== Vandalism ==

For the past few days some IP puppets have been trying to edit article without proper citation. The only active link available in the source section of article contains details of 2 first hand accounts of the extent of damage done during the attack and a further link to a Pakistani site which gives details about how attack was carried out with little resistance. There is no mention of destruction of radar center in first hand reviews of damage done or in Pakistani sources. The Pakistani source calls the attack a success as far as firing required amount of shells without any resistance is concerned. This does not mean that the objectives of the mission were achieved and radar center was destroyed.--] (]) 08:02, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
: after the removal of SEMI PROTECT template from the article . we have some more vandalism attempts. i propose that the page should be put again in SEMI PROTECT template to prevent IP vandalism ]. regards --] (]) 01:41, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

== Article is about Dwarka ==

I would here like to state that the article is about Operation Dwarka and not Bombay so the results should contain what happened at Dwarka. The Pakistani Navy did not undertake any operation at Bombay except patrolling it's only submarine around Bombay which is not considered an operation. Moreover multiple records including the ones in sources Dwarka in fact led to Indian Navy moving some of it's ships to patrol waters around Dwarka to deter any further Pakistani operation in that area.--] (]) 18:39, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

PAKISTAN DEFENCE JOURNAL is not reliable according to wikipedia anymore so stop inserting it. ] (]) 11:00, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Your source does not say any thing about Operation Dwarka or it's result. It only states that whole Indian navy restricted it's activities to Indian shores and harbors not necessary Bombay due to neglet of Navy by Indian Government. Also do not remove reliable source form California Press. Your source is out of context and cannot be used in as a source in result section. Please to don't any further until issue is resolved on talk page.--] (]) 12:36, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

You can see in the link that your source does not even contain the word Dwarka let alone give information about Operation Dwarka.--] (]) 06:35, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


== Objective ==

The ] was unsuccessful because None of the stated objective were achieved . Though the article stated that "SOME" of the objectives were achieved . and they do not give any citation for the Achievement of Success. so i have removed that uncited line. Operation Dwarka is drummed up in Pakistan as Pakistan navy did not had "ANY" casualty and they succeeded in dropping bombs on Dwarka. which they say means the Success of Operation Dwarka. Whole issue is to garner public support towards defence forces.--] (]) 01:17, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

: dear ] if you think that statement "Operation Dwarka was unsuccessful" is a POV then please explain the reason. just removing content from wiki articles serve no purpose--] (]) 00:41, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

1. Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia. It as inappropriate to start with the operation being unsuccessful (or successful), info box is there for that. Its a haphazard way of writing this way.
2. You only gave Indian sources. Thats POV. --] (]) 07:41, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

:: please note that these are not my personal thoughts they were added by previous editors in consultation with the cited and ] source, and they seem to be correct as far as the citations are concerned. 2) giving neutral and reliable indian source is not POV. you are welcome to give reliable Pakistani sources as citations but please do not give pakdef.info it is already blacklisted. please go through http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_62#pakdef.info . As going by the current status pak def info is non reliable source. PLEASE REFRAIN from making edits by using non reliable source as it will only weaken your case and any other WIKIPEDIA EDITOR will revert your edits with all your hard work gone waste inspite of whatever you may say in its support . regards --] (]) 12:07, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

] Pakdef has not been mentioned in these reverts or on this article. Donot give fake evidence and make personal attacks about it. Vandalism is taken as a personal attack if no evidence provided. --] (]) 12:30, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Can we please concentrate on the ]? and the basis of your conclusion based on reliable sources.
Also you have removed the references that were previously mentioned in the article and associated texts so an explanation is expected for such editings. regards--] (]) 09:08, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

== Pakistani naval failure (]) partial naval success (] ->) Pakistani naval success ?? ==

''Pakistani partial naval success'' ? i have gone through the citations for for operation Dwarka, nowhere it claims that ot was a naval success partial or complete. Also there is no evidene about the damage to radar at dwarka . Just because it was one of the Objectives of Pakistan Navy and they bombed Dwarka, is it sufficient to conclude that the RADAR was destroyed ? I doubt this. please give citations in case i have misssed any of it. --] (]) 09:08, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Success of a mission depends on the objectives of the mission. The only objective that probably remained incomplete was that Indian navy stayed hidden in port instead of coming out to attack, hence the submarine ] could not attack them ]

I also found a neutral third party book that it was a ''successful'' operation.

::The mission objectives of Pakistan Navy are listed below.


::1 *To draw the heavy enemy units out of Bombay for the submarine PNS Ghazi to attack.
:::'' the ships in Bombay were under refit, while the active combatants were either on the East coast or further south off Kochi'' it failed to attract them for attack

::As per Pakistani sources, the objective to divert the Indian Air Force from attacking Pakistan's southern front worked as the Indian Air Force raids on the city of Karachi ceased, presumed to be due to lack of availability of the radar guidance, which was damaged in the attack.

The text you've inserted has not only POV issues, but also its a bad way to start an article.

Hagennos Please discuss your edits here. You have changed the wording in some of text which was clearly stated as Pakistani claims to stating them as facts. Now those sentences itself required citation to be there by changing the wording you are also changing the meaning of the sentence. Please explain yourself here and maintain WP:STATUSQUO.

Changed Text
It was aimed at luring the heavy ships anchored in Bombay into attacking the Pakistani shipsto enable the submarine PNS Ghazi lurking in the Arabian Sea to engage and sink the Indian ships.
When you already have the statement "It was aimed at luring " then why should we have another sentence starting with "The intention was"


Changed Text
As per Pakistani sources, the objective to divert the Indian Air Force from attacking Pakistan's southern front worked as the Indian Air Force raids on the city of Karachi ceased, presumed to be due to lack of availability of the radar guidance, which was damaged in the attack.

When we already have the statement starting with "As per Pakistani sources" then why we need to keep emphasizing it three times in a same sentence? --Hagennos 19:08, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
Hagennos Okay. I am going to self revert but split out that sentence since since it is too long and convoluted that in my view it conveys that as the neutral stance. Adamgerber80 (talk) 13:22, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
