Section on 'Scholarship'

This section could be subsumed under the 'Background and Career' section to achieve greater conciseness. Splashprince 06:09, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Web links to Yesudas songs

There are numerous Internet hyperlinks listed at the base of the article. Can someone please check each of these links to make sure they are valid and functional? Splashprince 06:03, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alert: Superfluous information in photo/info box

Jesudas' name, birthplace, year of birth, and his career description are very easily and clearly found in the article. I think we do not need to repeat it in the infobox where his photo is found. Could you all take a look into this and possibly come to a consensus to remove it for the sake of conciseness? Thanks. Splashprince 05:54, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so. Because deletion is very easy but creation is very difficult.Because It need lot of time and research. But we can modify. I am suggesting some artilces that are given below.Please find it and think how we can modify.

Doctorates awarded to K.J. Yesudas

Has Yesudas received honorary doctorates or has he earned one from research and completion of a PhD thesis? If its only the former, then the use of the 'Dr.' title alongside his name is inappropriate. Splashprince 11:15, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is an honorary doctorate , but that does not make it inappropriate.The reason for including "Dr" in this article is because that he is always referred to as Dr. K.J.Yesudas almost everywhere.Bharatveer 14:01, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for writing back, Bharatveer. It is fine if KJ Yesudas (one of my favourite vocalists) is referred to as "Dr." by most people. The inclusion of Dr. before his name, right at the beginning of the article, however, can be misleading (some, especially people unfamiliar with him, may think he is a medical doctor or someone who has completed a PhD research thesis in a particular field). Perhaps a reference to KJ Yesudas as a Dr. could come later in the article (inserted, perhaps sparingly and tastefully), or could be safely omitted, because \appending a Dr. before his name is not necessary to stress how great KJ Yesudas is (his greatness in the musical realm is assured). Even Albert Einstein (not to mention other scientists who have earned research doctorates) is not grandly proclaimed as Dr. Albert Einstein in articles referring to him (including the Wikipedia entry on him).

I dont consider 'Dr' as a grand proclamation of one's greatness .Bharatveer 04:30, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have inserted "usually referred to as to accomodate the Dr." Bharatveer 14:02, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Very good job done, Bharatveer. Thanks for your apt modification. Splashprince 01:47, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
