Talk:Upsurging People's Force

Totally Disputed

This article hasn't a single cited source and most of the statements seem false.

Since 15 April 2006, it has carried out a series of further claymore mine attacks on soldiers and policemen.

See the entry on April 17 here[1]. What are the other "false statements"? This group was claiming responsibility for all attacks for a while. That is a fact. The Government said it was an LTTE front. That is also a fact. -- Ponnampalam 20:09, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

The only mention of a "Upsurging People’s Force" in the article you've given is

Insurgency/Non-state armed groups: A message is received by local media in Jaffna from the ‘Upsurging People’s Force’ claiming responsibility for a claymore attack in Vavunya last Saturday as well as for a claymore attack on Sunday in Mattuvil in which one SLA soldier was killed.

Claiming responsibility doesn't mean they did it. Anyone can claim responsibility for an act they didn't commit. WP needs reliable sources. You can't just state something like

Since 15 April 2006, it has carried out a series of further claymore mine attacks on soldiers and policemen.

I have changed it to say "claimed responsibility for". For around six months last year and this year this group was suddenly claiming credit for all attacks, and was being mentioned by the BBC and other news organisations so I thought Wikipedia should have an article saying who it was, what the Government thought of them, and what the LTTE's official line was. Do you disagree? - Ponnampalam 13:16, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
