Review commentary

 * Notified: all listed WikiProjects 

I was a bit surprised by Featured article review/Indian Standard Time/archive1 that there were complaints of so many references that didn't match the content, which turned out to be true. This article, also by is the same; I have removed 6 footnotes that have nothing to do with the content that precedes it, and there is also a problem with "Hamfest souvenir" being used 6 times (not RS) and six dead refs (not-RS websites). Another problem is that a report published in 1979 is used to source statements on the current situation. Status data from 1979 cannot be assumed to be true for 2010. This affects about 6-7 cites. Per the FAC statement and Wikipedia_talk:Noticeboard_for_India-related_topics/Archive_37 and Wikipedia_talk:Noticeboard_for_India-related_topics/Archive_39 the author quite often liked to tell people how fast he can write FAs, well, the sources in these ones don't check out  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  04:34, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
