I believe this article has the potential to be a FA, and I would like to bring it upto that level. I've listed this article for peer review to request for help in bringing the article to the FA level. Thanks, Tinpisa (talk) 18:06, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Needs a big ol' tidy, although it certainly has the potential:

You can't reference section headers. At the least, every paragraph should have a citation at the end if that citation supports the whole paragraph. If not, sentences should be individually referenced.
References need tidying. For example, bare links like [www.example.com] are not useful. Consdier using citation templates like {{cite web}} instead.
Try to describe everything about a source. Consider using the documentation for the templates above to work out what is required; for example, the title, work, publisher and accessdate of a website would all be useful.
Bold should not be used for emphasis in articles.
Either copyedit the article yourself, of ask teh guild to help (preferably both). Ideally you should be able to correct mistakes like "bombimg" yourself.
It would be usual to refer to the subject as "Singh" almost throughout, rather than "Bhagat Singh" often.
Make sure everything is referenced, for example "The censure motion was carried by 55 votes against 47.", "he case against B.K.Dutt was withdrawn as he had already been sentenced to transportation for life in the Assembly Bomb Case." and "Furthermore, Gandhi's supporters assert that Singh's role in the independence movement was no threat to Gandhi's role as its leader, and so Gandhi would have no reason to want him dead."

I think there will be a need to come back to PR after all of this has been achieved to re-evaluate the articles with regard to GA status. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 19:40, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou Grandiose! I shall do as you say! Tinpisa (talk) 20:37, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments:

A lot of work has clearly gone into this.
Worth checking through each of the references carefully. Ideally each of the web references (e.g. fn 64) should have the name of the page, the author, the organisation or name of the website and the date it was accessed. e.g. fn 64 should read something like "Letter, Writtings and Statements of Shaheed Bhagat Singh and his Copatriots, Why I am an Atheist. Shaheed Bhagat Singh, www.Shahidbhagatsingh.org, accessed...".
ISBNs - either include the hyphens or leave them out, but you'll need to be consistent.
IMDb isn't usually considered a reliable source, because anyone can edit it.Hchc2009 (talk) 17:30, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

All the above points have been incorporated into the article Thanks for your suggestions, Grandiose and Hchc2009 ! Tinpisa (talk) 10:58, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
