The source for "The European Union holds the view that the plebiscite is not in Kashmiris' interest" under >Efforts to end the dispute >Contemporary views on UN resolutions is simply fake. It doesn't exist, it redirects you to a bitcoin page. It is reference 432. Check it out. Also the claim that kashmiris dont want plebiscite is BS, here is a Reuters poll saying otherwise :https://www.reuters.com/article/us-kashmir-poll-idUSDEL29179620070813 include this as the source for the true statement. 99.230.152.36 (talk) 08:38, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not done: article is correct as written. Opinion on independence depends on the region. The article says According to an opinion poll conducted by Centre for the Study of Developing Societies in 2007, 87% of people in mainly Muslim Srinagar want independence, whereas 95% of the people in the mainly Hindu Jammu city think the state should be part of India.[405] The Kashmir Valley is the only region of the former princely state where the majority of the population is unhappy with its current status. The Hindus of Jammu and Buddhists of Ladakh are content under Indian administration. Muslims of Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas are content under Pakistani administration. Kashmir Valley's Muslims want to change their national status to independence.[406] Ref. 405 is the Reuters citation, and the text of the article is consistent with it.

Incomplete information can be sentimentally harmful. You need to properly address about what was done to Kashmiri Pandits too. It was a major case of law which was barely handled by the then government."Scholars" and existent people can tell you about that too if there's no research available at hand. There should be no evidence of right or left wing when and if you're writing about such a topic on Wikipedia. You need to cover all evident cases of Kashmir conflict not just what seems right and fair to one's eye. 5.24.167.94 (talk) 00:52, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done: I added information on the new ratings, but did not remove the old ones - it seems helpful to show the change over a relatively short period of time. Thanks for pointing this out. Jamedeus (talk) 09:27, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
