"Battle"

[edit]

I performed a simple copyedit here and removed content that was clearly WP:SYNTH or WP:HOAX. The copyedits I have already explained at Talk:Kathal Hil Patribal, I will address content that has been added as "Battle of Wanigam Bala", none of the references added by the creator ([1], [2], [3]) mention a battle, a routine skirmish with a lone casualty of a militant; very common in a region afflicted with insurgency and clearly nowhere near a battle, hardly meriting a mention even without the HOAX concerns (WP:NOTNEWS). HOAX concerns are valid considering the user has already been blocked from simplewiki for creating a very similar article about an unexisting battle.

A similar addition of "battle (s)" was done at the Baramulla district article (where this village is located). As explained above nowhere are these skirmishes described as "battles", moreover the sources added for Baramulla merely describe them as gunfights/raids. Also, Kashmir Media Service, a WP:BLOG, which is clearly not WP:RS. I have removed this per the above mentioned WP:SYNTH, WP:HOAX and WP:NOTNEWS policies.
