Dear editor, I gave a valid reason for the removal of that content. It was garbled, nonfactual and badly worded. Was that not clear enough? 183.83.147.58 (talk) 04:17, 6 December 2020 (UTC)


 * No, and it wasn't garbled. You removed a reference and changed the content. Use the talkpage to find consensus.  Acroterion   (talk)   04:19, 6 December 2020 (UTC)


 * It was. It said that "Freedom of the press is controlled by the state" - which is nonsense, as India is a free country with a free and often critical press. It also said that " In practice, however, the press is controlled, and the government only allows speech that supports it and the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party since 2014 it came into power." This is also meaningless - in the very next sentence, scroll.in is cited with a critique of the government. 183.83.147.58 (talk) 04:22, 6 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Go to the talkpage and make your argument there, with sources and sourced refutations of the reference you removed.  Acroterion   (talk)   04:24, 6 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Here -, , - all critiques of the government from within the country. Are they being banned or disallowed? 183.83.147.58 (talk) 04:33, 6 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Going to the talkpage with an edit request will get bogged down in dispute, so the best thing is a straight edit. I am asking either of the following - either please let me repair the damage once the protection expires, or could you please self-revert now that I have explained it? 183.83.147.58 (talk) 04:41, 6 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Also, there is one more problem with going to the talk page. Seeing the revision history, many editors will think I am a vandal, and would be unwilling to revert your edit. 183.83.147.58 (talk) 04:47, 6 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Go to the talkpage and discuss. That's what it's there for.  Acroterion   (talk)   12:51, 6 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Could you answer a doubt I have (since I am a bit unfamiliar with a few things on wikipedia). Before we make an edit, do we have to discuss the edit on the talk page? 183.83.147.58 (talk) 12:58, 6 December 2020 (UTC)


 * If it's likely to be challenged or represents a substantial change to the article, yes. Go to the talkpage and find consensus. That's the entire point of having talkpages.  Acroterion   (talk)   13:09, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
