Talk:2008 Orissa violence

Notability

Chrylis, Please help me understand. There are a chain of events that began in December 2007, which are bound to have significant impact on the advancement of several ideologies existing in India. I have given proper references where ever needed. Are you hoping to see more references, then you and I can both get a lot of them. The references being used ar extremely credible. One of them being an extremely well circulated and established daily.

You have put in a template of notability but not made an effort to help me identify where and how to move forward. If you do not respond, I would request that you remove this template.

Thanks, Recordfreenow (talk) 02:45, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging for notability doesn't mean that I don't believe your sources or that the event isn't important. What it means (in this case) is that the article doesn't tell me why the event is notable. For example, you mention a chain of events, and that this is likely to have a significant political impact, but the article's text doesn't talk about that.

If this is an ongoing story (similar, e.g., to the Darfur conflict), perhaps it should be consolidated with 2007 Orissa violence into an article such as "Orissa violence", which mentions some of the political response. If it's an unrelated episode, then it should have its own page, but the implications need to be discussed, preferably cited from your sources. --chrylis (talk) 02:54, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for responding. I am fine if we club the two events. Please note that these events are a little more complex than two side conflict. What should I do to club the events? Recordfreenow (talk) 03:29, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You can move the other page (if appropriate) by clicking on the "move" tab (more at WP:MOVE). I would suggest "Orissa violence" as a title. I'd suggest having an introduction section that describes the background, then a chronological narrative of the events (along with appropriate, cited, analysis). chrylis (talk) 03:33, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I will undertake this task in a few days. Right now, I only have time to continue updating the story being unfolded. There is a lot of press on this tragedy but facts and objectivity needs to be filtered for proper advocacy and I am currently focusing on that.

Oops I was not aware of a debate on this, I'll revert.--T. Anthony (talk) 08:11, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Considering the event scale this would need to be a larger scale riot than December tragedy. I will include a background description and then remove teh Notability template. Recordfreenow (talk) 08:24, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Contributors, make sure your comments are cited properly. I am afraid the article is becoming low quality and as a result uacceptable. No matter what your personal opinions or the severity of facts, you cannot make wikipedia your venting wall. If you feel very strongly and want to do something, go to Orissa and protest or sit with the victims but don't feel better by giving copy paste from unrecognized media.
