Battle of Panipat (1761)

 * Nominator(s): Zak (talk) 14:28, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Third Battle of Panipat I am nominating this for featured article because it has the potential to become a featured article and deals with one of the major battles in the Indian sub continent Zak (talk) 14:28, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Object - large swathes of unsourced content. POV quotes headlining sections, some by poets not historians. A novel is cited as a source about ten times. Article should not be written with contractions.  YellowMonkey  ( cricket calendar poll! ) 00:52, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Oppose. The nominators should save this off to their hard drive(s)... Can someone please tutor these folks in writing? I'm not joking or being sarcastic... Alas, I fear that one or more contributors may be less than fully adept at the task of citing/quoting. I fear this article may be rife with copyvio (?), as at least the bit about "an equal and dreadful concert" is lifted directly from The Fall of the Moghul Empire in Hindustan (Keene), and can be found repeatedly in Google Books... I didn't look for further examples, nor did I check the licensing issues. Perhaps someone else should.. Ling.Nut (talk&mdash;WP:3IAR) 13:00, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
