Talk:Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering/GA1

GA Review
I can see that a lot of work has been put into this article, but I'm afraid that I'm not going to be able to list it as a GA.

Good Article Criteria

(1). It is well written

1(a) the prose is clear and the spelling and grammar are correct Well, I checked the Article and I could not find spelling mistakes very easily. So the article satisfies condition 1(a).

1(b) it complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, jargon, words to avoid, fiction, and list incorporation. There are a few errors here.
 * The grihapravesam function of the new Campus was performed on July 25,1991 in the presence of Sri Jayendra Saraswathi Swamigal,and was inaugurated by Shri R.Venketaraman(Former President of India) on January 5,1992,and received approval from the All India Council for Technical Education the same year. - No space between July 25 and 1991. No space between R.Venketaraman and (Former President of India)


 * SVCE went under the government scanner with the Directorate of Technical Education(DOTE) intensifying its drive against the collection of capitation fee and tuition fee in excess of that prescribed.


 * SVCE has a 1,338-square-metre (14,400 sq ft) well established, fully computerized library spanning three floors with over 21,000 titles covering major fields of Science and Engineering, a conference room, an ample study space and a seating capacity of over 200.The ground floor is Air-conditioned,with conferencing, multimedia, internet, reprography facilities, a CD-ROM collection and a book bank for deserving students.

and many many more..........

If you check the article, almost in each and every sentence, there is no space after commas.


 *  comment: Spaces between commas have been added. - Amog  | Talk •  contribs 10:32, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

And a problem in the Lead-SVCE's founding objective was to plan and implement a programme of education in Engineering and Allied Sciences, to promote research, disseminate knowledge and to foster the cooperation and exchange of ideas between the academic community and industrial organizations and to develop entrepreneurship skills among students. What's so special about the objective of the college. All colleges have nearly the same objectives. These things don't deserve the Lead.

So the article doesn't satisfy condition 1(b).

(2). It is factually accurate and verifiable

'''2(a). it provides references to all sources of information, and at minimum contains a section dedicated to the attribution of those sources in accordance with the guide to layout,'''

'''Please fix weblink http://www.india-inc.in.+retrieved/ in citation 1. I couldn't open it.'''


 *  comment: Link fixed. Small cut and paste issue. - Amog  | Talk •  contribs 10:32, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

'''2(b). at minimum, it provides in-line citations from reliable sources for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons.'''

'''2(c). it contains no original research.'''

(3). It is broad in its coverage

It may be broad in its coverage in terms of sections like Sports, Facilities, Transport, Medical facilities, Placements, etc... But Initial Years in History section is too. short. Please rationalize it or expand it a bit. It just consists of 2 sentences. You have to put in more data. Most of the contents in the article are just lists. Even the Research sub-section. There is no mention of what the college has achieved. Awards anything etc...Same for Societies & Extra Curricular Activities..Hardly any data..

'''3(a). it addresses the main aspects of the topic'''

'''3(b). it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail'''

Unnecessary details are the lists. Too many lists. Article thus goes into unnecessary details. Too. many and overflow of Images. You don't have to put so many images here. Images such as Swimming Pool and Building inside the college are not at all required. More than an article, this looks like a college brochure or something.
 *  comment: Removed swimming pool and medical center pictures.Please let the building picture stay. - Amog  | Talk •  contribs 10:32, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

(4). It is neutral, it represents viewpoints fairly and without bias.

(5). It is stable, it does not change significantly from day-to-day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.

6. It is illustrated, if possible, by images

'''6(a). Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content.'''

'''6(b). Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.'''

OVERALL ---

'''This article thus requires a thorough copyedit, more data, and corrections which may take more than a week. So This article cannot be called a Good Article. But this article is very near meeting the GA criteria. If you disagree with my decision not to list this article, then please feel free to request further opinions at WP:GAR. Good luck, and I hope to see this article back at GAN very soon.--->>>>>> Kensplanet Talk  E-mail  Contributions'''
