Talk:The Hindu

Redirects

• Education Plus
• The hindu features
• The Hindu Centre
• The Hindu Centre for Politics and Public Policy

These four are all redirects to this page, but there are no mention of them anywhere in the article. Although I can't be sure if it matches the Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion policy, should't these be deleted?

Note: "Education Plus" and "The hindu features" were merged to this article following a discussion here.--YTRK (talk) 13:00, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Section about controversies and criticisms is missing

Template:Ping This is regarding this edit and other edits in its vicinity. A section dedicated for “controversies and criticism” is present in the Wikipedia articles of almost every major newspaper except The Hindu. Therefore, we need a separate section for listing “controversies and criticism” about this newspaper. This doesn’t fit well in the history section. Please see the article of The New York Times as an approximate template.— Vaibhavafro ^💬 15:54, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Vaibhavafro, The "controversies and critcism" section on The News York Times refers to actual controversies, accusations and criticisms with appropiate summarisation of references and a neutral presentation. Whereas your addition in Special:Diff/981743203 and Special:Diff/981743203 was a random jumble of quotes with no context and no reference to the internal dispute on editorial control, the subject of the cited articles.

I made a seperate edit solely to fix this issue in Special:Diff/981780581 which retains the section by name. If you want to retain it, that is fine but it should ideally belong in the history section considering the current state the article is in. If and when necessary, a section on controversies and criticism can be created in an appropriate manner. .

Please go through, WP:CSECTION; a well developed article like that of The New York Times is not comparable to this one which doesn't even appropiately summarise its basic history as it stands. Tayi Arajakate _Talk 16:16, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Template:Ping wp:CSECTION is a valid point. I hereby withdraw my proposal to create a dedicated section for controversies and criticism. However, the content added in this edit is important for maintaining WP:NPOV since it mentions the views critical of the newspaper. Without it, there’s hardly any content in the article critical of the newspaper.— Vaibhavafro ^💬 16:26, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

There are apparently editorial disputes. You can research them and write about them instead of name-dropping and cherry-picked quotations. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 16:34, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Template:Ping I have elaborated the quotations by adding the context. Thank you for the suggestion.— Vaibhavafro ^💬 17:13, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

I can agree to the new edit as it stands since it is presented within its appropriate context, although that edit summary certainly isn't appropriate considering you couldn't even wait for 30 minutes for a response here. In any case, I wouldn't be making changes to that edit so I suppose this is settled here. Tayi Arajakate _Talk 17:29, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Template:Ping Thank you. I am sorry for my haste, if you feel I have shown some of it. I shall be refining the content I added today further to improve its cohesion, context and coherence. Please feel free to suggest improvements. Regarding the supposedly inappropriate “edit summary”, please see my reply here.— Vaibhavafro ^💬 17:40, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
