Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on June 23, 2014.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that Narendra Modi's swearing-in ceremony (pictured) was the first for an Indian Prime Minister to which the head-of-government of every SAARC country was invited?


Number[edit]

There area number of contradicting numbers: Is Modi the 14th or 15th PM? Here is mentioned as 14th. The press calls him 14th. List of Prime Ministers of India mentions him as 15th. Which is the correct one? @Dharmadhyaksha:?? --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 07:05, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Press is calling him both 14th and 15th. (Narendra Modi to Be Sworn In As India's 15th Prime Minister on May 26 (NDTV) v/s Narendra Modi to be sworn in as 14th Prime Minister of India on May 26 (Deccan Chronicle).) While Gulzarilal Nanda was acting PM both times, he isn't to be counted and thus NaMo is 14th. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 07:12, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Alright. I guess that means the list of PMs will also need to be changed. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 07:17, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
We will keep editing it back to 14th. But who will make these loud newsreader's say right stuff? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 17:18, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

International section[edit]

The international section needs to be rewritten. We can perhaps use bullet points for each head of state with the flag icon as it is used normally on pages where there is an international reaction? --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 07:09, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sure... that sounds good. I have just kept the necessary info now in it from the previous chunk the new user created. Rewrite is definitely needed. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 07:14, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Doing. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 07:18, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rename[edit]

It should be renamed as Narendra Modi's swearing-in ceremony Shyamsunder (talk) 09:14, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Or better, Swearing-in ceremony of Narendra Modi. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 10:06, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Done Moved to Rsrikanth05's suggestion as we avoid apostrophes in titles. Created redirect on Shyamsunder's suggestion. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 10:46, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks . A few photographs of the ceremony are needed.Shyamsunder (talk) 10:58, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well.... am not invited! :( §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 12:14, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Doubt we'll find any CC/PD images of it. Most are from either DD or other Indian news channels. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 14:39, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Modi's Flickr page has most of its' pictures under CC licenses. We have to hope that this continues as PM. --RaviC (talk) 17:16, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article should be renamed as Swearing-in ceremony of Narendra Modi's Council of Ministers or Swearing-in ceremony of Council of Ministers of Narendra Modi, as the ceremony was for the entire council [PM, cabinet ministers, ministers of state (independent charge) and ministers of state]. It was not for only Narendra Modi. The article about the council is also titled as Council of Ministers of Narendra Modi, not anything else.--EngineeringGuy (talk) 21:36, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

But the article is also about who all attended. So shouldn't it be renamed to Swearing-in ceremony of Council of Ministers of Narendra Modi which was attended by SAARC-country heads and other dignitaries? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 04:02, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The title of an encyclopedia article is supposed to give the proper identification of the article's content (which, in this case, is the swearing-in ceremony, of the entire Council of Ministers, not just the PM). It is not supposed to describe all the details. Your sarcastic reply seems like opposition just for the sake of opposition (probably to vent your frustration with my edits to some other articles), and that is not helping. --EngineeringGuy (talk) 19:56, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Purpose of this page[edit]

The page reads like a press report. I'm uncertain whether this type of content is encyclopaedic or useful in a repository such as wikipedia. Can somebody clarify? Irfus 14:10, 27 May 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Irfus (talk • contribs)

This article is about a topic that does not really merit the need for an entire article of itself. There are no other articles about any other "swearing-in ceremonies" of any leader or politician. This article uses the Template:Infobox historical event, but it is hardly a high-importance historical event, and certainly does not need its own separate article. Maybe there can be a short section (much shorter than this article) about the ceremony in the article Council of Ministers of the 16th Lok Sabha. We must remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not anything else. Wikipedia is definitely not a newspaper. There is no need for articles about every event that comes in the news. --Sarthak Sharma (talk) 03:48, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why why?[edit]

@Lihaas: You added a why? tag for the statement "Kiran Mahida, a tea vendor from Vadodara who had proposed Modi's candidacy, was also invited to attend the ceremony." Why? Please use |reason= part in such clarification-needed tags as they are useless without that. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 07:09, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
