Importance marker
I have been experimenting with this importance marker. I first tried this in Talk:Independence Day (India)/GA1. Please concentrate specially on those issues which have been marked of High importance. Multiple unsolved and/or unanswered High important issues can lead to result GA fail.

I have made few changes --Tito Dutta ✉ 04:38, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Reference style
  • Importance: High

I can not understand the reference style in the article. Are you following sfn, harvnb or cite book? --Tito Dutta ✉ 04:49, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I had a very quick look. I think we are seeing a mixture of cite web and no template (but in effect Harvard style) inline citations here (the no template but in effect Harvard style is being followed for book references). Mixture of citation styles may not be a problem for GA (so far as I know); but if you eventually target FA, this would be a problem. However, I am not cent percent sure in this regard. To be on the safe side, you may consider re-doing the references, to make consistent use of some specific pattern. Safest (not necessarily the best) would be to use some form of templates rather than non-template citations. You can ask for a second opinion/third opinion.--Dwaipayan (talk) 05:04, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In addition if Harvard ref style is followed, particular pages should not be linked "Notes" (source) section (this is mainly practised for cite book) !--Tito Dutta ✉ 05:39, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I followed as in Ganesha, where books are quoted as refs and web/news are inline and come as notes. The reference section holds all the books to ease editing. Also all web references are in templates, while book ones are linked in reference section(the actual page where reference is found rather than the book link). Let me know for thoughtsSsriram mt (talk) 22:46, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm... I see even the FA version of Ganesha has some inconsistencies. That FAC was in 2007; I guess the FA candidacy is more strict now. I am going to ask Redtigerxyz (primary author of Ganesha) for commenting here. IMO, Ahalya has the ideal consistent us of Harvard style. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 23:53, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have seen that the style "books are quoted as refs and web/news are inline and come as notes" on many articles earlier, but this style is not in much use now.--Redtigerxyz Talk 03:44, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Will change to Harv style - it looks sleek. Ssriram mt (talk) 00:59, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
See the article India as well for reference style help, if you are going to follow Harvard style consistently. We just recently converted the reference style to Harvard style (using sfn) in the article Mother India.--Dwaipayan (talk) 01:31, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Or you can use cite book for all too! It is easier to follow references in cite web! --Tito Dutta ✉ 02:18, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I will complete it in a day or two. Just to maintain sanity, i am doing it in my sandbox - will periodically update the article to have sanity. Ssriram mt (talk) 00:03, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Take time. No need to hurry! --Tito Dutta ✉ 05:42, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
