Wouldn't it be more prudent to delete entire history of India before independence and post it under a different article Combined India? It would atleast stop the war in Misplaced Pages over that?
India argues it's India's history and Pakistan, Pakistan's...If only the Pakistanis accept that there was no Pakistan before 1947 and it's just a part of India, both having no right over the unified legacy...
No one has answered my points about Aryans
This is one of the reason's wikipedia is so frustrating. I mean I brought up the issue about Aryan's being mentioend in this article. ANd I guess some of you who control this article don't want more info about the Aryan's mentioned. One user seemed to want facts. So I typed in some facts.....I TYPED IN SOME FACTS......and no one has told me weather they agree or disagree with my facts......So now do you people understand why im frustrated? I mean you want facts, and I gave some facts, and no one has answered me about them. So it's like if I try to put some info about Aryans it will get erased. And when I try to give some facts about why there should be some more facts about Aryan's in this article no one will answer them? ARYAN818 (talk) 18:33, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
- You have received an adequate response every single time Aryan, but you just seem to ignore their advice. You have been told on countless occasions that Misplaced Pages is not based on the truth or facts but is based on Verifiable information contained in Reliable sources. Furthermore, this information has to be presented in a Neutral manner.
- Yet in your posts about Aryans, Swastikas and whatnot, you have not explained where your information can be verified, you have not provided even one single citation to support what you say and you have not convinced any of the other editors here that this glorification of Aryans, etc. is unbiased and neutral. If you don't read the three fundamental policies of Misplaced Pages, which are blue linked above, you will never understand how Misplaced Pages works and will never progress in anything here.

- I have recieved an adequated resposne every single time? Every single time? ARe u sure about that? Go to that other section I created about the Aryan's and there is no response after a while......And im not ignoring their adivce.....I gave SOME facts. I mean on WIKIPEDIA there are information about some of the stuff i've said lol. I mean has anyone bothered to check anything I said ARYAN818 (talk) 21:01, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, here's a problem: you expect us to see every little comment you make when, in fact, sometimes we don't! There's a lot of discussions, so BE NICE and STOP FREAKING OUT. Or none of us will WANT to respond. BlackPearl14 20:00, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HOW FRUSTARTING WIKIPEDIA IS.....One person says to me "you have not provided even one single citation.....and yet.....another user says "Okay, here's a problem: you expect us to see every little comment you make when, in fact, sometimes we don't!".......That is one example of how a person can get frustrated with wikipedia.......You tell me to "BE NICE and STOP FREAKING OUT. Or none of us will WANT to respond".....Well sometimes no one does respond weather im nice or "freaking out". ARYAN818 (talk) 21:00, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
- lol ;) the thing is: right underneath your comment, someone will add something new, and then another person - and we think that your comment is an older one! Here's a suggestion: I would go on Fowler&fowler's talk page and ask him about things you would like entered there. Be sure to provide your own sources, though, because we can't cite wikipedia ourselves. If it's on wikipedia, copy and paste: we're pretty busy people! I hope I helped out ;) I was just saying, instead of acting immaturely like you did, act more mature. BlackPearl14 21:06, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
(unindent) Guys, seriously, don't feed it. AreJay (talk) 21:40, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
- Now you guys understand? I mean I just mentioned how one person told me I dont put any evidence, and yet how another person tells me I expect them to go over all my evidence.....THAT IS A CONTRADICTION PEOPLE AND A VALID POINT........and yet this user says "dont feed it" like im the bad guy?.....THis is one of the reasons why wikipedia can be so annoying.....I mean I just gave a valid point......and this user ignores my point and say "dont feed it".......Hey user did u not understand that two user's gave me a contradiction? ARYAN818 (talk) 17:41, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
