Hi! Will review this. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 15:04, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Update: A bit busy now, I think I will be able to get to this only by the end of this week. Cheers! Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 18:44, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@AKS.9955: You appear to be inactive since January 2016. I will seek help at WP:WikiProject India. If there is no response within a week from now, I would be forced to fail this nomination. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 11:12, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lead[edit]

Citations are typically excluded from the lead unless controversial statements are involved
Ensure that all facts in the lead are also mentioned in the main text
400 meters South-West Convert template needed twice in this line. Say "southwest"
village Khairpur No italics needed

History[edit]

constructed in 1490 Say AD/BC
It's construction It's means "it is". Write "Its"
Add a word on who Sikandar Lodi was
tells the date "gives" is better than "tells"
During the rule of Sikander Lodhi Why link him again? Also, you are referring to him differently now.
Say Lodi or Lodhi
inaugurated by Lady Willingdon Who was she?

Construction and architecture[edit]

The platform measures 30 metres (98 ft) (East-West) and 25 metres (82 ft) (North-South) No caps needed for the directions.
Duplicate link: Shisha Gumbad
A string of citations is not needed unless the claims are very strong (WP:OVERCITE). I would recommend using at most three in each case.

Location[edit]

No italics for Khairpur.

These done, I would be happy to promote this. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 11:12, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Sainsf: I've addressed these issues. utcursch | talk 20:09, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for resolving the issues. I believe the article can be promoted now. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 08:18, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Differences[edit]

What are the visual differences between the Shisha Gumbad and the Bara Gumbad? Am I right in saying the Shisha has a flat top and the dome is more round less steep, and shallower (more hemispherical) than the Bara. The sides of the Bara's dome are steeper (more oval) and the very top is not flat but has a broken stub rising out of it? The Shisha stands alone and the Bara has adjoining buildings. The Shisha still has some tiles on it, and the Bara does not. What differences inside? BeckenhamBear (talk) 22:00, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
