Ssriram mt, I will begin this review in the next few days. Upon my initial review, this article looks like it meets much of the criteria for Good Article status. -- Caponer (talk) 13:00, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot.Ssriram mt (talk) 14:59, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ssriram mt, I have concluded my review of this article, and I find that meets most of the criteria for passage to Good Article status. Before we complete this process, I've listed a few comments and suggestions that need to be addressed. I thank you sincerely for taking the time to illustrate this fascinating Indian village. -- Caponer (talk) 03:14, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

  • In the second sentence of the first paragraph, "taluk" should be lower case, which would be consistent with "district" and "state" in the first sentence.
  • It may be important to mention in the first paragraph that the temple is prominent "Vaishnavite shrine" rather than merely a "Hindu temple."
  • In the second paragraph, would it be correct to instead write "After the fall of the Cholas"? Rather than use the word "like" when listing the dynasties, perhaps say "including" instead.
  • Use "until" instead of "till."
  • Consider rewording the final sentence of the lead in a fashion such as this: "The nearest seaport, Nagapattinam Port, is located 52 km (32 mi) from Mannargudi, while the nearest airport, Tiruchirappalli International Airport, is located 97 km (60 mi) from the town."
 Done

History

  • Rajathirajeswara temple vs. Rajagopalaswami Temple -- make sure to use consistency throughout the article regarding the capitalization of "temple."
  • The last sentence of the first paragraph interrupts the historical/chronological narrative by talking about present-day remains. Would it flow better to reword the sentence like so: "A fort was constructed under the rule of the Hoysala kings, and Hindu temples were built under the leadership of both Hoysala and Pandya rulers."
  • The second paragraph has the British East India Company controlling the town in 1799 and then the temple being built by the king Vijayaraghava Nayak (1532–1575 CE). Please strongly consider rewording this paragraph so that the history remains in chronological order.
  • Are there no developments during British rule from 1799 until 1947, besides Mannargudi being a part of the erstwhile Tanjore district?
  • The sentence "It is believed that he erected the big tower in the front of temple so that he can view the Srirangam Ranganathaswamy temple located in Srirangam, from the top of tower." needs rephrasing. Perhaps: "It is believed Vijayaraghava Nayak erected the large tower in front of the temple so that he could view the Srirangam Ranganathaswamy temple."
  • Vijayaraghava Nayak redirects to Vijaya Raghava Nayak. Can this be fixed? Is this correct?
  • Is there any available information regarding the Etymology of Mannargudi? I noticed this is a section commonly included in other Good Articles for places in India.
 Done
So, the name of the town means "place of Vishnu?" If so, this should be stated explicitly. All the alternate names for the town listed in the paragraph should be formatted consistently, so each should probably be written in quotation marks. -- Caponer (talk) 03:00, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Done

Geography

  • Rename this section "Geography and climate"
  • Are there additional internal citations/sources for the information in the first paragraph?
  • In the second paragraph, "pleasant" is not a meteorological term. I strongly suggest finding and incorporating more content from other reputable sources for the climate information.
  • Till should be changed to "until" in every instance unless it is part of a quote.
  • Wiki-link jack fruit, coconut, tamarind and palmirah.
  • The sentence about the above trees and plants seems disconnected from the geography section. Is there any available information on other plants and wildlife in the region around the city? If so, this information should be placed in a third paragraph in this section.
 DoneThere is not much reference for wildlife and hence had to force the trees into the same para.

Economy

  • This section reads fine for now, will re-review once everything has been addressed.
 Done

Demographics

  • Is there any data on languages/dialects spoken, ethnic groups, religions?
Religious data census in 2011 is not published. The 2001 census had only at state level.
Alright then! I just wanted to make sure!
 Done

Culture

  • "The town was under the rule of Chola kings" can be removed from the first sentence.
  • The third paragraph seems a bit disjointed fusing information about a Vaduvoor Bird Sanctuary and instruments used for temple services. If there are other visitor attractions, they could be discussed in a separate paragraph under this section. Make another paragraph for music and religious customs.
 Done

Administration and politics

  • In the first sentence, what body are the twelve members a part of?
  • In the third paragraph, it is not necessary to list all the meetings of the Lok Sabha.
Meetings - do you mean the elections over the years?
All the dates listed regarding the elections over the years are unnecessary for this article, unless they pertain to specific elections where local townspeople were elected to represent the region in the Lok Sabha. Otherwise, the listing of the election dates seems superfluous for this article about a town. Other than that, everything else in this section is fine as is. -- Caponer (talk) 03:06, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Done

Education and utility services

  • Why are education and utilities lumped together? If they are all services provided by the town, then this section should be renamed "Town services." It doesn't seems as if they are, so this section should probably be divided into "Education" and "Utility services" sections.
  • Use the present name "Findlay Higher Secondary School" first with the former name in parentheses.
 Done

Transport

  • No issues found at this time. I'll re-review this section after all items have been addressed elsewhere.
 Done
Thanks a lot again. I have addressed major comments - will effect left over ones in a day or two.Ssriram mt (talk) 05:08, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ssriram mt, it was my absolute pleasure reviewing this article! Please keep me posted on when you're ready for me to re-review. I'll refrain from placing this GAR on hold. Thanks again! -- Caponer (talk) 00:23, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ssriram mt, I have two remaining issues that need to be addressed in the Etymology and Politics sections. Also, you may want to consider renaming the Transport section to Transportation so that it is consistent with other geography articles. Other than these minor issues, everything else looks good to go! I really appreciate all your hard work on this article, and for bearing with me during this review process! -- Caponer (talk) 03:06, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Caponer - Thanks a lot again. I have corrected the portions indicated. Please have a look at your convenience.Ssriram mt (talk) 00:29, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ssriram mt, the changes you've made look fantastic! Thank you for your patience and for addressing each of the above comments. This article now meets all the criteria for Good Article status, and I hereby pass it! Congratulations on a job well done! -- Caponer (talk) 03:07, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
