I am starting review. Others can join! --Tito Dutta (Send me a message) 13:01, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

I have read through the article (prior to starting the review and going to read the article few more times) and it is generally looking good. I'll make notes as I go, dealing with the lead at the end. I'll need at least one week to complete first round of reviewing.

Overview

• Red Links

I feel there are too many read links, specially in Modern Day section. I don't think most of these pages will be created soon. --Tito Dutta (Send me a message) 13:01, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Lead Section and Infobox

Notes on Lead section

Lead Section

• was an Indian nationalist considered to be one of the most influential revolutionaries of the Indian independence movement. He is often referred to as Shaheed Bhagat Singh, the word Shaheed meaning "martyr" in a number of Indian languages.
  - I think this needs citation! --Tito Dutta (Send me a message) 13:01, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
• Indic scripts

Following recent consensus you can think of removing Indic scripts from lead section of the article! --Tito Dutta (Send me a message) 13:01, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

• European revolutionary movements and was attracted to anarchist and marxist ideologies.

- In the article you have used capital M for Marxist in most of the places, so, change it to capital M? --Tito Dutta (Send me a message) 13:01, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

• He is often referred to as Shaheed Bhagat Singh

-The Wikipedia article is Shahid, so, why not direct linking? You can also check, if the linking is correct, since the article Shaheed or Shahid in Wikipedia is mainly about Muslim Martyr, according to Shahid_(disambiguation). Also as you have given a short description on Shaheed, do you really need to link it? --Tito Dutta (Send me a message) 13:01, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

• He is commemorated with a large bronze statue in the Parliament of India, as well as a range of other memorials.

- I feel this needs citation, and a range of other memorials - which memorials? --Tito Dutta (Send me a message) 14:09, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Infobox

• Date of Birth citation in Infobox

You have two citations for death date in infobox, I think you can add a citation

• Infobox image

Bhagat Singh, conspicuously dressed in western attire to avoid recognition during his escape from Lahore to Calcutta - the caption is too long. The last part of the caption needs a citation. You can think of adding the year in caption (i.e. 1929) Also the image is cropped and digitally altered from original version, according to file description page. Though it not very important, you can think of adding an original image in infobox. --Tito Dutta (Send me a message) 13:01, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

• Influence

Religion Sikhism (early life) Atheism (later life) Can you explain "early life and later life" (eg. age, year)? --Tito Dutta (Send me a message) 13:01, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

External links

• Clean up: Please clean up external links and rearrange according to importance! Remove unnecessary links like Bhagat Singh comics --Tito Dutta (Send me a message) 14:13, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

More points to be added --Tito Dutta (Send me a message) 13:01, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Proposal to close review

It's been a month and the nominator stopped editing on March 4th? I'm going to close this review as failed within 24 hours unless someone wants to take over. Thanks Secret ^account 00:26, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

24 hours is a very short time, I request you to give some more time! I had seen a message of primary contributor Joysan Prabhu in nominator's talk page. I'll ask him to take over. Thanks! --Tito Dutta ^Message 01:13, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

It's been another week since then and no changes; it should be failed at this point. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 12:44, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Doing so. A shame, but reviews aren't meant to be held indefinitely. Multiple writers were pinged by the reviewer on top of that. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 04:23, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Unfortunate! The worst problem is- here is Wikipedia there is absolutely no fix timing of starting the review. You nominate the article and wait indefinitely for a reviewer. For example this article was nominated in end of December/January, and I started reviewing in March (after three months). Most probably the nominator is in Wikibreak now.. (I had seen some his contribution, he is a good editor). I nominated an article Swami Vivekananda for GA status in March, I am eager to take a Wikibreak and can't do so since I am waiting for a reviewer. But, it is also surprising that other editors have not joined this review (if there was any other regular active contributor here). But, still it is unfortunate. Hope they can improve the article to GA status someday.--Tito Dutta ^Message 05:11, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
