression that she belongs to Kamma Community". U need not Mention that she belong to Kapu coz she is respected by whole South India for what she achieved & she's above the Caste / Community tag. I have got concrete proofs regarding my version.

To sum up ,, I request following changes to honour "First Lady superstar of Indian cinema"

1. ADD HER PARENTS WITH SURNAMES TO BIO 2 REMOVE WRONG SURNAME OF "KOMMAREDDY BEFORE HER NAME" & ADD NISSANKARARAO INSTEAD 3 REMOVE UNNECESSARY CASTE TITLE " CHOWDHURY" AFTER HER GUARDIAN 'S NAME TO AVOID DISTORTION OF FACTS. 4 IF U WISH TO MAINTAIN CHOWDHURY TITLE THEN ADD A LINE "SHE BELONGS TO KAPU COMMUNITY OF ANDHRA" THANK U FOR CONTACT & Info regarding my version Praveenroyalu@gmail.com NVS Praveen (talk) 15:51, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:V. Just because Jimmy Wales says you should do something does not give you a blank cheque to over-ride the policies and guidelines of the English Wikipedia. He is just another editor (and not a particularly active one). - Sitush (talk) 09:27, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am still waiting for a source to support this. There are plenty of mentions of the December date on websites but the ones I have seen are all unreliable, being mirrors of Wikipedia etc or stuff such as IMDb. I'm retaining the January birthdate per the reliable source that we do actually cite but if someone can produce a reliable source for the alternate date then, obviously, we would need to show both. - Sitush (talk) 11:45, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
