Talk:Mahitha Mohan

Guild of Copy Editors cleanup

Infobox

According to quick Internet research, she won a gold medal at National Championship in 2013, so I'll assume she's still active. Infobox, therefore, has parameters recommended for "active riders". See Template:Infobox cyclist#Usage.

Documentation for {{Infobox cyclist}} states that "birth_date" parameter is mandatory; thus, I have specified only approximate information. The correct information should be provided as soon as possible in the Infobox and in the Metadata.

Biography

"more than 5-hour drive"

Begs two questions:

• "more than 5-hour drive" by what? Car? Bike?
• Regardless of the transportation mode, how could she possibly train with a 10-hour round-trip commute?

Palmarès

All information in this section should be verified and supported by citations from reliable sources.

Possible problems:

• Two National Track Cycling Championships in 2006? Although they occurred in different locations and in different months, coincidentally they both occurred on the same range of dates (16–21)

• "Kriterium (Women)" is only specified once in her results, and I can't find it anywhere else on the Internet

• Many "Mass Start" events. I couldn't find a Wiki article specifically related to cycling to use as a link for "Mass Start". Rather, "Mass start" seems to be a characteristic of various events in many different sports, not an event in itself.

• Sometimes the event is referred to as "Olympic Sprint", sometimes as "Olympic Team Sprint". Are they different? If no, should the names be made consistent? I have linked both names to the same "Team sprint" Wiki article.

• For National Mountain Bike Cycling Championship, Time Trial, I found the Wiki article "Mountain bike trials", but it is not timed.

Is the "Palmarès" list too long? I think "Yes". What should be cut?

Possibilities for deletion:

• Years 2002-2005 (because all medals were won in "Girls" categories)
• All medals won in "Girls" categories regardless of year

[Important note: Anything deleted could be converted to text for the "Biography" section]

General comments

Needless to say, this article lacks lots of content. Although the "Palmarès" section only covers through 2009, here's more information that I encountered while copy editing that could be included in the article:

• the Wiki article "Kerala at the 2011 National Games of India" mentions Mahitha Mohan several times (4 gold medals and 4 silver medals);
• the website Cycling Archives states that she won a gold medal in 2013 National Championship
