replies: text: @JAIBHIM5: This article is already illustrated with pictures of torches. The image that you have inserted several times gives no added value to this article. It appears to give WIKIPEDIA: Undue Weight to "the sacrifice of Dalit martyrs who sacrificed their lives during Namantar Andolan" in the context of this article. I have removed it because WIKIPEDIA follows a neutral point of view policy and does not allow promotion. Please see WP:NOTADVERTISING, WP:UNDUE, WP:NPOV.

thread_title:  Nickelroy is vandalizing by removing Torch photograph 

message: This article suffered a sustained attack of vandalism in 2014 September by various IPs beginning with 87.  Most of these were reverted immediately, but a few slipped through.  I believe that I got them all now.  —Toby Bartels (talk) 16:48, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vandalism in September 

message: "Torch construction" should probably be renamed "History and torch construction".
The section should probably start somewhat like the section on the oil lamp.
I found this reference that may help; it reprints from Bulletin of Primitive Technology regarding the history of North American torches
:Don't think the section needs renaming as the subject is all about torch construction not about the history of torches. Reference looks good though so please add relevant text and use this. Robynthehode (talk) 22:24, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  History 

message: I'm beginning to learn through various YouTube demonstrations and simple common sense that torches are not viable light sources. They burn quickly, making them expensive to be placed and replaced for long periods of time in one place; give off acrid smoke, which would make them unsuitable for indoor use; and simply not necessary, since you could just as easily use a cheaper candle or simply use moonlight or starlight, which wouldn't blind you if that type of light was in your field of vision. Open flames would also be dangerous. Does any of the information on this entire page have a basis? I know it says that citations are needed, but that's an understatement—the existing sources are mainly based on dictionaries. Abelhawk (talk) 22:02, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
