"As per several media reports" etc
edit2405:201:4005:9023:ccfa:53d4:f699:d9b6 (talk · contribs) repeatedly re-adds the below text, having been reverted three time, and refuses to engage in discussion:
- As per several media reports, the people of India perceive the IAS to be incompetent, self-interested, ignorant and arrogant.[1][2][3]
It is problematic for several reasons. Firstly, they are not particularly reliable sources for the statement that is being made. Secondly, the editor is engaging in synthesis, which is not allowed here. The references cited largely contain the personal opinions of the authors, rather than an objective assessment of the IAS. The fact that individual references can be found that say IAS is X, Y and Z does not support the statement that "the people of India perceive the IAS to be" X, Y and Z.
2405:201:4005:9023:ccfa:53d4:f699:d9b6 (talk · contribs), your attitude is also problematic. On Wikipedia, editors are perfectly entitled to challenge content, in the same way that you are perfectly entitled to add it. Once challenged, and reverted, the onus is on the editor who wants it to be added to discuss it and justify it. This is called the BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. You have repeatedly failed to do this, instead accusing anyone who reverts you of being part of some pro-IAS conspiracy, being Indian, being part of the Indian government, engaging in propaganda, being biased, working for the IAS, having a relative (only a male relative, I might add) work for IAS, or wanting to work for the IAS. These are untrue and irrelevant. You cannot sling around allegations about the motives of other editors because someone disagrees with you. It is clear from your edits and edit summaries that you are unhappy with the IAS - that in itself is not a problem, we are all entitled to have opinions on the subjects about which we edit. However, you need to now engage here and discuss the changes you propose to make, and ensure they comply with our rules and guidance, or your changes will continue to be reverted and you will cross the line into vandalism.

Major Concerrns and reforms
editI have overviewed the Wiki-Pages of various bureaucratic services which are referred as Top Echelons of Indian Bureaucracy i.e. IAS, IPS, IFS (Foreign), IFS (Forest), IRS, IRS(IT) &IRS(CIT) etc. It is very clear that all of these are not of common standard. Also it is seen that most of these sections are very poorly written in majority of cases. I propose to modify these sections in all pages as mentioned above. Your suggestions in this regard are solicited for better content, references and organization. JPskylight (talk)
