Deepak Dhar

 * ... that Deepak Dhar, along with Ramakrishna Ramaswamy, developed a new model based on Abelian sandpile model which came to be known as Dhar-Ramaswamy model? Source: Dhar's most significant contribution has been his studies of the abelian sand-pile model of self-organized criticality. With Ramaswamy, he obtained the exact exponents of the directed version of this model in all dimensions (Indian National Science Academy profile) A dynamical programming approach for controlling the directed abelian Dhar-Ramaswamy model Self-Organised Criticality: Theory, Models and Characterisation (page 479)

 * Comment-This is my first reveiw please bear with me .If needed we can take a second opinion:-
 * Symbol question.svg
 * ✅Reasonably referenced,has amply more than 1500 characters No time lag in submission.
 * ❌ Some small areas need to be cleaned up:-
 * Bibliography portion should be merged with see also.(Most articles do so)
 * Who is Manju? Please use full name
 * What is TIFR? Please expand

 * Welcome to DYK reviewing. Please allow to note down a few points here.

Thanks. jojo@nthony (talk) 07:33, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The reviewer normally starts writing by replacing the comment, "REPLACE THIS LINE TO WRITE FIRST COMMENT, KEEPING  :*" you have started your comments at a place reserved for the nominator. But please don't let this dissuade you in anyway.
 * "Bibliography" is distinct from "See Also" and should not be merged as per Manual of Style.
 * Manju is Deepak Dhar's wife. Full name is Manju Dhar but I do not think it is advisable to mention the full name as the omitted part is the surname she received from her husband.
 * TIFR is Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. I have added the acronym at the first mention of the institute in the article.

 * Symbol possible vote.svg Returning from prep per discussion at WT:DYK. The article needs to be adjusted if ALT2 is to be promoted:


 * ... that Deepak Dhar, along with Ramakrishna Ramaswamy, developed a new model based on the Abelian sandpile model which came to be known as the Dhar-Ramaswamy model?
 * Personally, I find this hard to call "hooky". It uses the word "model" 3 times, and the most interesting/unusual thing is the mention of the Abelian sandpile model, which will probably siphon off all the clicks. Yoninah (talk) 14:27, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

--jojo@nthony (talk) 15:10, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I would suggest the below tweak:
 * ALT1: ... that Deepak Dhar, along with Ramakrishna Ramaswamy, developed Dhar-Ramaswamy model, based on the Abelian sandpile model?
 * I'm not too sure that the article would siphon off all the clicks. I mean, we could always assume, but no one actually knows until it reaches the main page. SL93 (talk) 15:22, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Reading the sources, they seem to be talking about Dhar solving the Abelian sandpile model. If you fix this in the article, you could write:
 * ALT2: ... that theoretical physicist Deepak Dhar and Ramakrishna Ramaswamy solved the Abelian sandpile model of self-organized criticality with their "Dhar-Ramaswamy model"? Yoninah (talk) 16:14, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
 * ALT 2 seems okay.FORCE RADICAL (talk) 05:51, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Note: since ALT2 is the hook under consideration, it needs to be visible outside the hatted discussion. (I have also struck the original hook due to issues raised in that discussion.) BlueMoonset (talk) 21:54, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
 * ALT2: ... that theoretical physicist Deepak Dhar and Ramakrishna Ramaswamy solved the Abelian sandpile model of self-organized criticality with their "Dhar-Ramaswamy model"?
 * I did not quite get what you meant but have now rephrased the sentence. Trust this resolves the issue. jojo@nthony (talk) 06:57, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Thank you, it does. Since I had a hand in the ALT2 hook, new reviewer needed to sign off on this. Yoninah (talk) 09:47, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT2 is satisfactory. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:31, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
