How is removing a statement which is not universally supported and putting there a more truthful one vandalism? It' easy to revert, and use template messages. Please stop prommoting the point of view. And please, do sign on talk pages as well.Psubrat2000 (talk) 06:40, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
- Please check my reverts again. You removed my edits in another section and I reverted back. Besides, in the edit I reverted, you didn't remove a statement but added controversial terms such as "fascists" - your edit made it seem as if that term was used by Russian government, but in fact, it was used by some sections of the Russian media (as per the Guardian source you provided). --King Zebu (talk) 07:05, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
Automotive industry in India
Dear King Zebu,
I have noticed that you have done some great work on a number of articles related to India and commonwealth games recently.
I first came across your work when you removed an update from me ("11 million figure") on the article "Automotive industry in India" on 11th October. As advised on that update, I have read the guidelines from "Wikipedia:Verifiability#Reliable sources".
The source that was used on that article was a self-published source. As a result, I now understand that I am unable to update Wikipedia articles from the reports that we publish.
However, I would like to bring to your attention that, all the reports that we publish are researched from highly reliable sources such as government databases, industry publications and popular newspapers. That "11 million figure" was also taken from a very reliable industry publications "Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM)". Our reports are also used by top universities in Australia. Refer to the link to Swinburne University quoting Automobile Industry India link on their website: (http://www.swinburne.edu.au/engineering/electric-vehicle/links.html)
We would like to contribute to Wikipedia and its users but, we are restricted to do so. We encourage you to use our content and quote us wherever possible. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me.
We appreciate all your help and support.
Thanking you, Warm Regards, —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tarun mor50002 (talk • contribs) 03:57, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
- I understand your viewpoint but you must read Wikipedia:No original research. If you can provide details for the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers publication which has supported the 11 million figure, then that source should be more than credible. However, until then, the 11 million figure cannot go in. --King Zebu (talk) 20:06, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
- I have read Wikipedia:No original research -- Two points on that 1) We have cited Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) in our publication 2) As per Wikipedia:No original research our publication may be used as a Secondary source.
- Most of the content we consulted from Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers is from their periodicals. Kindly, refer to the the link http://www.siamindia.com for more details on Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers. Thanks.--Tarun mor50002 (talk) 10:25, 20 October 2010

Upanishads
I've undone your change at Upanishads. The comment by the European writer shows that not all Europeans were reacted like Kant, Max Muller, Schopenhauer, etc. If you still feel strongly about the content, feel free to undo again but please initiate a discussion on the talk page so we can get opinions of others to form consensus. Zuggernaut (talk) 05:44, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
- I had two problems with the concerned text — it gives little insight apart from making superficial derogatory remarks against the writers of the Upanishads and the person who made these remarks was some "unnamed early European writer". The latter is no longer an issue since this writer is Dr. A.E. Gough (as per Essays on Indian Culture by Sir John Woodroffe). However, the first point is still an issue and as a compromise, I have removed the quotation template and moved the text to the second para. --King Zebu (talk) 19:25, 24 November 2010 (UTC)]
Works for me. BTW, good work at India with the copy-editing. We need to add content related to famines to that article. Feel free to take a look at Famine in India which also appears in the current issue of the India newsletter. Zuggernaut (talk) 05:02, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Famines and India
King Zebu, I owe you an apology for being dragged in to the mess of famines at the India article. Feel free to undo the famine edit (I will take it up myself until it reaches a fair conclusion) if you think it tarnishes your reputation on Wikipedia. However there is a serious POV problem with several India related Wikipedia articles as documented in the
- Zuggernaut, I can easily defend most of the changes I've made to the concerned article. Going through some of Fowler's arguments, I realize that this person comes with a heavy baggage of bias. Also, I'm amused by Fowler's suggestion that I should have discussed these issues before making edits to the History section. Maybe he/she is not aware of the BRD cycle. To be frank, those list of points put forward by Chipmunk and Fowler actually made me chuckle. I do realize that Wikipedia attracts a lot of strange minds and therefore, neither do I have the time nor the motivation to indulge myself in an argument with them. --King Zebu (talk) 08:16, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
- I'm afraid BRD doesn't apply to Featured Articles. Please read: Wikipedia:Ownership_of_articles#Featured_articles. Besides, editing etiquette for the India page has been discussed many times before on the talk page. Many RfCs have been held on the Talk:India page in which experienced Wikpedians—including ArbCom members, bureaucrats, and administrators—have all come down on the same side. Please read the archives. Please also read the FAQs on the Talk:India page. The answer to Question 3 says: "If you wish to expand the content, consider editing daughter articles (Such as History of India) instead. ... Please read Wikipedia:Main article fixation."]

