Deleted 'question'

I have deleted a 'question' you participated in at the RD as it looks more like an attempt at soapboxing by the OP (who has a history in this regard) then a genuine question. See here for the discussion Wikipedia talk:Reference desk#Removed 'question'. While your response was fine, I don't think anything that useful can come from the question. P.S. this is a bit late but since no one has done it before:

A thread moved from WP:ERRORS

"that according to Hindu mythology, goddess Savitri cursed her husband..." The goddess name is Saraswati, not Savitri. manya (talk) 08:08, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

According to the article, both names are used for the same goddess. Materialscientist (talk) 08:14, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No. Savitr is solar deity, and Saraswati is goddess of knowledge, music and the arts. Check Savitri article that does not even list Saraswati. It lists Savitri of Savitri and Satyavan who is different and well known for that story. manya (talk) 10:18, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As a co-author of the DYK article, I present the explanation. At Pushkar, Brahma's wife is known as Savitri and replaced by Saraswati in other versions of the same legend. Brahma's wife(s) is (are) known by various names in the Puranic scriptures: Brahmani, Brahmi, Gayatri, Saraswati and Savitri being the ones I know.
