The line starting with "Though Giridhar had acquired knowledge rare for children of his age," fails WP:COPYVIO

Newspapers, books, academic papers and the like should be used as sources instead of the Jagadguru's original recitiation videos, the university website and other websites which do not provide any information about their authors and editorial boards. Some links are defunct and should be replaced.
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
All major, non-obvious claims have references
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).
Fails WP:Sources in numerous instances, some of which are listed below:
The Jagadguru's website is currently used as a source. It most likely fails WP:Secondary - please check with the relevant notice board or replace with reliable secondary sources
The YouTube Singapore katha recitation of the Jagadguru fails WP:Secondary
The website of JRHU is used as a source. This fails WP:RS
TotalBhakti.com does not provide information on their editorial board or authors of their articles, hence it fails WP:RS

As a result, his numbering convention is the same as that followed by Philip Lutgendorf.[86]
I am unable to verify the equation of Shastri, Acharya, Vidyavaridhi and Vachaspati to bachelors, masters, doctoral and D.Litt degrees respectively. I am treating this as original research for now until adequate sources can be produced which state this explicitly.
Lakcing a cite, I am going to treat the line "Thereafter he was known as Jagadguru Ramanandacharya Swami Rambhadracharya." as WP:OR
I will wait for a month, until October 7, 2011 to allow these issues to be addressed before making a pass/fail assessment. Good luck in getting the issues resolved. All points raised in the GA review have been addressed. The article now passes GA criterion.
The official website of guruji is maintained by Shri Tulsi Peeth Seva Nyas, and 3 people mainly maintains it, if anyone want I can give their names and ids, I will try to get better secondary sources soon. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛TalkEmail 15:14, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

1a.
Needs copyediting for grammar
The line starting with "Though Giridhar had acquired knowledge rare for children of his age," fails WP:COPYVIO
COPYVIO also applicable for "He has also visited Singapore, Mauritius and England where he delivered several discourses on Hindu religion."
The source "Aneja, Mukta; Eyeway Team (2005), "Shri Ram Bhadracharyaji – A Religious Head With A Vision", Abilities Redefined – Forty Life Stories Of Courage And Accomplishment, All India Confederation of the Blind, pp. 66–68, retrieved April 25, 2011" is cited about 17 or 18 times and all instances need to be examined for COPYVIO.
Edits made
Have checked citations from Aneja 2005, and rephrased/reworded where the text was the same as in the reference.
Done with a first-cut copy-edit, Diannaa did a comprehensive copy-edit as well.
1b.
Recommend a copy-edit for several issues, some of which are listed below:
Fixes to titles are required per WP:MOS (example: "Loss of Eyesight" should be Loss of eyesight)
Some Sanskrit words are italicized, some are not (an example: Payovrata)
Rambhadradas's should be changed to Rambhadradas'. Please fix other similar errors.
The acronym JRHU is neither linked nor expanded or explained.
Several tiny, one, two or three sentence sections can be merged.
Are latitude and longitude of Chitrakoot, Uttar Pradesh really required right in the middle of the article?
Section headings starting with a semicolon (example: "; Jagadguru Rambhadracharya Viklang Seva Sangh") should be fixed per WP:Mos#Section_headings
Edits made
Section and sub-section titles fixed, words except the first one are capitalized only in case of proper nouns (Gita, Ramcharitmanas) and Sanskrit words (Diksha)
I have tried to make the italics consistent with MOS:Italics - proper nouns, major religious works, quotes in other scripts, words in Marriam-Webster dictionary (Sadhu, Mantra) are no longer italicized. I am unable to make out if all occurences of a word like Katha are to be italicized or only the first one. Anyway I have made my best effort to be consistent with the policy on this, please help in pointing out if I have missed any words or policy guidelines.
Tulsidas's -> Tulsidas' and Rambhadradas's -> Rambhadradas' change done.
JRHU acronym removed
Working on merging sentence
Latitude and longitude of Chitrakoot removed
Semicolons removed from section headings, but the copy-editor (Diannaa) put them back so I guess they are not an issue.

Edits made include
The Guru's official website is no longer cited. It was cited at five places, where secondary sources had already been cited.
Singapore Katha recitation citation removed. AICB biography is cited there already.
JRHU website is no longer cited, citations have been replaced by secondary sources wherever required.
Totalbhakti citations have been removed, other secondary sources are already cited for the same.
jrhu.8m.net is no longer cited. The sentence has been commented out till a secondary source is found for the same.
jagadgururambhadracharya.org is no longer cited. One citation has been replaced by the Handbook of Universities. Tulsi Award 2011 and quotes from Sunil Kumar Pintoo and Nitish Kumar have been commented out till a secondary source is found.
Astrojyoti citations have been removed, Zee News and Webdunia Hindi are already cited for the same.
Kuber Music website URL has been removed from the CD citation.
[96]^ "अष्टावक्र पर सारगर्भित चर्चा [Compendious discussion on Aṣṭāvakra]" is no longer hosted on Rajasthan Patrika's website. The citation has been replaced by "वक्ताओं ने कही अपनी बात [Orators speak out their views]" on the Dainik Bhaskar website.
For the composition of Sribhargavaraghaviyam in sixth Payovrata, only Dinkar is now cited instead of both Rambhadracharya and Dinkar.
To the best of my information, Rambhadracharya himself is now cited only where required, e.g. for his original quotes, his speech at the UN, for listing his works after 2008 (works upto 2008 have been covered by Nagar 2002 and Dinkar 2008), and for his opinions on conventions used in the critical edition of RCM. These are not an issue IMHO since it is clearly stated in the article that they are his own quotes, opinions or works.
As a result, his numbering convention is the same as that followed by Philip Lutgendorf.[86]
I am unable to verify the equation of Shastri, Acharya, Vidyavaridhi and Vachaspati to bachelors, masters, doctoral and D.Litt degrees respectively. I am treating this as original research for now until adequate sources can be produced which state this explicitly.
Lakcing a cite, I am going to treat the line "Thereafter he was known as Jagadguru Ramanandacharya Swami Rambhadracharya." as WP:OR
All three stated failures of WP:OR have been addressed
Lutgendorf statement has been removed, it was also not relevant to the topic.
Two books have been cited for the equivalence of the Sampurnanand Sanskrit University degrees Shastri, Acharya, Vidyavaridhi and Vachaspati to Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts, PhD and D.Litt respectively. The former terms are used by other Sanskrit universities also, for example Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan.
The line "Thereafter he was known as Jagadguru Ramanandacharya Swami Rambhadracharya." has been supported by a citation from the book by Shanti Lal Nagar.
