Removing Kapil Mishra photo
The article in its current form has a lot of details other than the provocative statements by Kapil Mishra. His photo just takes most of the focus away from all those details, as if he's the most important part of the entire article. I say his picture should be removed. Discuss if disagree. —Sarvatra (talk, contribs) 06:27, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Sarvatra, He is the central figure in this riot. He has to be mentioned and hence his pic is relevant. I have reverted the removal. I will add more quotes from Mishra. ⋙–DBigXrayᗙ 06:34, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- I am suggesting only to remove his picture, not any other content, as pictures grab focus. Makes the article look like more about him than anything else. —Sarvatra (talk, contribs) 06:46, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Sarvatra, I am against this proposal for reasons above. ⋙–DBigXrayᗙ 06:48, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Sarvatra, DBigXray Probably the picture of the person, who is arrested for shooting the policeman, is more appropriate to show the sense of riots? Secondly why the incident is swept under the carpet in this article? —staryash (talk, contribs) 05:16, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

How Kapil Mishra became the central figure of the riots? Is there any direct evidence that his statements lead to the riots. New evidences and news reports confirming that the riots were planned way ahead of his remarks. Tahir Hussain's home was used as a central point of the riots with alleged killing of people happened there. Why he is not the central figure of the riot? Who decides it on Wikipedia? Bishupriyaparam (talk) 09:50, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
What relevance does Amit Shah's photo have to the article? M4DU7 (talk) 09:41, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- M4DU7, he is calling the shots. ⋙–DBigXrayᗙ 09:46, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Can you explain what you mean by "calling the shots" and why his picture is needed? M4DU7 (talk) 09:55, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Home Minister is the in-charge of Law and order in Delhi. He controls Delhi Police and all the central paramilitary fources like RAF, CRPF, etc. All the law and order meetings are being held under his chairmanship. Hence all the responsibility for allowing this riot to spread and the deaths directly falls on him. This is exacly the reason wby opposition parties are asking for his head.⋙–DBigXrayᗙ 09:58, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- What the opposition asks for is hardly relevant here. I'd agree with you if the SC or HC called out Shah and held him responsible for the riot to spread. But otherwise, it is highly inappropriate to divert the focus to him. M4DU7 (talk) 10:15, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- M4DU7, I am expanding the content on Amit Shah and recent updates. Apparently Shah chaired 3 meetings in 24 hours, I will return to this discussion once ⋙–DBigXrayᗙ 10:36, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- M4DU7 The article did not say that HM Shah is reposnsible, the photo clearly mentioned the law and order is his responsibilities, I don't see any confusion, CM Kejriwal used the CrPC section 130 and asked the para-millitary force from Shah, but he eventualy refused on 25th citing everthing was looked after. So yes, its very relevant to add the photograph of the person whose responsibilty was to maintain law and order. Dey subrata (talk) 20:21, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

He is not a central figure in the riot since lot of such inciting statements were made by saveral leaders.Lot of unnecessary fear-mongering was done which led to this riot. Priyaraj544 (talk) 20:15, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Priyaraj544, The riots started a few hours after his provocative speech. Please read the news of Delhi high court today. Even Hon. HC asked to file case for inciting the riot. ⋙–DBigXrayᗙ 20:26, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- It would be better if this article is written without any self emotions and biasedness involved. Whole timeline should be mentioned from december protests, and provocative speeches made all over India, And pictures should be added more for the riots. Putting pictures of ministers totally takes away the story. Sra1du (talk) 01:37, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
- Sra1du Yes the article is written in a unbaised way only, if someone did something wrong, it should be added, there is no baisedness in that. "..from december protests, and provocative speeches made all over India"- Does other leader brought their supporters by saying "come there with huge number and will reply the jaffrabad protesters" ? Does any other person give such ultimatum to police and directly challenging police if not protesters removed they will take law on hand? Did thakur, a&p verma deliver hate speech or not, and is there anyother leader who deliver such in Delhi? Who are the people against whom court asked police to take actions? Better get your rationale straight and discuss something better than whataboutism. And those picture are not taking anything away from story, no one forbade you to read the article and to just look at picture and even description in the picture clearly says what its describing. Dey subrata (talk) 04:05, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
- Dey Subrata (talk · contribs) How is that the statements of Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi in Delhi during the elections calling out Muslims to fight against the law passed by the parliament are not the reason behind the riots? Bishupriyaparam (talk) 09:52, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Please add a line on the AAP Counciller Tahir also. Also, I dnt think the word persecution should be used. Instead, use the word ethnic and religious clash Arkadeep Dey (talk) 04:49, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
Sorry for the typo.. I meant to say that the word persecution should not be used. Arkadeep Dey (talk) 04:51, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
And through some articles of opindia,swarajya, I came to know that 'NAARA A TAQBEER' , 'ALLAH HU AKBAR' were raised. Pls do add if relevant. Arkadeep Dey (talk) 04:56, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
Please add Tahir Hussain's name too he is a bigger stakeholder of destruction than any of the names mentioned above Truetothewiki123 (talk) 06:28, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

