Comments

• The lead needs expansion. At least 2 paras. In the 2nd para add about its specification, fleet etc.
• There are few issues with grammar and punctuation. Example- "GE has said that, during operations, real time real-time tracking will be undertaken for the locomotives with an aim to to increase productivity and minimize time duration." and "After winning the contract, General Electric started designing the locomotives which was were done by the Indian branch of GE Global Research in Bangalore."

"started designing... which were done"?? Really?! BTW, I am wondering - by any chance, was this change suggested by an automated grammar tool (just to be sure NOT to rely on this tool for grammar)? Also, I am not sure at all that "with an aim to" goes against "spelling and grammar are correct" (it looks more as a style issuechoice). Ipsign (talk) 09:25, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Ipsign, this is my first review and I am learning. so, pardon me if I have made any mistake. I check manually and also use tools to check spelling mistakes and all. ❯❯❯ S A H A 13:45, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

• Citations in the infobox and its info doesn't appear in the main prose. Add them under specifications.
• Sentences like "They will be used extensively for freight hauling and will replace the existing fleet of the ageing ALCo locomotives which have been the workhorse of IR for decades." in the lead seems pretty informal.
• The section "Locomotive shed" is not upto the mark of GA. It can be changed to "Fleet" and a prose can be added instead of the table.

I will do that, but when Suvadeep Saha56 comes after me, you have to be there. Field Marshal Aryan (talk) 10:19, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

• Omit duplicate links like the 5th and 7th citation.

ArnabSaha, check it now. I have implemented the changes you wanted. Let me know if any more is needed. Regards, Field Marshal Aryan (talk) 12:14, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Field Marshal Aryan, still there are some issues. abbreviations like UIC-1. citations aren't properly formatted. example- 14th citation. ❯❯❯ S A H A 14:01, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

ArnabSaha, Thanks for the suggestion. I will manually re-add all the citations.

PS. You might want to use   instead of space in your signature. (check in source mode if not visible) Field Marshal Aryan (talk) 05:36, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

ArnabSaha, I have updated the references. Please check it. Field Marshal Aryan (talk) 12:18, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

• I will go for a 2nd opinion, since this is my 1st review. ❯❯❯ S A H A 14:23, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

  ArnabSaha, No worries. Field Marshal Aryan (talk) 16:16, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
