I'll start review shortly! But before I start review–

Choose a review type
A. Quick review I'll assess the current version very quickly I'll mention all the things which need to be done and problems etc, and pass or fail the current version very quickly. After starting the review it'll take maximum 3–5 days. If nominators/editors think they can't participate in review for some reason, then this type of review is better.

B. Detailed – Conversation based review If nominator and editors can provide time (what I always prefer)– is conversation type review.

Please select any review type above and let me know. If I do not get any response in next 10 days, I'll start Review A. -- Tito Dutta  ✉  05:03, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Please do review type B. Also, it is ok to list problems as you find (the characteristic of type A!).--Dwaipayan (talk) 14:04, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Excellent! -- Tito Dutta  ✉  14:48, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Gandhi decided to stay alone in Calcutta – is it necessary to mention current name? Article has been linked and it actually redirects to "Kolkata", so, if someone wants to learn (s)he can easily check by visiting the page. -- Tito Dutta  ✉  11:09, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge.... – (I suggest to) add this line which actually mentions and clarifies "Tryst with Destiny" -- Tito Dutta   ✉  11:09, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

 * First response to the review commentary: All concerns addressed. Overlinking reduced for Congress and Gandhi (retained just once linking after the lead); "Kolkata" removed; security intensified all over but more so in some areas-- described in the text; "Tryst with destiny" quoted portion changed to the first paragraph of the actual speech; removed unnecessary see also; consistently used "Independence Day"; image location added; alt text done.

Section 02
It seems to be a scene of a film, don't you feel you should crop it and highlight the main portion only?

 * What do you mean by the "main portion"? Do you propose to delete the trees on the sides? I do not technically know how to do that.--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:16, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Curtain and text at the bottom of the photo! -- Tito Dutta  ✉  15:21, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Okk, got it. Do not know how to do that. Can you help? Or else, I can try to do that later.--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:36, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Definitely, I can help, if it is going to be an uncontroversial edit, since I have not followed the edits/discussions/consensus, when the image was added (if applicable). To explain more– I have created this. That's the thing I have been saying! -- Tito Dutta  ✉  16:06, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh yes, it is uncontroversial. And the cropped image looks good. IMO you can go ahead and place that in the article.--Dwaipayan (talk) 16:28, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * If possible, you make the change! An image replacement is not a minor edit (a reviewer may not be permitted), also I want to save my few edits for next few days (we have just started review). You can download the image from there and upload in Commons (don't upload on the existing file, upload separately) -- Tito Dutta  ✉  16:51, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. Replaced with cropped image.--Dwaipayan (talk) 22:36, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

You have two sections on history– 1) History 2) History of the Independence Day. If the second section is on history of Independence day then the first history on what? I think, it can create confusion! -- Tito Dutta  ✉  15:09, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Confusion on History
 * Importance: High
 * Ok, so the "History of Independence Day" is actually a history of celebration of the day from 1930 to 1947. so, there are at least two option. One is merging the paragraph to "Celebration" (it would constitute the first paragraph of "Celebration" section in that case). Another option may be to change the name of the "History" section to "background", to avoid semantic confusion. I think the first option is better and less cumbersome. What is your opinion?--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:16, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, good idea! -- Tito Dutta  ✉  15:21, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Done.--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:36, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Minor issue, Nehru (article) has been linked in two consecutive sentences in "Partition and independence" section! -- Tito Dutta  ✉  17:00, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Jawaharlal Nehru Overlink
 * Importance: Low
 * Decreased the overlinking of Nehru.--Dwaipayan (talk) 22:36, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