- @Dey subrata: Consensus is clear here that we must not keep photo of Kapil Mishra with a caption on main article for now. It is clear POV pushing at this stage. Aman Kumar Goel(Talk) 17:02, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- Read consensus and POV policies, then comment here. And read the discussion, to me its clear, the picture of the person who is cause of this violence is very important for the article. Dey subrata (talk) 17:12, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- I agree with nearly everyone above that the pic of Amit Shah and Kapil Mishra are totally irrelevant on main article and they can mislead readers. ML 911 18:34, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
- ML, there is no consensus to remove the pics. I have added the images that were removed wrongly, these subjects are discussed in detail in every reliable source, on the topic and our article also refers to them at several places. So it is totally relevant to the article and is not misleading in any way. SerChevalerie, Kautilya3 Rashid Jorvee since you have contributed to the article, what are your thoughts. ? --⋙–DBigXrayᗙ 14:30, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

- He is not the only cause of the riots. I suggest we use a snapshot of rioters instead of his snapshot!—Spasiba5 (talk) 16:33, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
The photo is giving an impression that Kapil Mishra solely responsible for the violence, however allegation is only of incitement by a speech in which he claims he would not listen to police if the police does not clear the roads blocked by protester in three days. 47.31.154.216 (talk) 16:53, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Showing half-side does make this article misleading and creating false impression.
Twisting of facts and showing half-side of the picture does make this article misleading and creating false impression. International media may cover as it wish, someone wrote what is permissible for a newspaper is not permissible for Wikipedia. For how an international media may write misleading and incorrect facts see this
https://time.com/5757332/uttar-pradesh-citizenship-protests/ which says "... Anti-government protests had been brewing across India since almost 2 million people were stripped of their citizenship in the northeastern state of Assam earlier this year as part of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government’s National Register of Citizens (NRC) exercise that makes it mandatory for all Indians to provide certain documents to prove citizenship...."
Which is totally false as the SC started directing and monitoring the NRC in Assam 2013, even before BJP came in power and NRC in Assam has its roots in the Assam accord of 1985.
That Ankit Sharma was killed by Tahir Hussain supporters is the allegation by his family members, so is reported by NDTV who visited Ankit Sharma's house. The WSJ in later report made no mention of telephonic interview of victim's brother claiming victim killed by mob chanting Jai Shree Ram, on the basis which someone concluded that he was killed by mob chanting Jai Shree Ram.
This article shows only one side, no hate speeches by muslims, no rioting by muslims, no attacks on journalists by Anti-CAA protesters, no mention of Tahir Hussain,no mention of Shahrukh Khan who fired eight shot at pro-CAA protersters, less property loss to Hindus, so is misleading. By this article Wikipedia is very much serving as a #WP:SOAPBOX to serve biases and prejudices. It was as much riots by muslims against hindus as much the article connotes roits by hindus against muslims. 2405:204:3323:9B54:C0C2:C292:3543:4879 (talk) 07:30, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
Ishrat Jahan has been added under Lead figures
As per the latest investigation and premierly court inquiry, Ishrat Jahan has been added to the Lead figures. The same can be found in the third-party reliable souces published at Ishrat Jahan, ex-Congress municipal councillor, arrested for inciting violence during Delhi riots and Delhi Violence: Court Rejects Bail Plea of Arrested Ex-Congress Municipal Councillor Ishrat Jahan. — Sanskari Hangout 08:11, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Attacks on journalists by anti-CAA protesters is missing in the article
"Mere saat jo tha, woh chala gaya [The guy, who was with me, has died],” Mr. Napa said with a sense of loss. The reporter claimed that he was shot by anti-CAA protesters.

