Why is the name of this Upanishad in italics? I have not seen others in italics.
This matter was discussed in the
WT:DYK and it was decided that the name of the article should be in italciis. Please see here
[1].
Remove the Yoga Upanishad link if it is a redlink, instead you should explain a bit about it.
There is no article yet on this. Removed the redlink
Colebrooke and Narayana need links or identification
Will add soon
I moved this to main, as it felt undue in the lead, explanation on Narayana more so. Little is known about Narayana. He likely lived sometime between 14th- and 17th-century, we know his father's name, and that while South Asia was torn with invasions and a period of political instability, he was busy saving, compiling, studying and writing his views on the Upanishads (and some other texts). His collection of top 52 Upanishads have been useful, though there is evidence he apparently collected a much larger number of manuscripts. Identification of Narayana in the lead, given the sketchy information we have, will distract the focus of the lead from subject of the article. In the main, I added a link for Colebooke and a bit on Narayana with source. - MSW
As expounder of Vedanta philosophy, "As an/the (as is appropriate to the subject) expounder of the Vedanta..."
Added "an"
starting with the syllable Om Looking at its significance in Hinduism why not say "sacred Hindu syllable"?
Qualifying it could be controversial. However the linked aricle
On states that.

Suggestion : @
Nvvchar: This is an excellent article that describes each facet of its topic in a beautiful language (not being flowery or biased). I even felt a subtle attraction to the topic because of your emotionless yet lively description. I suggest you take this to FAC, it will surely succeed. This must be one of your most excellent works here.
@
Sainsf: Thank you for the detailed, specific comments. Very helpful. @
Nvvchar: I am done with my edits. I also added who Ayyangar is, etc in the spirit of @Sainsf review, as I went line by line. Some sentences felt unclear, so I reworded them after checking the sources. Have another look, and if I missed something please fix, if I made it worse please revert.

Rudrasharman: Why did you link upasarga (yoga) here? This article does not even contain the word upasarga. Wikipedia seeminlgy contains no explanation for
upasarga (yoga) so why even have a redirect for it, especially to this article? If you want the redirect, add an explanation of upasarga to the page. Otherwise I will delete the redirect.

Because the upanishad has the term. It refers to the troubles and afflictions that the yoga practitioner has to avoid or overcome.
Google it if you're curious. This redirect is from a gazillion years ago, back when I might have summoned the energy to expand on the placeholder. Now I don't care. (shrug).
