GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   • Biography needs {{Persondata}}
   • The lead should adequately summarize the content of the article. (Lead contains nothing about Future: 2020 and all)
   • Wikilinks should only be made if they are relevant to the context. Common words do not need wikilinking.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Comment

Sorry for delayed reply. Thanks Ankit for coming up and reviewing the nomination. Will you mind if you can let me know what are the necessary fixes I should work on the article? I believe that your review wasn't a detailed one and can be worked on after fixing few problems. -- ♪Karthik♫ ♪Nadar♫ 16:36, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