This is a suggestion. 15 August is also independence day of Republic of the Congo, Bahrain. I know it'll vary from person to person, but, if I have to write this article, I'll definitely add this information lead. Or it'll better, I think, if a section (at the end) is created like "Events on 15 August". There mention only few like Republic of the Congo, Bahrain's independence day and birthday of (Indians only) Sri Aurobindo, Raakhee Gulzar, Simple Kapadia (sister of Dimple Kapadia) and death of Amarsinh Chaudhary etc and then the main article 15 August. I feel this'll be awesome, but finally it is a suggestion! --<span style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#ED791A 0em 0em 0.8em,#F55220 -0.8em -0.8em 0.9em,#1D6B00 0.7em 0.7em 0.8em;"> Tito Dutta  ✉  18:01, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Events
 * Importance: Low
 * IMO, this will be a collection of trivia. Such collection of trivia is usually discouraged in article. The information, which is not directly related to the Independence of India, is anyway available in the article 15 August.--Dwaipayan (talk) 22:36, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I think it would be better if we mention the Congo & Bahrain case in this article too; that's informative. Others are just trivia.  AshLey  Msg 07:58, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Ya, I have checked there are lots of (Indian's birth/death days), so, we can not include all. But, those two independence days can be included somewhere in lead! (suggestion)--<span style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#ED791A 0em 0em 0.8em,#F55220 -0.8em -0.8em 0.9em,#1D6B00 0.7em 0.7em 0.8em;"> Tito Dutta  ✉  08:10, 25 July 2012 (UTC)!
 * Ok, but which section should this info be added to? Only lead is not an option; we have to incorporate this info in the body of the article, too. I do not see any connection between the topic of the article and those articles (Independence Days of Congo, Bahrain, and South Korea), so no idea where to incorporate this. One option could be in the "See also" section; but even then how do we rationalize the inclusion in the see also section? Do we say that "other countries with 15 August as Independence/Liberation Day"? Please suggest how do you want to incorporate this. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 13:23, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Would we get an exception to that WP:LEAD policy here :) ? Otherwise, it would be difficult to fix it.
 * Although no policy is an unavoidable rule, still we should try to stick to the established policies. I personally like such trivia (as a kid we used to get this particular question often in quiz, and the patent answer was South Korea!), but I see no way to accommodate that information within this article in a non-trivial way. Any ideas?--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:08, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The last sentence of the section celebrations is In some locations such as several cities in the United States, 15 August has received the nomenclature "India Day" among the diaspora as well as the local populace. What about including into it, without getting out of topic? V ani s che num<sup style="margin-left:-3.2ex">Talk 16:08, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Despite trying, I could not figure out a way to incorporate the other countries in a non-trivial way. So, I propose not to include this information for now. If someone comes up with a nice idea in future, of course that can be considered. However,for now let's close this thread, since it is a minor issue, and perhaps spending resource for this is not worth it. Moreover, the GA decision cannot end without ending all open threads. So, I request everyone involved to let go this idea for now, with the option to add this later in future in case a proper acceptable way emerges. Agree? Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 21:14, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree, unless we can find out a way quickly, we can close this discussion (since this a minor issue and not going to affect this GA review) and put in task list/discussion list for next days! --<span style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#ED791A 0em 0em 0.8em,#F55220 -0.8em -0.8em 0.9em,#1D6B00 0.7em 0.7em 0.8em;"> Tito Dutta  ✉  23:39, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Section 03 Lead
I am creating a separate section for Lead, since I have multiple points on this section:

and its birth as a sovereign nation – If you read Preamble_to_the_Constitution_of_India, India has been described as "Sovereign Socialist Secular Democratic Republic". So why you are mentioning only "Sovereign", I tried to see in the reference you have added. But there is no preview. So, can you please help me to understand by giving a short note on it?
 * First sentence:
 * Importance: Med
 * Sovereign is just used a as a word signifying its English meaning. It does not reflect anything from the constitution. Click the page number (147) in the citation, it would take you to the exact page. I did not add that reference, and am not sure whether it is needed at all.--Dwaipayan (talk) 17:43, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright! --<span style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#ED791A 0em 0em 0.8em,#F55220 -0.8em -0.8em 0.9em,#1D6B00 0.7em 0.7em 0.8em;"> Tito Dutta  ✉  18:22, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

''India achieved independence following a largely peaceful civil disobedience movement led by the Indian National Congress and other political parties.  – 1) Well, umm, I don't think all credit should be given to peaceful civil disobedience movement and Indian National Congress (of course, I agree their role was very significant in Indian freedom movement, still...) 2) other political parties''– this part is confusing, you are saying "peaceful civil disobedience movement"– can you mention two more political parties other than Indian National Congress (specially M.K.Gandhi's leadership) who helped India to achieve freedom by peaceful civil disobedience movements? For the second point I am tagging this issue as "highly important", I may change it later!
 * Second sentence
 * Importance: High
 * Now you are entering a part of the history which has been discussed time and again in many related articles. Of course INC was not the only agent of the independence movement, but in most global secondary and tertiary sources, Revolutionary movement for Indian independence has been given trivial coverage compared to the mainstream Congress and Muslim League etc. That is why INC is mentioned in the lead (now the lead has a link to Indian independence movement as well). In the first paragraph of History section (now expanded), wordings have been changed. I chose this wording as it is already tested and considered acceptable by the community (from India article).
 * I have removed "other political parties" from lead; added Muslim League in the first paragraph of history section.--Dwaipayan (talk) 17:43, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

the partition was stricken with violent communal riot. Communal riot after independence– has been mentioned twice in the article (lead section and history section)– both unsourced! --<span style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#ED791A 0em 0em 0.8em,#F55220 -0.8em -0.8em 0.9em,#1D6B00 0.7em 0.7em 0.8em;"> Tito Dutta  ✉  16:46, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

