The party was founded on the ideology of being the benefactor of the local Marathi Manoos (Marathi people), an ideology that the party members felt the Shiv Sena had given up on.
Is there a way to restructure this sentence to avoid the repetition of "ideology"? Also, would it be wiser to replace "given up on" with "abandoned"? -- La Pianista! Sign! 21:50, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
It seems to me that prepositional phrases appear too often in this article, especially in this sentence (in which I have colored the individual phrases):
Here's another:
Somehow, the majority of these sentences need to be restructured to avoid the possible exhaustion of the prepositional, adjective, and adverb phrases inherent here. -- La Pianista! Sign! 22:17, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
The article says "In the night, 150 suspected MNS activists ransacked Pratap talkies in Thane, pulled out the print of the Bhojpuri film "Saiyan se Solah Singaar" and burnt it". Most US/other? readers only know 'talkies' to mean the motion pictures that started to have sound in the 1920s, replacing the silent motion pictures. What could 'talkies' mean here? Hmains ( talk) 03:22, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
Movie theaters were called Talkies even in the 1970s. I guess it must have been coined in the 1930s to differentiate this kind of theater from those showing the silent movies.-- 74.9.96.122 ( talk) 16:19, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello. I will be doing the GA review for this article. Here are some initial suggestions:
That's just the superficial stuff for now. I'll get into the text more once these are completed. The editors of this article will be given seven days to make this first set of changes. Nikki 311 21:43, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
-- KnowledgeHegemony Part2 12:47, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
I got your message. I'll look everything over later today when I have a bit more time. Nikki 311 17:34, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Prose seems to be the only problem left. It isn't quite up to GA standards yet. One option is to try a peer review or get someone from the WP:League of Copyeditors to look it over. It really helps to have as many outside eyes on an article as possible. You can't have a peer review and GAN simultaneously, but I think it is okay to request help from the LoC while a GAN is still open. You could also request assistance at WP:India, WP:HR, and WP:DISCR (all of which have tagged the talk page). While you do that, I'll do some minor copyediting, and see where we end up. Nikki 311 02:57, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
There is a little problem with the title, which says attacks on north Indians. The fact is, the attack was just on the people from Bihar and UP (to be more correct it's Bihar and eastern UP). Kindly refer the article - [1]. The migrants from Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Uttaranchal were not at all effected by the violence, which the title of this article otherwise suggests. Moreover Bihar is not always considered a north Indian state. Many a time it is referred as an eastern state. Manoj nav ( talk) 20:33, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
On July 2, 2008, a man identified as a Palestinian resident of East Jerusalem named Hussam Taysir Duwait (Also referred to as Hussam Duwiyat [1], Hossam Dawyyat [2], or erroneously as Jabr Duwait [3]), attacked several cars on Jaffa Road in Jerusalem, Israel using a front-end loader (erroneously referred to as a bulldozer in the media [4]), killing three people and wounding at least thirty other pedestrians, before being shot to death.

Even though it was a front-end loader (erroneously referred to as a bulldozer in the media) the article title was kept as "bulldozer" due to WP:Common name. Thanks, -- KnowledgeHegemony Part2 13:19, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
This article reads extremely lopsided. It is an attack piece on MNS and Raj Thackeray from start to finish. The article reads less like an encyclopedia and more like a magazine... complete with cherry-picked and boxed quotes. Apart from the serious NPOV and {tone}} issues, the article is blind to key facts like a) The court dismissed Amar Singh's case against RT as " false and malicious" b) There is nothing wrong or illegal in what MNS/RT are demanding - be it the demand for jobs for Maharashtrians or the demand for use of Marathi. The article keeps quoting soundbites from MNS' political opponents throughout including the one who filed the "false and malicious" suit and his political allies. Just because you attribute a Sonia Gandhi or Lalu's comment to them does not make for NPOV! The very fact that you're quoting MNS and RT's sworn political opponents is POV. Also, while the article is quick to keep the score, it conveniently turns a blind eye to the support Raj has got even from political opponents like Rane and Pawar. It is equally blind to the attacks on Marathi schools and people in Bihar. Unless this egregious POV-pushing is stopped and the article is rewritten to tone down the sensationalism (by omission and commission), I will be tagging the article.

A group of unidentified men beat to death a 25-year-old migrant labourer from Uttar Pradesh in Mumbai on October 28 2008. Dharam Dev, along with three other labourers from UP, were travelling to Kurla on a Mumbai local train from Khopoli to Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus when the group started beating them up after a brawl. Following the incident, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati has written to the Prime Minister, seeking the Centre’s immediate intervention and a probe into the case. UP migrant lynched on Mumbai local train; Mayawati demands probe
While political leaders struggle for some solution to solve the hate crime problem - few scientist can be much more helpful to solve this crisis. Read this - this is out of discussion of WP - but not a spam. -- GPPande talk! 20:26, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
North Indian is a large area. whilst this entry is only baout UP and Bihar. The title needs to reflect this recommed it changes to 2008 Attacks on Uttar Pradesh and Bihari migrants in Maharashtra or somthing like that Not-Ashamed ( talk) 16:06, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
There seems to be a little error in the sub-section Local vernacular media. It mentions Indian Express editor Sudheendra Kulkarni's open letter in Lokmat (Marathi newspaper owned by The Indian Express) to Raj Thackerey. Lokmat is not owned by The Indian Express groups, it is Loksatta. Lokmat belongs to a different group, i.e. Lokmat group. Also, Sudheendra Kulkarni usually writes in Loksatta. Please verify and make changes if needed. This article is a good article; it should not be left with such error. Shivashree ( talk) 06:38, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
