Article name should be
2015 Petlawad explosion, the place where actual blast has happened. Name
2015 Jhabua explosion gives misinformation at first because explosion has not happened in
Jhabua.
Petlawad is 38 KM away from Jhabua. Something happened in
Jhabua district doesn't mean that we should give name of Jhabua to it. If any blast happens in
Baramati (in Pune district) then we don't write name of article as "Pune Blast" because name "Pune Blast" gives first impression that blast is happened in "Pune city", same way this article gives first impression that explosion took place in
Jhabua city. --

An editor has changed the
DMY date format to
MDY formats.
[1]. Just advising here in case anyone objects. I really don't care, but when queried the editor says:
" .. it's in American English now, and if you want to change it, you need broad consensus."
[2]
Wasn't consensus required in the first place to change it to American English? What sort of nonsensical bias is this? I am objecting to this and changing the format and the English style. If it can go from Indian to American without consensus, then it can be reversed without consensus. Also pinging: @

Having been pinged, I am just a little surprised that an American editor can just decide to change the dates, with the excuse "it looks better that way" and then "it's in AmEng now, so you need a broad consensus to change it". Glad it's been remedied.

Yes, a little less than ideal collaboration. However, it seems that the bold, arbitrary format change has been undone, and hopefully everyone will be happy with the way the page is. I hope SuperCarnivore591 is Ok with it too, as the consensus, and normal WP practice certainly seem to be 'against' their edit.

It also seems like there is general consensus to keep Indian English. I doubt SuperCarnivore591 will be happy, but their reasoning to MDY dates look better and that Petlawad doesn't exist was stupid and lacked a proper reasoning. --

An IP 14.139.128.20 keeps adding that Rajendra Kasawa has connections with the political party of
BJP.
This source (
Indian Express) used in the article clearly states that the connection is "alleged" by Congress and that BJP has denied it. I have reverted the IP twice and have asked them to come to talk page. The
source which IP is using (
India Samvad) also calls it a "dubious connection" and uses phrases like "locals say". In such case it seems that claims should be presented as claims rather than facts given the
WP:BLP nature of dispute. Or not? §§

According to some sources, he did not die, but was arrested a few days after the blasts. According to others from later, he was still at large. Can anyone do some more digging?--
