[edit] Tone of Article

It's a bit breathless in spots, no? Best to state "reportedly" re ancestry, since it is not backed up by other sources than Ganguli's statements to reporters. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.126.251.150 (talk) 16:56, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Is that speculation on your part? When a newspaper says "X's grandfather was Y", is there some reason to believe that the newspaper relied solely on X for that information? Certainly, if the story says "X said that his grandfather was Y", then adding "according to X" in the Wikipedia article is appropriate. But where a newspaper story doesn't qualify information, then why should Wikipedia? Newspapers do have fact checkers and reporters do talk to other sources, as well as research their own stories. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 16:44, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
