Talk:Ration card (India)

Merge proposal[edit]

Since the content and title is distinct for Indian ration card, hence the banner for merger with Ration stamp (of many countries) does not hold good. Any other opinion?

I took care of this as I said I would at the formal discussion location at Talk:Ration stamp. —Largo Plazo (talk) 17:01, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Presently, people are not able to come to this article who look for Ration card or Ration card (India), hence its view stat is in single digit. Once a person goes to Ration stamp, forgets to explore further. Therefore modification in liking is needed.

Linking of this article with Ration stamp should be there, however, in modified way.

Any other thought?

Your premise seems to be that a large number of people are looking for information on Indian ration cards and then, nearly all of them, forgetting that that's what they're looking for when they get to the general article on the topic of ration cards/ration stamps. That seems unlikely, especially since that page has a section on India and does link to the India article.

Consider this: A user of this worldwide Wikipedia who types "automobile industry" certainly isn't expecting to go straight to a page about the automobile industry in India. Even if that's what they're looking for, they'd assume the article is generic, and would hope that maybe it would have information specific to India, or a link to a separate article that focuses on India. So Automobile industry is a general article, and it happens that it does contains a link to Automobile industry in India.

As for people who look for Ration card (India) directly, contrary to your claim, they are taken to that article. —Largo Plazo (talk) 10:41, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Apology. Last week I had tried going to Ration card (India) directly.

March 2017 copy editors guild backlog cleanup drive[edit]

Hi there! This article was flagged for copy edit in June 2016. I've been cleaning it up and removed some unsourced statements which were phrased very awkwardly and were confusing. Since there was either no source or a source which didn't support the statement, I removed some of that content. However, there is additional content in this article which could use more in-depth fact checking & verification. Some of the sources could probably be improved. As for copy editing, I think our goal is to ensure the article flows well, makes sense and uses appropriate grammar & punctuation. Curdigirl (talk) 17:56, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
