VLS cell numbers

Somebody erroneously or intentionally exaggerated the number of VLS cells this class has. All you need to do is google INS Kolkata and you will soon find overhead shots of this ship which clearly show only 4 8-cell VLS modules for air defense missiles for a total of 32 air defense missiles, but the Wiki page claims 2 32 cell VLS modules for a total of 64 air defense missiles. This is either a gross mistake or a plain lie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.119.64.112 (talk) 17:51, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Class name

Is this the Bangalore-class or the Kolkata-class? - Aerobird 17:43, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lead & infobox

The lead passes, but within the info box, you must convert all measurements.

Done Anir1uph | talk | contrib 20:13, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please convert missile ranges. QatarStarsLeague (talk) 00:18, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oops! Sorry, my bad. Completely missed those! Done now. :) Anir1uph | talk | contrib 03:31, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Development

Please establish the identity of Project 15A somewhere in the subsection.

Done Anir1uph | talk | contrib 20:13, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"...steel for the lead ship was cut in March 2003." You mention this twice. Please remove the second mention for fluidity.

Done Anir1uph | talk | contrib 20:13, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Construction began in September 2003 at Mazagon Docks..." In Mumbai or Nhava?

Done added Mumbai, as mentioned in the Naval Technology reference. Anir1uph | talk | contrib 20:13, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"St Petersburg's..." Please refer to the demonym as "Russia's" as opposed to the ambiguous "St. Petersburg's".

Done Added city's wikilink. Anir1uph | talk | contrib 20:13, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"...expected to be 30,000 crore (US$5 billion)." What was/is the cost of Project 15A? Can this data be procured?

Done That data is already mentioned in the section "Ships of the class". I have expanded on that. Anir1uph | talk | contrib 20:13, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"...US Dollar 1 billion in costs." Please abbreviate using the following symbol: $.

Done Anir1uph | talk | contrib 20:13, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"After finalisation of design..." If you are using British English, please ensure that this is uniform throughout the entire article, and then specify it on the talk page.

Added Indian English template. Anir1uph | talk | contrib 20:16, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't visible on the talk page. QatarStarsLeague (talk) 00:24, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Aah, i didnt add it to the talk page. I have done that now. Anir1uph | talk | contrib 03:31, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Design and description

Again, conversion is necessary.

Done Anir1uph | talk | contrib 20:13, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"...they are the largest destroyer..." Plural form, please.

Done Anir1uph | talk | contrib 20:13, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ships of the class

"...including the cost of spares..." Spare equipment and armaments?

The cited reference says, "The three Project 15-A Kolkata-class destroyers, bigger and more heavily armed warships, will each cost the navy Rs 3,800 crore (US $950 million), including the cost of long-term spare parts." I have corrected the language to be more accurate. Anir1uph | talk | contrib 20:16, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Are you unable to complete the table?

The table can be completed only when the ships are commissioned, which has been regularly delayed due to over-runs. Better to leave it empty than guess (No reliable sources exist for the same). For Home port,The navy usually gives out that info during the commissioning ceremony. No reliable reports are available for those either. Both will be filled as and when the ships are inducted. Anir1uph | talk | contrib 20:16, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the homeport matter was the underlying intent of the inquiry. This is fine. QatarStarsLeague (talk) 00:21, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusion

I salute your endearing effort on this article. Once everything has been fixed, I will pass this wonderful article! Congratulations! QatarStarsLeague (talk) 17:28, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

One more conversion to be made! QatarStarsLeague (talk) 00:22, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
