Addressing Peer review feedback edit
I am starting to address recent peer review feedback from User:Z1720 at Wikipedia:Peer review/Andhra Pradesh/archive2, copied below for tracking. Request others to collaborate, or give feedback on the same.--Arjunaraoc (talk) 10:20, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
History edit
The History section devotes a lot more space to recent events than it does to older events. I suggest summarising the information more effectively and moving prose to the History of Andhra Pradesh article, which can go into more detail.--Arjunaraoc (talk) 10:20, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
- Word count for post independence section reduced to 688 from 1056 (-36%). Addressed. Arjunaraoc (talk) 11:00, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
Religion edit
Religion section needs expansion.--Arjunaraoc (talk) 10:20, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
- Removed the section headings to address the issue, as there is less content on religion demographics. Arjunaraoc (talk) 00:09, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
Family Health edit
The "Family health" section doesn't really talk about family health, with demographic statistics listed instead. I think this should be moved to the general Demographics section.--Arjunaraoc (talk) 10:20, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
- Removed the section heading to address the issue. Arjunaraoc (talk) 00:16, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
Administrative Divisions edit
"Revenue divisions" and "Mandals and village panchayats" need expansion. As someone who does not know about India, I do not know why any of this is important.--Arjunaraoc (talk) 10:20, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
- Merged the text into districts, as these are important administrative divisons in the state. Arjunaraoc (talk) 00:21, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
Services edit
Expand the two paragraphs of the "Services" section and remove the headings as they are not needed and cause MOS:OVERSECTION "Meanwhile, Jagan Mohan Reddy announced that Visakhapatnam would become the new capital when he addressed a meeting on 31 January 2023, relating to an upcoming investment summit." has a "needs update" tag that should be resolved. In general, be aware of MOS:OVERSECTION. Sections with a short paragraph should be merged.--Arjunaraoc (talk) 10:20, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
- Removed the headings for now to avoid MOS:OVERSECTION. The question regarding needs update addressed already. Arjunaraoc (talk) 00:34, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
Festivals edit
"Festivals" should be expanded or merged with another section.--Arjunaraoc (talk) 10:20, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
- Expanded with details about Sankranthi and Ugadi. Arjunaraoc (talk) 13:12, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
Native name edit
I think ఆంధ్ర ప్రదేశ్ should be added as a native name but there's no space in infobox for this and idk how to do that Helloisgone (talk) 04:10, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Helloisgone, as per WP:INDICSCRIPT, name in Telugu is not allowed. Arjunaraoc (talk) 09:17, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Rate | Attribute | Review Comment |
---|---|---|
1. Well-written: | ||
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. | Prose is largely clear. | |
1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation. |
| |
2. Verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check: | ||
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline. |
| |
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose). | Lot of work is required on citations.
| |
2c. it contains no original research. | Please ensure that the citations mention what is conveyed in the prose. E.g. There is no mention of Kalagnanam being written in 16th century in the quotes. | |
2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism. | As per Earwig, no major issues here. Some sections would be better served with additional sources. Say for e.g. Festivals largely rely on a single source and almost follows the source text. | |
3. Broad in its coverage: | ||
3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic. | There are quite a few sections with just a few sentences or does not have adequate coverage. Would be better to cover with some more detailing. E.g. Services, Air transport, sports, health | |
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style). | Some sections go into unnecessary detailing in some aspects and give undue weight to certain events/persons. Even peer review comments have pointed out the same.
| |
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each. | ||
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute. | ||
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio: | ||
6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content. | Most images do not have licensing issues. Some images have restrictions on usage. Please check. E.g. File:Zamin Ryot masthead.jpg | |
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions. | There is a lot of image clutter. Almost every section has a gallery of images which are not essential to the content with multiple images being cramped. Please refer to WP:NOTGALLERY and keep only representative images. The images and charts also do not conform to the respective sections and are spilling over to other sections. E.g. Meeseva office image in history, multiple images of rivers, companies, power plants, colleges, temples etc. | |
7. Overall assessment. | As per the comments, the article needs quite a bit of working. Say for citations, I have checked sample cases while the entire article might yield more similar issues. Please work on addressing the issues completely.
As you have worked on this article extensively and the article has been waiting for a review for a while, I am putting it on hold for the moment. But given the extensive rework required, not sure if you can address the same within the next few days. Let me know your intention on the same. Thanks! |
