  • . The GA article is well written and posted within the stipulated time. Both the original and concise ALT1 hook are interesting, cited and verified/ No copy vio noted. Text is neutral. Image is freely licensed. QPQ is awaited to give green tick.Nvvchar. 12:25, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

  • Hi, I came by to promote this, and as I read it, did a light copyedit. The material is very good, but I didn't understand why the detailed information under Regulations was repeated in the lead, so I deleted it from the lead. I also added a clarification tag to a sentence that uses the word "embossed" twice. Personally, I think the hook could be a lot jazzier, like:
  • ALT2: ... that some recipients of the Padma Vibhushan (medal pictured), India's second highest civilian award, have refused or even returned their medals? Yoninah (talk) 14:25, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah: Per WP:CITELEAD, the lead is always bound to repeat the information mentioned in the article which we may not have to cite with the sources. However, I dont think it would be fair to delete the complete chunk just to avoid repeat and let the user read it only through body. I am okay with any of the ALTs but not with the lead deletion. - Vivvt (Talk) 14:47, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
No problem. Please SUMMARIZE the material, not repeat it verbatim, in the lead. Yoninah (talk) 14:49, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
Thanks, the lead looks much better. I removed cites that were uncontroversial and that were cited in the main text. Reviewer needed for ALT2. Yoninah (talk) 15:13, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
  • @Vivvt: please also take care of the clarification needed tag in the second paragraph under Specifications. "Embossed" is said too many times in that sentence. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 15:15, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
  • It looks great, thanks. Yoninah (talk) 12:52, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
