The hooks also need work. No one outside India will be familiar with this award, and no one will know the importance of the Sardar Sarovar Dam project. Feel free to write more words to explain why this information is hooky. Yoninah (talk) 18:07, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. I will expand hooks. CE is ongoing. QPQ soon. -Nizil (talk) 06:12, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

ALT0a:... that Gujarati humourist Ratilal Borisagar (pictured) was awarded by India's National Academy of Letters in 2019?

ALT1a: ... that Gujarati humourist Ratilal Borisagar's (pictured) novel Sambhavami Yuge Yuge lightly criticised the Sardar Sarovar Dam, the world's second biggest dam in terms of volume of concrete used? https://indianexpress.com/article/india/pm-narendra-modi-to-inaugurate-worlds-second-biggest-sardar-sarovar-dam-on-september-17-4843132/

Full review needed now that additional ALT hooks have been proposed. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:51, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: the copyedit has not been completed. Yoninah (talk) 00:01, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Copyediting is requested at GOCE and User_talk:Nizil_Shah#C/E is where it is being discussed. After CE by one editor, I think one more editor has retaken the task. Regards, -Nizil (talk) 14:10, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

@Yoninah:, CE is completed now. Please review. -Nizil (talk) 06:10, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

Reinstating call for a full review. (Sorry I posted one prematurely.) BlueMoonset (talk) 06:39, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

@Nizil Shah: Have you completed a QPQ review yet? — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 01:42, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

@Coffee:, QPQ is being reviewed. -Nizil (talk) 05:34, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

QPQ has been done; ready for a new review. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 11:44, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
As there has been no full review yet, I'll start one for now. The article meets DYK requirements for newness and length, and is adequately sourced. Earwigs is currently undergoing technical issues so I was unable to check for close paraphrasing at this time. A QPQ has been provided. ALT0a is cited inline and verified, but may not necessarily be as eye-catching as ALT1a. However, ALT1a doesn't appear to be mentioned anywhere in the article from what I can tell, and in any case in its current wording may not meet the guidelines for hooks mentioning plot. My preference however remains ALT1a, with ALT0a being allowed as a backup. The review will be completed once the issues with ALT1a are addressed and once Earwigs is running again. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 06:17, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

@Narutolovehinata5:, ALT1a is now included in the article. It was lost during copyediting. I think mentioning the dam should not be a problem as it is a theme of the novel, not a plot.-Nizil (talk) 12:00, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Note to Narutolovehinata5: if Earwig is unavailable, then you can do what we did back before it was created, which is to use the WMFLabs Dup detector to spot-check against a few of the more extensively used online sources (most frequently cited and/or covering large stretches of text, or places where the text style seems different from the rest of the article). This should not have to wait on Earwig. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:17, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

I was able to get Earwigs to work and no copyright problems were found.

I am now approving ALT1a and ALT0a. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 02:20, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Note: striking unapproved hooks. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:32, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
