What is wrong with the page and more importantly, why does it need to be cleaned up? if u dispute any of the information offered, then please read the History of the Sikhs by the distinguished Satwant Singh and everything will be correlated and justified. There is an admittedly pro-Khalistan bias in some of the GRAMMAR but not, i repeat, NOT in the facts...it's the job of Khalistan protagonists to display the facts in their naked form since understanding of these merely strengthens the call for Sikh self-determination
I rewrote the lead-in to focus it on the KCF, wikilinked the Khalistan movement, added sources.
I won't leave the claim about the KCF being considered freedom fighters long unless it is sourced.- sinneed (talk) 13:30, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

I am going to place the sources in the EL section, with a dubious flag.- sinneed (talk) 02:40, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
Commandos by By Icon Group International, Inc - Page 47
That is not the title, and the Icon group are, at best, editors...sort-of. The title is "Commandos: Webster's Quotations, Facts and Phrases". The book is a database dump of examples of ALL KINDS OF WORDING referring to "commandos." The book is a fundraiser for an online dictionary organization.
'Punjab' by Icon Group International, Inc - Page 137
That is not the title, same as above. The title is "Punjab: Webster's Quotations, Facts and Phrases". This book is also a database dump of examples of all kinds of wording referring to "Punjab." This book is also a fundraiser for the online dictionary organization.
I am not impressed. If I can identify the author, I will issue an appropriate warning.- sinneed (talk) 02:39, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
Needs more sourcing. There is also some content at Sikh extremism that could be copied here. Because the article was so very chopped up, with bits and pieces scattered, repeated, and unsourced, poorly-sourced, it was difficult in some cases to determine what the editors were trying to say... or there may have simply been a lot of debris from edit wars, can't tell.
Please fact-check, reference-check, and most importantly correct, expand, and Please Source.
Thank you.- sinneed (talk) 04:45, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I would advice user Sinneed to rad Dera Sacha Sauda and Sikh code of conduct first so that he could find that Dera sacha sauda is in no way part of sikhism. If some newpaper make an error then it doesnot mean that we blindly start changing the text of wiki articles. He can also read [[Sikhism] to find its definition.--99.51.223.161 (talk) 10:37, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
"Burning Daily Punjab" is a non-profit and very informative web site. There are several NPOV Khalistan movement related books available online, but in sevarl cases you will find some of their contents restricted or 'out of online review' under various reasons. But this site has finally put several of those books here. You can click any of these books and it takes to the 'complete' text of these books, as in the case of Fighting for Faith and Nation by Cynthia Keppley Mahmood case.
Kindly note that in 1980s, Khalistan movement related encounters/acts/assasinations occured almost on daily basis in northern India and all of those incidents were duly documented by both regional newspapers of this specific region, i.e. by The Tribune and by [Ajit but unfortunately none of them had any online additions prior to year 2001, Proofs 1 - The Tribune - Archives and Proof 2 - Ajit - Archives. Please remember, India is a developing country and NOT a developed nation, its newspaper houses were lagging behind rest of the world in terms of technology/online additions in the past.
Also remember, US state department says that Over 41,000 cash bounties were paid to police in Punjab for extrajudicial killings of Sikhs between 1991 and 1993 aloneCite error: A <ref>
tag is missing the closing </ref>
(see the help page).. Even Indian Supreme Court called the Indian government's murder of Sikhs "worse than genocide."[1], it was not a small movement, Indian Government has murdered over 150,000 Sikhs[2] under a big media blackout.
So if we really want to preserve the history of Khalistan movement related personalities etc, if we really want to improve Khalistan movement related articles on wikipedia then we must be extremely careful while killing/branding available sources as POV and or dubious etc. Past is past, new sources will not get birth, newly upgraded newspaper sites will document new history only. I have spend my days and nights on searching for seconday references, lets save the history. Sinneed, I consider your editing trend as very honest, I am requesting you to reconsider contents of this website. --99.51.223.161 (talk) 00:37, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

I think a mistake may have been made with this edit. I wasn't able to find what it refers to. It would be better for the article if we included specifics.--Profitoftruth85 (talk) 00:18, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
I added it for several issues. First, I dont judge if the organization is terrorist or a resistance movement, but as this is an encyclopedia, the article cannot state, quote: "Khalistan forces are freedom fighters.[6] And not terrorist [7]". Rewrite that in a proper WP tone, please. I also rewrote this: "Kanwarjit Singh Sultanwind, then 23 years old, was killed brutally in jail.", as the source given states something very different, that he commited suicide while in custody. WP is an encyclopedia, not a political forum, so please adhere to reality and reliable sources.--HCPUNXKID (talk) 23:33, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

DBigXray claims "it is widely used by reliable sources to describe the subject".[1] This is very wrong.
Reliable sources don't call it a "terrorist" organization and thus I am removing such POV pushing against WP:TERRORIST from the article. "Radical" is among contentious label, that should not be used. Harmanprtjhj (talk) 16:45, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
