- It is reasonably well written.
- Lead is well scribed, a good introduction.
- We have Saviour in the headings and savior in the text. Can we settle on one spelling?
- Good to see the reference to Monier-Williams!
- 'law of the fishes' and dharmic protection: a good line. A good capture in reference 21.
- fish-Agni is a good statement as Agni is the oldest and first deity to be worshipped in vedic rituals.
- Hayagriva, yes. Hayagsiras is not a term I have come across before. What's the source?
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
- I'd like to see a distinction (possibly in the form of a note) between the 'laws of the Man' and the Laws of Manu - as Manu is frequently mentioned in this section. This is to ensure your reader is not confused.
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- The article follows an appropriate order: Vedic origins, saviour of Manu, Saviour of the Vedas, Avatar lists, other scriptural references, Iconography, Evolution, Symbolism and Worship. In this wise, there is a good flow in this article.
- There is a sharp, succinct summary of the various flood myths. Well handled.
- cosmogonic myth: evolution to involution to evolution again in a new manvantara. A good summary of the underlying connectivity and divinity of Matsya narratives.
- Interesting reference to the Meena community. Was not aware of this connection.
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Yes, NPOV is preserved in this article.
- There is a balance between exegesis of the mythology and relevance of the mythology to Vedic culture.
- It is stable.
- No edit wars, etc.:
- Page created 7 October 2002
- Page has 765 edits by 309 editors
- 90 day page views = 42,019 views with a daily average of 462 views
- Page is stable, ClueBot NG, AnomieBOT, IA Bot and Citation bot have all been on the page.
- Majority of edits on page occurred during 2020.
- It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
- a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
- 10 Images on page.
- Images are appropriately licensed and tagged.
- Overall:
- For one who is familiar with Hindu mythology and the Dasavatars, this is brilliant and fast read; you don't trip up anywhere reading this.
- The presentation of the multiple sources for Matsya is well laid out with explanation and background.
- Good work on the references.
- Some minor matters and questions that we might clean up? Thank you. --Whiteguru (talk) 08:39, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
