The article is extremely POV. It is also written by a non-native English speaker and needs a rewrite. It is also unclear what caused this rebellion, was it nationalist or Islamic? I find it hard to believe that a unit of illiterates collected from various parts of India, that did not share the same ethnic backgrounds, but had only Islam in common, would be dedicated Indian nationalists -- in 1915. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.5.64.178 ( talk • contribs) 03:52, 20 June 2007.
I've read the article, and the English seems quite alright. With regard to POV, would you please give your specific concerns? -- Rifleman 82 01:17, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
The article refers to the Second World War several times, yet the mutiny in question took place in 1915, the time period of the First World War. Am I missing something? Falconeer ( talk) 20:38, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Editors might be interested in the article at http://content-www.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/77300.html which mentioned the mutiny and how it interrupted a cricket match. -- Roisterer ( talk) 00:26, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
The incitement section states that the incitement came from the Sultan of Turkey, and the next section states that the actual mutiny occured against a fear of having to fight Muslim brethren. The problem is, the units mutinying were Rajput, who are Hindus and Sikhs, and it would be extremely surprising if they reposnded to the Sultans call. This needs sorting out, there is something missing. I note that the Ghadar party is mentioned in the introductory sections, I believe this has more relevance to this (from my own reading on the subject while writing Hindu-German Conspiracy) since the Ghadar movement was dominated by Sikhs. Also, as far as I am aware, the Singapore mutiny was a part of a larger conspiracy of a pan Indian mutiny in February 1915, ie Ghadar mutiny. rueben_lys ( talk · contribs) 18:12, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
Is there any reason the article isn't simply called the "Singapore Mutiny" as, I notice, it is in Russian? The "1915" tag seems unnecessary to me as there is no disambig and it currently redirects here anyway! — Brigade Piron ( talk) 23:39, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
