Chaubisi Rajya

 * Nominator(s):  CAPTAIN MEDUSA   talk  13:16, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Chaubisi Rajya were sovereign and intermittently allied petty kingdoms on the Indian subcontinent, ruled by Khas from medieval India  CAPTAIN MEDUSA   talk  13:16, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Drive-by comment - what does the number column mean/signify? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:42, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Nothing really except for counting the 24 principalities.  CAPTAIN MEDUSA   talk  10:36, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I would remove it. It makes it look like they were officially numbered in some way -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:40, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Removed.  CAPTAIN MEDUSA   talk  10:54, 6 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Further comments
 * Why is the article title in italics?
 * "that Khas people ruled" => "that the Khas people ruled"
 * "then he proceeded to the unification process of present day country of Nepal" => "he subsequently began the unification process of the present day country of Nepal"
 * "Palpa was one of the biggest kingdoms and powerful" => "Palpa was one of the biggest and most powerful kingdoms"
 * "they were able to create independent kingdoms" - who's "they"?
 * "then he went to win a battle against Belkot" => "then went on to win a battle against Belkot"
 * "these kingdoms played a pivotal role" - in what?
 * "The unified Kingdom of Nepal continued to be ruled by Shah dynasty; with Rana dynasty de facto ruling the country" => "The unified Kingdom of Nepal continued to be ruled by the Shah dynasty, with the Rana dynasty de facto ruling the country"
 * "and transited to the Federal Democratic Republic" => "and transitioned to the Federal Democratic Republic"
 * Is there a more interesting heading than just "list"?
 * "Map of current day provinces" => "Map of present day provinces"
 * Refs should be centred
 * Are there any additional pieces of data about the kingdoms that could be added to the table? It just seems a bit "thin" with just two columns......
 * Regards -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:50, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , I believe I have addressed your comments except for expanding the list because there isn't anything available to add into the list.  CAPTAIN MEDUSA   talk  11:59, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Now it shows maps. CAPTAIN MEDUSA   talk  19:06, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Source review - Pass
Some random comments first:
 * That RFC that passed a couple weeks ago requires a table name on the table regardless of context I believe
 * With that said perhaps rather than one long column for the tables refs, that might look better next to the name (like here) or with a "sources: ... " like at the bottom of the table at List of presidents of the United States
 * Source comments:
 * Page number/s for ref 2? and 3, 5, 8 13 and 14 as well
 * isbn for ref 3? (see here – I believe this is the correct publication)
 * Reliability seems fine Aza24 (talk) 23:59, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , All done. Thanks for the comments.  CAPTAIN MEDUSA   talk  11:32, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Can we get page numbers for refs 1 and 3...? having 200 and 450 page documents without a page number to confirm the information kind of defeats the point of a reference :) Aza24 (talk) 23:21, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , Done.  CAPTAIN MEDUSA   talk  14:17, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Awesome, pass for source review. Aza24 (talk) 04:23, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Thoughts -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  04:36, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I would remove the maps because they don't really tell you where the kingdoms were
 * Not sortable
 * The sources column isn't really MOS compliant
 * I made an edit that ... I hope ... deals with your second and third points, Guerillero. (Feel free to revert if I misunderstood.) That's all I've got for now. - Dank (push to talk) 19:19, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , Done.  CAPTAIN MEDUSA   talk  11:40, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Not knowing the standards at FLCR, I had left my concerns at the article talk page but it seems to have escaped notice, so here it is. I have one other question: Do the sources cited support the matching of these old kingdoms with the modern day provinces of Nepal? Best, Usedtobecool ☎️ 02:16, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I wish to withdraw this nomination.  CAPTAIN MEDUSA   talk  15:36, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
