Talk:Narendra Modi#rfc 4B80F01

Whole page of Narendra Modi cites the sources of 2015 to 2021 in the articles Sources needed to be updated and to be written as of now.

whole lead is written so negatively, only criticism like someone from opposition od his hater has written it all. No mention of his initiatives and success in his premiership. Futureisbright5 (talk) 16:22, 15 June 2025 (UTC)Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Rahil1610

{{edit extended-protected|Narendra Modi|answered=yes}}

I request the addition of the following images to the relevant sections of the Narendra Modi article:

Please add this image to highlight major infrastructure achievements:

File:Prime_Minister_of_Bharat_Shri_Narendra_Damodardas_Modi_near_Chenab_Bridge.jpg near the Chenab Bridge — the world’s highest railway bridge — symbolizing key infrastructure development under his government.]]

• Rationale:* The Chenab Bridge is a landmark infrastructure accomplishment completed during Modi’s tenure and represents India’s engineering capabilities.

Please add the following images:

1. File:PM_Narendra_Modi_Saluting_the_Air_Warriors_and_Soldiers_at_Adampur_airforce_base_-_Operation_Sindoor.jpg saluting the Indian Air Force personnel during Operation Sindoor at Adampur Air Force Base.]]

2. File:Bharat_Mata_Ki_Jai_-PM_Narendra_Modi_at_Adampur_airforce_base_with_Soldiers-_Operation_Sindoor.jpg during Operation Sindoor.]]

• Rationale:* These images reflect the Prime Minister's engagement with the armed forces and symbolize national defence efforts. 8diq (talk) 06:13, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

According to Modi and his neighbours, he worked infrequently in his father's tea stall in the Vadnagar railway station.{{citation|last1=Chatterji|first1=Angana P.|last2=Hansen|first2=Thomas Blom|last3=Jaffrelot|first3=Christophe|editor1-last=Chatterji|editor1-first=Angana P.|editor2-last=Hansen|editor2-first=Thomas Blom|editor3-last=Jaffrelot|editor3-first=Christophe|chapter=Introduction|title=Majoritarian State: How Hindu Nationalism Is Changing India|publisher=Oxford University Press|year=2019|page=3|isbn=978-0-19-007817-1|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zcObDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA3}}{{citation|last=Roberts|first=Adam|title=Superfast Primetime Ultimate Nation: The Relentless Invention of Modern India|publisher=Public Affairs|year=2017|isbn=978-1-61039-670-7|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9tLuDQAAQBAJ&pg=PT212}}{{citation|last=Roberts|first=Adam|title=Special Report, India: Modi's many tasks|publisher=Economist|location=London|date=23 May 2015|url=https://www.economist.com/sites/default/files/20150523_india.pdf|access-date=22 December 2021|archive-date=22 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211222022910/https://www.economist.com/sites/default/files/20150523_india.pdf|url-status=live}}

• The first citation says "he had to work in his father's tea shop on the railway platform when he was a child."
• The second citation is to a 336 page book. No page number is given. The Google Books URL did not allow me access to the book.
• The third citation says "Most of them recall something of the childhood of Narendra Modi ... He rarely helped his father with the tea stall."

The second citation does not add anything - unless anyone objects I will delete it.-- Toddy1 (talk) 08:14, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

{{hidden ping|EarthDude}} An editor has restructured some notes that had citations in two steps: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Narendra_Modi&diff=1296150914&oldid=1296012106 step 1], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Narendra_Modi&diff=1296153184&oldid=1296151496 step 2]. Before the edits individual notes looked like this:

:Sources describing that India has experienced a backslide in democracy:^{[23][24][25][26][27]}

Now individual notes look like this:

If the article is going to have this, it would be better if these "notes" were moved from the notes section into the references section.

In addition, the other "notes" that listed sources said what the sources were listed for, for example, "Sources describing Modi's administration as complicit in the 2002 violence:", but for some reason the example above had this removed. I think "Sources describing that India has experienced a backslide in democracy" should be restored.

Finally, Modi's India: Hindu Nationalism and the Rise of Ethnic Democracy is a book - the citation adds no value without a page number. I do not understand why it was added to the example above - the point already have five citations! Adding that one was citation overkill.-- Toddy1 (talk) 06:05, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

:Im fine with moving them to the references section. I've also removed the Jaffrelot book. After another thought, it really was overkill haha EarthDude (talk) 06:33, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

Add this in section Awards and recognition
