This is not vandalism but a content dispute and as such the 3 revert rule applies to both parties. Keith D (talk) 23:26, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Is Twitter unreliable?

CNN had in the past fired one of its journalist Octavia Nasr based on a controversial tweet. Was CNN acting based on an unreliable source? The logic that twitter is unreliable is preposterous.--Corruptcongress (talk) 03:27, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Please stop. Twitter is a quote from a person, but it is not a reliable source for the intent or outcome or response (or lack of response) for an action. By attempting to compare past and current twitter incidents and point out that one resulted in the employee getting fired, while another did not is original research by you and is campaigning for action to be taken.  7  04:13, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

I agree with 7; the inclusion of these claims is inappropriate WP:OR WP:RS.  Chzz  ►  09:21, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Protection

I have protected the page for a while to allow parties to discuss the inclusion/exclusion of the twitter text. Five days of back and forth is no way to proceed - discuss on this talk page and decide what to do. But please bear in mind that this is a biography of a living person. Keith D (talk) 14:04, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Many people believe that below section should be included on Sagarika's page - Please suggest alternative wordings so that this section could be included on Sagarika's page. --Corruptcongress (talk) 14:10, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

I don't know very well whether it is the right place or not but i think Criticism on twitter regarding indian male comment should be included in the article. as it is real incident. --Mihir_be_ce —Preceding undated comment added 10:29, 7 February 2011 (UTC).

Criticism on twitter

• Ugly Men Controversy - On 29th January 2011 Sagarika Ghose tweeted the following on a social networking site Twitter "Notes from Bangkok airport: Indian males as a species must be the ugliest in the world! The ones on Twitter sound ugly too!" which was heavily criticized on twitter and was on top trending for 3 days in India.Her sexist and racist tweets were reported to TeamCNN and TeamCNN was asked if CNN endorsed her views. Though CNN network did not tender an apology on her behalf but tweeted back the following on 31'st January 2011 - SG issued this apology:"My comments on Indian males was never intended to offend or hurt. Am deeply sorry if it did. My sincere apologies"

• Hindu Religion Slander - On 23rd September 2010 Sagarika Ghose tweeted the following on a social networking site Twitter "whether or not lord rama is the rightful owner or a divine encroacher is a question unlikely to be settled in a hurry". The screen shots of this tweet are still available across the internet. She was severely criticized for this tweet for being insensitive to Hindu religion and disrespectful towards the most revered Hindu deity.

CNN had in the past fired one of its journalist Octavia Nasr based on a controversial tweet, however Sagarika Ghose continues to serve as the deputy editor and prime time anchor on the news network CNN-IBN.

editorialised content

Hi. This is Sagarika Ghose. This is to bring to your notice that a user is repeatedly inserting editorialised non factual content into my Wikipedia bio, such as I am perceived to be a "racist"", and "biased" anchor. These are not terms that have been placed on me by a court of law or by any established investigation. Anonymous internet users of a certain political ideology have long targeted me on different social media forums and are now inserting defamatory and editorialised content about me on the Wikipedia site. Please note that if such content continues to appear on the Wikipedia bio, I will be forced to lo0k at my legal options against what I consider defamation and public character assassination. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.98.57.107 (talk) 17:02, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Repeated vandalism by rightwing forces

Hi. This is Sagarika Ghose again. I logged on to my Wikipedia bio last night on 7-04-2013 to find that once again all the information had been removed and highly editorialised content had been inserted, including how I was being referred to as "bitch" in certain circles. I protest most strongly at the repeated editing and interference in my Wikipedia bio by vested interessts trying to detroy my professional credibility and my good name. This is not only sexual harassment on the web, it is also a form of molestation and stalking, both punishable offences in the new laws on crimes againt women. I have taken the liberty of re-inserting all the relevant professional and personal information about myself, information that I feel is factual, not motivated. The Wikipedia bio is referred to by many and urgent steps must be taken to protect public figures from repeated attempts at character assasination by anonymous criminals. Kindly ensure that steps are taken to so that any motivated person seeking to destroy my reputation does not repeatedly vandalise my bio!

Contents of any Wikipedia article are essence of Google search results. In initial search result pages Google shows twitter related links. I had added two lines with refs. Some user thought that it is not encyclopedic and removed it. No objection.

Now I have tried to improve the article little bit. But article need refs. I may try to find refs. I was unaware of article history and this talk page. If I see vandalism I will request admin to protect the article. neo (talk) 08:41, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks to professional edits by anon IP, I have given enough sources for this article to be good article candidate. Sagarika Ghose is bit controversial but very good journalist. This article is on my watchlist as long as I am on Wikipedia. neo (talk) 12:33, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Insertion of gratuitous and sexist descriptions of my dress on TV

Hi, this is Sagarika Ghose again. Once again an anonymous user inserted "She wears sleveless blouses and lipstick while anchoring on TV." A number of female anchors wear lipstick and saris on television. I find this kind of insertion of my dress not only gratuitous and sexist but once again an attempt by the same anonymous rightwingers seeking to destroy my professional credibility. Dress codes of television anchors are not normally mentioned in their Wikipedia bios. Have taken the liberty of removing it from the page.
