I was a bit surprised by Wikipedia:Featured article review/Indian Standard Time/archive1 that there were complaints of so many references that didn't match the content, which turned out to be true. This article, also by Nichalp (talk · contribs) is the same; I have removed 6 footnotes that have nothing to do with the content that precedes it, and there is also a problem with "Hamfest souvenir" being used 6 times (not RS) and six dead refs (not-RS websites). Another problem is that a report published in 1979 is used to source statements on the current situation. Status data from 1979 cannot be assumed to be true for 2010. This affects about 6-7 cites. Per the FAC statement and Wikipedia_talk:Noticeboard_for_India-related_topics/Archive_37#Amateur_radio_in_India_on_FAC and Wikipedia_talk:Noticeboard_for_India-related_topics/Archive_39#Amateur_radio_in_India_on_main_page_today. the author quite often liked to tell people how fast he can write FAs, well, the sources in these ones don't check out YellowMonkey (vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll) 04:34, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
