Nominator(s): Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk), Strike Eagle (talk)

I am nominating this for featured list. The list portraying the information about the air squadrons of the Indian Navy was created back in 2014, and has been significantly improved in November 2016. The article is well referenced with suitable citations from valid sources, and the images are appropriately licensed. The comprehensively summarizes the 21 naval air squadrons along with the aircraft used. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 03:09, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Yashthepunisher
  • Link 'air squadrons' in the opening sentence.
  • Are short forms necessary in every instance?
Yes, they are. They are the part of the squadron names. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 04:23, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Are "SP's MAI" and "Brahmand" RS?
Yes, they are. SP's MAI is a fortnightly defence journal since 1964, and Brahmand is a defence magazine with a committed editorial board]. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 04:23, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 07:04, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
  • List is an orphan, that needs to be fixed.
  • Image captions which are fragments do not need full stops, e.g. "Mikoyan MiG-29K in flight over Indian islands".
  • No need to link common geographical terms like Britain.
  • "In 1961–1971" odd phrasing, maybe "Between" or "From ... to"?
  • Super Constellation is piped to a redirect, just pipe it directly.
    Others not fixed, e.g. Kiran MK 1, Sea King (in caption)... The Rambling Man (talk) 05:54, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Same applies to Sea Harrier and Islander. Check others.
  • "Anti-Submarine Warfare", "Electronic Warfare" etc, over-capitalised.
    Still not fixed. The Rambling Man (talk) 05:54, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I couldn't get you exactly, I have already de-capitalized, if you feel it was not resolved, please elaborate. --Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 16:36, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still seeing things like "Maritime Patrol" which should just be "Maritime patrol". The Rambling Man (talk) 05:46, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Krishna Chaitanya Velaga, Strike Eagle: comments have been outstanding here for more than two weeks. If I see no indication that either of you are willing to do anything about these comments, I'll close the nomination in the next 48 hours. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:24, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: I'm really sorry, I did not get the notification regarding these changes. Will address them soon. --Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 04:08, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Support: I was browsing this list this afternoon and happened to visit the Tupolev Tu-142, which the list says is used by INAS 312 from 1988 to present. Visiting both articles says that the aircraft was decommissioned in March 2017, which the list does not reflect as it seems not to have been updated since November 2016. Is it possible that other squadrons might have decommissioned their aircrafts since November 2016 as well? — Iunetalk 23:12, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Krishna Chaitanya Velaga: @Strike Eagle: Sorry to bother you, but I just wanted to make sure you had seen my comment. — Iunetalk 14:24, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Krishna Chaitanya Velaga: This nomination is getting a bit old without enough support- are you still working on this list? --PresN 16:59, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Iune: Sorry for the delay, updated the list. I've checked all others, they're up to date. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 02:46, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@PresN: Hi, I've addressed all the comments. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 02:46, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In that case, I support this nomination. — Iunetalk 19:33, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comments by PresN
  • Instead of "(purple) This along with the *, indicates a helicopter squadron.", it would be clearer if you added a "|text=*" field to the legend2 template and changed the text to "Indicates a helicopter squadron"
  • "The dates until when the aircraft were operated in unknown. But sources confirm that the aircraft were scrapped." -> The Fairey Firefly aircraft in use by INAS 550 were scrapped, though it is unknown when this occurred.
  • Using the "work" field of references is inappropriate for organizations that do not have a publisher, like the Indian Navy; that organization should instead be in the "publisher" field.
  • That's all I have; the lead is a bit of a slog to read, but you'd have to cut all the details out to fix it and then you wouldn't have anything. Source spotchecks revealed no problems. --PresN 21:30, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Krishna Chaitanya Velaga and Strike Eagle: are you two still working on this list? I think once my above points are addressed I can promote. --PresN 01:14, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@PresN: Hi, I actually somehow missed your last ping. Will work on these by the end of this week. --Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 15:03, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@PresN: Thanks for the review. Done. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 13:33, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Promoting. --PresN 14:10, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
