  • Passerby comment: Please include the image for DYK as well. It is unique in nature IMO.-Nizil (talk) 17:52, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
    • The image has some copyright problems, that's why I didn't include it in the DYK, and have now removed it from the article as well, see talk for more information. TryKid (talk) 06:03, 19 April 2020 (UTC)


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: None required.

Overall: —valereee (talk) 12:51, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

  • For DYK, all assertions in the hook must be cited to the sentence(s) that supports that assertion; I've added a citation needed tag where we need one added to support ALT0. —valereee (talk)
  • The assertion is covered by the People's Archive of Rural India reference appearing at end of the paragraph; the bulk of the section is sourced from PARI. Should I replace the cn tag with a repeat of the PARI reference or should I remove it altogether? TryKid (talk) 16:44, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
TryKid, you should repeat the ref at the sentence; that's a WP:DYK rule that expands citation requirements beyond the typical; DYK wants to provide an easy way for readers to check all hook assertions. —valereee (talk) 16:53, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
I've repeated the reference. TryKid (talk) 18:05, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
  • What do you think are the chance we can get a photo eventually? There must be someone out there who would be willing to upload one; this article cries out for it. I wonder if any members of WikiProject India could help? —valereee (talk) 13:09, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
  • There are lots of photos of the sect but I couldn't find one with a compatible license, Flickr did have one but it had a non commercial tag and therefore not suitable. I can try to reach out to possible donors and maybe eventually find one but probably not in time for the DYK. I've placed a request on WT:INDIA, someone more experienced at finding images can help. TryKid (talk) 16:44, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
Let's hope! We can also (up to you) request that promoters hold off for a couple of weeks before slotting this into a prep to give us a chance to find someone in that part of India who might be willing to go take a photo. :) —valereee (talk) 16:53, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
It may be possible that an Indian Wikipedian goes and takes a photograph; although kinda hard to reach, the place is a popular photojournalist destination. But I'm not very confident that it'll happen in a month or too, India is no Britain with great transportation network and then there is a global pandemic that forced shut all transport. It's one of those things that the Wikimedia Foundation should spend money on, getting rare photographs and organising events like Wiki Loves Monuments but for everything available at remote destinations. TryKid (talk) 18:05, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
  • ALT0 mentions that it's older adherents that do this, and ALT1 ignores that. I don't personally think it's misleading, but it's the kind of thing that can end up being called out at WP:ERRORS when a hook hits the main page. Maybe we could tweak ALT1 to reflect this? —valereee (talk) 13:11, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
  • I've added the word "older" to ALT1. TryKid (talk) 16:44, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
I don't see that? —valereee (talk) 17:32, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
Sorry, done now. TryKid (talk) 18:06, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
Tweaked slightly to reflect that all of them worship Rama, just the older ones tattoo —valereee (talk) 18:11, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
TryKid, please ping me when you respond so I don't overlook it! —valereee (talk) 13:13, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
@Valereee:, I've responded to the comments. Thank you for the review. TryKid (talk) 16:44, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
Thank you! lmk —valereee (talk) 16:53, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
@Valereee:, I've posted further responses. TryKid (talk) 18:05, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Promoters: there is a possibly fabulous image to come, will update Image now good to go —valereee (talk) 18:14, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Aaaaand I've screwed up the image in multiple ways. WTF did I do? —valereee (talk) 21:14, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
  • valereee, you didn't copy quite enough of the image boilerplate, which includes surrounding div tags: you omitted the closing div tag that goes after the main page image template. I've inserted the remainder for you, so it should be all set. I have also checked the image, which is in the article and has a proper free license on Commons, and is therefore safe to use on the main page. BlueMoonset (talk) 13:54, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
BlueMoonset, thanks! The image that shows up here is distorted in a weird way (it shows up as a compressed image, but when you click on it, you get the cropped image). Is that something I did also? I think I cropped/uploaded it incorrectly, but then I couldn't figure out how to undo. Just error on top of error with this one. —valereee (talk) 14:31, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this. The Mitra source is saying that they tattoo the word "Ram", not "Rama". Our Wikipedia page for Rama says he is also called "Ram". I think for the sake of consistency and to avoid confusion you should write "Ram" and pipe the link to Rama in the article and hook. Yoninah (talk) 18:14, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
TryKid —valereee (talk) 18:41, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
@Yoninah:, done. TryKid (talk) 21:21, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Thank you. Restoring tick per valereee's review. Yoninah (talk) 22:22, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
