citation and the next needs to be supported by the end set of citations." At the moment the information is not supported by the sources. The advice I left last time was that: "You need to go through the article sentence by sentence, word by word and check to see if every piece of information is contained in the citation. If it isn't, it needs to either be removed or cited." This has not been done to even the smallest extent and the article is, I think, in a worse state than its last visit. -
126:, the examples of problems are still present, and no work has been done to address other areas. Removing sources from a completed article needs to be done very carefully, and this does not look like that is the case here. Wikilinking magazines and publisher names is a waste of time for an article like this (linking publishers is nearly always a waste of time anyway): it needs much more fundamental work done on the text to source integrity, which is where this article fails yet again. -
316:"At the end of 1947": Singh 2005, page 192, last four lines. Singh says "shortly afterwards" but does not specify when, he does say that the infiltrators moved in on 22 October, a few days after Manekshaw's promotion. 22 October does seem to be close to the end of 1947, unless you only consider 31 December as the date fit to be called so. Nevertheless, I will try to find a public domain government source which gives the exact date.
359:, if you had actually read the article before commenting above, you would have noticed that points 4, 5, 6 and 8 were removed. This further adds to the premise that you did not even read the article before commenting, and just copypasted your comments from the peer review and the last FAC review, I would imagine this is violative of FAC reviewer integrity in some way, no?

withdraw from this FAC, as I don't enjoy being accused of rubbish like this, but my oppose stands. What is in that paragraph is not covered by the source - and these are just examples of the shortcomings of the text.

Knowledge has to offer, which is what an FA needs to be. @

I don't think it matters what I think, but it will matter to your reviewers if you state baldly that they are in violation of their duties.

At this point, I am inclined to believe that you will not support this article for promotion even if it is proven to be the most epistemologically sound article in existence. I do not know if this is a result of some personal animosity with me or the article or

Matarisvan, you are completely out of order. These are outrageous accusations against any reviewer. (They are, if possible, even more so against an editor who has taken 82 articles through FAC and carried out 478 reviews.) I am archiving this. There will be the usual two-week hiatus. I suggest that

Well I do reckon Ian will archive this within 24 hours, won't he? You have addressed none of the points of substance, only the resultant theories of mine. Also I did not accuse you of racism, only animosity, there is a difference. Could you just answer one question, did you read the article before

Manekshaw was posted as the commanding officer of the 3rd
