Part 3: Adding Content
Link to Government of India: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_of_India

Strengths of the article: I felt that the article was mostly unbiased in its presentation about facts about the Indian government. Also, as I read through the comments made about the article, I saw a section that talked about bias in the reform and corruption section. It seems that this bias has been edited and corrected to provide a more neutral viewpoint, which is a strength of the article.

Weaknesses of the article: The article didn't expand very much on all the subtopics within the article. Furthermore, there are some statements which include numbers which are not cited.

Naming India Notes:

The names for India have a long and complex history Sanskrit word Sindhu meaning "the sea" and the Indus river Greeks and Romans started using the word India British maps favored using India

I added a new section named Naming becasue I looked through the Talk section of the article and saw that someone had made an old comment mentioning that there maybe should be a section about that. Then, to compare, I looked up the article about the United States government and saw that that article had a section about naming. Since it seemed to be a common theme for other pages about governments of countries I decided to add that section. I researched about the entomology of the names for India and took some short notes above so that I would avoid plagiarizing and would use my own words when I wrote the section.

Largest Democracy Notes:

1,267 million inhabitants and 834 million who can vote as of 2014

I added this line into the voting section because it is important to know that this is the largest democracy in the world, especially since this is relevant to voting.

Line added: "India is currently the largest democracy in the world, with around 834 million eligible voters, as of 2014." Link used:http://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/ATAG/2014/538956/EPRS_ATA%282014%29538956_REV1_EN.pdf
