The Ken Parker link is wrong (ie not the italian comic book character but should be the inventor/maker of the Fly guitar).
Where is the proof that Gingger is L Shankar's niece? There are articles claiming she is his niece e.g. http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20070301/news_lz1w01god.html as well as articles claiming she is his "companion" and that they met in Spain e.g. http://www.the-south-asian.com/May2004/lshankarmusic.htm . There is no mention of her on the website "family" page of L Subramaniam (supposedly her father) http://www.indianviolin.com/family.htm
Although his PR guy, Nighttrippa, did not follow the rules and standards, and posted more of an advertisement then anything else, it was correct that "L. Shankar" now goes by the name " Shenkar", as seen in the credits of latter episodes of Heroes. - Lөv ө l 07:42, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Shenkar College of Engineering and Design in Israel is also referred to as "Shenkar" alone. I suggest that Shenkar should go to a disambiguation page. Coughinink 02:12, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Are there any "watchers of this page"? (The last edit goes back to 2012.) "Reggae" needs to be added as an L Shenkar genre. Eg. "Knee- deep in heaters" on the album "Touch me there".
Considering how prolificlly Shenkar has been, I would like to suggest that his dicography should be split into a new article, only keeping his solo albums listed on the mian article and a more comprohensive list of recordings, chart postions etc in the discography article.

Three article tags were placed, because it lacks most needed sources (only a few sources appear for many of the non-common knowledge factual statements), and there are weasel words in almost every paragraph, indicating a non-neutral POV. 19:11, 4 November 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.210.154.39 ( talk)
Here is some before and after text from the article, showing how facts appear that are unsourced, while others appear that are mis-sourced.
HOW ORIGINALLY CITED SOURCE MATERIAL READS:
Quote: "Capable of humming complex lines from ancient Indian compositions by the age of three, he began studying the violin two years later and performed his first public concert at a temple in Ceylon, at the age of seven." [1]

Please see the two long quotes that now appear in the Career section, which, apart from having misplaced citations covering more or less material than is accurate, these two blocks of text were too near to being exact to qualify as a close paraphrase, and so appear here as quotes, with the prose introduction and the placement of the inline citation making clear their source (and other adjacent material not from this source, confounded earlier, now appearing with a citation needed tag).
