Anuradhapura Kingdom[edit]
This peer review discussion has been closed.
This article recently passed GAN, and I'm hoping to take it to FAC. While it qualifies GA requirements, I think there may be problems that need to be addressed before I try that. Advice and assistance regarding the images would be especially appreciated, since that is not an area I'm familiar with. Thanks in advance. ≈ Chamal talk ¤ 04:41, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
- Arrange References in alphabetical order, to ease search. There are 2 Sinhala books in References, add their title's English spelling
- "In 543 BC, prince Vijaya arrived in Sri Lanka, having been banished from his country". Which country?
- Links: I observed 2 links Vijaya and asterism in the first section itself, which led to disambiguations. Link to the relevant articles. Please check all other links. Also Elara in section 2
- See WP:OVERLINK: Link only most relevant articles and only once. Most people know what cemeteries, hermitages or irrigation tanks are. bhikkhuni was linked twice in "Arrival of Buddhism"
- "Another notable king of the Anuradhapura Kingdom is Valagamba" Link him to proper article. Give date of kings in brackets. Maybe a template of kings like the one in FA Chola Dynasty can be created
- "She brought along with her a sapling from the Sri Maha Bodhi" What is the importance of Sri Maha Bodhi? "She brought along with her a sapling from the Sri Maha Bodhi, the tree under which the Buddha is believed to have attained enlightenment" explains why. Try to explain jargon as much as possible. Sanghamitta - the daughter of Ashoka - her importance.
- The coverage of topics is good, but images are needed. I adding images, if you do not like any. Please remove them. --Redtigerxyz Talk 12:32, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

- Pretty much done, except for the dates of the kings. Since there were quite a number of rulers during this period, a template like {{Chola history}} would take up a lot of space and therefore, would be inappropriate. I was thinking of creating a table of all the monarchs within the article. What do you think? ≈ Chamal talk ¤ 06:16, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
- You can also include dates in the text. Are all kings already mentioned in the text? The work of all kings should be touched in the text. The History may be expanded to meet this requirement. A table of monarchs can also work, but I would prefer text. --Redtigerxyz Talk 11:18, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

- Reorganize History according to chronology of kings.
- Write about religion about "Arrival of Buddhism". --Redtigerxyz Talk 11:23, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
