Delisted GA; ineligible

Improved to Good Article status by Mahusha (talk). Self-nominated at 17:11, 17 July 2020 (UTC).Reply

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited:   - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting:  

QPQ:   - "NA"
Overall:   AGF on hook citation (have verified elsewhere, eg The First Anglo-Maratha War, 1774-1783); promoter to GA status has since been blocked as a sockpuppet, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 07:51, 18 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

  •   There is currently an excessive detail tag on the article. SL93 (talk) 02:17, 30 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
  The GA review was completed by a sockpuppet. SL93 (talk) 02:18, 30 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
  •   As the article is currently undergoing a GA reassessment, it makes sense to hold off closing this nomination until we see whether the reassessment closes as "delist" or "keep". If the latter, the DYK nomination can continue; if it is delisted, then the nomination should be closed at that time. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:33, 2 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
  •   The article has been delisted as a GA, so it is not eligible for DYK at the present time. Should it eventually be nominated for and listed again as a GA, it will be eligible for DYK at that time. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:18, 11 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

GA Reassessment edit

This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Baji Rao I/GA2. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

The article was recently accorded GA status by a somewhat prolific sockpuppet who clearly did not understand GA criteria. It is obvious from my recent edits that it fails even on basic issues, such as overlinks, inconsistent spellings, WP:MOSHEAD, WP:MOSDATE, WP:QUOTEFARM and WP:RS. In addition, I think Abbasquadir was correct to tag for lack of focus etc and I note that they, too, have done some cleaning since the article was promoted. I further note the comment of Kingsif here regarding the likelihood of a quick fail if the article were nominated as of today.

Despite my efforts and those of others, there remain significant problems even among the issues I have specifically highlighted above. I note that I had to remove one quotation because it had three cites, all of which had different versions of what Baji Rao supposedly said - that suggests we may need to review every statement against the cited sources. - Sitush (talk) 03:34, 28 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • Delist per the issues raised by Sitush. Clearly not GA standard at present. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 04:01, 28 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Delist, while I don't feel the article is overly detailed given its very specific topic, it is clear from an initial look that it could do with more work, including copyediting and a more sufficient lead (Criteria 1). Issues regarding sources raised are concerning. CMD (talk) 13:34, 28 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Delist, per the concerns raised above and my comments here. Vanamonde (Talk) 14:48, 11 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Delist, I was quite surprised that it was granted GA status. Jonathansammy (talk) 15:01, 11 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Outcome - clear consensus that the GA assessment by what turned out to be a sock was flawed and the article remains below GA standard. Delisting. - Sitush (talk) 17:23, 11 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Addition of information in second and third paragraph edit

Add Battle of Palkhed link in second para, add that as it happened in 1728 before maratha invasion of deccan and was a prominent battle during his tenure as peshwa. Secondly add, Battle of Bhopal link also in the third para as it was one of the most important if not the most important battle in his miltiary career. Mohammad Umar Ali (talk) 16:49, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Not done cannot link as the first mention of Palkhed is much further down the page and already has a {{main}} hatnote. Same logic for Bhopal. If you want to include more text in the lead, please write your edit request as "add X" or "change X to Y". microbiologyMarcus (petri dish·growths) 19:17, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Reassessment edit

I think the article needs more citations as there are quite a few "citation needed" tags. Also, the prose style isn't the best but focusing on the citations would probably get the article to a B-class level. PrathuCoder (talk) 00:16, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
