Wrong Cast Order[edit]

Anyone please change the cast order in the "Cast" section and "Starring" section. It is completely wrong here. The Correct cast order is somewhat like this 1)Pankaj Dheer 2)Nitish Bharadwaj 3)Mukesh Khanna 4)Gajendra Chauhan 5)Puneet Issar 6)Surendra Pal 7)Girija Shankar 8)Praveen Kumar 9)Arjun(Firoz Khan) 10)Sameer Chitra and Sanjeev Chitre — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArsheyaSagar (talk • contribs) 04:20, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Obvious promotion of Karna. See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1090#LTA sockpuppetry, puffery of Karna of Mahabharata — DaxServer (t · c) 09:07, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, there is no promotion of Karna. Truth is still truth, in this series, the cast order is totally wrongly presented and the lead character of Pankaj Dheer aka Karna is buried at the last. If you won't I can send you the source for my claims. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArsheyaSagar (talk • contribs) 09:46, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, please share the sources — DaxServer (t · c) 09:55, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, there are several websites claiming different order of the Cast. I am sharing the last credits from the show itself not from any site or something. I am giving you the last credits from TV series itself. Here are the last credits of the show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGSO928XrFA&t=5s

You can check the Cast order.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArsheyaSagar (talk • contribs) 09:59, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please note the cast order is determined by MOS:TVCAST guideline. The episode 1 of series 1 shows different order [1]. I haven't yet looked at other episodes how they differ. — DaxServer (t · c) 10:13, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is the first episode and all the main characters such as Karna, Krishna and other have not even entered yet. The video I shared was of the last episode or the closing episode of the series which ordered all the characters of the episode. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArsheyaSagar (talk • contribs) 10:17, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@DaxServerThe first episode does not include the main characters of the epic. The video I shared with you was the closing episode of the series or the last episode. Please I request you change the cast of the series, the lead character Karna seems buried somewhere at the last.

@DaxServer Please respond Dax Server — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArsheyaSagar (talk • contribs) 12:23, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@ArsheyaSagar As I said in the earlier reply, the cast order is set per MOS:TVCAST guideline, not per closing episode or the first episode. — DaxServer (t · c) 13:19, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@DaxServer Then how is the current cast order set? On what basis? Which source? A user Rtyggu disrupted the page and since then the cast order is wrong — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.161.48.81 (talk) 13:37, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This revision, I hope, seems to be one before all promotion started [2] The onus is on you all who wants to make the changes, and not on me, even tho as I said it doesn't depend on the first episode nor the last, but the MOS:TVCAST guideline. — DaxServer (t · c) 13:47, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@DaxServer So what does the guideline say? In this show, the lead role was played by Pankaj Dheer and Nitish Bharadwaj and this is a fact which cannot be changed irrespective of any guidelines but somebody has put Pankaj at the 7th position. That really doesn't make sense! In this promotion war, the lead actor gets buried instead — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArsheyaSagar (talk • contribs) 13:53, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@DaxServer At last what I can say is that restore [3] this revision for the article. This will be better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArsheyaSagar (talk • contribs) 14:11, 8 February 2022 (UTC)/[reply]

I suggest posting at Wikipedia talk:Noticeboard for India-related topics or other noticeboards to get attention from other editors — DaxServer (t · c) 14:27, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@DaxServer Sorry, I didn't get you.. What do you mean?

@DaxServer ?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArsheyaSagar (talk • contribs) 11:36, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The episode list should be put in a table[edit]

Ig it'll be a good idea to put the episode list in a table format like other TV series and shows' ones. Uddhav9 (talk) 15:02, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
