A fact from Manasollasa appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 15 March 2016 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the Sanskrit text Manasollasa is a 12th-century encyclopedia covering topics such as garden design, cuisine recipes, veterinary medicine, jewelry, painting, music, and dance?
"and the third king in this dynasty who was named after Shiva" This seems irrelevant there. Do you wanna link it to the prorogation of Shaivism that Kalyani Chalukya dynasty did? It should then be rephrased or placed besides some other context.
Deleted part of the sentence. - NVV
"The number of ślokas in this work is" --> "The number of ślokas in this work are"

What exactly is the name of 3rd section? Bharturupabhigakarana or Upabhogasya?
It is Upabhogasya as given in the table
In that case the prose mentions it to be Bharturupabhigakarana. Fix this discrepancy. If both names are present then mention them both.

Nvvchar: I am okay with your corrections. @
Dharmadhyaksha: I can't find a better MOS:IMAGE compliant, better quality Tandava img. If someone uploads a better img, we should change it indeed. I changed @Nvvchar's img file edit because two Tandava images neither illustrate the article nor were consistent with the caption. We need a Lasya (or Visama or Laghu image) to show the diversity of dance categories discussed in the Manasollasa text.

The image issue was not much grave one. It was just a suggestion. But if you are replacing Lasya with Kathak then do alter the caption as well.
Just like the main title of the book, all the sub-books' names shall also be in italics whenever mentioned throughout the article including subheadings.
Done
These sub-books are mentioned sometimes as "ABCkarana" and "ABC[space]karana". Maintain uniformity.
