OK! Yogesh Khandke (talk) 11:41, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks!

Hi!

On 26 January 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the articles Brahmachari (1938 film) and Meenakshi Shirodkar.

The fact was ... that Meenakshi Shirodkar stunned the traditional audience when she appeared in a swimsuit in the 1938 Marathi film Brahmachari?

Thanks for giving this idea to us. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 04:11, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

You have message

Hello. You have a new message at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Prasad Shrikant Purohit's talk page. —— Mr T 12:53, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

I meant you should check out what Mar4d wrote to you on that page. Also sorry that I didn't include a sign before here. Mr T 08:09, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

We must differentiate between a suspect/ an accused and a convict. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 08:15, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

In this argument, I am on your side. But I think your contentions are worth more in that discussion page. Did you see Mar4d's response? If you don't agree then I encourage you to put a terse comment there. Cheers, Mr T 07:48, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry too late. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 04:31, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Yogesh - it is unsourced, but I think it's also unnecessary unless it's an actual quote. The article already says basically the same thing here: " lost his business, money, home, and ultimately his liberty". Pburka (talk) 23:41, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

As I wrote on your page, making unsourced edits is against my grain, so this one surprises me. You are right, we have the statement you have quoted above, so it is quite unnecessary to have one very similar a few lines down the article. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 05:51, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello

Hi YK, how are you. You don't seem to be very active these days.--sarvajna (talk) 07:24, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Kokani Muslims

Hello,

I was looking up the Kokani Muslims page and see that you have heavily edited the page. Can you please inform me as to why? As I thought it was quite informative in its previous incarnation. I am not sure that the information that you have put, name that Kokni's are mainly Maliki, from my knowledge I have known Kokni's to be predominantly Shafi.

Kind regards

March 2013

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Misplaced Pages about living persons, as you did to Teesta Setalvad‎. Thank you. We cannot call her Communist unless we can quote her saying she is. I also removed her being implicated as that is also a BLP violation unless there are convictions. Dougweller (talk) 17:46, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

I merely summarised: "Teesta and her husband Javed Anand are both committed communists who describe themselves as "very proud of being part of the Left tradition." Also I don't understand the necessity of the formal "March 2013" sub-section title. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 17:53, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

How is that even a violation, they say that they are proud of being part of left tradition, this is an opinion piece written by Teesta and her husband and in the end they write we are both very proud of being part of the Left tradition--sarvajna (talk) 05:39, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

And we could use that as a quote perhaps. But WP:BLP is pretty clear, contentious material needs very good sources. See WP:BLPREMOVE. Does she say she is a Communist? A huge number of people identify as part of the left tradition but are not communists. Apologies that this was done formally, I was tired and took a shortcut. Dougweller (talk) 09:55, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Dougweller you missed answering the key question: I merely summed material in one the sections and put it in the lead, why is material in one of the sections kosher for you and bad as soon as it is placed in the lead? Yogesh Khandke (talk) 15:21, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

One more question from my end as well which you did not answer on the article's talk page, you used a blog as a RS to defend removal. Why was that? --sarvajna (talk) 15:26, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Sarvajna he needs to answer that on the article talk page. I have stopped warring on article pages, so I won't revert Dougweller. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 15:34, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Exodus of Kashmiri Pandits

Hey, YK. I am very surprised, there is no article about the exodus, can you help me? -sarvajna (talk) 18:09, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

We will need to do a little research. How about starting it on your sandbox? Yogesh Khandke (talk) 18:22, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Sure, I will start it in my user space and let you know once I create it.-sarvajna (talk) 18:31, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Reliable Sources

Hi Yogesh, I don't understand. If the truth is not reflected here, what is the purpose of having it here. Who chooses reliable sources? How can one source be called reliable while others be discarded as unreliable? I was dragged into that forum, I had provided my view points in the talk page of the article itself. I really don't understand this, the scientific evidence, observable evidence etc clearly suggest that controversial article over which the argument was happening was clearly wrong. The observable evidence in this case was so obvious that there wont be any need for someone to write it down anywhere. And if someone decided to write down a lie, how could that become a reliable source? Amal89 (talk) 19:41, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Amal89 I thank you for bothering to write to me. Misplaced Pages has rules, but like everywhere it isn't perfect. If you check wp:RS you will have detailed definitions of what a reliable source is and what isn't then you have the Reliable sources notice board in case of a dis-argument, all I say is if something is bothering you, put it on the back burner, if the mistake is really notable, it is bound to be seen by other editors and there will soon be a consensus and it will be notified. Misplaced Pages you see rules by wp:CONSENSUS, plus arguments that are wp:OSE like don't work. Please leave controversial topics alone, and have fun editing else where, keep the article on your watch watchlist and you can contribute positively whenever there is a consensus that agrees with you. Thanks again. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 04:17, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Yogesh, perhaps I should wait until I find a source that also meets the wp:RS. Amal89 (talk) 11:30, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

If possible kindly create your user page too. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 12:07, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Modi

I thought we were doing so well but you've gone off course here with your political stuff again. The edit quite deliberately did not mention Teli because that is a caste and would require self-identification. However, OBC is not a caste but rather an official government designation. If you and Ratnakar do not come to your senses about this dreadfully biassed article then you will find yourselves at ANI again, and with your history it will likely not be a good result. - Sitush (talk) 18:00, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

I disagree with you, however I have as a policy decided not to edit war, I have repeated many times, I have no control over what you do. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 20:40, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

The text says "He has claimed that his family were designated as an OBC", do the quoted sources support this statement? If the article is dreadfully biassed (sic) I don't see what stops anyone from improving it. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 20:45, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

The content was not added by me, I was working on improving it per the source and Ratnakar deleted it three times as I was trying to resolve the issues including by introducing additional sources. That put me on three reverts and then you came along and removed the whole thing. Between you, Ratnakar and the lamp-post, the article has been massively sanitised in recent months, obscuring much of the facets of this man's character and actions that have been reliably reported. I, too, removed some content and toned-down the phrasing of other stuff but in my absence it began to take on the appearance of a Hindutva-favouring gloss-over job. This is precisely one of the issues that has been raised in relation to you two at ANI before now. I'd love to see what would happen if I added that he has been described as a "hard-core RSS leader" by a well-known, Misplaced Pages-notable political scientist who specialises in Indian affairs but, in the interests of fairness, I've left that out for a long time also.

Biassed is a correct spelling, btw - no idea what your "sic" is for, so you'll have to explain that one. - Sitush (talk) 21:35, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

(1) I was unaware that "biassed" was an alternate legitimate spelling to biased, one that I am more familiar with. I read more into it than I should have. My bad. (2)I was reading a recent ANI case, and I just saw an editor being penalised for using the terms "Zionist"... "pro-Israeli"; I wonder when Indians would be afforded the same sensitivity. (3)I don't know why you are creating an association "you & Ratnakar", please don't. (4)I needn't say this, yet you are free to make any legitimate edits, including mentioning Modi's RSS association. The RSS is a legal pan-India organisation, that won't be a BLP issue, and the same can be supported by wp:Rs. Though "hard-core" would be "weasel". (5)I declared on the talk page months ago my opinion that the Modi article was not well written, I have tried to improve it the way I could. If you regard my work differently, you are free to have your views and take appropriate action. (6)You write "The content was not added by me" what do I infer from that? That you have no issue with its removal? Then why did you bring the specific deletion up? Yogesh Khandke (talk) 22:06, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

The lead does mention that Modi has been a member of the RSS since childhood. It is a statement of facts. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 22:33, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
