Repetitive
editThe narrative of the action and the citation make the article repetitive. For this reason, I propose relying on the citation and doing away with the duplicate narrative. Cinderella157 (talk) 11:00, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
Nowshera
editNowshera should be linked but it could be a number of places. Could somebody with more local knowledge make the correct likn pls Cinderella157 (talk) 11:06, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

- Sorry, I haven't been on Wiki much recently. But let's get to it:
- @Miyagawa: Just reminding, Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 03:58, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
- You're getting a rather high copyvio score, but from looking at it, it's actually picking up the quote from the Param Vir Chaktra section. It's clearly marked as a quote, so there's no copyvio present.
- Just one DAB link to Kondan. Although I can see that it's deliberate, so there's no issue.
- Lead: Drop "Born in 1916," as you've got his birth mentioned in the previous paragraph.
- Lead: It's worth adding a sentence to summarise the Legacy section.
- Early life: You've got a duplicate link in short repetition to Hanuman.
- "defence of Andaman & Nicobar Islands" better with a "the" added before Andaman, and swap out the "&" for "and"
- I can't help but think that "Partition" needs to be linked somewhere or spelled out.
- Cite #3: Rather than have the author as a news network, it'd be better to have that as the main source replacing The Times of India. Then use a "via=" function in the cite template to link through to The Times of India - just remember to add italics as the via function doesn't add them automatically.
- Cite #11: Remove the author details, since it's a non-credited source but actually from that website. Also, remove the italics from The Better India.
- Cite #14 & 16: Spell out "The War Decorated India & Trust" rather than twdi.in, and drop the italics.
- Cite #15 & 19: Spell out and link to Merriam-Webster, no italics. Also add a "subscription=yes" function to the cite template since it requires a login.
- Cite #18: Drop the italics, and add the subscription function as well.
- Cite #20: Spell out "Department of Sports, Government of Uttar Pradesh" and drop the italics.
- References: The final ref, was it really published by the University of Michigan in New Delhi? There's probably a location in Michigan as well that needs to be added.
More to follow. Miyagawa (talk) 10:50, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
- Actually, that's everything. Miyagawa (talk) 10:55, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Miyagawa: Thanks for the review, all done. Please have a look. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 13:23, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks, that all looks good. Happy to promote. Sorry it took a while to get around to actually doing the review. I haven't been on Wiki much recently and then my connection went down for half a week. But we got there in the end! Miyagawa (talk) 16:42, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Tyagi
edit@Krishna Chaitanya Velaga: G'day, thanks for the recent work on this article. One very minor point that I spotted is that currently there is a short citation for "Tyagi 2009, pp. 155–156", but there does not appear to a corresponding long entry in the References section for this. Can this be added in, please? Thank you. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 02:16, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
- @AustralianRupert: Forgot that. Thanks for picking. Added the reference. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 02:40, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks, Krishna. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 04:07, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
- And I removed it. That is one of the most notorious plagiarisms of Wikipedia published by Gyan. We shouldn't really be using anything by them, but most certainly not that. - Sitush (talk) 06:00, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
Sums
editHe was the third of eight children, with seven brothers and a sister
cannot be right. Do the math. - Sitush (talk) 06:03, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
Inconsistent numbers.
edit"Singh was in command of the nine personnel manning the forward post of the second picket at Tain Dhar. Singh and his section were able to ward off three successive attempts by Pakistani forces to capture their position. By the end of third wave, of the 27 men at the post, 24 were dead or severely wounded. Singh being a section commander at the post, displayed "exemplary" leadership, and kept motivating his men till he succumbed to his wounds.
And, from the citation: "Naik Jadunath Singh was in command of a forward section post, which bore the full brunt of the enemy attack. Nine men against overwhelming odds garrisoned the little post."
The numbers are inconsistent. Twenty-seven is a platoon size and probably the whole picket, which would have consisted of several posts. Would anybody else care to comment. Cinderella157 (talk) 04:24, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
The material in italics is redundant as it states much the same in the citation. Cinderella157 (talk) 04:27, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
Rajput
editJadunath Singh's whole name is Jadunath Singh Rathore and Rathore is a Rajput Clan. Even his name is there in List of Rajputs.RajeshRawal Mewari (talk) 19:12, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
