I've listed this article for peer review because, before proceeding for the GA status I need the valuable advices from the wikipedians to make this article more accurate, and want the article to be nominated as GA. Thanks and Regards, Omer123hussain (talk) 06:42, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm glad that some initiative has been taken. As the suggestions are put up, I'll start resolving them, one by one. Hope this wont take forever. X.One ^SOS 06:55, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

• "and once Wall Street used to be referred as a Golconda (former name of Hyderabad)." Why is this in the lead? WP:UNDUE
• Add name of founder in lead
• "6,809,970 and further 7,749,334" in lead is a dated statement, needs a "as of Date".
• stick to one convention km or kilometres
• WP:OVERLINK: Delhi, Nizam of Hyderabad, Khilji dynasty, Tughlaq dynasty, Charminar etc. are linked more than once in a para/section
• There are some dead links (use external links tool) and tags. Address them

At last, solid work! X.One ^SOS 15:48, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

I have removed the sentence "Wall Street used to be referred as a Golconda (former name of Hyderabad)." as I am not sure where to place it. Also, the sentence, "Hyderabad is located on the crossroads of North and South India" should be separated to the last line of the lead. X.One ^SOS 15:54, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Uh, regarding the third concern, it has already been mentioned "As of 2011". X.One ^SOS 16:10, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Omer123hussain addressed it. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 17:23, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

And, the sentence "Most of the youth wear western clothing.", I removed the Discover Asia source, but will this one do? X.One ^SOS 16:20, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

IMO, would be original research to use it.--Redtigerxyz ^Talk 17:47, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Wp:OVERLINK fixed. X.One ^SOS 17:07, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Will take a look again next year. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 17:23, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Hey, thanks a lot for everything! X.One ^SOS 17:29, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

• Check that every ref has a title, author, publisher, date, isbn (if available)
  • ref 139
  • ref 145
• Osmania.ac.in, Articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com etc. are not correct publishers, Osmania University, Times of India are the right choices to fill. Check All. Many Similar instances.
• "the world's number one airport" may chnage. Add "as of 2011" for this. Check for similar scenarios
  • "best airport in India" is according to 2010 data. Check 2011 data. Add "as of 2010" for now
  • "11,000 passengers a day to over 1.50 lakh passengers"
• Noticed a tag. Fix it

The article looks more or less fit to a GA. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 13:14, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Fixed most of the issues. The cn tags need to be addressed and I could correct only 30-40 sources in the publishing parameter. The "Airport" issues, and the formatting of the books have been resolved. But is that it? I would personally state some more problems the article is facing. First, the history section is improperly organized and the data is haphazardly mixed in each subsection. It should talk about Ancient, Medieval and Modern history, rather than about the present titles. The "Education and research", "Media" and "Sports" look more like directories, rather than showing useful content. I'll try fixing these issues before going for a GA review, because I doubt if the reviewer would hold the review for long. Thanks for the help! X.One ^SOS 09:11, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
