Talk:Petlawad explosion

Article name

Article name should be 2015 Petlawad explosion, the place where actual blast has happened. Name 2015 Jhabua explosion gives misinformation at first because explosion has not happened in Jhabua. Petlawad is 38 KM away from Jhabua. Something happened in Jhabua district doesn't mean that we should give name of Jhabua to it. If any blast happens in Baramati (in Pune district) then we don't write name of article as "Pune Blast" because name "Pune Blast" gives first impression that blast is happened in "Pune city", same way this article gives first impression that explosion took place in Jhabua city. --Human3015^TALK  18:31, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

Moved and removed the year as well, Mistakes do happen. We are, after all, Just Human. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 19:21, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

FYI, I have created a redirect at 2015 Petlawad explosion. 220 of ^Borg 06:25, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. I totally forgot to do that. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 06:34, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Date format

An editor has changed the DMY date format to MDY formats. [1]. Just advising here in case anyone objects. I really don't care, but when queried the editor says:

" .. it's in American English now, and if you want to change it, you need broad consensus."[2]

Pinging interested/directly involved parties. SuperCarnivore591 and Rsrikanth05. 220 of ^Borg 05:56, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Adding The Rambling Man per their edit here. I hope this doesn't violate wp:CANVASS, that is not my intention. 220 of ^Borg 06:16, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Wasn't consensus required in the first place to change it to American English? What sort of nonsensical bias is this? I am objecting to this and changing the format and the English style. If it can go from Indian to American without consensus, then it can be reversed without consensus. Also pinging: @Dharmadhyaksha, Titodutta, Vensatry, and AshLin:. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 06:23, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

(edit conflict)I would have thought so. In their defence, SuperCarnivore591 is a relatively new editor. (13 weeks on WP) 220 of ^Borg 06:29, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

• Note that I have informed them [3] of this discussion, but I think they may be off-line now. 220 of ^Borg 06:33, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

• I can not understand why American English should be used here. British English and Indian English bot use DMY structure. --Tito Dutta (talk) 06:26, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Did Americans do the blast? In that case we can debate which format to use. Or else just stick to DMY if America has nothing to do here. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 06:28, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Relatively new editor is a great defence, but one look at their talk page says it all. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 06:31, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

I didn't spot that they previously added an American English template to this page.[4]. :-/ 220 of ^Borg 06:42, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Which, when you first look at it, is weird and funny. One line, you have Wikiproject India, next line it says American English. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 06:47, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Having been pinged, I am just a little surprised that an American editor can just decide to change the dates, with the excuse "it looks better that way" and then "it's in AmEng now, so you need a broad consensus to change it". Glad it's been remedied. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:20, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Yes, a little less than ideal collaboration. However, it seems that the bold, arbitrary format change has been undone, and hopefully everyone will be happy with the way the page is. I hope SuperCarnivore591 is Ok with it too, as the consensus, and normal WP practice certainly seem to be 'against' their edit. 220 of ^Borg 07:29, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

It also seems like there is general consensus to keep Indian English. I doubt SuperCarnivore591 will be happy, but their reasoning to MDY dates look better and that Petlawad doesn't exist was stupid and lacked a proper reasoning. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 07:33, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

I have no problem using Indian English SuperCarnivore591 (talk) 09:05, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Then why did you change it arbitrarily and then state that consensus would be required for it to be undone? --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 14:36, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Alleged BJP connection

An IP 14.139.128.20 keeps adding that Rajendra Kasawa has connections with the political party of BJP. This source (Indian Express) used in the article clearly states that the connection is "alleged" by Congress and that BJP has denied it. I have reverted the IP twice and have asked them to come to talk page. The source which IP is using (India Samvad) also calls it a "dubious connection" and uses phrases like "locals say". In such case it seems that claims should be presented as claims rather than facts given the WP:BLP nature of dispute. Or not? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 09:21, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Unless there i clear evidence, it is a violation of WP:BLP. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 14:36, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Rajendra Kasawa not dead, but arrested (or not)?

According to some sources, he did not die, but was arrested a few days after the blasts. According to others from later, he was still at large. Can anyone do some more digging?--Drat (Talk) 13:52, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
