Talk:Siddharth Varadarajan

message: *Note - cross-posted from my talk page:
Sorry am new to wikimedia and dont know how to explain the change.
He is not the "American editor of the hindu" but the editor of the hindu. He is known as the editor. His nationality, where he studied, who he married and where he lives are all secondary.
One could add later that he was born in America of Indian parents who moved back home where he then grew up and lived.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 26725lk (talk • contribs) 19:16, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: All information in articles biography articles needs to be supported by reliable sources to allow for verification - in this instance the content you are removing is supported by this source which states "Asked if Varadarajan can be made editor since he is a US citizen, Ram said: “I don’t think there is any bar.”". WP:MOSBIO explains that citizenship is included in the lead sentence of articles, and Varadarajan's citizenship is American according to the source. If you have concerns regarding the accuracy of the sourced statement and quote, please raise your concerns on the article talk page in order to discuss the details with other editors. --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 19:51, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe the OP was saying that the phrase "the American editor of" was incorrect, as it implies there are other, non-American editors. In any case, the lead sentence should introduce the nationality and chosen careers of the subject, not a specific position. That is, ... an American such-and-such ... who. I believe I have corrected the problem, as well as properly sectioned the article. Yworo (talk) 20:05, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: WP:MOSBIO allows for permanent residence to be used as well, and doesn't require citizenship to be used.  Even Varadarajan refers to himself as an "Indian editor", having grown up in India, and everything that he is notable for has been done while he has been resident in India.  So, there's very little reason why his citizenship (acquired as he was born in the USA to Indian parents, a country that grants automatic citizenship to persons born there) should be mentioned in the context paragraph rather than his permanent residence. 123.201.148.59 (talk) 06:38, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citizenship 

message: As the subject of this article is a living person, material added must meet the reliable sourcing criteria for biography subjects. Recently editors have been attempting to include unsourced or poorly sourced information regarding a specific individual's attempts to discredit Siddharth Varadarajan based on his citizenship. As the only source provided has been to a primary source (i.e. a letter) hosted on a user-generated website it has been removed. In addition to the sourcing issues, the material also violates NPOV policy as it puts undue emphasis a minority opinion. An excerpt from the relevant policy states (note: bolding mine):
:"Views that are held by a tiny minority should not be represented except in articles devoted to those views (such as Flat Earth). To give undue weight to the view of a significant minority, or to include that of a tiny minority, might be misleading as to the shape of the dispute. Wikipedia aims to present competing views in proportion to their representation in reliable sources on the subject."
Any inclusion of material that violates BLP policy by including unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material will continue to be removed from the article unless there is consensus reached on the talk page, or via the appropriate noticboard, that it should be included.--Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 16:25, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
