Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Lede

• It was inaugurated in May 1911 by the Lieutenant Governor of Bengal after two years of construction. - weird wording. Probably best to start with when the project was started first. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:25, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

General

• Pumped water supply in the city dated back to 1820. - you need to define things in the body even if you say them in the lede - so cover where you are talking about. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:50, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

  • During the British era, it was Calcutta Corporation. Then it became Calcutta Municipal Corporation. And after the name was changed, it became Kolkata Municipal Corporation. Also, today is popularly known as KMC only.  Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe  07:07, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
