Talk:Pramod Mahajan

message: There is a citation for the fact that he was in jail throughout the emergency. It is a reasonable conjecture that he was put there for agitating against it, but citation is nonetheless needed for the fact, because IIRC, RSS members were all rounded up and put in jail, so he could have landed up there that way too. — Ravikiran 07:29, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citation needed moved 

message: This DNA link  says that he was co-opted into the BJP in 1978 but in 78, neither the BJP nor the Jan Sangh existed. BJP was formed only in 1980. We on Wikipedia should not emulate the accuracy that Indian newspapers are so famous for, so please be careful before adding the fact. — Ravikiran 07:50, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The whole article uses so many weasel terms. They should be avoided. Can you help me out with that Ravikiran? --Andy123(talk) 11:00, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  A simple google search  turns up at least 3 good  sources that refer to the controversy about Mahajan and Reliance infocomm. I'll write it up in the "Government" section later today (unless you or someone else beats me to it, of course.) All the other weasel terms can be similarly sourced. I'll keep doing research. — Ravikiran 11:20, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Milestone: Good Article Nomination 

message: The shooting incident is no longer current news. His death should also move out of that category after the cremation. If necessary, keep the Pravin murder charge and trial (within contextual limits) as current events in this article.

replies: text: Umm...in case you didn't know, india is majority hindu, not buddhist. Gandhi was an exemplary individual, unfortunately, not everyone can be like him. Lesliestng 16:48, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Why

message: Sorry for mentioning this here. I couldn't edit the education section on this page. The official Rajya Sabha bio contains the bio submitted by Mahajan when he was in office. So we must assume it must be closest to accuracy.
Here is his education from the bio - 
B.Sc. (Physics), M.A.(Political Science), B.A.(Journalism) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Coolsulphur (talk • contribs) 
:Yes, and I think that it is now in line with what is here. Thanks for checking. — Ravikiran 06:27, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Education

message: I've been reverting the date and time of his death at the end of the introductory paragraph for stylistic reasons. His date of death is mentioned three times' elsewhere in the article. Mentioning it once again would be overkill, if you will forgive the pun. — Ravikiran 05:48, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really. The date of his death is right there in the first line where it says (October 30, 1949 – May 3, 2006) . The lead paragraph is supposed to summarise the most important aspects of his life. I know that right now the exact time of his death is quite  high up on people's minds, because it was the end of a 12 day long vigil when hopes went up and down every other day. But I don't think 10 years from now, people are going to care so much about the exact time of his death.  — Ravikiran 05:13, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Point noted and accepted. Thanks for the clarification. Have left the same message on your user talk page as well. Don't think you need to respond to it. Kudos to you for the good article.Timelessness 15:23, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Number of times date of death is mentioned 

message: I don't understand the citation in this insertion . Please cite a text article that discusses the issue. This is a serious allegation. Kautilya3 (talk) 20:19, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
