There is no mention of LTTE casualties on this page. It almost makes it seem as if the LTTE emerged unscathed from the conflict besides presenting Indian and the IPKF in a very negative way.
An NPOV tag has been added (by me) to the section dealing with massacres. This is because, first the section of th article uses a number of weasel words, with or without intent of exaggeration, in violation of the NPOV policy. Secondly, the reference (ext link) it provides cites one massacre (I am not trying to justify this barbarism) but goes on to claim numerous massacres.Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a propaganda tool, please keep this in mind when you write.130.209.6.40 20:00, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi SINHALAPOWEr, You seem to mark some of your edits as minor edits, when they may be thought of as otherwise. Usually, it's safer to err on non-minor side; there's no real harm of not marking a real minor edit as a minor one. Usually, if you add something new, or reverted a deletion, think twice before marking it as a minor edit. Guideline is at Help:Minor_edit. It says, "any change that affects the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it is only a single word.".

Re: "Indian People Killing Force", the text seems misleading. Isn't one of the main reasons for the nickname the deaths of Sri Lankan civilians, not just IPKF troops?
For stats on IPKF-caused civilian deaths, see work by the North East Secretariat on Human Rights (NESOHR), for example "Statistics on Civilians Affected by War in Northeast, 1974-2004: Disappeared, Deaths, Torture, Disabled, Arrested, Mentally Affected." January 2005. http://nesohr.org/human-rights-reports/StatisticsOnCiviliansAffectedByWar.pdf?PHPSESSID=
The follwing para was removed The number of rapes committed by the IPKF is innumerable. They have scarred the tamil people, by notoriously raping tamil women during their operation, whether young or old. The physcological damage left by them on these young women were immense. Thousand are thought to have been raped during the IPKF occupation. Because no citations yet. Please add back a version of credible citations are found. Thanks RaveenS
I purely agree with RAVEEN......
IPKF - are killers not peace makers... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arunjaja (talk • contribs) 10:46, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
Citations for the alleged rapes are difficult to find as information was highly supressed at the time. The absence of citations however does not indicate that these events did not occur. The rape of women and children is a fundemental aspect of this event in history as it contributed significantly to the Sri Lankan Tamil desent towards the IPKF and to the hostillities —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.107.100.206 (talk) 02:55, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
a)it doesnt list out the major operations conducted and there outcome b)order of battle c)what was the role of sri lankan army d)who was incharge of what ,who commanded the IPKF, and the sri lankan army. e)any medals given f)important events setbacks ,achievements, turning points. I have some of that info but primarily from bharat rakshak :-/ I would be uploading that in some time. Any other gud source let me know.
The only thing it has highlighted is the IPKF was a failure and they were a bunch of rapist.I think this page seems to be a propoganda page primarily for LTTE :P. Armybrat 12:53, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Links given do not lead to the article hence asked for cleanup if there is a better tag please mention it.59.144.15.223 13:31, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Someone may want to recheck the contributions of User:130.209.6.40 that I have reverted. They do not fit the pattern of vandalism I've been reverting and may have been actual contributions of content. -- Strangelv 18:00, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
There are other, earlier additions by 130.209.6.40 that I am unable to untangle here. -- Strangelv 18:15, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
The LTTE article claims that 24 hours after Oct 5th 1987, the LTTE had killed 167 ppl and 5 IPKF military troops, leading to the end of the Indo-Sri Lanka Accord. It also says that this is what lead to Operation Pawan. This page, on the IPKF, does not mention that - which Wikipedia source is reliable????????? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.157.232.246 (talk) 01:18, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
They were also special forces including Sikh Infantry who were the main cadets--DSuran (talk) 03:34, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Here is a source on Indian Special Forces. The website is Bharat-rakshak.com. Here's another.If you have access to a library, there's "Directory of Special Forces-Ray Bonds, David Miller.2002. ISBN:0760314195 rueben_lys (talk · contribs) 16:33, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
I'm still having trouble understanding what exactly is being disputed on this article? Is it simply on what forms of the name to use? --Elonka 20:13, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
This article will require some really hard work. There are citations listed here from sites like tamilnet.com. I have added a tag for checking the accuracy of the article. Will do so myself in another 6-7 hours. Shovon (talk) 11:13, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
The article Indian intervention in the Sri Lankan Civil War seems to have much more information about the military battles, etc. of the IPKF. Merge material from there?

@Drmies: there have been repeated attempts by several users to remove all mention of war crimes committed by IPKF from this page (please refer to the edit history on this page over the last two years, the last of which have been made from anonymous IP addresses from India). Mass killings and rapes committed by the IPKF have been documented by human rights groups and news outlets. There is really no controversy from reliable sources on this matter that these crimes did occur. The blanket removal of these crimes from this page amounts to a form of censorship, which at times can be made on spurious grounds:

Is it possible to make this page semi protected? Thanks Oz346 (talk) 10:59, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
It is worth using a picture related to the topic rather than the picture attached to the page here. The reader does not get the first impression of the topic to get a correct idea of the Indian Peacekeeping Force. The other thing what i see is that the facts and details about this topic from the side of Sri Lanka are not reflected in the entire article. This may be a violation of Wikipedia's main policy WP:NPOV. This is one of the reasons why the scholarly community abandoning Wikipedia and Lossing its Credibility as a reason. Please categorize as Undue weight article. RsEkanayake 02:29, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
