I am nominating this for featured list because it majorly seems to fit the criteria and with comments from other editors it can easily pass. The list is based on similar current Featured Lists List of Padma Bhushan award recipients (1954–59) and List of Padma Bhushan award recipients (1960–69). Looking forward for constructive comments. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 07:02, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Pavanjandhyala

Comprehensive and well-written indeed. I could spot these two minor issues.

  • "On 31 July, the newly formed government retracted all civilian awards including..." -- all the civilian.
  • "Novelist Khushwant Singh who accepted the award in 1974 in the field of literature and education returned it in 1984 as a notion of protest against the Operation Blue Star." -- comma required after Singh and education. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 01:05, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Done with both comments. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 07:46, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Quick comment
You may want to add more images from Common. - Vivvt (Talk) 12:24, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Vivvt: Added four more images from Commons. Couldn't find more. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 10:57, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from Giants2008 (Talk) 21:28, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comments –
  • At the start, should there be a hyphen in "third highest"?
Yes I guess. Added now.
  • "are as well archived and are required to...". For less wordiness, try "are archived and required to...".
Done
  • "but excluding those working with the Public sector undertakings...". "excluding" should be "excluded" instead, and "Public" shouldn't be capitalized.
Done
  • The first sentence of the third paragraph needs "the" before Indian National Congress.
Done
  • "one sports persons" shouldn't be plural.
Done
  • The List of recipients section heading could be reduced to Recipients, as List of never adds much to section headings in general.
Right. Done
  • Kumari Kamala photo caption: Needs "the" before "late 1970s", and before "New York and New Jersey areas".
Done
  • In the Kelker caption, I'd recommend putting the abbreviations in parentheses after the usage of the full names. I was confused for a second before figuring it out, and the readers might be too.
Done
  • The Hangal photo caption needs "the" before Padma Vibhushan.
Done
  • The Raj Kapoor caption needs a comma after the quote at the start (between the quotation mark and citation).
Done
  • A few "the"s are needed before award names in the Swaminathan caption.
Done
  • The M. F. Husain caption needs a "the" before Padma Vibhushan as well, and needs "a" before "contemporary artist".
Done
  • I'm not doing a full source review, but I noticed that refs 15 and 18 have authors with their first names given first, unlike the others which have last names presented first. These should be made consistent, most likely all last names first since that would appear to be less work. Giants2008 (Talk) 01:26, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Done
@Giants2008: Have taken care of all your comments. Please check. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 10:57, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – With the fixes made, and a further edit that I made to a new photo's caption, I'm confident that this meets the FL criteria. Nice work. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:28, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Source review
  • Formatting: ref27- the work is Seed Magazine, not Seed Media Group (that's the publisher) (I've fixed it for you). Also note that when you add an archiveurl, if you add "|deadurl=no", the first link will be to the live page, not the archive.
  • Spotchecks: refs 1, 10, 20, 28 checked; all clean
  • Completeness: No obvious sources missed

Passing source review, and so closing this nomination as passed. --PresN 15:42, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Closing note: This candidate has been promoted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see WP:FLC/ar, and leave the {{featured list candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through.
