The term doesn't appear in the body and is not cited in the lead. If it is seen here as a simple definition of wanting to expand state borders, why does introducing this jargony word in the first sentence help our readers? (t ·c)buidhe01:28, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Irredentism means, according to the OED,The policy or programme of the Irredentists. Also in extended use: any policy of seeking the recovery and reunion to one country of a region or regions for the time being subject to another country.. Do you think that is the case here?

If you want sources that have used the term, see, e.g.,[1],[2].

The term has been in the lead for 5 years or more. --Kautilya3 (talk)02:39, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I still don't understand how introducing this 5-dollar word in the very first sentence helps our readers if we could just explain the concept in plain English, and introduce technical terms if necessary a bit later in the article. (t ·c)buidhe07:28, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Because it is a common political phenomenon that has been studied by scholars. So it helps the reader's knowledge and understanding. That is what we are here for, right? To provide knowledge and understanding? --Kautilya3 (talk)10:52, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You can add that word which would be a minor edit. Why you are reverting eveything?nirmal (talk)03:34, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Myedit summary saidReverting WP:POV edits; whitewashing, removing maitainance templates, poor citations.

• "Irredentism" removed.
• "1719 to 1816" removed.
• References to Tibetan territory removed.
• "It isclaimed that the historical "Greater Nepal" extended..." : Removed
• "Gorkha rule" removed.
• "It was brief" removed.

It goes on and on like this. None of these removals had anyexplanations. The statements had citations too. You didn't care.

The POV map had a "citation needed" tag. You removed itwithout explanation.

You also removed the "Original research" template, after having added "based on the idea that theirancesitor [sic] had conqured [sic] that land in the past". And you added aWP:FAKE citation to justify your edit, without a page number. Where in that book did you find "ancesitor" (or "ancestor")?

You added a section called "Greater Nepal movement in India". But your content doesn't show any such movement. Neither does the source.

You added a section called "Controversies in mass media" where supposedly "India had posted a Akhand Bharat", which isprama facie off-topic. It is a wall mural in the Parliament building. The idea that it represented "Akhand Bharat" is somebody's interpretation (on Twitter). Yet you think it is fine for Wikipedia to call it "The Akhand Bharat" map? Have you checked all the sources on the topic, as you arerequired to do as perWP:NPOV? --Kautilya3 (talk)11:43, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We Nepalese belive that Prithvinarayan Saha did unified some 22 /24 and 53 small hamlets to make a big kingdom called Nepal which was formidable and fierce and the reason why British failed to conquer it. Greater Nepal at that point of time , was more than double the size of what it is today, starting western border at Kangada himachal in India to teesta west Bengal India in East.Bhismak1962 (talk)03:51, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

there was no india in 1805 than why this map is here in this page saying india in 1805. Don't show wrong information.~2025-35458-60 (talk)00:46, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
