Taraknath Palit

(

)

... that in 1912 Taraknath Palit donated money and property worth ₹15 lakh (US$18,000) to Calcutta University for the establishment of University College of Science and Technology?

How about adding "in 1912" in the hook? The year makes the amount more important. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 20:32, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Now moving to the article. Banglapedia and Hindu School references say that he dies on 3rd Oct 1914. And he was knighted in 1913. That needs to be changed. Pincode numbers of both institutes are not required. Address is sufficient. References should have accessdate. Hindu College is a disambig page. Pick a right link if available. In infobox, dates should be filed in the given template, not written just besides them. Deed should be wikilinked. I couldn't find his photo. Weren't you also not able to find it? His all snaps would have been in PD. Anyways... rest all is good to good. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 05:54, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

"Deed" wikilinked, postal code removed, no, photo is not available at this moment, I can not understand the first issue, upto nominator, or I'll recheck later! --Tito Dutta (talk • contributions • email) 06:07, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
Disambig page linked to proper page and the blatant mistake removed. I confused his knighting year with his death year! Solomon7968 06:20, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Accessdates on refs are still left. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 10:34, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

I never understood what is Accessdate? Is it the date when the website was created? Or is it the date when I am referencing? Solomon7968 11:05, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Access dates added! --Tito Dutta (talk • contributions • email) 11:10, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Good to go. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 15:27, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
