Re: Jammu and Kashmir

edit

Hi there, thanks for notifying me. Actually I noticed that edit which removed a paragraph from the head of the article, but didn't mind as the article seems more balanced without it. The paragraph in question, in my opinion should be somewhere below. However if you feel it is better this way, then it's fine with me.  S3000  ☎ 18:49, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Kashmir Conflict

edit

  Hi!

Recently you came on my talk page and left a message in which I consider a threatening and offensive tone. It seems you have not read Wikipedia's policy of no personal attacks since you seem to be more interested in getting me banned rather than my reasons for reverting your edit.

My reasons for reverting your edits are the following:

  • Deletion of information without reason
  • Inserting new information without sources
  • Editing existing information that does not conform to NPOV

I shall go through each of your edits that controdict the listed reasons

"Kashmir decides to remain independent."

Where is your source?

"September,1947:The maharajah begins to drive out Muslim Kashmiris from Kashmir.

Why was this deleted?

"1947/1948:Indian troops enter Srinagar. Indo-Pakistani War of 1947 commences."

What source says Indians troops entering Srignar started the war of 1947?

"1989: Armed militancy begins in Kashmir resulting in mass exodus of Hindu Kashmiris."

Mass exodus? Your use of this term is a violation of NPOV besides that fact there is no source

"February 1999: Lahore Declaration is signed. "

Reason for removal of content is...?

"February 5, 1990:Solidarity day is observed throughout Pakistan and Azad Kashmir for the alleged massacres by Indian armed forces..."

Reason for removal?

"May 2, 2003:India and Pakistan restore diplomatic ties; cease-fire is declared."

Source for a declaration of a cease-fire?

Unless these problems are addressed, there is a valid premise for reverting your edits. And also remember, don't use an offensive tone before knowing the facts. Thank you. --→ Ãlways Ãhëad (talk) 03:22, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Another note, feel free to go through Wikipedia's policy on edit warring.--→ Ãlways Ãhëad (talk) 03:28, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I see you have failed to read what I have suggested. Sources were not the only problem. I do not need to add a fact template. Since you have failed to read Wikipedia's policy on unsourced material, I shall suggest you read that. Now, unless my concerns are addressed, I have a pretext to revert. If you however continue to revert without addressing my concerns, you are the one edit warring which I remind you is a ban-able offense. --→ Ãlways Ãhëad (talk) 20:46, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I find it a bit humorous that you copied and repeated my own words and used them at me. But to get to business:

1989:Armed militancy begins in Kashmir resulting in displacement of 300,000 Hindu Kashmiris.

You falsely cited CIA's World FactBook. The source does not state that the insurgency is responsibly for the displacement of people.

"September 24, 2004: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and President Musharraf meet in New York during UN General Assembly." "September,1947:The maharajah begins to drive out Muslim Kashmiris from Kashmir." "February 5, 1990: Solidarity day is observed throughout Pakistan and Azad Kashmir for the alleged massacres by Indian armed forces. (While occasional shootouts and excesses by the Indian Armed paramilitaries have been documented there is no independent account of massacres)."

Your reason for deleting this?

"December 2001:Attack on Indian parliament in New Delhi by Kashmir resulting in 2001-2002 India-Pakistan standoff."

Its a great fact knowing that Kashmir attacked the Indian Parliament.--→ Ãlways Ãhëad (talk) 21:42, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Kashmir conflict, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Also do not remove content that is under discussion. → Ãlways Ãhëad (talk) 20:56, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Kashmir conflict. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. --→ Ãlways Ãhëad (talk) 21:03, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Please refrain from making personal attacks. Thank you. --→ Ãlways Ãhëad (talk) 02:56, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
I shall again refer you to Wikipedia's policy of no personal attacks. By using the term "Pakis" you are violating that policy politically and through affiliations. --→ Ãlways Ãhëad (talk) 03:12, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Russian and Indian economies

edit

If you check the the numbers, you will see that on most economical measures Russia has a larger GDP than India, such as nominal GDP. As nominal GDP represents total market value, it is most frequently used when talking about superpowers. India has a larger PPP GDP, but Russia has a much higher per capita GDP than India in both categories. Overall, Russia has a higher HDI index. Your statement that India has a higher GDP than Russia is accurate in only a narrow sense and based on a single GDP calculation. --71.112.145.211 (talk) 04:50, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

India is way ahead of Russia in terms of GDP (PPP) (see List of countries by GDP (PPP)) and just behind Russia in terms of GDP (nominal) (see List of countries by GDP (nominal)). We are talking over here national economies and not just economy from per capita perspective. Also, India has a higher GDP growth rate than Russia (see List of countries by GDP (real) growth rate) and according to BRIC report, India's GDP (nominal) will be four times that of Russia's by 2050 and that is a very important factor considering this is an article on potential superpowers. --AI009 (talk) 05:05, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
India is not way ahead of Russia, Russia is way ahead of India. Everything in India is Russian suchs as military arsenals, rockets, missiles, fight jets, commercial jets, ships, subs and etc. Russia is a superpower and India is not quite a superpower. There are many reasons why Russia is a superpower and that is a long discussion. Russia is the number military forces in the world and the worlds largest military arsenal builder. India is a big population and smart people but Russia is has unique things about it that India hasn't. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.129.197.69 (talk) 07:57, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
The bigger issue here, however, is those little bar charts. You can provide your input in this new post I've started Talk:Potential_superpowers#Bar_charts.--71.112.145.211 (talk) 05:11, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism

edit

this action here is considered vandalism. A consensus had been reached to name the page. Please refrain from unilaterally moving the page again without proposing a move. --Zer0~Gravity (Roger - Out) 02:38, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

If sticking to a Wikiproject guideline is considered vandalism then you need to familiarize yourself more with Wikipedia's rules mate. --AI009 (talk) 09:50, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Exactly it's a guideline not a rule, there are exceptions to the guideline, even the project mentions it. There was a consensus on the name and my point here is that you are trying to ignore the consensus and impose your personal interpretation mate. --Zer0~Gravity (Roger - Out) 10:24, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Firstly, that consensus you are talking about was reached by only two editors including you. Secondly, exception is when the title does not sound phonetically correct for example "Anglo-Indo relations", "Franco-Indo relations", "Sino-Indo relations". Also note that "Indo-" is a norm when linking anything to India or the Indian subcontinent. For example, Indo-Aryans, Indo-Iranian languages, Indo-European languages, indologist, indology, indosphere etc. --AI009 (talk) 10:29, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
