Undue emphasis on "speed to 1000 episodes" - NPOV issue

Of all the things to say about Indian soap operas (even based solely on what is in the article now not including all the stuff that is missing) placing a whole section on "speed to 1000 episodes" is an WP:UNDUE focus on a really really really trivial aspect. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 20:14, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Indian soap opera. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/20121112045945/http://www.irastimes.org:80/Experiences_of_Lahore_and_Pakistan_Railway.htm to http://www.irastimes.org/Experiences_of_Lahore_and_Pakistan_Railway.htm

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Changes as of 17 July 2017 – oh dear!

I have made an attempt to improve this article. It was written very poorly. A summary of my changes, and some advice, is below;

• You are not writing for your friends: proper nouns take caps.
• Do not use symbols such as '+' and '&'.
• Do not use ordinals for dates.
• 'About' is not appropriate language - choose 'approximately' or 'around'.
• Place punctuation outside quotes, as per MOS:QUOTE.
• 'K.D Pathak' should read (according to MOS:INITIALS) 'K. D. Pathak'.
• The programme is called 'CID' – do not change it to 'C.I.D.' for no reason, especially in the link to the WP article. This could lead to a dead end.
• Do not present opinion as fact: 'may people have bought these to watch the programmes'. No. You can say that many people have bought them, some of which the reason has been to watch the programmes, but you must not just assert that they have bought them to watch the programmes. There I no evidence behind this. Cite as many sources as you like, this can never be proven.
• Try to ensure that all details included are strictly relevant to this article – 'Certain Indian tourists to Pakistan have said that people are particularly friendly is one is from India' is A/ not a particularly coherent sentence and B/ not something to say in an article about Indian soap operas.
