Lead In

Rajkot is the 28th urban agglomeration in India, with a population more than 1.43 million as on 2008

I recommend removing this sentence. If Rajkot is the 2nd urban agglomeration in India, then do mention it. Morever, "Rajkot is the 28th urban agglomeration in India" is meaningless

The Lead In is too. short. It doesn't summarize the key aspects of the city. Think of some key aspects and rewrite this section.
I suggest you to refer the Mumbai Lead In. Although the city has a lot of things to be proud of, but only the key points are mentioned.

History

Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian cities#History clearly states Do not use subheadings. There is no hard and fast rule that you must follow it. But the History section has too. many sub-sections and there is hardly any data in it. Just a meagre 1 or 2 sentences. Please do not use sub-headings. Only a full-fledged section is enough.
I suggest you to refer the Bangalore Article for this section.

Geography and climate

This section looks fine. Appropriate formatting willl do. The Climate sub-section is not at all Wiki-linked. Please wiki-link it. Try to wiki-link some terms.
Refer the Chennai article for Geography and climate.

Demographics

This will require some work. I am sure you can collect more data such as density, migrants, slum population, ethnic groups, religions from the Net.
Delhi has a very good Demographic section written. Please refer it.

Culture

I am sorry but Culture is a total mess. It doesn't have even a single Image. Culture section has to be the best in each and every city article. You will have to forge it somehow.
Please support the section with Images
Mumbai has a beautiful section on Culture. I advise you to refer there.

Economy

This section really needs copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone or spelling. You are never supposed to list Industries. You have to maintain a paragraph. Data within this section looks fine. But proper formatting and grammar is required.
Support the section with Images.
I suggest you to refer the Kochi Article for this section.

Law and government

This section is not fine. Try to keep the table at the extreme left.
Citizens can now get all their complaints registered with the Rajkot Municipal Corporation by dialling a single number with an assurance that the problem would be addressed within 72 hours--->>> Is this some sort of an advetisement. Please remove this.
In recent time, The most disturbing crime trend, however, has been an increasing number of incidents of parents murdering their children. Local government and state government are tediously working to reduce crime rate in city.-->>>Please use references. I really don't beleive this.
Support the section with Images.
Mumbai has a very well written Civic administration section which has details on courts, police, fire brigades, etc.

Education

Details are insufficient.
Where is the language or medium of Instruction details, CBSE or Gujarat or ICSE Board details, government or private run college details.
Support the section with Images.
Refer Chennai for this section.

Transport

Details are again insufficient.
Come on, it is very easy to chuck out details from the NET regarding Transport.
Support the section with Images
Delhi has a very good Transport section. Maybe you can improve your article by referring that article.

Sister cities

Fine
If Rajkot has only 1 Sister city, the I recommend renaming Sister cities to Sister city.

References

Fine for now. As you go on improving the Article, References will increase. Avoid any mistakes here. Currently, I can see Media:http://rajkotcityguide.com which is not referenced properly.

External links

Avoid so many Links.
Keep only the key vital links which give details on the city as a whole.
Do not include links which just focuses on Industries, but doesn't focus on other aspects of the city like History, Geography etc...

Other

Other items like Categories, Templates are fine.

Hope this review helps the Article.
Any doubts, please contact me. May this Article become a FA soon---->>>>>Kensplanet (talk) 14:18, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
