The Great Indian Novel[edit]

This is an important novel in historical, satirical, literary, and political terms. The article lay dormant for a long time and I've tried to give it some meat. However, it is a very complex and at times subtle satire. Editors should in particular pay attention to allusions and connections that have been missed. The tables of character, place, event connections should also be worked on. Acsenray (talk) 19:43, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nice start however I would immediately identify a few things to change.
  • The "Plot summary" should be much shorter it is too long for the size of the article.
  • It should not have the sub-headings which break up the prose unduly.
  • The character section although "clearly" in a table should at most be a "bulleted list" - but certainly with "far" more emphasis on the prose description of the characters.
  • Also there are virtually no means of verifying the information in the article. So to this end you should add proper referencing, particularly adding a Footnotes section with proper in-line citations to each major statement element of the article.
Trust that gives you some ideas. Keep at it. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 10:19, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