Only selective parts of sources are referred when suits
"Property of both Muslims and Hindus were destroyed with greater destruction to Muslim properties." source https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/26/world/asia/delhi-riots-kapil-mishra.html also mentions "On the other side, Muslim rioters have also been violent - some of them also armed - and a number of Hindus, including security personnel, are among the dead and injured." but for that part a different opinion is citied, which says most of dead are muslims. 2405:204:3323:9B54:AC73:9DD8:1917:2285 (talk) 10:19, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Three days and 20 deaths later, Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted his first appeal for peace.
- did you miss it ? %% --⋙–DBigXrayᗙ 10:41, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
- Yes
- Still the "After three days of violence with 20 deaths" prefix, removes the context of departure of US President, reflects lack of good faith, is there in BBC opinion source. As the NYT source [3] mentions "... Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who hosted President Trump as the fighting raged, broke his silence on Wednesday after Mr. Trump had departed, urging people in a Twitter post to “maintain peace and brotherhood at all times.” He added, “Peace and harmony are central to our ethos.” so maintains the context of US President departure so is not quoted here, but the BBC source which suits more here,. 2405:204:3323:9B54:C52E:6E2D:E178:BB9 (talk) 11:07, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

One sided discussionWhat happened was massive and there are several perspectives. I fail to understand why this article is so anti Hindu. Not that wiki is that influential but I feel one sided narratives in 2002 Gujarat riots eventually led to anti CAA protests and subsequently the riots.

Siddarth048 (talk) 12:50, 29 February 2020 (UTC) Neutral Point of ViewThis article is not neutral and is biased. It attributes the entire incident to a few individuals but leave aside the perpetrators of violence who on were caught on camera. It ignores that building of catapults, cache of of several trucks of brick-stones on roof tops, acid and patrol bombs show that it was pre-planned attack. This article brings shame on Wikipedia. If it can not be included, it's title should be changed to BJP party official's provocations to North East Delhi riots as it has nothing except that. Shooter at JafrabadIn the afternoon, a shooter fired eight rounds of bullets indiscriminately and also pointed his pistol at a cop who was trying to confront him. Per altnews, the man was a part of anti-CAA mob and initially was mistaken to be a part of pro-CAA crowd.[1][2] The shooter was later identified by the police was arrested next day after an FIR was registered against him.[3][4][5] References
@DBigXray: I have undone your edit. Multiple sources, including NDTV, have reported his arrest. —Sarvatra (talk, contribs) 09:07, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
And a man firing shots illegally in front of the police is not relevant? Similar incidents of shooting were also covered in other article about anti-CAA protests. —Sarvatra (talk, contribs) 10:03, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
@DBigXray i think the issue here is there is an identifiable perpetrator.The person confronted the police officer,shoved him and shot the bullets into the air perhaps as an act of intimidation.There was no reported injuries to the police officer however.User:UrbanCentrist
Hope the fact of foreign media coverage is not used as a measuring stick to edit the document and add facts. Foreign media is not free from biased reporting just as Indian media is not free from biased reporting. They are not a yardstick by any means. Also if Shahrukh the shooter has done nothing wrong then why was he arrested? He used an illegal country made weapon, brandished it and used it to threaten a police officer. All of the above mentioned are offences under Indian law.

"Intelligence Bureau staffer named Ankit Sharma"I would regard this kind of phrasing as WP:POV, because it suggests that Sharma was acting in an official capacity. He wasn't. He was simply a resident of the area, and he fell victim to the riot when he was coming home from work (according to reports). The "Intelligence Bureau" is entirely irrelevant. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 08:58, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
