Section-wise Assessment

@ EpicSnek , there will be several corrections in the article. You can help with correcting them.

Lead Section

● The lead section is very well-written. There are no grammatical errors, sentence constrction errors, typos, etc.
● There is info like 'Karnataka is the sixth largest state', etc. etc. Could any recent reliable sources be provided just to back all such statements?
● Images are clear with no copyright violations

I have Edited the page to include data from the most recent census that had the information and I also revised some numbers which were not corresponding with the census data. EpicSnek ^{Talk to me here} 02:40, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

History

● Again, this is written very well
● Harihara is wrongly linked (this is the correct link). Please relink correctly.
● In the last line, about Vishveshwaraya, just mentioning him is enough. No need to write about birthplace, which readers can get to know by clinking on his link.
● I believe that the Vijaynagara dynasty was one of the most important dynasty, and everything flourished under Krishnadevaraya's rule. However, such an important ruler has not been mentioned anywhere in the article.
● File:Mallikarjuna and Kasivisvanatha temples at Pattadakal.jpg - Image is fine

I have removed the unnecessary information and added some information on [Krishnadevaraya]]. Please give me through feedback on the Krishnadevaraya section.EpicSnek ^{Talk to me here} 03:05, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@EpicSnek , the section is very good. Thanks for the corrections. Kpddg ^(talk) 06:48, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

● One more thing, Kempegowda, the founder and builder of Bengaluru, Karnataka's capital, who is a widely celebrated figure, has not been mentioned as well.

I have added Kempe Gowda I. EpicSnek ^{Talk to me here} 03:21, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Geography

● Written well; broad in its coverage
● Please provide recent sources for the last para which contains stats
● Image is good; could it be placed in a better position?

I have cited the forest survey of india in which such data is available. I have also moved the picture to reflect the page better. Kpddg Please give feedback on the page so I can improve it. ThanksEpicSnek ^{Talk to me here} 03:16, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Great. However, there seems to be an error in reference 64. Are you able to fix that @EpicSnek ? Kpddg ^(talk) 06:50, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have resolved the issue of citation.EpicSnek ^{Talk to me here} 03:21, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Climate

● Informative, well-written
● Could you confirm if the stats are up to date?

I can confirm that the stats show the most accurate information up to date. The stats given on the page are record statistics hence, they were added to the page.EpicSnek ^{Talk to me here} 03:21, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sub-divisions

● Good

Demographics

● First para is fine
● Most sources are from 2007. Needs update
● The city-population table is covering content

I have moved the city-population table and fixed some issues.EpicSnek ^{Talk to me here} 03:21, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Government & Administration

● Shift the image to the right or left side, it will look better
● Though sources are old, content is still relevant

Economy

● This section needs a lot of updates. Most info is about 2007, including charts. Some are about 2015, which is okay. But the 2007 ones need to be updated to more recent levels.

I have added citations that contain newer info. The banking part is still accurate even though it older.EpicSnek ^{Talk to me here} 03:23, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Transport

● Update info and references 106, 110, and 119

Have added citations. The work for new airpots is still ongoing.EpicSnek ^{Talk to me here} 03:23, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Culture

● Well-written and broad in coverage

Religion & Festivals

● Fine

Language

● Great section

Education

● Update line with source 147
● Fine otherwise

Have added citations from 2011 and shortened the line so as to remove useless info.EpicSnek ^{Talk to me here} 03:21, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Media

● Informative

Sports

● Great 👍

Flora & Fauna

● Broad & Informative
● But sources are old; kindly update

Removed unsubstantiated info added more citations to back up the info given. (Need Feedback)EpicSnek ^{Talk to me here} 03:21, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tourism

● Same problem: Info containing stats have old references, of 2007
● Images are good

Fixed issue of old citations. All information is correct in the section. Added newer citationsEpicSnek ^{Talk to me here} 03:32, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hold Status

Article put On hold for a period of 5 days. Please work on all the corrections. Then it can be decided whether to nominate to good article status. Thank You EpicSnek .

Kpddg Please review my edits and get back to me.EpicSnek ^{Talk to me here} 03:33, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks EpicSnek for the corrections. However, there are a few minor changes which I feel would help:
● Fix Reference 65
● In Flora & Fauna, it says that 'Karnataka has 38,720 km2 forest area', etc. The source is from 2007. Are the figures still the same?
● Economy figures and statistics keep changing. Most sources are from 10 yrs back. Add recent sources and update info if possible. The charts are also old.
● The image 'Norwegian Star' only shows the ship. It does not give any different portrayal of Karnataka. I feel it can be removed or replaced with a better one.
Otherwise, the article is good. Thank You.
