I've just tried making a few basic corrections to this article, but I'm not an Indian history specialist, and I'm really struggling with the sources available online. Most of the war is simply missing from this article, and I don't feel confident enough to fill in all the missing bits myself (though I seem by accident to be half-way to writing a new article on the Battle of Wadgaon, which I may try to complete in the next few days).

The War was inconclusive.However it has been wrongly given as a British defeat.I will edit the article with proper refernces. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.194.231.236 ( talk) 14:54, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

First Anglo–Maratha War → First Anglo-Maratha War – Can somebody extinguish all Jprg1966’s page moves since December 7? I fixed several of these (such as Anglo-Aro War) by hands, but there are several dozen to fix. Since many redirects were touched (due to a MediaWiki glitch) after these incorrect moves, a user with sysop can do it faster than me. Incnis Mrsi ( talk) 19:43, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
I believe that it is well sourced that the outcome of this war was indecisive and not a "Maratha Victory" as claimed here [1]. This claim of an indecisive outcome is proven by a variety of academic sources, including the following [1] [2]. I think that attempts to try and portray this war as a "Maratha Victory" is indicative of a bias, which violates WP:NPOV. Even the main painting of a British soldier allegedly submitting to the Marathas is unsourced and does not appear to have a historical basis. I would like additional involvement from other users in regards to this matter. Xtremedood ( talk) 06:30, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

user:Capitals00, the sources claiming that the war resulted in an indecisive conclusion is sound as proven by the above sources. What is your justification for claiming it was a Maratha victory? Xtremedood ( talk) 02:44, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

According to reliable citations, the battle resulted with treaty of Salbai. Here are some quotes from reliable sources: From Richard Ernest Dupuy, Gay M. Hammerman, Grace P. Hayes (1977). The American Revolution: A Global War. David McKay Company, Incorporated. p. 247. "Hastings promptly repudiated the Treaty of Wadgaon and sent troops from Calcutta all the way across central India to strengthen the Bombay forces. One by one they captured Maratha cities. In May 1782 a new treaty was signed with the Marathas, the Treaty of Salbai. Although it merely restored the status quo ante bellum, this treaty gave the British twenty years of peace with the Marathas and permitted them to concentrate their efforts against the French and the forces of Mysore." And James C. Bradford. International Encyclopedia of Military History. Routledge. p. 867. "The company renounced the first draft of the treaty of Wadgaon, fighting on until 1782, and, despite its capture of the fortress of Gwalior (1780), the only concession that the British could win was the cession of Salsette Island , which improved the security of Bombay."

"A series of skirmishes followed in which the Marathas thoroughly defeated the British. Finally, under severe pressure from London, the British sought peace. A new treaty, the Treaty of Salbai, was signed on 17 May 1782. It force the British to return territory they had gained after the Treaty of Purandhar.[3]
