There has been an ongoing edit war regarding this. Specifically, references to Field Marshal Roberts's memoirs are repeatedly being removed and replaced with figures from Britannica and Dalrymple. My objections are:
In short, please do not replace Roberts's figures with some figure plucked from an unauthoritative or tangential tertiary website, or remove any contingent because some other site fails to mention them. HLGallon ( talk) 15:32, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
This edit war may well be in slow motion, but it is just the same ridiculous that the same small mention - relating to irregular forces - is being deleted and reinstated quite so often. Could those responsible please discuss the contentious issue HERE before yet again changing the text? For myself I have no idea what the deleters find objectionable, nor what the re-instaters wish to establish. Thomas Peardew ( talk) 14:32, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
Fully five thousand men from various quarters poured into Delhi as Ghazis ... dressed in blue and green turbans. All these Ghazis received two annas a day from the King. They usually joined in the attacks on the British lines... Several of the fanatics engaged in hand to hand combat and great numbers were killed by the Europeans ... and some Europeans were killed by them.
If IP's keep on adding material that is not backed up by sources I will ask for PP, make a case at talk. Slatersteven ( talk) 13:00, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
