Talk:International reaction to the demolition of the Babri mosque

Please fix the capitalization in the title of this article. It should be: Babri Mosque with "mosque" capitalized. I don't know how to fix the title. I copy-edited the rest of this page -- capitalization, punctuation, and shortening run-on sentences.I don't believe that I changed the content. As soon as the capitalization of the title is fixed, I think that it can be removed from the list of articles that needs its capitalization fixed.Alexhopkins (talk) 06:00, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Merge (de facto redirect)
I already merged all the non-redundant content to Demolition of Babri Masjid. Nothing was lost in the process and the main article isn't imbalanced by the inclusion of this content. So restoring the redirect will help readers and avoid unnecessary duplication. If that section is further developed to be more substantial, it can be split out again.

 * Oppose I disagree with the proposed merger because the data content is not actually exclusive to the Demolition of Babri Masjid, strange as it may sound. This article has data pertinent to the Persecution of Hindus and state of Hinduism in Pakistan, Hinduism in Bangladesh, because it was a landmark event in that regard. There is still content to develop about reactions from expat communities in the Middle East, Middle Eastern nations and North America/Europe. Shiva,   Lord Blackadder  05:38, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * It seems then that your aim in having a separate article is to have a coatrack on which to hang Hindu views of the dispute, not to document international reaction at all. Notice the disparity in the language - the Hindus who demolished the mosque were in a "procession", the Muslims who reacted were "mobs". Fences  &amp;  Windows  09:46, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Indeed, the NYT referred to the Muslims as "crowds" and "marchers". Please make more effort to write neutrally. The background to the dispute is also clearly coloured by a Hindu perspective.  Fences  &amp;  Windows  09:53, 2 May 2011 (UTC)


 * This is no WP:COATRACK - this has nothing to do with a Hindu point of view of anything. All I am saying is that the data is saying that these particular international reactions also led to an aggravation of socio-religious conflict in countries outside India, where the Babri mosque demolition took place. In regards to choice of words - (1) "Procession" is used because it was supposed to be an ordinary procession that took everybody by surprise (note I do not enter into the debate of pre-determined actions) when it suddenly descended upon the mosque site.


 * (2) The use of the word "mob" - dictionary definition is a "disorderly crowd of people". Why do you want me to go "word-for-word" from the sources? Why assume the New York Times's use of "crowds" is any healthier or NPOV than "mob" when the action is being clearly described for what it is? Should I allege the NYT of bias in favour of Muslims, as you seem to insinuate I am incorporating in favour of Hindus? Shiva,   Lord Blackadder  10:18, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
