Add the conquests of Peshwa Balaji Vishwanath, Bajirao I and Balaji Bajirao to the article. I will also try to contribute. | Shishir Rane | talk | 10:03, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

The article is starving for sources. Wikipedia policy states that unsourced can be deleted AT ONCE. I decided to put a citation needed on some places but I can see that it will not work. There are almost no reliable sources here. I am going to be NOT BOLD and wait sometime before I start deleting unsourced material. I am hereby pinging User:New Rock Star and User:Ghatus to add at LEAST a percentage of sources. I will be waiting two days so that you can add sources as I can see that you added the text. After two days I will start removing unsourced Thank you and happy editing. FreeatlastChitchat ( talk) 17:05, 1 April 2015 (UTC)(P.S you can ask for sources on wikipedia
It was a series of battles. One can not cherry pick one or two battles to push a point of view. It was a stalemate though the Marathas had smaller army than the Mughals. It was a long snakes and ladders war game. Xtremedood is pushing PoV by mentioning two or three battles separately and ignoring all others.
The perfect description is
War of 27 years was a series of battles fought between Marathas and Mughals from 1681 to 1707 in the Indian subcontinent. It was a series of battles. The war started in 1680 with the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb’s invasion of the Maratha enclave in Bijapur established by Shivaji. [1]
The war can be broken down into three distinct phases :
- Marathas under Sambhaji (1681–1689).
- Marathas under Rajaram (1689–1699).
- Marathas under Tarabai (1699–1707).
It was a long snakes and ladders war game involving a quarter of a century and innumerable long and short battles. The war ended with the death of Aurangzeb in 1707. It also paved the way for the Maratha expansion in the North. [2]

All his inputs are made on the basis of a single source of "Jacques, Tony. Dictionary of Battles and Sieges. Greenwood Press" , the reliability of which is questionable. By the way Xtrmrdood's statement ( 14:58, 6 May 2015 Xtremedood . . . . This article previously neglected victories by Muslim armies. I am adding some as to adhere to NPOV.) itself shows some sort of PoV pushing. Ghatus ( talk) 07:24, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
Ghatus did not properly cite the following statements:
"Peshwa Bajirao fought over 41 battles and is reputed to have never lost one." Nowhere did I find such a statement. There needs to be proper referencing, not just referencing a book in this manner. "After the Maratha victory in the Battle of Gajendragad in 1787, Mysore ceded Badami to the Marathas and Tipu agreed to pay 30 lakh rupees." - This was a deleted article that was redirected. Also, it is improperly sourced as well. No page number, no additional information, just a link. There is no record of Tipu having to pay 30 lakh rupees after any Battle in Gajendragad. This is a blatantly false statement. Xtremedood ( talk) 16:19, 2 June 2015 (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 Battles involving the Maratha Empire'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.

There have been far too many socks and POV editors involved with this & related Maratha warfare articles. Given how much this article depends on separate articles for each battle, and how much disruption exists across all of them, I'm inclined to dismiss the use of a summary style in this one, ie: to delete everything which isn't sourced directly here but instead relies on the sourcing in the separate battle articles.
