More principle Upanishads?
Why is the Shvetashvatara Upanishad not listed as an 11th principle Upanishad? I.e. is there really a hard cutoff at 10? If so, why?

Generally, there are thirteen Upanishads considered principal, as can be seen from the cited references and the general literature on this topic (both scholarly literature and the Sanskrit texts themselves). They used to be all thirteen listed here, but the last three were recently removed. I have added them back, and also added the distinction between the Upanishads associated with the Black and White recension's of the Yayur-Veda, which had also been removed. I'm afraid someone vandalised the page, because the old version was clearly supported by the cited sources, although I don't understand why. I also dont knwo how to report such vandalism, or prevent it from happening again. — Preceding

800 BCE???
This is a very inaccurate number with no proof.
Lord Krishna who lived about 5000 years ago, has referred to Upanishads in His Bhagavadgita.

Mukhya Upanishads →
Principal Upanishads – The main language of Wikipedia is English. It would make the most sense to have the article's name in English, especially if it is referred to within the first line of the article.

Muktikā nos. 30, 13, 59, 12 and 36).
