thread_title: Plan to remove/remake the controversy section

message: One reference, that showing that Remo instigated the "festival" (actually, "invented" is more like it) and sustains it, was already given (http://www.goacom.com/goanow/2002/jan/festivals.html).  As for the second, the wave of conversions away to Fundamentalist Protestantism, providing a reference will be a bit tricky, but I'll work on it. As stated, however, Remo's activities was part of the provocation, not the whole.  And, as a matter of fact, the "Catholic" church strongly pursues the same policy since Vatican II, as is proven by the "Catholic" priest (Fr. Moreno de Sousa, a Jesuit) gushing about the Siolim Zagor in this page, also provided in external links, although his text is in the Konkani language: http://www.goa-world.com/goa/zagor/index.htm. Is this sufficient? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 61.246.204.115 (talk • contribs) 00:43, 3 September 2006.
** The above is bizarre... It is an extreme religious perspective of what basically is a Rock star's involvement in propping up a syncretic festival that brings together people of two faiths. Let's not create controversy where none exist. That's my view. --fredericknoronha 21:08, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I read the article, it does not seem to come even close to being a controversy. Albeit I must say it is an interesting event... and the author also states that it is atleast a century old tradition. I am shifting it out of the controversy section. And I really doubt a musician can be responsible for mass conversion!? --hydkat 20:55, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have removed the entire section. After some consideration and reading a few articles on the festival, I find it odd that Siolim Zagor is considered a controversy where both communities agree that it builds communal harmony. Also the claim that his music (rock music in general) is a form of Animism and that he is in violation the First Commandment is your Point of View (and I feel amounts to a personal attack). Your point about his veiws on God being a controversy needs to be proved. Anyway, thanks for the link! I've added his contribution to the event in another section --hydkat 19:56, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: Portuguese nationality law means that Remo was a Portuguese citizen from his birth in May 1953 (Goa was not part of India till 19 December 1961), and his current reversion to Portuguese citizenship wasn't by naturalization process. You can't describe him as an Indian singer because India doesn't allow dual nationality, and also WP: ETHNICITY. The previous description before the vandalism by User:Gotitbro followed the same system as for Tina Turner. 42.107.84.59 (talk) 16:03, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless you are looking for a ban with your IP-hopping personal attacks labelling any evert of your contentious edits as vandalism, I'd recommend you stop it. Your restrictive definition of Indian by citing a single-use case of a pop-singer isn't helpful either (we also have J. B. S. Haldane and Albert Einstein among numerous other examples), each case is decided on its own merits. That the person here has carried Portuguese nationality since birth is your WP:SYNTH analysis which is not going to fly. Even the sources cited mark out-his earliest acquirement-case at 1993 clearly forgoing your claims here. The complete abjurement of Indian from the lead is clearly contentious as the article was long stable with that before your numerous IPs thought the better.

text: This is not to say a better use-case can't be reached here, such as "Indo-Portuguese", "India[n]-born Portuguese", "India[n]-born naturalised Portuguese", but "Goa-born", "Goan" etc.is not going to pass when listing nationality as such.  please take a look and give a second opinion here-in. Gotitbro (talk) 16:23, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello, . Looking at the sources, it looks like Fernandes acquired Portuguese citizenship at some point, so description as naturalised Portuguese seems valid. To avoid the confusion over being Indian or Indian-born, I would suggest writing  -- Ab207 (talk) 17:18, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
