RichardSlater - regarding your editions of the Lashkar-e-Toiba article.

This is what I have posted under "Discussion":

"I really wonder why so many Indians who know only what government news agencies serve them feel so authorised to write about the issues of the country they have never seen and have very faint idea about. The issue of jihadi organisations in Pakistan, as with lot of things concerning South Asia, is a very complex one, and it would be better for all Wikipedia users to leave its edition to real specialists - political scientists and researchers. Imagine an article on Vishwa Hindu Parishad or Shiv Sena edited by an average Pakistani who reads only daily "Jang"! It would correspond to the level of your comments. Don't feel offended please."

First of all, I am not any jihadi or symathetic to the jihadi cause at all; just a political science student with no ethnical ties to South Asia at all. Your comments on MI5 are at best childish, at worst rude and primitive.

RichardSlater, you have absolutely no SCIENTIFIC evidence to support your claims in "Recent focus". You see, local Indian press is not the appropriate source of information for an encyclopedia - media transmits only the information which SELLS - media is business like any other.

As to LeT, why did you delete the information on the Parliament attack, that LeT has denied any involvement in it? Because it didn't suit your theory??? It was an important fact and should find its place in the Wikipedia.

Also, NEVER use emotional tricks in an encyclopedia. It goes against Wikipedia rules. There is no place for "dreaded terrorists", "innocent civilians", etc. Just give facts, NOT their evaluation! Simple. People don't want to know what YOU think about the issue, but only the facts!

If you are not mature enough to follow the above, don't touch Wikipedia please. Don't spread disinformation because it is dishonest towards the readers.

And if you would like to learn more on jihadi groups in Pakistan, I suggest an excellent reading "A to Z of Jehadi Organizations in Pakistan" by a journalist M.A. Rana. It gives you insight into history, organisation and internal power struggles within many of such organisations. Also you can find a few (unfortunately only a few) good articles on the matter in some Indian magazines.
