I have been checking the edits you have made since 15 February and I am quite disappointed with them. For one the section called '''Electoral malpractice''' is full of ] content which would have been better suited under a title of '''''Extent of'' electoral malpractice'''. There is hardly any content which informs the reader about the rigging and the ways the governments rigged the elections and all the other nasty stuff they did with votes (that is content which falls under electoral malpractice), although there is a wealth of information on the way the rigging occurred in the excellent sources you have cited. There is also the problem of too many ]s when ] dictates that they not be used for undisputed content (see Shah case in Amira Kadal). It gets worse in that there is added ] between (even worse) ] and ] sources. where you have synthesized content between a secondary source and an official election commission paper. ] (]) 22:54, 19 February 2018 (UTC) I have been checking the edits you have made since 15 February and I am quite disappointed with them.

: But, guess what, your "disappointment" is not grounds for deleting well-sourced and NPOV content. Your supposed objections are:
:* The section should be called "extent of electoral malpractice". That is fine by me.
:* The actual malpractices should be covered as well. Yes, who would dispute that?
:* Problem with too many ATTRIBUTIONS? Are you joking?
:* SYNTHESIS between SECONDARY and PRIMARY? What exactly? And if there was such SYNTHESIS, what is the problem with it? See ] and ].

Post 15 February edits

I have been checking the edits you have made since 15 February and I am quite disappointed with them. For one the section called Electoral malpractice is full of WP:UNDUE content which would have been better suited under a title of Extent of electoral malpractice. There is hardly any content which informs the reader about the rigging and the ways the governments rigged the elections and all the other nasty stuff they did with votes (that is content which falls under electoral malpractice), although there is a wealth of information on the way the rigging occurred in the excellent sources you have cited. There is also the problem of too many WP:ATTRIBUTIONs when WP:YESPOV dictates that they not be used for undisputed content (see Shah case in Amira Kadal). It gets worse in that there is added WP:SYNTHESIS between (even worse) WP:SECONDARY and WP:PRIMARY sources. See this edit where you have synthesized content between a secondary source and an official election commission paper. JosephusOfJerusalem (talk) 22:54, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Oh boy! You broke my heart. I was so looking forward to your approval and admiration :-)
But, guess what, your "disappointment" is not grounds for deleting well-sourced and NPOV content. Your supposed objections are:
  • The section should be called "extent of electoral malpractice". That is fine by me.
  • The actual malpractices should be covered as well. Yes, who would dispute that?
  • Problem with too many ATTRIBUTIONS? Are you joking?
  • SYNTHESIS between SECONDARY and PRIMARY? What exactly? And if there was such SYNTHESIS, what is the problem with it? See WP:CALC and WP:SYNTHNOT.
I think a mass revert of a dozen-or-so edits based on spurious WP:IDONTLIKEIT reasons is quite crossing the line. Please be assured that you do not have a right to do such reverts. You need to justify that everything you have reverted has a policy-based reason for it. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 03:32, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
