AmritasyaPutra- i agree with your edits so far on this cleanup page. thanks Sdmarathe (talk) 02:53, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

@Sdmarathe: you/Anyone may also edit, I am done with simple cleanup for now, I will revisit after a gap to look at it in better perspective. I must appreciate you being very calm in the discussion. Avoid edit war in future, you do not have to edit war to prove any point even when another editor is edit warring. WP is recreational activity and should not be turned into a battleground. Advance your argument firmly but do not get involved personally/emotionally. Thank you. --AmritasyaPutra^T 03:03, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

@Vanamonde93 and AsceticRose: please feel free to directly edit this page. --AmritasyaPutra^T 03:03, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

@AmritasyaPutra: thanks for your advice! Of course being a newbie has its baggage :-) --Sdmarathe (talk) 03:15, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Note to all/myself, these changes 1 in article space need to be copied here. --AmritasyaPutra^T 18:21, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

copied relevant comment by Kautilya3 here[1]: I looked at it on the Diwali night. I didn't see any major need for copy-editing either in the public version or your version.

Thanks for copy-edit. Two observations: a) In section "Alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party", it reads The party ruled the state in coalition with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from 1995–99. Was it Shiv Sena who was the main party? As far as I know, BJP was the main party, and Shiv Sena was in coalition. In that case, it should read The party was in coalition with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which formed government in 1995/1996. b) This sentence mentions 1995, but the table below says a Lik Shava election was held in 1996. Which one is correct?

The section "Formation of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena" basically deals with a party split. Hence, its name should be something like that. -AsceticRosé 16:30, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks AsceticRose, I only attempted to do basic bare minimum cleanup assuming all the content is referenced. You are right about both points! I have made changes as recommended by you. diff --AmritasyaPutra^T 16:59, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

I have pulled in recent change[2] to the article in this cleanup[3] like noted before[4]. I changed cquote to quotation as per the note on their usage page [5]. --AmritasyaPutra^T 17:21, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

AsceticRose thanks for the meticulous cleanup. --AmritasyaPutra^T 17:23, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

• I did a pass of copy-editing. On the whole, it is a pretty poor article. Shiv Sena is a political party (or at least most of us think so). So, its political trajectory needs to be described. The article isn't even sure when it came to power (1995 or 1996?) and how it got to that stage. The BMC wins were long before the capture of the State Government, but the article says nothing about it. Given how many sources there are for this subject, it is quite incredible that people didn't find enough interesting material to put here. The electoral performance table is the worst I have seen, mixing up all different elections and constituencies. The whole thing basically reads like a stub article that grew by fits. The splitting of the sections that you people seem to have done made it worse, by removing the logical structure of the article. I put things into back into sections. Some people don't like the word "Controversies" but I don't know what else to call them. Cheers, Kautilya3 (talk) 19:49, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Kautilya3. I completely agree with you that the article is very poorly written, unfortunately I do not have the time or energy to research and improve on the actual content but with your major copyedit the readability has definitely improved. Your pointers are very apt and if addressed I am sure we can take it up for good article also. Cheers friend! --AmritasyaPutra^T 19:56, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Ok, we do what we can. Hopefully Sdmarathe will have time to improve the article. Cheers, Kautilya3 (talk) 20:18, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

In my recollection, the party came to power in Maharashtra in 1995 (1995-1999) and not 1996. Also locally in Maharashtra, Shiv Sena was a bigger party that was in alliance with BJP nationally (NDA). Manohar Joshi was Shiv Sena CM and Gopinath Munde was BJP deputy [6] [7] I just corrected/referenced those Wiki pages and will correct here accordingly. --Sdmarathe (talk) 22:32, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for that Sdmarathe, I noticed that some of the reference have partially incorrect syntax, I will fix them when you are done. Keep in mind that this is only simple and minimal copy-edit, Your resolution of {{citation needed}}, {{who}} tags are admirable. Gentle reminder to all: do not add any new content (not that anyone has, just reminding). --AmritasyaPutra^T 03:15, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

I have fixed/resolved 7 suspicious/dead links without changing content. There are 19 links to eci.gov.in with "connection issues" (assume them dead) for the tabular data. --AmritasyaPutra^T 07:08, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
