- Will expand shortly to meet minimum size requirements, forgot that quotes aren't included. DTM (talk) 13:31, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
- I added some sources in the Bibliography. The article is at the moment quite substandard. It says practically nothing. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 15:19, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
- Did a little expansion with the help of the bibliography provided above. Although minimum DYK nom character requirements are met, the article yet has more to say; rather it is yet to speak. DTM (talk) 14:13, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
- I think the article is speaking/squeaking a little now. DTM (talk) 09:19, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
The article is new enough (nominated a week after it got started) and plenty long enough. I've done a bit of minor tweaking myself. Referencing is detailed. PQ not done (yet). Earwig's Copyvio Detector is happy. There are a number of issues around the hook. Firstly, the relevant sentence in the article ought to be reworded as it contains the word "including" twice. Secondly, the article does not say that Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah are the son and grandson of Sheikh Abdullah, respectively. Thirdly, while this nomination contains a source for the father-son relationship, is there such a source in the article itself? Please point me to it. Schwede66 01:34, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Schwede66, sorting out the three issues:
- Double word issue sorted.
- A recent edit to the article with a summary as “linking the family” links the three Abdullah's.
- Third issue covered above.
- QPQ also started. DTM (talk) 07:46, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
Good to go. Schwede66 09:15, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, and added a few tags in places that weren't clear. I also edited out the POV language. It seems to me you are taking quite a non-neutral stance in this article. You are branding the act as wrong from the get-go and include no other opinion as to its usefulness. The History section is almost unreadable; it seems to me that here you should discuss the initial purpose of the law to stop the timber mafia (whatever that means). Anything else you can do to tone down the critical nature of this article will help. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:02, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
- Yoninah, I will make the edits. Thanks for the suggestions. Just one point... is rape useful? is child pornography useful? is chopping hands off for fun useful? NO. somethings are just not to be entertained to make the article NPOV. At least with what I have understood of Wikipedia so far. Now I will go ahead and fix the article.
