[edit] LTTE casualties

There is no mention of LTTE casualties on this page. It almost makes it seem as if the LTTE emerged unscathed from the conflict besides presenting Indian and the IPKF in a very negative way.

[edit] Addition of NPOV tag

An NPOV tag has been added (by me) to the section dealing with massacres. This is because, first the section of th article uses a number of weasel words, with or without intent of exaggeration, in violation of the NPOV policy. Secondly, the reference (ext link) it provides cites one massacre (I am not trying to justify this barbarism) but goes on to claim numerous massacres.Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a propaganda tool, please keep this in mind when you write.130.209.6.40 20:00, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Removed tag as content improved RaveenS 17:17, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edits

Hi SINHALAPOWEr, You seem to mark some of your edits as minor edits, when they may be thought of as otherwise. Usually, it's safer to err on non-minor side; there's no real harm of not marking a real minor edit as a minor one. Usually, if you add something new, or reverted a deletion, think twice before marking it as a minor edit. Guideline is at Help:Minor_edit. It says, "any change that affects the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it is only a single word.".

[edit] Civilian deaths caused by IPKF

Re: "Indian People Killing Force", the text seems misleading. Isn't one of the main reasons for the nickname the deaths of Sri Lankan civilians, not just IPKF troops?

For stats on IPKF-caused civilian deaths, see work by the North East Secretariat on Human Rights (NESOHR), for example "Statistics on Civilians Affected by War in Northeast, 1974-2004: Disappeared, Deaths, Torture, Disabled, Arrested, Mentally Affected." January 2005. http://nesohr.org/human-rights-reports/StatisticsOnCiviliansAffectedByWar.pdf?PHPSESSID=

[edit] Removed Rapes by IPKF

The follwing para was removed The number of rapes committed by the IPKF is innumerable. They have scarred the tamil people, by notoriously raping tamil women during their operation, whether young or old. The physcological damage left by them on these young women were immense. Thousand are thought to have been raped during the IPKF occupation. Because no citations yet. Please add back a version of credible citations are found. Thanks RaveenS

[edit] Incomplete and biased

a)it doesnt list out the major operations conducted and there outcome b)order of battle c)what was the role of sri lankan army d)who was incharge of what ,who commanded the IPKF, and the sri lankan army. e)any medals given f)important events setbacks ,achievements, turning points. I have some of that info but primarily from bharat rakshak :-/ I would be uploading that in some time. Any other gud source let me know.

The only thing it has highlighted is the IPKF was a failure and they were a bunch of rapist.I think this page seems to be a propoganda page primarily for LTTE :P. Armybrat 12:53, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
