June 1986

User:OccultZone, hi. this edit was switched back to 1985 but the source here gives "June 1986" for the India Today Born to Die cover story. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:01, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@In ictu oculi: Article was DYK, and today I saw that you changed the year. Thanks for keeping it calm, I have self-reverted. OccultZone (Talk) 02:16, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, there seem to be three sources in Google Books citing this article. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:21, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Revert, why

Please stop removing the image, it is for illustrative purposes and is fine. Also the change of dates (unexplained) and the use of primary sources. Darkness Shines (talk) 15:12, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:IMAGE RELEVANCE "Images are primarily meant to inform readers by providing visual information. Consequently, images should look like what they are meant to illustrate, even if they are not provably authentic images." The image stays. Darkness Shines (talk) 16:40, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality issues

This article is not neutral. It summarizes sources that highlight and present "high estimates" of female infanticide, but does not summarize sources that provide alternate "lower estimates" or question the high estimates. A neutral presentation would present all sides, high and low. There is plenty of reliable scholarly sources for the different sides. SamanthaBooth (talk) 17:35, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And, bollocks. Thanks for coming. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:41, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
