GAR[edit]

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

This was one of five Indian Forts submitted for WP:GAR on the same day.

Is it reasonably well written?
A. Prose quality:

B. MoS compliance:
Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
A. References to sources:
Almost the whole of the article is based on a single newspaper article, whose web link is broken.

B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
A newspaper article does not provide verification of India's history.

C. No original research:
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. Major aspects:
This is a building, an archaeological site and a military structure. Information would be expected on the architecture/style of building, its defences, a floor plan / archaeological plans, etc. They are entirely absent.

B. Focused:
Is it neutral?
Fair representation without bias:
Is it stable?
No edit wars, etc:
Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
Overall:
Pass or Fail:
This article was submitted simultaneously with a number of other articles, in WP:good faith, for GAR. This article, and apparently others submitted at the same time, suffer from lack of WP:Verify and breath of scope. They can be fixed given time: there are numerous books on this subject, see [1]. However, in view of the number of articles involved, I don't think that this will be achieved in one week. The article can be resubmitted for GAR once these issues have been addressed; and I'm willing to review it, if required, prior to submission to GAR.Pyrotec (talk) 10:26, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
