  • ... that Major Kalkat stumbled upon plans of an invasion of Kashmir in 1947 however no one believed him until the invasion actually started?

I made a copy-editing pass, and I believe took care of the comments above. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 09:18, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Deepak G Goswami, you have stirred the hornet's nest with this point, more than I think you intended. I will need to tell you a story now ...
On the basis of what I wrote on the talk page (User talk:Deepak G Goswami), I do not agree with the removal of the word Sikh backed merely by rhetorical questions. As far as the copy-edits go, thank you to both. DTM (talk) 15:29, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Part of what I wrote on the user talk page may be better suited to the talk page of Major Kalkat's article. Shift as needed DTM (talk) 15:31, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
DiplomatTesterMan, I understand religion is a sensitive topic for most Indians. However, I see no relevance to mention it in the very first sentence of the article. That being said, I am not against indicating the religion of subject but it can be done somewhere else like in the "early life" section. IMHO, religion of ANY person should be mentioned in the lead section only if their faith played a significant role in their life. Even in the case of Narendra Modi, who is quite known for his faith and politics related to it, we don't mention him as "Hindu politician" (being a "Hindu nationalist" doesn't necessarily make someone Hindu).--Deepak G Goswami (talk) 16:08, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Deepak G Goswami Thank you for the explanation. I am okay with all this. Please go ahead with the DYK review which is the focus here. Thanks. DTM (talk) 09:40, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article: new, long enough, no copyvio or close paraphrasing issues, neutral and well sourced. Hook: interesting, properly formatted and cited with an inline citation in the article; approving only the original hook. QPQ done. Thanks DiplomatTesterMan for understanding my objection, which, by the way, wasn't that "rhetorical" as it might seem. Thanks to Kautilya3 for his copy-editing work. Good to go!--Deepak G Goswami (talk) 06:45, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
