POV tag added

This article needs sources that comply with WP:RS & also its obvious povs removed.-Bharatveer (talk) 08:18, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Dear Bharatveer, please read the report from NCM, a government entity. You cannot get a better POV. Also, each statemet is refered. Can you please indicate which sources do not comply with WP standard? Recordfreenow (talk) 14:02, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

i believe i've fixed the POV, so i'm removing the tag. if you feel it should remain, please list specifiv pov violations so they can be fixed. thanks. --vvarkey (talk) 09:03, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your efforts. Recordfreenow (talk) 17:21, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Tripping Nambiar - if you feel there is POV violation, please list specific instances so they can be fixed. Thanks. Also, the ref you added does not match the text you added to Christmas violence. --vvarkey (talk) 11:25, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

The article as it stands almost entirely confirms with the views of Christian community. Views of the Hindu community/groups should be added to balance the article.--Vikramsingh (talk) 01:46, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Articles subscribes to WP:RS. I encourage you to include referred and relevant inforomation from reliable sources. Please do not include content from blogs or opinions that are reflecting agendas. We want this article to be a place of recognized facts on the communal violence in Orissa. So this is also NOT a place for debate on conversion issue. Recordfreenow (talk) 02:04, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
The article starts with: This article provides information on communal violence targeted against the Christian community in the state of Orissa, India. Does that look unbiased?--Vikramsingh (talk) 02:43, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Merger proposal

I think this page should be merged with 2008 Orissa violence. It clears up the notability for that article as well. Perhaps a new name can be "Communal violence in Orissa" or "2007-2008 Orissa violence" (albeit the latter might change). What do others feel? Lihaas (talk) 10:37, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Lihaas, I would like to merge but as I am reviewing the information, it is quite clear that the August violence FAR exceeds the December violence. I suggest we merge after a few days to determine the best title. Remember that once you have a new title you lose your search engine standing Recordfreenow (talk) 11:48, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

I think it should be "Communal violence in Orissa". having the year in the name does not make sense anymore. the incident from 1999 should also be included. I hear what recordfreenow is saying about search engines, but not sure that should be out concern. anyways, is'nt it possible for the old title to point to the new page? not sure how that works.--vvarkey (talk) 01:18, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Rename and Merge completed. Naming it Orissa Communal violence was intentional for searches to give this result. Thanks for your cooperations. Recordfreenow (talk) 08:41, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
This article should be re-written in a NPOV . I have added a Pov tag for the time being.-Bharatveer (talk) 07:03, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
Please specify aspects in discussion that do not refer to NPOV. Cannot accept your description without basis. Otherwise, I advise removal of NPOV. Misplaced Pages is not a place for any agendas. State facts relevant to political landscape of India. Thank you very much. Recordfreenow (talk) 07:53, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
