The article narrates only onesided information from partisan sources.Please improve the tone with accuracy & objectivity.Al-minar (talk) 04:25, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Noakhali genocide's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

It is not clear what exactly is the dispute in the section 'The onslaught'. The section has been tagged as POV, but it hasn't been clearly mentioned what exactly is the POV. Therefore is there is no point in tagging the section as POV. I am removing the POV tag. BengaliHindu (talk) 16:27, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
This article is suffering from heavy POV issues, presenting only a single side as victims while actually both sides were rioting and inflicting similar kind of damage to each other. All views should be included in the article and it should strictly follow WP:NPOV. Please leave me a talk page when you fix the issues or discuss here (do not simply remove the tags). --lTopGunl (talk) 10:16, 17 June 2012 (UTC) This is one sided view of hindus while the fact is that mostly muslims were killed by heavily armed hindus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.148.88.173 (talk) 16:50, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
The facts from the report should be included in the article, mentioning the report itself in citation. BengaliHindu (talk) 05:34, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
Hello All, Apologies but not too familiar with correcting text or reverting to earlier edits and too little free time to learn... Intro seems to have various scraps of text inserted which need cleaning up. Regards Muleiolenimi (talk) 22:09, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
Greetings! The fact of Noakhali genocide is regretted but the tone of the article is one sided and expressed views are towards a particular religion. Bengali Muslims are portrayed in an unusual matter. I request to all the editors to maintain neutrality of the article according to WP:NPOV.

Debabar (talk) 20:45, 27 March 2013 (UTC)Why is there a talk of a need for neutrality? All the facts mentioned in the article are supported by references.Debabar (talk) 20:45, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
A lot of claims were put on forced conversions and rapes without any citation . Please remove the uncited material. Even the cited references are from highly biased partisan sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aliabbas aa (talk • contribs) 17:11, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

I removed a great deal of uncited pap from the article which was for reasons unknown reverted back in, I have removed it again, please do not restore it until citations are found. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:58, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
Already there is so much of communal thing going on and then on top of it this article which so full of myths and literally no authentic sources just some absurd things in many cases it doesn't even exist i don't know i ask the fellow members to please enlighten that how can this be taken to a dispute level . I.areeb (talk) 10:26, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
what i fail to understand is that there is no book The Great Calcutta Killings and Noakhali Genocide. Kolkata: Himangshu Maity. give me one pdf or preserve document or any way I can purchase it or view it it doesn't exists and the page says jizya was imposed there using that book as the source source number 5 the very 1st source has a missing title any random source is just given for the sake of it then what makes me laugh is this just copy the next line, come to the main riots page do control f and do control v and hit enter He explained the rape and molestation of Hindu women as natural because they were more attractive than Muslim women this is extremely sensitive and then nonsense as this to be on such a website of high repute
just a page made of weak sources look at the source 13 and 14 no where in the world i guess you can find these books just any thing Jump up ^ Mukherjee, Kali Prasanna (2003). দেশ বিভাজনের অন্তরালে [Behind The Partition Of The Country] (in Bengali). Kolkata: Vivekananda Sahitya Kendra. p. 37. Jump up ^ Whitehead, Andrew (20 May 1997). "Noakhali's Darkest Hour". Indian Express. I.areeb (talk) 12:01, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
Thank you yngdavttr for helping me out
any ways dude this article is extremely weak on sources — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oldnewland (talk • contribs) 12:18, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
Fine if you agree that there are things which need citation of which i am sure it is nearly impossible to find with AUTHENTICITY then why are you not letting them to be removed anything which isn't reliable shouldn't be there on wiki
i checked on the book The Great Calcutta Killings is listed here which you quoted that exists is no doubt by no renowned historian or sociologist. then why to quote it
Well even you know deep down that how well sources from hindu based websites are em not insulting hindu sources but they should then be backed by scholarly research work, published in unbiased publications and articles that are reliable which certainly isn't the case
Anyways what is the benefit of having an encyclopedia like wikipedia which should be neutral
I think it has also fell victim to biases and cooked up stories which certain humans have been doing in the past
Internet actually exponentiates this problem and the laymen won't understand to an extent I.areeb (talk) 15:54, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
As per 18 November 1946, the government confirmed death toll was 131. The Governor of Bengal, Sir D Burrows, in his letter to Lord Pethick-Lawrence, wrote that : "Up to date the verified deaths by violence in the two districts combined for the period of the actual disturbances is 131 and I do not imagine that the figure will in any event exceed 200." Given that this was the head of State, and not an obviously partial figure, I think that this figure must be included. On the other hand, the '5000 dead' claim is fantastic and bizzare. It should be removed. 27.62.215.85 (talk) 16:04, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
This article stated that the Kolkata riots was false news. Fact remains Kolkata riots were the biggest riot in Indian history. 107.77.230.220 (talk) 20:32, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
