:Alleged by Indian media, yes. That's not a reason for removing the sentence as you did [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fake_news_in_India&diff=1039270817&oldid=1035069951 here]. The claim is attributed to EU DisinfoLab, as is proper (and sourced to ''The Hindu''); it's not stated in Wikipedia's voice. The sentence is also an essential part of the altogether well-sourced paragraph. What can the reader make of a paragraph beginning "By 2020, the number of such pro-India fake news websites was revealed to have grown to 750 across 116 countries", when the original statement about those "such" websites has disappeared, along with the original number of websites (265)? Please have some consideration for the prose of our articles. I have restored the sentence you removed. [[User:Bishonen|Bishonen]] | [[User talk:Bishonen|tålk]] 21:18, 17 August 2021 (UTC). |

Is this article written in Indian English? And is the term "tied up" idiomatic in that variant of English? Here, it is used like "partnered". I don't want to change it if it is considered correct usage. Elizium23 (talk) 01:59, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for making the article more accessible to International audiences along with Indian ones. Hmx098amd64 (talk) 06:06, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Article needs copyediting for WP:NPOV and seems to indulge in WP:RECENTISM. Not all of these cases pass a WP:10YEARTEST. SerChevalerie (talk) 16:51, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The sentence quoting NaMo App as Fake news promoting app is a false claim. The App was just developed present People's and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's view on several topics in India. There is a lot of hatred spreading and misinformation on this page . The Media houses like India Today generally show the view of Indian National Congress and the Communist Parties in India. Thus we cannot consider India Today to ge an unbaised source. The Information regarding Anti-Muslim propaganda of BJP is a false claim made by some media houses in India and infact there is a little official evidence that exists to favour some of the small disputes that were in no way related to the party. Third The BBC,The NDTV has always spread anti-hindu agenda in India.Infact after the Delhi roits BBC,NY Times and Washington Post represented Hindus as the roit provokers although the reality was entirely opposite.

See the problematic text is making the right wing of politics solely responsible for fake news . The article must cover the malpractices of both the sides.
Let me cite some links that are totally a fake news by sources mentioned in this talk:- https://www.thetruepicture.org/ndtv-the-wire-journalists-fake-news-crpf-pension/ https://www.hindustantimes.com/india/british-hindus-have-lost-faith-in-bbc/story-RUBD1DbhTO3MdlacLnIvYI.html and also this news article:- https://www.scoopwhoop.com/NDTV-And-Modi-Cant-Stand-Each-Other-And-Its-Roots-Lie-In-2002/ I admit the fact that there is a lot of fake news spread by right wing faction of politics but at the same time there has been equivalent false reporting at the left front which is not properly covered in the article. These news channels and websites talk of THE RIGHT TO SPEECH but they do not witness the fact that they are able to do so due to much liberal press and media laws in India. The fact is we are covering just one side of the coin and this can lead to misguidance of younger audiences . I do not deny the facts mentioned but i would be happier if the Article gets more balanced Hmx098amd64 (talk) 11:41, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
But you must come with some ground reality . You cant blame just the right wing as in this portion "In India, fake news has been predominantly spread by the right-wing of the political spectrum, especially by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and many media outlets aligned with it." While it is a known fact that both the wings are equally accused for the same, you could write this as:- "In India, fake news has been predominantly spread by both the wings of the Indian political spectrum, especially by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress(INC) and many media outlets aligned to them." This presents a more balanced scenario . Becuase the thing is if you look at the Political atmosphere out of your native place "GOA" you can see a wide diversity in opinions and if you just refer to the right wing it creates a psychological effect that the left-wing is passive in the matter . But at the same time if you analyse the ground reality of social media trends it is very evident that there is an equivalent amount of fake news. In the name of fake news some fanatic people of left-wing write anti-hindu and anti-national content while some people of right-wing post anti-muslim content which is also no less than being anti-national.Also we cannot blame the whole of either faction as a whole because there is a much bigger number of wise in both the wings people who write a lot of meaningful balanced content on political issues .We both may be partisan in our views(And it is perfectly natural and good for a human to be so) but if we are on a platform like Wikipedia some balance on such serious political issues is expected from us in order to maintain an air of healthy political analysis .Presenting both viewpoints is extremely nessecary.

I think it would be better to separately state UPA, NDA and the LEFT faction. This could make article more clear and informative with clearer terminology Hmx098amd64 (talk) 15:20, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Actually i am new to Wikipedia (as an editor) .And I am just learning from mistakes buddy. Pls don't hate me people . Hmx098amd64 (talk) 15:32, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think it would be better that we share our revisions on this talk page and then publish the Common Minimum so as to prevent any further dispute. Hmx098amd64 (talk) 15:35, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
And give more reliable and fact-focused content rather than some opinion driven article on this platform as it looks now. Hmx098amd64 (talk) 15:37, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You are just targetting a group you didn't mention NDTV and India today Kirtan Hora (talk) 11:31, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
