`   Ism, I completely agree with you that Flood is a very good reference and have myself used on on several Hinduism related pages. Wikidas added it to this article to support the following statements: :* ``This concept has ancient roots, that is believed by some to have predated formation of some current major traditions of Hinduism.`` using the quote,  :* ``Early Vaishnava worship focuses on three deities ... Pancaratra sect.`` My question is: does the quote support (i.e., verify; not reinforce etc) the above statement ? The larger point I am trying to make is that the article content should be written/modified to reflect reliable sources (such as Flood's book); it is not proper to simply write down our POV and then just hang references willy-nilly. Wouldn't you agree ?  (PS: There is also the issue that the statement in the article is hardly informative because it is not clear what ``this concept`` refers to, and due to the weasel qualifiers ``believed by some (?)``, ``some (?) current (?) major (?) traditions``; but right now I am more concerned with misrepresentation of sources than crisp writing - since the latter is  not a sign of editorial misconduct on wikiepdia.)    `
