On Jadavpur Protest Article
That I've seen. I've requested most of the people involved on Facebook to not make willy-nilly changes to the article as that would just stop it from getting featured "In the News". I'm trying very hard to maintain neutrality myself, to be perfectly honest. And right now there might be a huge amount of repetition but that's only because I'm tackling the article in progressive chunks. So what looks like a repeat now will be gone very soon. And I was sort of using this article as a stylistic reference point because it got featured, hence the large lead. Is it really a problem? Because I intend to heavily change the rest of the article with the knowledge of my experience in the movement, backed by properly sourced material. ArkaBlue (talk) 23:31, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello Dwaipayanc - re your edit to Talk:Himalayas (Keep the current image)
I like the current image of Everest, but your comment doesn't seem to describe it. "showing variations in the geography and some of the highest peaks.
