Following the Delhi High Court warning in ANI matter, the Wikipedia editors replicated similar edits across a few more large Indian media outlets including Aaj Tak, India TV, Times Now and NDTV.

Liars

The channel is showing things that are against modern free thought. Absolute nonsense. They even report solar, lunar eclipse as thought about 1000 years before and not only that they try to spread religious fear among the people by telling them lies like don't eat food, don't drink water, pray etc. Are we living in 5000 B.C. Shame on the channel for spreading such lies. A real shameful thing, trying to divert scientific advance with fear psychosis. Who gave them awards. Shame shame.Freeworldforever (talk) 09:51, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Aaj Tak is a news channel of the Indian language Hindi. It gives service 24/7 to the people. Survey gave the highest rate to this news channel. It provides nice service with full data of every news. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by B4binnie (talk • contribs). of 24.03.06

"Aaj Tak was voted the most trusted and most important news source in India"---This is very deplorable considering their mendacity and poor quality of their content. I am very saddened.

Aaj Tak is India's number one news channel pioneered by TV Today Network Ltd

-Obviously POV... no references reasons for claims

Aaj Tak is India’s largest privately owned news channel -no references

This channel is showing all kind of stupid and false things in the name of "news" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Raskolnikov0709 (talk • contribs) 09:55, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fake news Channel Ref:https://www.altnews.in/breaking-fake-news-aaj-tak-and-republic-tv-misreport-delhi-hc-verdict-on-aap-mlas/ this ref used in republic tv wiki page and use full for here too — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.45.37.122 (talk) 15:42, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Aaj-tak.gif

Image:Aaj-tak.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Extreme Vandalism

The 'Owned by' section of this page is subject to a lot of vandalism, with supporter of a political party adding the rival party's name to the actual owner (India Today Group). Please refrain from using Wikipedia as your personal scrapbook. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HarshithBhat (talk • contribs) 07:13, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done I have reverted the petty vandalism and warned the user on his talk page. If the vandalism continues please ask for page protection at Wikipedia:RFPP. Thanks--Neelkamala (talk) 07:45, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Great to hear that! HarshithBhat (talk) 04:43, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Owned By Indian National Congress

Pulkitbhatnagar007 (talk) 19:04, 10 April 2013 (UTC)Someone just edited this page and removed the above mentioned party's name. I need you to inquire into this matter, as it is of utmost importance to us that the truth should not be hidden from the people for which Wikipedia is made. This is a very important matter for us because if Congress owns this channel, it is very much necessary not to hide it from the general public.[reply]

  It was an unregistered IP address that put it there in the first place! Please refer to the version history and you will notice that it was just a case of vandalism.
  Best not to take this up as conspiracy theory. HarshithBhat (talk) 04:40, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to add Controversies section

a user is trying to completely remove the section as if nothing like it ever happened even there is a statement from aajtak on the whole issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.193.203.188 (talk) 20:58, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is no rule that says a "controversy section" should be added to every article. We do not add everyday news events like this to the article nor do we give undue coverage to it. Have you read WP:UNDUE and WP:NOTNEWS yet? Ugog Nizdast (talk) 07:50, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Some Proposed Changes

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined.

Some proposed changes

AnuragBisht108 (talk) 06:37, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The requesting user has since been blocked for edit warring (and a related account has been blocked for sockpuppetry). My initial impression was thus that the request above had been made in bad faith.

However, upon looking at the edit warring edits it does seem that some of the material the user has sought to remove may have been unsourced. If so, there may be merit to the request. I'd therefore be grateful for a second opinion. Axad12 (talk) 04:37, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is not unsourced but is already described on article body. Multiple sources are cited at Aaj Tak#Reception for this information. Per WP:LEADCITE they are not needed on lead. Ratnahastin (talk) 05:49, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for you input. I agree with you. Edit request is therefore

Declined. Axad12 (talk) 05:59, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sudhir Choudhary

@Ravensfire: I disagree with your revert here. Sudhir Choudhary did this reporting under the supervision of Aaj Tak, not in his personal capacity. The content belongs here. Ratnahastin (talk) 03:52, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, it was on a show broadcast here, that's a really tenuous connection. It's better suited for either their page or a page on the show. Ravensfire (talk) 13:22, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why would Aaj Tak (or any other news media) allow the content that they haven't approved before airing it? Ratnahastin (talk) 14:09, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Editorial independence - reputable news shows don't get "approval" from channel owners, but from their own editorial staff and reviewers. Hence why this is pure WP:COATRACK. Ravensfire (talk) 13:20, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable sources such as Siasat, The Quint and more have targeted both Aaj Tak and Sudhir Choudhary for spreading the disinformation. This content can be placed on both pages. Ratnahastin (talk) 15:53, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking of sources, Wikipedia’s credibility at stake as its editors target more Indian media outlets. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 19:20, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
