Apologies if I did this incorrectly. It's my first article. I figured the section was too small to use the disambiguation page. Would appreciate someone pointing out any mistakes/improvements. Thanks! Neospooky 23:32, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Drawbacks?

What about the drawbacks?

Calcutta/Kolkata

I'm not sure what policy is on this but it can't be right to use both forms in the same article. BTLizard (talk) 14:19, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The logo of The Statesman is the official logo of The Statesman.--122.163.3.234 (talk) 15:02, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I mymac007 edited the summary of the official logo the statesman because this may have been uploaded by some but its a non-free logo and it is only for the statesman newspaper therefore i have edited and added some valid information.--Mymac007 (talk) 13:39, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 27 April 2018

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: consensus to move the page as proposed, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 00:45, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Statesman → The Statesman (India) – Not a proper "primary topic". There are at least ten other good candidate topics for "The Statesman" that are listed at Statesman. Several of them are other newspapers with entirely identical names, such as The Statesman (Pakistan), The Statesman (Pittsburgh), and The Statesman (Stony Brook). Some others have long-form names that include a location that is often omitted – such as The Austin American-Statesman (which has its website located at Statesman.com and a logo on its website that says just "Statesman"), The Idaho Statesman, The Dainik Statesman, and The Irish Statesman, not to mention non-newspaper candidate meanings such as politicians, owners of landed estates, and The Statesman (City of Heroes). —BarrelProof (talk) 17:54, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support - clearly not primary. Move, then redirect to Statesman. -- Netoholic @ 20:31, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support. No clear primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:51, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support, does not appear to be a primary topic. Paris1127 (talk) 19:19, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support Per the nomination's evidence that there is no primary topic.--Yaksar (let's chat) 05:24, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted Edit

My edit was reverted by an Admin , and stated the reason for revert as,"Blogs are not considered reliable sources." His statement was correct, however the source I had used was a news and blog site, meaning, that the editors/journalists publish news as well as blogs on the site, just like several sites publish stuff on their opinion page. I am requesting the moderators/admins to kindly reconsider this revert, and kindly communicate with me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Parlebourbon3 (talk • contribs) 17:17, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not an Admin and I was the one who reverted your edit. HillPost has no editorial oversight making it an elaborate blog, there are some journalists who publish articles on the site but the author of the article you cited wasn't even one of them.
