Regarding source 33

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I archived various sources recently; the source 33 was not archived, because of dead link or other reason.Can someone fix it? -Admantine123 (talk) 22:46, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not finding it either. What I suggest you do in cases like this is go to the Nitish Kumar page and use one of the sources there, if it's still any good, even if it's not exactly the same article that was once used on this page. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:53, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding political position

JD(U) is a socialist party and socialism is a Left wing ideology. Big 14 (talk) 05:49, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Then better provide reliable sources. Read WP:RS and WP:V. Thanks--103.161.57.249 (talk) 05:55, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I provided Brittania as source what more reliable source you want? Big 14 (talk) 06:03, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Does the Britannica source mention RJD or JDU name?--103.161.57.249 (talk) 06:07, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh it doesn't, sorry my bad. Big 14 (talk) 06:11, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to add a simple line in the header that says the JD(U) states that they promote social justice and lifting up marginalized peoples, citing their about us page: https://jdu.org.in/jdu/ Reve (talk) 20:55, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jdu's ideology should be socialism and party colour should be green and white

Jdu's ideology should be socialism and party colour should be green and white 45.127.138.76 (talk) 04:16, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What about Ramakrishna Hegde?

What about Ramakrishna Hegde? Was he not a part of it? 🤔 Kpbolumbu (talk) 17:16, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Uh.. Opportunitism shouldnt be a Ideology

What was their ideology kept in Wikibox for longest time? That should be kept ig? Mayukh Mitra 123 (talk) 07:28, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to be well cited. Are you disagreeing with the citations? Please state your grounds for that disagreement. If you have a well-cited change you wish to make there, please bring it up for discussion. I can certainly imagine an appropriately reliably sourced change might be appropriate there. --Yamla (talk) 09:20, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What is well cited? You’re making a mockery, opportunism isn’t a political ideology. Every politician under the sun is accused of being an opportunist. Ideology of a party is based on its socioeconomic policies. 2600:8807:C0C1:5300:ACA0:2F7A:335D:9871 (talk) 11:39, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
