	== First female governor ==

	Sarojini Naidu, Kumudben Joshi, Ram Dulari Sinha and Fatima Beevi had also served as Women Governors before, much earlier than Pratibha Patil. Hence, Pratibha Patil was not the first and only woman governor in India.

	== Clemency ==

	I've been having a conversation on my talk page (see ]) about additions to the controversies section. Yes, we've discussed this before. And I still hold that almost all of these alleged controversies need to stay out, usually because there isn't even verification that they are actually a controversy, much less that they are of lasting encyclopedic importance.

	However, one that might possibly be worth considering are her grants of clemency. She has, apparently, granted clemency more often and at a much higher rate than prior Presidents. She also granted clemency to a dead person, thus implying a possible lack of oversight. Two relevant news sources are and (and I'm sure there's more that could be searched up). So, do we think this info should be added to the article? If so, where, and how much? ] (]) 23:17, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

	:A part of one of those sources makes little sense to me: "The large scale of presidential pardons is seen as surprising. That is because India has not yet abolished the death penalty." The oddity is that if India did not have the death penalty then obviously she would not be able to commute it. But perhaps I am misreading something. In any event, it would be handy to know ''why'' she has done this so often; for example, she might be acting to protect India's image abroad vis-a-vis major trading partners such as Europe. I'd be surprised if she pardoned people without giving some sort of reason. - ] (]) 18:52, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Controversy over President Patil's foreign trips

This addition on Pratibha Patil's foreign trips has been reverted several times now by Qwyrxian and Sitush. To avoid an edit war, I'm raising the issue here.

It was originally reverted on the grounds that the image didn't have any accompanying text which was since added. The second issue raised then was that foreign trips are indeed normal affairs and not controversial. When more sources on the matter -that calls it a controversy- were added, I was told "In fact, it wasn't a "major controversy"; it was mentioned a couple of times in a few newspapers, mainly because her political opponents tried to make it seem like there was a controversy when, in fact, it was normal. None of the sources actually indicate that there was any lasting controversy." and while the administrator - who seems very pressed for time - peruses the sources, "Nobody has a right to know anything on Misplaced Pages. Period.".

My issue with the reverts is this: 1) the matter is fully sourced from a range of 8 national media outlets, no less 2) the sources maintain that it became controversial and that the Government of India itself came out clarifying for the President and 3) it is neutrally phrased, giving the official reasoning for why the the trips were necessary or normal and 4) if one particular editor would like to peruse sources but has no specific grievances with the quality or the content of the sources, should the reading public be kept away from such info till such time as the editor concerned finds time to go through it all. Finally, whatever happened to AGF?

I'm beginning to think that the reverts are simply editorial high handedness, the result of unthinking immediatism. I'd like to hear from editors on what they think on this matter and, hopefully, see a restoration of the matter now reverted. Ashwin147 (talk) 10:41, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Please note that I have re-added the information, and worded it neutrally as required by policy. Are you saying that you still object to the new version? Note that you cannot call it a controversy, because the majority of sources do not. Qwyrxian (talk) 12:23, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

User Sitush just left a message on my talk page before reverting this article again.I was amazed to see he was asking me why am i adding controversial text(with references) to congress people only. He now wants this discussion to shift on me getting biased on the innocent congress ministers. I once again want to clarify, i do not endorse any political party and i request all of you if you want to test my neutrality, just reply this message with allegations raised on narendra modi or arvind kejriwal with references. I'll love to add those to their pages.Reverting a genune edit(with reference to each claim) and trying to shift the debate from allegations to a Modi-Congress fight is not expected from wikipedia editers like Sitush.--KakaDesi 05:47, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Controversy sections

Dedicated controversy sections in BLPs has long been frowned upon and there are numerous discussions about this, including at least two relevant threads right on this talk page. Continually attempting to insert such sections is a violation of WP:BLP, WP:DUE etc. If any such incidents are in fact notable, are in fact more than just allegations made by opposition politicians and the press and are in fact verifiable to a standard that complies with WP:BLPCRIME then they should form a part of the whole article, not be consigned to a POV-magnet separate section. This is standard practice and I'm becoming fed up of frenzied attempts to breach it. Take a look, for example, at the Activities section in the current article. - Sitush (talk) 20:57, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
