Comments
  • No reason for a capital on "Literature" in the infobox
  • In fact, why not put "Civilian award for contributions to Kannada literature" in the infobox?
  • No reason for a capital on "Awardees" in the heading
  • "The award was established in 1987 by Government of Karnataka" => "The award was established in 1987 by the government of Karnataka"
  • "It is awarded each year for a best literary work, written in the Kannada language (one of the 22 Official languages of India) or for a lifetime contribution to Kannada literature by a citizen of Karnataka." - this sentence makes it sound like the award can currently be given for either of these things, but that doesn't seem to be true. Changing it would risk duplicating sentences in the second paragraph, so maybe just combine it with the previous sentence and say "It is the highest literary honor conferred by the Department of Kannada and Culture, Government of Karnataka State, and recognises works written in the Kannada language (one of the 22 official languages of India)" (no capital on "official")
  • "The award comprises a cash prize of ₹1 lakh" - but it doesn't, because later on you say it's been 3 lakh for more than 10 years. So this would need to change to "The award originally comprised a cash prize of ₹1 lakh"
  • " the assassination of M. M. Kalburgi" => " the assassination of the scholar M. M. Kalburgi" (gives some context as to who he actually was)
  • The lead seems very brief at only 1400 characters (not enough for a DYK). Is there anything more that could be added/expanded on?
I have added bits in the third para but there is nothing much I could find to add.
  • For what was the award given from 2007 to 2010?
  • Did nobody win last year?
No.
Any idea why not? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:16, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
ChrisTheDude Probably because of the political instability of the state. But there is nothing available online about it. Yashthepunisher (talk) 15:30, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
ChrisTheDude The rest has been resolved. Thanks for the comments. Yashthepunisher (talk) 14:24, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Lead makes no mention of the fact that it seems this award is now no longer presented.
  • You convert ₹3 lakh but not ₹1 lakh which comes before it...
  • Any chance of a fair use image of the shawl or the "memento"?
Sorry, I could not find a free image on commons.
  • "one of the 22" MOSNUM.
  • "in poet Pampa's town" do you mean "in Pampa's hometown"?
  • " Indian epic Ramayana" WP:SEAOFBLUE.
  • "1987 – 2007" unspaced en-dash.
  • Any more images to fill up all that whitespace?
  • "Kannada Lexicography" this isn't a lifetime contribution (contrary to the lead) and why is Lexicography capitalised.
It's per the source. He was honored for his work in the lexicography.
  • "Issues 1-3. " en-dash.

Comments from zmbro
  • Lead's all good
  • Add scope rows and cols to the table
  • A. N. Murthy Rao's image is under fair use so pretty sure it can't be used here (should also be a space between A & N)
  • Images need alt text
  • Got a couple links to fix (some simple, some not so much)
  • So is this award done being presented or was it just only in 2018? If there's going to be one for 2019 I'd add a row for 2018 saying no award

Rest looks good. Great job on this! – zmbro (talk) 22:39, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Zmbro Archived the one blue link which is working fine on my server. Replaced ANM's image. The rest has been fixed as well. Thanks for your comments. Yashthepunisher (talk) 06:36, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. Two more things: the ref col would look better centered and add a ref that says there was no award in 2018. – zmbro (talk) 15:46, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Zmbro I hope it looks fine now. I could not find a single reference for 2018, so I had to remove that bit entirely. I'll re-include it once the award is given again this year. Yashthepunisher (talk) 19:42, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
