Frequently asked questions

To view an explanation to the answer, click the [show] link to the right of the question.

Q1: Why does this article describe OpIndia negatively?

A1: Wikipedia’s aim is not to ensure articles are neither overtly positive or negative, but to ensure articles are written based on what reliable sources say; the neutral point of view policy defines neutrality as representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic. This means that if many reliable sources have a negative opinion of a subject, the article will most likely be negative. Since most reliable sources describe OpIndia negatively, this article also describes OpIndia negatively.

Q2: Why does this article say that OpIndia is right-wing?

A2: Most independent reliable sources describe OpIndia as a right-wing publication. Please see these references for details.

Q3: Why can't I cite OpIndia as a source on Wikipedia?

A3: Due to persistent abuse, OpIndia is on the Wikipedia spam blacklist. Please see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 288 § OpIndia and Swarajya for details.