India celebrates Independence Day on 15 August to commemorate its independence from British rule and its birth as a sovereign nation on 15 August 1947. – Can you rewrite the sentence? Hints/Reason: you can change the starting from India celebrates Independence Day on 15 August to Independence Day in India is celebrated on 15 August every year... 2) Also, "India celebrates Independence Day on 15 August"– is not best way to write it, I think. It is not optional that they don't have an option to choose a day (I do not know any country who celebrate(s) independence day on any other day other than their real independence day). --<span style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#ED791A 0em 0em 0.8em,#F55220 -0.8em -0.8em 0.9em,#1D6B00 0.7em 0.7em 0.8em;"> Tito Dutta  ✉  20:41, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Here I am requesting to concentrate! For "national flag" "national holdiay" you are using "n", for national anthem you are using "N".

However, with this guideline present, we can easily incorporate appropriate images in the gallery section. Sorry for my folly. In case this point is raised in future FAC, we can direct the attention of reviewers to this guideline. Thanks Karthik.--Dwaipayan (talk) 13:23, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

I had to really think hard while writing this sentence. Not all these films have the first Independence Day or Partition has the main event; but those events play major role in their screenplay. May be toning down from major to significant will be more acceptable.

Hello all, seeing the assessment table i thought i should say that we should take our time with this article.This is a collaboration ,so more people would want to join in, and that too for August.So we should wait at least till 5-6, may be the article gets improved to the FA level by 15th.Of course, it is all based on the assumption that people working here were going too fast and if they weren't then no problem.Also, I would like to point that i had also commented in support of Independence Day here and there were more comments on both the nominations.Is it a procedure or something else to count the earliest votes only? --Ayanosh (talk) 07:54, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Also why is the preamble to the constitution in the see also section?Why not the constitution itself if you want something but even that i am not too sure about.--Ayanosh (talk) 08:13, 27 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Please cut paste this talk in GA review page or at least bottom of the talk page, but don't keep on the top of the GA review! --<span style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#ED791A 0em 0em 0.8em,#F55220 -0.8em -0.8em 0.9em,#1D6B00 0.7em 0.7em 0.8em;"> Tito Dutta  ✉  09:27, 27 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Let's not wait merely for more participation. This is GE review. Once that is done, more sustained collboration will continue for preparation of FA candidacy or during FA candidacy. Important is our goal. Our goal is to reach the best possible level on or before 15 August this year. If we wait for 5-6 days without any reason pertaining to the quality of teh article, we would lose valuable time. All reviews (GA, FA etc) take time.
 * So, the GA review will continue at its usual and currene pace, so that GA status is definitely achieved ASAP. And then we can start preparing for/ go for FA candidacy. All teh while, any edits/comments by any user will be extremely valuable. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 12:42, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with Dwaipayan completely. Yes, it is a collaboration. But we also have a goal in mind. If the article is good enough for GAN, no harm in nominating it. It'll be ok if we get this passed by 10th of August as well and then focus on FA. B Positive   (talk)   13:34, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * 10th August, well it is too demanding. I'll just request Titodutta to take his time as the article is still undergoing expansion every now and then. And yeah, let this review be fair enough and no longer be associated to the collaboration process to make it a bit neutral. Great work all :), way to go \m/ -- ♪Karthik♫ ♪Nadar♫ 14:55, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I meant that this must be the goal of the editors and not the reviewers. And yes, agree with you. Let this be a neutral one. Seeing the discussions so far and the work done on this page itself, it appears more than neutral to me. Cheers, B Positive   (talk)   16:00, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Stability
Just in case if anyone doubts the stability of the article, the article very much stable with no edit warring. It's just that editors are trying their level best to improve the quality of the article. -- ♪Karthik♫ ♪Nadar♫ 16:16, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
