Hi, I'll start this review. I've made some minor tweaks to the "background section" please have a look at and see if they are ok! auntieruth (talk) 15:16, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
- Update: this has been onhold since late June. I've asked the nominator to review some suggested changes and haven't heard back. auntieruth (talk) 16:03, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- I've tweaked and streamlined a couple of sections. Please review.
- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- Is it verifiable with no original research?
- A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
- B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:
- I'm going to ask for a second opinion on reliability of sources....I've looked at them, but am not completely familiar with the literature. One in particular comes from a blog, another is self published (sometimes an issue), and a third has a dead link.
- I agree with your concerns RE some of the sourcing. I had an exchange with the nominator in relation to another article they had nominated for GA. It clearly needed a lot of work to bring it up to scratch. It transpired that they hadn't been involved in preparing it for GA and was unlikely to be able to do the work required and the article was quick-failed. I think the same should happen here.

- It is my understanding that topics relating to conflicts between India and Pakistan are contentious areas to edit in so particular care needs to be taken to ensure NPOV. I think you are right to be wary of some sources as per my comment above. Zawed (talk) 08:39, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
