Tourism in Puducherry edit

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because… this page, Tourism in Puducherry list most of the tourist destinatins in puducherry.These destinatins are not like normal tourist spots but includes heritage buildings, museums which are hundreds of years old and part of the history of french colonies in India. it also includes gardens and majour places of worship in puducherry. I have done extensive study of these topics before starting the page. A review will be highly appriciated.

Thanks, Varun_swm

Brianboulton comments: You obviously have a great commitment to this topic and have put a lot of work into the article. However, it has not yet developed into a form where a peer review would be appropriate. Please note that the peer review process is intended for "high quality articles that have already undergone extensive work", and are free of major cleanup banners. This article has a banner relating to its non-encyclopedic style. It is also woefully short of citations, most of its sections being completely uncited, and the overall standard of prose is poor.

The way forward, I think, is for you to study some of the Wikipedia style guidelines, and learn what is involved in creating a quality article. On the WP:Peer review page, near the top, you will see some links relating to general editing advice ("How to write a great article" etc.) I suggest you study these. You might also consider whether a better format would be to present your article as a list.

I see that you self-awarded the article a C-class, and then upgraded it to a B! This is not acceptable. I have reclassified it as Start-class. Brianboulton (talk) 09:55, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redtigerxyz's comments as part of WP India assessment
  • File:The official logo of Pondicherry Tourism .jpg needs fair use rationale. see WP:FAIRUSE
  • Huge problem of WP:PEACOCK terms: "captivating", "It is a blend of spiritual aura, French colonial heritage, Tamil culture,Beautiful beaches and the cosmopolitan flair of many nationalities in a small but varied town"
  • Sources like "Asiarooms.com", indiaparenting.com, Pondyonline.com etc. are not reliable. Lot of work needed in terms of references --Redtigerxyz Talk 15:36, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
