Moving comments from Talk:Aryabhata into this review page
For some reason, the reviewer's comments were placed on the article's talk page, rather than in this file where they belong. I'm adding them below, so they are included in the review's records. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:32, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

I will be having a go at this over the next few days. JJ Harrison (talk) 00:15, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

GA Review Comments
A first look through on my part shows that there is work to be done before a pass. There are some comments below. I'll have another look once those things have been sorted out. JJ Harrison (talk) 00:57, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Written Comments

 * I'd like to see more pictures. This might be easiest for some of the things in the "Mathematics" section. JJ Harrison (talk) 00:37, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Taregna should be wiki linked. JJ Harrison (talk) 00:37, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I think there should be a small introduction after the "Mathematics" heading. I think "Triangle Area" or similar might be better than "Trigonometry" under that. JJ Harrison (talk) 00:37, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * If it was known or part of the proof, then $$1^3 + 2^3 + \cdots + n^3 = (1 + 2 + \cdots + n)^2$$ should be expanded to $$1^3 + 2^3 + \cdots + n^3 = (1 + 2 + \cdots + n)^2 = \frac{n^2 (n+1)^2}{2}$$. JJ Harrison (talk) 00:37, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I've added a few templates where I think a citation would be good or similar. JJ Harrison (talk) 00:41, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * "may have come to the conclusion that $$\pi$$ is irrational" under Approximation of &pi; reads like original research. Please cite it or change it. JJ Harrison (talk) 00:42, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The first sentence in "Aryabhata's work was of great influence in the Indian astronomical tradition and influenced several neighbouring cultures through translations. The Arabic translation during the Islamic Golden Age (c. 820 CE), was particularly influenced." sounds a little POVey, and the second sentence needs rewording, and possibly information about what influence occurred in particular.

There's still many uncited statements in this article, so I'm failing the nomination. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 03:11, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
