message: This article cites "scholars" who blame Narendra Modi's incolvement in the 2002 Gujarat riots but does not state that in 2022, the Supreme Court of India completely exonerated Narendra Modi from all such charges. See https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/gujarat-riots-clean-chit-pm-modi-sc-two-decades-legal-battle-1966358-2022-06-24. In the interests of fairness and completeness, this decision should be noted.Sooku (talk) 23:05, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: That seems all right to me, perhaps consider including some of the sources mentioned here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Gujarat_riots)? Llightex (talk) 01:07, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

message: Should probably add some citations in the lead. Though it's not necessary, per WP:LEADCITE it notes "quotations and controversial statements, particularly if about living persons, should be supported by citations even in the lead" -- and given the amount of controversy this article (and lead) have attracted it would be a good idea to add citations in the lead.

thread_title:  Citations in the lead 

message: As mentioned by several editors, the lead is too short, uncited and unbalanced. I have added well sourced content that has previously been suggested by other editors, and makes the lead more balanced. We can continue the discussion for better lead RogerYg (talk) RogerYg (talk) 02:33, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text:  But, having strong Libel assertions that HAF has roots in VHPA is a violation of WP:Libel and hence needs to be removed or replaced with more WP:NPOV language such as "There have been alleged links between some foundational members of HAF with VHPA". Thanks for your inputs. RogerYg (talk) 03:00, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hi , as a Wikipedia editor, we expect you to be committed to Wikipedia policies of verifiability and WP:NPOV. So whatever you argue has to be based on those policies, not your own opinions of the situation. If you are able to come up with a sentence or two which accurately summarise the content of the Hindu nationalist ties section, then it would be a candidate for consideration. Otherwise, the current sentence stays, which is entirely factual, and conveys the sense of what that section says (though not its substance). -- Kautilya3 (talk) 06:55, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

message: I don't have easy access to the refs given, but should that be "first American Hindu advocacy organization..."? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:44, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I can see the ref, it does actually support the text as written, but it's in a section titled "Politically active Indian American advocacy organisations": so I believe the implication that this is within the US is clear. Certainly this group doesn't predate the Arya Samaj, or the RSS, or the VHP...Vanamonde93 (talk) 18:00, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
