I have delete the massive cut and paste by an IP user from: http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/LAND-FORCES/Army/Army-Chiefs/Chiefs-Army24.html. This text was clearly labelled "Copyright © BHARAT RAKSHAK." Rich Farmbrough. 13:39, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have just had to do the same thing. The information from that website can be used, but it must be reworded. Jll 11:41, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Weasel Words

I've just removed unverified, unsubstantiated and very obviously partisan comments from the biography. I've also left a comment on the IP user's talk page at (125.63.75.210). vIkSiT (talk) 22:53, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

@Gazoth: Do we have another image from PIB for him? If not then I can find and upload one. Please let me know. Thanks. Adamgerber80 (talk) 18:06, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Adamgerber80: Yes, there are others. I meant to upload a replacement, but it slipped my mind. Thanks for the reminder. —Gazoth (talk) 18:11, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gazoth: Thanks. Also, do remember to add the new image here as well as the [[Chief of the Army Staff (India) as well as there. Otherwise these pages get out of sync with image deletion.

PS: On an unrelated note thanks for the images on the governor page. That was very helpful. Adamgerber80 (talk) 18:19, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gazoth: Thanks for the image update. I will spend some time later and try to find one of his images in a ceremonial uniform. That goes better with the theme and is consistent with the other Army Chiefs pages. Adamgerber80 (talk) 15:11, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Adamgerber80: I tried to look for one in uniform too, but I could not find any except this low resolution picture which looks washed out. Just as a reminder, GODL-India doesn't extend to works by the state governments of India, such as the Office of the Governor of Arunachal Pradesh. —Gazoth (talk) 15:36, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gazoth: No worries. I do distinctly remember that there was one of him in uniform but with other people in the same image. It might have to be cropped out. I will search for one later and we can discuss which is better. Yes, I am aware of that and these image(s) were on PIB. Adamgerber80 (talk) 15:41, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Adamgerber80: A higher resolution version of the image in my previous comment was published by PIB. Unfortunately, the image was uploaded to Commons before GODL-India and is now deleted. I've asked for it to be undeleted. —Gazoth (talk) 17:14, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gazoth: This is great. Thanks. I had looked up that picture earlier when I was looking for a replacement but found the current one (the one which you added) to be of better quality. Adding this one would be more consistent with what we have on other pages but it is unclear to me if it will be high res after clipping it. (It seems that back then PIB did not capture digital images). Let me know your thoughts. Adamgerber80 (talk) 19:55, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Adamgerber80: Sure, it will be sufficiently high res even after crop. It's not perfect of course, its oversharpened, compressed too much and probably needs some white balance adjustment. I don't think those flaws will be obvious in the thumbnails. To make sure we're on the same page, this is the full resolution image. The one that you see on the description page is downscaled. —Gazoth (talk) 20:28, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