If you have a problem with Misplaced Pages, you're free not to edit. Respectfully, please quit with the rants. If you want to do something useful for Aryans, get the Aryan article up to featured status. 18:01, 21 September 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.183.8.123 (talk)
- Thank you!!!!!!! (no, really haha) BlackPearl14 18:13, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
- Why did you say thank you like you just proved some point? What did you prove about me that I am not getting? I mean didn't you and another user give two implications about my not having evidence, and me having evidence? Thank you !! ARYAN818 (talk) 21:43, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
- Both of us told you to provide evidence, as in sources. Which one of us didn't? And Arejay called you a troll because after months and months, you have still not bothered to learn about Misplaced Pages's policies. You haven't even clicked on these links, have you? (WP:NPOV, WP:NOT, WP:V, WP:OR) I think the last one is most important for you because your additions resemble original research more than anything else. Gizza 22:54, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
- THis is really weird how you guys are sooooooo technical that everything has to be sourced. I mean if I America is the name of a country am I supposed to source that to? I mean seroiusly some of the things I mentioned are on wikipedia lol........I mean are you people telling me that there should not be more mention of Aryan's in this article of INdia? ARe you teling me that there should not be more mention of Aryan's in this article? ARYAN818 (talk) 00:07, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, verifiability is the sad part of Misplaced Pages. But don't lose hope. Try this encyclopedia. --KnowledgeHegemonyPart2 16:26, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
- So someone explain to me why there are so many articles on wikipedia that are not sourcing everything? And someone tell me why there are certain things on wikipedia that are allowed to stay in the article with the words ciatation needed, but that can't be done here on India? And someone tell me if there should not be more mention of the Aryan's in this aritcle? And someone tell me why there are mentions of Aryan's in Iran's aritcle but they don't seem to be mentioned in this article? Valid questions. I wonder if someone is going to answer them, or just make me seem like an annoying user? ARYAN818 (talk) 21:44, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
- Aryan, you really need to start reading rather than asking here again and again. Please reer to WP:V, WP:OTHERSTUFF, WP:S etc. --Ragib (talk) 21:51, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
- I wouldnt keep asking if people would answer the question. I mean you have just proved my point that instead of answering my questions you just make me seem like an idiot who keeps asking for no reason. HOw bout just answering what I asked Ragib?....by the way im not being disrespectful by asking this am I o great one? ARYAN818 (talk) 19:08, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
- Well, i was just going to suggest that. Sorry to be blunt, but hi ARYAN818! I find your arguments and edits more naive than annoying. Docku:“what up?” 21:54, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
- O really? Any examples you want to give? Or are you another user who can't admit when im right and making good points? Give me some examples of how my edits are more naive then annoying? (here is another user who can't answer the question) ARYAN818 (talk) 19:08, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
- Aryan, look, the articles that don't have citations STATE, somewhere on the page, that there need to be citations, or, on the discussion page, there will be a dispute just like this one. No, I'm serious. Now PLEASE, start READING the encyclopedia first before posting like this, pleeeeeeaaaasseeee. *end begging session*. Right, point made. BlackPearl14 01:19, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
- You dont understand do you? Some pages, dont have citations, but still KEEP the info there with somethign like CITATION NEEDED. SO why cant that be done here? ANswer the question if you can, right, point made. ARYAN818 (talk) 01:40, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
- This is a featured article. Featured articles must conform to all official wikipedia policies. Consider your question answered. Now, if the article has sentences that require a citation, it can be challenged and removed. Do your homework on the policy links above. If you ask one more stupid question, I'll flag you on the WP:AN. =Nichalp «Talk»= 19:17, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
- Fact template is used to request citation and contents where such request was not adequately met can and should be deleted.
