What is going on here. Why not discuss changes instead of deleting facts?

Fact 1: The RSS is a socio-religious organisations that aims to spread the ideologies of Hindutva. -What is wrong with this statement? It's on the RSS's own website. I'll give you a source URL if you like!

Fact 2: The HSS was involved with subverting £2m of funds from the Gujarat Earthquake appeal into the RSS. I can give you multiple sources, both internet and print + several television documentaries!

The bit on the RSS is incorrect. I've modified the paragraph to include the correct statistics.

[edit] Non Verifyable Sources

There is no way to verify the Outlook and The Economist article since they are locked behind paid wall. Please provide alternate source or I will have to remove them. Sjain 05:49, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

They are accessible to many editors. Scholarly articles saying the same thing are also available, and also behind a paid wall for some people. We don't remove references because some editors can't access them. Hornplease 06:24, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Can you please provide references to the public articles that you speak of? How do I know you are not just making up stuff? Can you tell me the names of at least other 2-3 editors who can vouch that what you quote is actually in the articles? Also, can you site me the reference to Wikipedia policy which says it is okay to link to non-public sources? Sjain 00:41, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
What public articles?
And about the 2-3 other editors, I am afraid it isn't my job to go out and find these people. In any case, there are several scholarly articles that say the same thing; search google scholar, even if you dont have access to JSTOR, you'll be able to see snippets.
The appropriate policy is WP:RS. The Economist, for example, is a very reliable source.
About the 'making up stuff' thing, try not to be rude. In any case, we never know who's making stuff up. That's wikipedia for you. Fortunately, someone else who does have access will eventually come along and verify it. It's not like it's an obscure source. Hornplease 05:48, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
