Fake article[edit]

This article is made to defame op india and I want to report this they have claimed that op India spread fake news with no examples what so ever103.211.52.225(talk)03:31, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia goes byreliable sources.About half ofOpIndia#Referencesdiscuss this issue.Grayfell(talk)03:33, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request[edit]

It would seem that OpIndia has been described by severalreliable sourcesas far-right, as opposed to merely right-wing. Examples: "the far-right news website OpIndia..."^[1]"Bellingcat identified two such far-right outlets–OpIndia and Hindu Existence."^[2]"OpIndia’s current avatar is similar to what a 2010New Yorkerprofileof Andrew Breitbart, the founder of the far-right... "^[3]"a case study of far-right media OpIndia."^[4]"How Far-Right Hindu Supremacy Went Global"^[5],(the site explicitly mentions OpIndia.) "The far-right news website has faced..."^[6]^[7]

And there further examples.Therefore, I request that the article be edited, with appropriateinline citations addedin both places, in the following ways:

#1: "OpIndiais an Indianright-wingnews website known for frequently publishingmisinformation."→"OpIndiais an Indianfar-rightnews website known for frequently publishingmisinformation."

#2:

Consensus needed for this.GrabUp-Talk 06:29, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that my IP Address changes frequently. In my opinion, the evidence I presented is sufficient enough for an edit, and there is more evidence out there. I kindly ask, what do you mean by your reply? Can such a consensus be achieved here and what is the threshold for it?2402:8100:24CB:B6DC:706B:CAA8:977:8E81(talk)05:18, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As I said earlier, there is sufficient evidence to perform an edit. I have presented a multitude of references describing OpIndia as far-right. Please note, my IP Address keeps changing, and this is hopefully the last comment I will be putting on this page, and I hope my request is assessed fairly, taking what I have presented into consideration.2402:8100:24CB:B6DC:706B:CAA8:977:8E81(talk)05:18, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