- By the way, could you please propose the information you would want to add to the article with citations. Pls also let us know which section in the article would you want to add it. Docku:“what up?” 19:14, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
- I want there to be more mention of Aryan heritage in India. I mean Aryan's used the swastika sighn (linked to India) Aryan's spoke Sanskrit (linked to India) Aryan's practiced Hinduism (linked to India) Aryan's have evidence of being in India, and according to some information, over 70% of the country is considered Indo-Aryan. And yet people here are argueing with me about this? I mean shouldn't their be more mention of Aryan heritage in India? I mean some people think the Aryan's came from India! ARYAN818 (talk) 01:40, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
- To answer your question on why pages have those citations needed tags, well since you refuse to read up Misplaced Pages policies, see this image and come to a logical conclusion. We won't help you deduce the meaning. =Nichalp «Talk»= 19:23, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
- You know we may be kind enough to allow you to add a few sentence and then the citaion needed tag and we can keep the tag for a few days. But it is still up to you to eventually find the sources because you are the one who added the information. Someone else can do try to do this for you but nobody has to, it is your responsibility. Also, if you found reliable sources but don't know how to them with the correct format, we will gladly help you. Even on non-featured articles, citation needed tags are only temporary so the person can take some time to find and add the sources. If they cannot, the sentence will go. Gizza 02:58, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
- Im not sure how to do the sourcing thing. I was hoping someone can do that for me. My issue is not sourcing everything. My issue is why is there not enough stuff mentioned about the Aryans in India? I mean some of the stuff that I mentioned above about how Aryan's have links with India, you can learn about on Misplaced Pages! ARYAN818 (talk) 01:40, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Why are people still reacting to ARYAN818 (talk · contribs)? Seriously, this section is a waste of screen real estate. Can we make it collapsible or move it to user talkspace? See also WP:DENY. --dab (𒁳) 11:19, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
- If it's a waste of time then don't waste your time here. ARYAN818 (talk) 01:40, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
- Lemme rephrase what this person is saying: your work on this talk page? It's a waste of time. Because you refuse to work with WikiPolicy. Your info is no doubt interesting but do the work. 'Nuff said. BlackPearl14 03:03, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
No actually im willing to work with it. But some of you aren't willing to work with it on me. I had one user on a different page say that I start Frivolous debate's about how things started in India {RAGIB USER}....I had another user say how "This is why no one likes to help you" {Flowanda user}......I had one person on my user page just say "unbelievable" when I asked for examples.......I mean come on......do all these user's seem like there trying to work with me? No!........I mean the examples I have just given you are from different pages, if not this page......I mean I type and type and type and type and type and type and try to be logical and sometime's these are the kind of response's I get. It's like people on Misplaced Pages want it there way, and if anyone else tries to change thing's they just start putting you down. I have given you examples. Now give me an example of how im not trying to work with people. I gave you examples, now give me some. If you can't give me example's then don't make me seem like im someone who is not willing to work with Wikipolicy. I am willing to work with Wikipolicy. ARYAN818 (talk) 18:19, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
References
The Reference section uses the Harvard reference template, which is depreciated. It should be replaced immediately with the cite book templates. I am going to indulge in a few edits to correct this. So do not worry. Thanks, Kensplanet (talk) 17:11, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Photo caption
The photo captioned North Block in New Delhi looks like the Supreme Court (also in New Delhi) to me - please correct me if I am incorrect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.9.227.162 (talk) 05:12, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
No, though the architecture is similar. --KnowledgeHegemonyPart2 14:30, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
- The anon has a point. Unless the picture is taken from the northern end of North Block (the part not visible to public), I'd say we have an investigation on our hands. =Nichalp «Talk»= 19:13, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Population
Did you know, India has the highest population of gay/lesbians? Well it's true! There's an interesting fact to tell people! They have special rights for gay/lesbians that not many other countries have. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Happy olive 123 (talk • contribs) 12:04, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
- With 1.2 billion population, i would expect everything to be high in India (higher number of males, females, children and so on). WP is not a forum unless you want to make a point here. Docku:“what up?” 14:49, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
non proliferation record
Is this really POV? Is there an alternative opinion of India? Docku:“what up?” 13:42, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
- The White House, rather the United States, is not a certifying body on non-proliferation. The White House can say anything, that does not make it a reliable source. IAEA, or similar organizations would be better suited to comment. =Nichalp «Talk»= 15:47, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
