I am starting to address recent peer review feedback from User:Z1720 at Wikipedia:Peer review/Andhra Pradesh/archive2, copied below for tracking. Request others to collaborate, or give feedback on the same.-- Arjunaraoc ( talk) 10:20, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
The History section devotes a lot more space to recent events than it does to older events. I suggest summarising the information more effectively and moving prose to the History of Andhra Pradesh article, which can go into more detail.-- Arjunaraoc ( talk) 10:20, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
Religion section needs expansion.-- Arjunaraoc ( talk) 10:20, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
The "Family health" section doesn't really talk about family health, with demographic statistics listed instead. I think this should be moved to the general Demographics section.-- Arjunaraoc ( talk) 10:20, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
"Revenue divisions" and "Mandals and village panchayats" need expansion. As someone who does not know about India, I do not know why any of this is important.-- Arjunaraoc ( talk) 10:20, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
Expand the two paragraphs of the "Services" section and remove the headings as they are not needed and cause MOS:OVERSECTION "Meanwhile, Jagan Mohan Reddy announced that Visakhapatnam would become the new capital when he addressed a meeting on 31 January 2023, relating to an upcoming investment summit." has a "needs update" tag that should be resolved. In general, be aware of MOS:OVERSECTION. Sections with a short paragraph should be merged.-- Arjunaraoc ( talk) 10:20, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
"Festivals" should be expanded or merged with another section.-- Arjunaraoc ( talk) 10:20, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
I think ఆంధ్ర ప్రదేశ్ should be added as a native name but there's no space in infobox for this and idk how to do that Helloisgone ( talk) 04:10, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Rate | Attribute | Review Comment |
---|---|---|
1. Well-written: | ||
![]() |
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. | Prose is largely clear. |
![]() |
1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation. |
|
2. Verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check: | ||
![]() |
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline. |
|
![]() |
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose). | Lot of work is required on citations.
|
![]() |
2c. it contains no original research. | Please ensure that the citations mention what is conveyed in the prose. E.g. There is no mention of Kalagnanam being written in 16th century in the quotes. |
![]() |
2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism. | As per Earwig, no major issues here. Some sections would be better served with additional sources. Say for e.g. Festivals largely rely on a single source and almost follows the source text. |
3. Broad in its coverage: | ||
![]() |
3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic. | There are quite a few sections with just a few sentences or does not have adequate coverage. Would be better to cover with some more detailing. E.g. Services, Air transport, sports, health |
![]() |
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style). | Some sections go into unnecessary detailing in some aspects and give undue weight to certain events/persons. Even peer review comments have pointed out the same.
|
![]() |
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each. | |
![]() |
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute. | |
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio: | ||
![]() |
6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content. | Most images do not have licensing issues. Some images have restrictions on usage. Please check. E.g. File:Zamin Ryot masthead.jpg |
![]() |
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions. | There is a lot of image clutter. Almost every section has a gallery of images which are not essential to the content with multiple images being cramped. Please refer to WP:NOTGALLERY and keep only representative images. The images and charts also do not conform to the respective sections and are spilling over to other sections. E.g. Meeseva office image in history, multiple images of rivers, companies, power plants, colleges, temples etc. |
![]() |
7. Overall assessment. | As per the comments, the article needs quite a bit of working. Say for citations, I have checked sample cases while the entire article might yield more similar issues. Please work on addressing the issues completely.
As you have worked on this article extensively and the article has been waiting for a review for a while, I am putting it on hold for the moment. But given the extensive rework required, not sure if you can address the same within the next few days. Let me know your intention on the same. Thanks!

@ Magentic Manifestations, Thanks for your review. I have read through the review and agree with most of your feedback. I use the following sections for review feedback requiring clarity/discussion. I hope to address the feedback as soon as possible. I will request for additional time after working on it for 3-4 days.-- Arjunaraoc ( talk) 04:35, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
As the article may be read in parts by readers, I tried to see that linking to same article is not repeated inside each major section(==...==). If the GA recommendation is to link only the first occurence, I will follow the same. Let me know. Arjunaraoc ( talk) 04:41, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
ISBN numbers are quoted as available in the source at the time it is published. Striving for standardisation in this aspect may not be required, as any ISBN can be searched in relevant directories or may not be possible, if the title is not republished after changes to ISBN number standards.-- Arjunaraoc ( talk) 04:51, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
2024 elections is a major current event, hence it is covered as a subsection under Government and Politics. It also has links to articles which cover the topic in detail. Please elaborate on your feedback.-- Arjunaraoc ( talk) 04:57, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
There is only one image ( File:Zamin Ryot masthead.jpg) with restrictive usage. This was used to illustrate the history of publishing news in Telugu. Let me know if this needs to be removed.-- Arjunaraoc ( talk) 05:04, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
I have updated History section addressing review feedback. I have omitted most of the details, reduced the number of pictures, updated citations to use Cite templates and also updated 13 digit ISBN with hyphens in the citations. I have retained pictures and names of key historical people. Let me know whether the revision meets GA expectation?-- Arjunaraoc ( talk) 10:19, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
I have addressed the feedback. -- Arjunaraoc ( talk) 16:15, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
@ Magentic Manifestations, I think I am half way through the changes. I will need another week to complete the changes. Can you approve the request for additional time and also give your feedback on the changes done so far and discussion items?
