Lucknow

Nominator(s): Wikiboy2364 (talk) 21:55, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about...The city of Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, the most populous state of India. Every point suggested by the GA review and peer review are kept in mind and edited accordingly. I have worked on the article tirelessly for many nights, taken pictures and tagged them, and fully restructured the page keeping in mind the previous reviews. At last, i can say that i find this page on par with other featured articles on WikiProject India so hereby i nominate this article. Each and every suggestion is welcomed.

Oppose and suggest withdrawal - The prospects for promotion of this article are poor. There are many uncited sections and statements, and the prose requires extensive copyediting. Graham Colm (talk) 07:02, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I see what you are saying but can you give me some examples? because we both know each and every line in an article cannot be cited.Wikiboy2364 (talk) 09:33, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, yeah, actually, they can. Curly Turkey ⚞¡gobble!⚟ 10:14, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Really? never saw an article like that. Anyways i restructured the article according to Wikipedia guidelines and request to give it a look. As i said, criticisms are welcomed if paired with appropriate suggestions.Wikiboy2364 (talk) 11:03, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The linked guidelines say "All facts and figures must be appropriately marked up with the relevant citations." And the FA criteria says: " it is a thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature. Claims are verifiable against high-quality reliable sources and are supported by inline citations where appropriate." This candidate will not be promoted unless many more inline citations to reliable sources are added. Graham Colm (talk) 15:17, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I agree with Grahamcolm. This candidate is not close to being ready, and this nomination should be withdrawn. ceranthor 15:29, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Closing note: This candidate has been withdrawn, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see WP:FAC/ar, and leave the {{featured article candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. Ian Rose (talk) 22:05, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
