The map should show the whole Jammu & Kashmir as part of India. It must show whole Kashmir including Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Aksai Chin as part of India. Please replace the map.

The Map is showing 'The Vaidyanath' in Maharashtra whereas in detail it is mentioned 'The Vaidyanath' in Deoghar. Why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.203.155.126 ( talk) 06:27, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
There seems to be some confusion between 2 site. Grishneshwar near Aurangabad, maharashtra and Ghushmeswar near Jaipur, Rajasthan. The table mentions maharasthra while the map shosw rajasthan. Could somebody clarify on this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.41.2.20 ( talk) 12:47, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
Image corresponding of Kashi Vishwanath Temple is wrong. The picture is of Birla Temple AKA Vishwanath Temple (and not 'Kashi Vishwanath Temple') or simply VT at Banaras Hindu University Campus. This needs to be rectified. Mohitsaini29 20:33, 20 May 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mohitsaini29 ( talk • contribs) ≤
the present Nageshvara temple was constructed much later than Aundh Nagnath (which was supposedly built in 13th century), which is evident from their structures. As compared to other Jyotirlinga temples Nageshvara is obviously the most recently constructed, as it is built from bricks unlike the others which have been built from stone. Nagehsvara also does not have a recorded history dating back centuries (while Nagnath and others do).
Here's an article from Times of India Readers' Blog : https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/readersblog/the-right-view/nageshwar-in-dwarka-a-fraud-on-innocent-hindus-14351/, which while not a "credible source" is a traveller's account of the temple.
This news report: https://zeenews.india.com/hindi/india/video/5500-years-old-nageshwar-mahadev-temple-in-gujarat-renovated-by-gulshan-kumar/426049 claims that Nageshvar temple is 5500 years old (a similar claim is also made about the original Nagnath temple in Maharashtra) but more importantly, it confirms that the temple was "renovated" by Gulshan Kumar, the founder of T-Series (a claim made in the blog post mentioned above) and only after that the temple gained prominence. Unlike the other Jyotirlinga temples, there are also no old structures present in Nageshvar.
The Wikipedia article on Nageshvar ( /info/en/?search=Nageshvara_Jyotirlinga#Location_controversy) also mentions the location controversy :
The written name of Darukavana could be misread as 'Dwarakavana' which would point to the Nageswara temple at Dwaraka. However, no forest is in this part of Dwaraka that finds mention in any of the Indian epics. The narratives of Shri Krishna, mention Somanatha and the adjoining Prabhasa tirtha, but not Nageswara or Darukavana in Dwaraka.
Darukavana might exist next to the Vindhya Mountains. It is south-southwest of the Vindhyas extending to the sea in the west. In the Dvadasha Jyotirlinga Stotra (6),[9] Shankaracharya praised this Jyotirlinga as Naganath:
"Yamye sadange nagaretiramye vibhushitangam vividhaishcha bhogai Sadbhaktimuktipradamishamekam shrinaganatham sharanam prapadye"
This could be taken to mean that it is located in the south ['yamye'] at the town of 'Sadanga', which was the ancient name of Aundh in Maharashtra, south of the Jageswara shrine in Uttarakhand and west of Dwaraka Nageshvara.

So I believe the Wikipedia article on Jyotirlingas should reflect the fact that Nagnath has a stronger claim on the Jyotirlinga status as compared to Nageshvar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yuyutsu-69 ( talk • contribs) 14:20, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
There are two Vaidyanath/Baidyanath dham jyotirlingas and depending on verses, they are either in Deoghar, Jharkhand or Parli, Maharashtra. The article is being subjected to POV edits because of that. @ Utcursch: can you hellp with this? - Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 07:56, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Kautilya3 has changed all Jyotirlinga to jyotirlinga claiming these are common nouns. See discussion here. The discussion was initiated to see what their objection was because they made this change on another page. I provided the Jyotirlinga page as an example. However, instead of discussing the matter, they proceeded to make that change all over on this page too.
My view is that Jyotirlinga is a Proper noun because it refers to an invariant number of lingas. Webberbrad007 ( talk) 20:22, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
