message: Is JP considered a freedom fighter?
Ofcourse, without doubt, he is considered a freedom fighter. However, he, Aruna Asaf Ali etc. were all a part of what was called the younger brigade. -- Gurubrahma 23:22, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

message: We seem to be going back and forth regarding whether Narayan's birthplace was a village in Bihar or Uttar Pradesh, and we seem to be finding sources that verify both. The basic rule is that if reliable sources disagree then we show all opinions. However, before I amend the article to reflect this I wonder if the issue is that the village was once in one jurisdiction and has since moved to another. If this is the case then we need to use the jurisdiction as it was at the time of his birth. Can anyone clarify? - Sitush (talk) 20:08, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

message: Hi! I was adding citations (where ever i could) at the various "citations needed" tags (and removing them in the process). This is when i came across some lines in the wiki article ("Death" section that have been lifted as it is from JD(S) official site (jds.ind.in/j-p-narayan/).
I am quoting the lines here:
" In March 1979, while he was in hospital, his death had been erroneously announced by the Indian prime minister, causing a brief wave of national mourning, including the suspension of parliament and regular radio broadcasting, and the closure of schools and shops. When he was told about the gaffe a few weeks later, he smiled.[15]"
Someone kindly verify, whether this falls under copyright violation. If it does, i am willing to paraphrase.

replies: text: , it is difficult to be sure. The earliest version of the JDS website that I can find is 25 Feb 2013 (see here) and at that point our article contained the same information (see here). I think it is probably best to assume the worst and try to use alternate sources & rephrase material for all of the JDS citations, not just the one that you have found. The reason for this is that if it is not a copyright violation then it could equally be a WP:MIRROR situation, in which case we're creating a circular reference by citing the JDS site. - Sitush (talk) 15:43, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

text: I am in agreement. On the lookout then, for other sources that can serve verifiable references.
