* '''Why it should be changed''':

Planet labs did not conduct the analysis of the imagery, it provided the imagery and reuters (along with experts they asked) did the analysis. I think it's not that important who provided the images, so I've just replaced that part by "Reuters".

No change to the references is necessary.

Non-neutral language in lead

Today, I replaced an existing citation with another one and changed the lead wording from existing "India claimed that a Pakistani F-16 fighter jet was downed, but that claim has been debunked" to "India claimed that a Pakistani F-16 fighter jet was downed, but that claim was denied by Pakistan". But my edit was reverted by Slatersteven. I wish to ask him if there really exists a universally accepted agency which can "debunk" such claims made by nations during conflicts. I checked the cited American journal hoping to see something concrete but found that the quote in question was just a passing comment from author Daniel Markey (no expert on military topics) citing a Washington Post report. This WP report is itself based on a Foreign Policy report which claimed US counted Pak's F-16s; Pentagon later said that they aren't aware of any such count. So the "Foreign Policy" report remains "disputed" as we still don't know if any such count took place or not. Its better to present things as they are. We have nothing substantial to "debunk" Indian claims of downing an F-16. What we are left with are claims and counter-claims from both the nations. The present version of lead is not in compliance with WP:NEUTRAL, WP:LEAD and WP:ATT. Hence, the change is must. Dympies (talk) 17:56, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

I have restored the WP:STATUSQUO, back to the phrasing that has been in the article since March 2019, and thus soon to complete six years. You attempted to change it, but were reverted by user:Slatersteven who has been watching over this The WP:ONUS (which is WP policy) is yours to make the case that the phrasing needs to be changed, and to garner a new consensus for it I have added two more sources. If you edit war again, I will first soft ping some administrators and eventually post on their user talk pages. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 01:49, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
No there is not an agency but we do by what the bulk of neutral (I.E. not party to this war) RS say, as there are plenty of sources that say the claim has been debunked. none (as far as I know) saying it is true. Slatersteven (talk) 13:13, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
All sources saying Indian claims of F-16 were debunked revolves around the dubious "Foreign Policy report" which claimed US counted Pak's F-16s. But Pentagon said it isn't aware of any such count..Dympies (talk) 18:50, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
The Eurasian Times, @Dympies: is not a reliable source. Please don't lower the discourse here by citing "private Indo-Canadian" ventures. We have found serious scholars stating in books published by university presses (Cornell, Oxford, Michigan) and defence and military analysts writing in Asia Policy, Foreign Policy and the Washington Post, that India's claim about downing the F-16 has essentially been debunked. If you keep arguing in this manner I will have no option but to report you to administrators. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 15:15, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
Whether its the Washington Post article , Asia Policy journal or any other source recently added by you, all point towards the Foreign Policy report. So, there is no need to create a citebomb in the lead. And when you give too much emphasis on Foreign Policy report, please do mention that Pentagon said it isn't aware of any such count, which makes the entire report dubious. Dympies (talk) 19:01, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
No they don't; the point aplenty to the Indian evidence not being credible. They point aplenty to India's frenzied media culture wading in a tide of wishful thinking. They point aplenty to Indian journalists, working overtime to imagine any which so scenario to explain away any which so uncomfortable fact. The DoD confirmation was just the icing on the cake. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 20:42, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
And it wasn't just the Foreign Policy article, @Dympies:. No less an expert than Sir Lawrence Freedman found the Indian claim to have been discredited by the absence of the required DoD announcement about the loss of an F-16—required by US law, that is. He and Heather Williams are cited in the lead. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 20:51, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
Is this DoD announcement required in case of F-16s bought by Pakistan from Jordan? I am not sure about it. There have been reports that Pakistan bought 14 F-16s in 2014 from Jordan but quoted only 13 in its official statement.. The Diplomat did notice this confusion over the actual numbers. Dympies (talk) 06:31, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
I'm sorry I did not click on your links. Sir Lawrence Freedman is a highly reliable source for me. I don't get into chat room conversations. Apologies but that's the nub of it. Best wishes in your endeavors on WP. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 11:58, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
As for your "source," a story in the Hindustan Times produced verbatim by a source in Sioux Falls, South Dakota attempting to be third-party, is still Hindustan Times, not third-party. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 21:22, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
The original source of information is Hindustan Times. But you can't say no such talk happened between Pentagon officials and them. When this "not aware" thing was widely published in the Indian media, Pentagon never denied it. Dympies (talk) 03:34, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
PS Journalists in South Dakota don't say "Pak" for "Pakistan" for one in story titles. It was a dead giveaway. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 21:35, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for improving the sourcing, F&F. I'm a little concerned we have too much detail in the lead now; how the US DOD arrived at its conclusions definitely belongs in the body, IMO. Can we shorten it to something like "... a claim rejected by independent military analysts", with the details in a footnote or in the body? Vanamonde93 (talk) 16:19, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
Hello @Vanamonde93: It does have detail but its sentences are highly summarized, given that I agonized aplenty. They have many quotes in the accompanying citations. If someone can use the quotes to write an expansive version of these sentences in the main body, then a true WP:SS summary can result. I trust you to do this, but I don't know how much time you have. Would you like to have a go?
But I don't like it when people move the longer bits to the main body, but don't expand them further there in order to elbow out the prevailing gunk. And gunk there is: in this instance the legion added by the Indian media and India's newfound WhatsApp culture to the world of factoid, epiphany, rumor, and dreams. Already in the nearly six years since early 2019, their emanations are the data of anthropology and psychology treatises (witness: Matthews and Robertson's Theorizing the Anthropology of Belief: Magic, Conspiracies, and Misinformation, 2024.)
Slatersteven and I have managed to save the third-party sources in the lead from consorting with the jingoistic battle-cries, but it has required determined vigilance, especially on the part of SS.
I've stayed away from this article, but ended up here, I'm not sure how or why, and found new sources, more reflective, looking back at 2019 and thought about adding them. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 20:27, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
Today, I do not have the time. Perhaps I will soon, but I can make no promises. Vanamonde93 (talk) 21:01, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
I hope you do. Thanks. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 21:23, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
