Hi - I'm going to be reviewing this article. Looks like an interesting topic – I'll get into a deep dive now. Thanks. SerAntoniDeMiloni (talk) 15:25, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Vanamonde. My approach to reviewing this article will be to run through it step-by-step, making small edits if I see any that are needed, and then assessing the article against GA criteria. SerAntoniDeMiloni (talk) 16:07, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Introduction

 * The introduction looks good.

Riots

 * Looks good. Do you have any references for the foundation of the All-Gujarat Educational Reform Action Committee
 * This is supported by the next citation, Shani p. 80.
 * Just curious. Do you know the name of the commission that regarded the 16 and 23 April as the "darkest period"? It may be beneficial in terms of detail. Was it part of the judicial commission spoken about in the next section?
 * It's sometimes referred to as the Dave commission, which is a detail I've now added. I don't want to add it at that point in the text, because I think it would be distracting; the text is discussing something else at that point.

Aftermath

 * No problems here.

Images

 * Would you be able to find any freely available images/assets? This would satisfy 6a and b of the GA criteria.
 * I've added one more image, of the old city of Ahmedabad; images are generally very difficult, though, because a) most images from this period haven't been digitized, b) those that have been (in newspaper archives, for instance) are copyright and/or lacking in documentation, and making an argument to use a copyrighted image is always tricky.

 * Agreed. The image there should be fine.
