Another biographical list for me: Maurice Linford Gwyer to D. Y. Chandrachud. I’ve improved the lead, table accessibility and added references. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 02:33, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

• "However this convention has been broken twice. In 1973, Justice A. N. Ray was appointed superseding three senior judges. Also, in 1977, Justice Mirza Hameedullah Beg was appointed as the chief justice superseding Justice Hans Raj Khanna." - I'd suggest revising this to "This convention has been broken twice: in 1973, Justice A. N. Ray was appointed superseding three senior judges and in 1977, Justice Mirza Hameedullah Beg was appointed as the chief justice superseding Justice Hans Raj Khanna."
• Is there an appropriate wikilink for the "bar" heading? What this means is probably obscure to many people
• "Appointed by" columns don't sort correctly
• Footnote a isn't a complete sentence so doesn't need a full stop
• That's all I got! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 06:48, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

  @ChrisTheDude: Fixed all. Do you feel that the "Date appointed as judge" in the second table is an important enough column? Removing it would lead to both tables having the same columns. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:47, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

  Don't mind either way. Looking at it, though, I notice that Harilal Jekisundas Kania was apparently appointed as a judge and Chief Justice on the same day, and had apparently served as Chief Justices of the Federal Court of India for over two years before becoming a judge - is this correct? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:07, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

  That cell shows the date on which they were appointed as Supreme Court judges. Most of them were judges in lower courts before that date. This obviously looks weird for the first Chief justice, as he was also the Chief justice of the preceding court. In any case, I've removed the column. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 04:29, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

  @ChrisTheDude: Forgot to ping in my earlier reply. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:04, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

  Apologies, two more things I missed earlier: the "acting" entry in the first column of the first table doesn't sort correctly, and in both tables the image column should not be sortable -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:45, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Image review from Z1720

• Many images use the source link to the current list, but it should link to the former list. Please update these in the images.
• Almost all of the images need to be reviewed to ensure that they meet the GODL-India licence. If you are not the uploader of the images you can look at them and mark them as reviewed.
• Per MOS:ALT, alt text should be added to the images.

@Z1720: I've added the alt texts to all the images and fixed the source url in the images that seem to be from the page showing former chief justices. I don't have the relevant permissions on commons to review image licenses. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:03, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Concerns have been resolved. I can support based on the image review. Z1720 (talk) 14:10, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
