Move to Shasta

Shasta is the proper spelling, Śāstā is IAST. The wiki article is Shiva NOT Siva, whose IAST is Śiva. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 06:04, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Repetition

The last paragraph, "Agent of syncretism," repeats much of what is said in the first paragraph. I think it should be rewritten. I would be happy to do it if so desired. Caeruleancentaur (talk) 15:08, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP:LEAD says we have to summarize from the whole article, what we need to do is improve this from a stub to atleast B grade. There are losts of RS sources. Taprobanus (talk) 03:14, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