Il-76 vs IL-78
Hello,
There are two kinds of IL-78s. The early models were basically an IL-76MD in which removable fuel tanks were installed in the hold, fuel pods under the wings and in the tail (along with appropriate plumbing), a refueller station installed in the tail gunner's station. They retained the rear ramp, the rear door. In those aircraft, one could easily remove the pods, the large tanks in the hold, and you had what basically became an IL-76 transport. With the IL-78M this was no longer possible. The rear cargo doors were removed and the larger tanks in the holds were permanently installed. These were permanent tanker aircraft (and had a higher gross weight of 210 tonnes)
It was common for a military IL-76MD to be sold to an airline which then called its aircraft an IL-76TD, although it still had the military gear like the gunner turret. In the same vein, in some countries (Ukraine did this a lot), the tanks and pods were removed from IL-78s and they were converted into apparent IL-76s. It is very possible and likely that the picture aircraft was a real IL-78 with pods and tanks removed. It would still have all the pluming installed, as well as the refueller station located in the tail gunner's position.Hudicourt (talk) 22:59, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
- Point taken. However, even if the Libyan aircraft is an Il-78, it is still inappropriate to have it as the lead image of the article. The lead image of the article should give the best possible visual description/depiction of the subject. A modified aerial refueling tanker without its refueling pods and being used as a cargo aircraft does not depict the concerned subject very well. --King Zebu (talk) 10:14, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

List of Agrawals
Before you go reverting me again and making snide comments in edit summaries, please take a look at User:Sitush/Common#Castelists. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 18:59, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
- "Snide" Really? You are ordering others to follow a policy on your userpage... and when someone points out that you are making up your own rules, you label it as derogatory?
- Please direct me to a specific clause in Wikipedia:BLP which explicitly specifies that "living people need to self-identify, not be classified by someone else". As far as Wikipedia:Verifiability, "it must be possible to attribute all information in Wikipedia to reliable, published sources that are appropriate for the content in question", and I believe that my edits are in line with Wikipedia's policy as the sources provided are reliable and relevant.
- Lastly, it is quite possible that I may have missed the relevant Wikipedia policy. If that's the case, then I will not have any objection to your reverts. But, do point out that Wikipedia policy, and do not direct me to your userpage. And please, don't edit war. It serves no good. Let us resolve this issue amicably. --King Zebu (talk) 13:56, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

India Numbering
Hello, The wiki page is on India, in the least it needs to be written in the Indian numbering system for readers who do come from India and dont/wont understand the gravity of the counts when in million/billion. Being considerate of the consistency, I did mention the other numbering system in brackets everywhere that I changed them, along with wiki page links to the numbering systems for those who need to learn more about either of them I would hope that the changes be reverted back, regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by Azuredivay (talk • contribs) 05:15, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Equanimity
I can understand that you're angry.
- diff: "pushing your agenda"
- diff: "And, I'm not going to claim that you are an imprudent brat (because that would be a violation of Wikipedia:No personal attacks). But going by your racist comments and past edit history, it is quite obvious that you have a clear anti-India and anti-Hindu agenda - and that explains why you push your POV under the guise of half-witted, illogical comments."
- diff: "Going by the racist and derogatory comments this User has made, it is clear that he has a clear anti-India and anti-Hindu bias and that explains the intent behind some of his edits to India-related articles."
And remember,
- I understand Joshua, but sometimes we need to keep aside being politically correct and call spade a spade. It is important that the hidden agenda and bias of some of these Wikipedians be exposed so that everyone can see what exactly is going on.
- Regarding the comment I left at Highspeaks talkpage, the intent was that we should take these upgrades one step at a time rather than push all of them at once. I think I specifically wrote that. But if that is going to be misconstrued as an attempt to build an alliance, then I should clarify myself immediately on that talkpage itself.
- Regarding Consensus, once Consensus has been achieved, it has been achieved. If someone raises an objection weeks after a Consensus was achieved, then we go back to the round-table to discuss. But that doesn't mean the Consensus achieved weeks ago becomes null and void and all the changes made can be removed / reverted. --King Zebu (talk) 06:27, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Sources in 'India and weapons of mass destruction'
Hello!
In this edit you added two sfntemplates. I understand that these should correspond to other existing references on the page, but I can find no other mention of 'Nair' or 'Pandit' in your revision or the current revision of that page. I think some missing references are needed, can you add them, or explain if I have misunderstood? Many thanks. Citruswinter (talk) 03:51, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
- Related, in this subsequent edit you added another dangling sfn to 'Kumar'. The business-standard.com source you removed (which since then seems to have changed URL to here) seems like a good reference for the "flawed and discriminatory" sentence it appeared next to. If you can't remember what 'Kumar' is, maybe put that one back? :) Citruswinter (talk) 04:21, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
