SivaPurana refs in tIrTa entries : Should they be SkandaPurana? #125

Closed funderburkjim closed 1 year ago

funderburkjim commented 2 years ago

In several comments in #121, (first comment), the question was raised whether numerous MW references to SivaPurana should be replaced by Skanda Purana references.

These questions particularly relate to tIrTa entries; e.g. there are 57 entries in mw.txt matching regex tIrTa.*<ls>ŚivaP., and all these perhaps need to be changed to 'SkandaP.' references.

There is also a slightly different question as to whether the 6 MW references ŚivaP. Rev. should also be corrected (to refer to SkandaP.)

The suggestion is that MW propagated errors from one or more sources.

If we decide to 'correct' these errors, then we may wish to extend the current markup system for MW to more helpfully identify the 'old' and 'new' text involved in the correction. Such markup extension could also have application to other 'corrections' in MW, including both corrections mentioned in the Supplement and corrections identified in the Cologne document 'mw_printchange.txt'.

Agree.

As I am quite sure of the correction, incorporated this in my review now.
