Talk:Rajani Pandit

Good article submission
I'd like to bring this up to good article standard as part of the WikiProject Women in Green/Meetup/3 in October. Happy to collaborate if anyone else is interested! perhaps? Mujinga (talk) 21:06, 25 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi @Mujinga! I'm glad you picked this article -- I think Rajani Pandit sounds really neat. Sure, I'm willing to collaborate. Is there a particular aspect or section of the article you'd like me to work on? I know there's a ton of online material about Pandit; part of the work may simply involve sifting through information to try to figure out what's reliable and what's not.

 * Cool. Yeah I agree her life seems interesting! Yesterday I went through the article to copyedit and check it fitted to the sources and purged a couple. I was unsure about the reliability of TRT World but Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources says "Consensus exists that TRT World is reliable for statements regarding the official views of the Turkish government but not reliable for subjects with which the Turkish government could be construed to have a conflict of interest. For other miscellaneous cases, it shall be assumed to be reliable enough" so that's alright. Now I suppose the next step is to beef it up a bit with more info. I think more could be said on her famous cases since they are what she is best known for; also possibly about the forthcoming film, although it seems to be scheduled for a 2023 release so we wouldn't want to get too far into crystal ball territory. In any case, there might be some holes to fill once we do a deeper dive. Agreed on the variability of sources. Looking forward to working on this with you :) Mujinga (talk) 11:07, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Alrighty -- I'll plan to set aside some time this weekend and see if I can start adding content to the article. :-) Alanna the Brave (talk) 18:08, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm going to expand on that case where Pandit pretended to be a maid for six months -- it looks like that was an early "breakthrough" case for her, and there are some interesting details involved. Alanna the Brave (talk) 00:33, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah I agree we can say more about that and then the article will be more fleshed out. I'll also have a look but might be busy the next few days Mujinga (talk) 11:11, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't have much to add after your edits, shall we submit? Mujinga (talk) 12:29, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * How about we submit end-of-day Friday? I agree it's looking pretty well complete, but I'd like to do one more scan of the sources, just to see if there are any last additions or copy edits we could make. Alanna the Brave (talk) 13:34, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll do the same! Mujinga (talk) 15:11, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I gave it another read, it feels a bit thin but I think the sources are limited and we have pruned out the guff. It's above 3,700 characters so it's big enough to be a GA in my opinion Mujinga (talk) 16:57, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I think you're right -- let's submit! It's looking much better than when we started. I do wish there was a good photo to include, but I haven't been able to find any in the public domain. Alanna the Brave (talk) 00:27, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I had a look around but don't see a way to make a co-nomination ... I think you should nominate it since you have put more work in over a longer period of time. Good luck with it! Mujinga (talk) 18:56, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I can take the lead on nominating Pandit, but you're welcome to jump in too and respond to items once the review has started (you've put in lots of good work). Thank you for the collaboration on this article -- I've enjoyed it! Alanna the Brave (talk) 19:35, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Sure I'll def help out if I can :) Mujinga (talk) 11:40, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
