Badrinathan (2021)

Badrinathan, Sumitra (November 2021). "Educative Interventions to Combat Misinformation: Evidence from a Field Experiment in India". American Political Science Review. 115 (4): 1325–1341. doi:10.1017/S0003055421000459. ISSN 0003-0554.TrangaBellam (talk) 15:14, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Regarding serious issue

Hi, I have looked through this article on some serious issues on some of the statements.

"An example of such channel was Sudhir Chaudhary's DNA on Zee News of claiming about nano-gps technology in the new bank notes issued by Indian government."

Please note that this media hardly makes any mistake unlike Op India and Alt News which have a quite good history over these. They do too, like BBC News but they are few in number. Therefore, these lines need to be removed to prevent people from giving false information and to prevent using or maligning the image of the media or the person on whom this article is based. If you wish we can have a productive discussion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Just another Wikipedian editor (talkcontribs) 16:51, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've restored the last stable version from one month ago. Should be good now? — DaxServer (talk) 16:58, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your quick action, Dax. Just another Wikipedian editor (talk) 17:13, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the late DaxServer, but I want you to do the make your attention here as well.

"The NaMo app, an app dedicated to Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, was reported to have promoted and spread fake news."

Same is the case here as well. This app also does not seem to be spreading false information one after the other, the cases are very few i.e. 1 or 2 and that too probably not intentionally. There has been no case of spreading fake news for more than 7 months. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Just another Wikipedian editor (talkcontribs) 17:37, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why do Indians get involved in everything and spread false and misleading news?

One Indian said that in (Linkedin) that the Rothschild family claims that they have the net worth of 500 trillions dollar and owns 80% of the world's wealth. But when Rothschild name was in this world, then there was not so much money in the whole world, nor so much money was hidden yet, but I think so much money has not been hidden in the world. I trust Wikipedia so much and i also like it to used kindly help me to solved this or proved that what is the real net worth or Rothschild family on here real time or current.
