The following sentence but the evidence of his neighbours does not entirely corroborate this statement. is not supported by the citations [1][2] that is provided in the article.
The following is the available information regarding Modi's helping his father at the tea stall in the citation Most of them recall something of the childhood of Narendra Modi, such as when he brought home a baby crocodile from a lake. They speak with respect more than fondness. He rarely helped his father with the tea stal
I have tried to copy edit this sentence he had worked infrequently in his father's tea shop on the platform of Vadnagar railway station but unfortunately you have reverted it.
Plz go through the revert you have made thoroughly and help me in maintaning WP:V.
Aside from the fact that your change was ungrammatical, both sources are making the point that according to his neighbors, he did not frequently work at the tea stall. The attribution to the neighbors is key, as is the contrast with the previous statement. Vanamonde93 (talk) 23:41, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As per merriam-webster.com this is the meaning of the word corroboratedto support with evidence or authority.
The word corroborated didnt justify the situation as the neighbours didn't provide any evidence in support of their claim and neither they have any authority in this regard.
In this regard I propose the earlier edit that I made to justify he had worked infrequently in his father's tea shop on the platform of Vadnagar railway station
Your version does not attribute the neighbors' statements to them, and is ungrammatical. Pinging Fowler&fowler, who drafted that language; F&F, I seem to recall other sources discussing this discrepancy; do you remember what they are? Vanamonde93 (talk) 15:51, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Vanamonde93 Thanks for pointing out. As suggested the version of neighbours and grammatical errors has been taken care of. Plz see the diff. BlackOrchidd (talk) 09:09, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is highly misleading to state it as a fact especially when his brother has refuted this claim.[3]Abhishek0831996 (talk) 02:36, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Its not stated as fact and neither in the wikivoice, Its attributed to Modi, his then neighbours and also to his brother. ThanksBlackOrchidd (talk) 04:32, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 21 April 2024[edit]
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
CHANGE:
While his policies as chief minister, which were credited for encouraging economic growth, were praised, Modi's administration was criticised for failing to significantly improve health, poverty and education indices in the state.[a]
TO:
While his policies as chief minister, which were credited for encouraging economic growth, were praised, Modi's administration was criticised for failing to significantly improve health, poverty and education indices in the state.[b]. However, what must also be noted is that Gujarat is classified as a "front-runner state" in the NITI Aayog Health Index[3] and also ranks above the national average of India in terms of human development index[4].
REASON: Possible Bias and POV pushing by citing one-sided sources when there are other equally reliable sources which paint a completely opposite picture (sources given in the references). Request to the editors to allow this edit to go through so that both sides of the coin are shown. Kailash K Singh (talk) 01:53, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not done: Wikipedia would not state in it's own voice "However, what must also be noted...". Wikipedia would also not attempt to make an argument on behalf of any person in an attempt to curb bias; ergo, Wikipedia itself would not clarify what this edit is requesting - it would cite a 3rd party reliable source which does so. If there are multiple sources that argue against the idea that "... Modi's administration was criticised for failing to significantly improve health, poverty and education indices in the state" to a point where it would not be a balance issue to include it in the lead, please provide them in a different request. —Sirdog(talk) 03:36, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I’m unable to edit the article, can someone write about Today’s incident went viral when PM Modi talked about How Opposition will take country’s money and will give all to minorities (muslims) which is direct violation of Election Commission of Indiaset rules about Religious politics propaganda. DAMGMG (talk) 16:54, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This information has been added to Narendra Modi#Hindutva but this is certainly not enough. Modi was also spreading disinformation about the Congress here. We really need a broader section now which would cover his inaccurate statements. See the earlier discussion. Abhishek0831996 (talk) 02:42, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't have any lasting significance to be expanded any further, considering the length of the present article. — hako9 (talk) 04:12, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@BlackOrchidd: Your edit dilutes Modi's comments. Remember that we report what reliable sources say in their own voice. We paraphrase quotations for concision, when appropriate MOS:QUOTE. And try to have a discussion before making very significant changes. — hako9 (talk) 09:55, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
