Religious education in Kerala

  • comment @Bookku: This isn't about the language, its about the content. The article is titled "Religious education in Kerala".... an important subject. Wikipedia articles and DYK hooks usually start with the article's title quoted in bold Religious education in Kerala and the articles then go on to quickly explain what "Religious education in Kerala" is and why it is important to learn about (ie be on Wikipedia). Your article and the hook above do not mention "Religious education in Kerala" in bold and the first paragraph discusses lots of related stuff but nothing about "Religious education in Kerala". This needs fixing. This is not a review. The article needs this fixing before it could be reviewed. My advice is that you note that DYK articles need to be at least 1500 characters. I suggest that you target small articles while you get to understand what is required. Small articles need smaller corrections. Victuallers (talk) 13:02, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

@Victuallers: Thanks for your valuable inputs. Frankly enough while selecting title "Religious education in Kerala" there was bit of miscalculation on my side. Till the last moment I thought I would be able to import some part of religious education in Kerala related content –specially Christian and Hindu religious education– from the article Education in Kerala and I had positive hope I would get some sourcing from Google scholar, but sourcing in the Education in Kerala is much weaker than my expectation and I could find latest sources for year 2022 on Google scholar. So it seems such expansion would need further digging of sources and that will take it's own time.

One solution can be to rename present title Religious education in Kerala to ' Madrasa education in Kerala ', but I am not sure. What would you suggest?

Thanks and warm regards Bookku, 'Encyclopedias = expanding information & knowledge' (talk) 02:35, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

I would suggest either narrowing this article to the single event of gender discrimination, or to actually write a quality broad overview that indeed covers religious education in Kerala. I've commented here too[1].VR talk 06:53, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

@Vice regent: Though I am not sure relevant controversy can be treated as coat–track as such, but if other users too think split be a better option I am unlikely to contest a split request. (Renaming of the article to 'Madrasa education in Kerala' is also open to discussion so inputs for that too are welcome). .

Secondly unified article as of now is helping in adding kind of semblance of neutrality, since present unified article mentions some positive aspects of Samastha at the outset, those details otherwise not likely to be considered as relevant in a split article if we decide to split gender discrimination part in another article, and indirectly those benefits may be lost for Samastha. So rather than making hurry take some time to make your mind because split can be given at any time that won't be a big deal.

  • Reviewer needed to give this a full review as well as address the issues raised above. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:27, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for follow up and inputs. I could add only a little content amidst other distractions and updates will continue to be slow. I updated article for marriage related one gender issue, where as I am not sure which article the controversy about medical college students being subjected to gender segregation and being educated on religious views about LGBTQ. Though Kerala a high literacy state note worthy gender issues like one mentioned in DYK are not isolated but keep coming up.

  • @Victuallers: As I earlier said I had to dig more, now I am able to add at least one paragraph each about 3 other religions and update the lead accordingly. Lead and article still deserve further improvement, I hope and request your inspiring helpful inputs regarding the same.
I have also added few more alt options for DyK. Though I do have personal progressive POVs for women's rights, keeping personal POVs aside I have tried my best to avoid moral judgement and maintaining neutrality while drafting DYKs. International Youth Day comes on 12 August. I would be happy if this DYK can progress a little more by then.

Please read my first comment again. You do not need to take my advice (or that of @Vice regent:), but ignoring it and then asking what I think is likely to get a comment exactly like this one. I said a number of things including "This is not a review", but I realise that I should complete the one you assume I started. This article is not acceptable. Please read my first comment again.Victuallers (talk) 07:50, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
I regret you did not like my improvements. Idk I can match your expectations but I have been sincere in trying to understand those, but may be I do not get it with some communication and perception gaps. You expected improvement in article lead I did that. (Or did you want improvement by section lead to be associated with article title, then I did not get it on that line before this, I will). You wanted DYK to start with ".. DYK hooks usually start with the article's title quoted in bold Religious education in Kerala ..". Actually I did not find such provision in DYK policy, still I tried to incorporate that in these new DyK Alts. If at all any thing I am trying to play safe on neutrality and avoid moral judgement in Wikipedia voice which is core value to Wikipedia.
There are multiple sources which still I need access to like for like "Teacher and Education in Indian Society. N.p., Notion Press, 2016." where full preview is not available and reaching to right pages and writing about one one citation can be time consuming process.
DyK succeeds or not about article, process of getting further Sources and citation is slow but steady and I do not have any doubts about article reaching to B class in years time or so.
Thanks anyways Bookku, 'Encyclopedias = expanding information & knowledge' (talk) 08:49, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
  • Bookku I am going to come in on this. I am first off restating the hook to try and clean it up...
  • I also wanted to address the initial comment from Victuallers by noting MOS:BOLDAVOID: If the article's title does not lend itself to being used easily and naturally in the opening sentence, the wording should not be distorted in an effort to include it. Instead, simply describe the subject in normal English, avoiding redundancy. Further, some hooks don't include the exact article title for various reasons.
  • The article has significant English issues and will need to go through GOCE before I would feel comfortable sending it up. I have requested this.
  • The "History of SKIMVB" section needs a paragraph-ending source. It looks like you have something here you intended to comment out? There seem to be enough citations by density generally in the article.
  • 3,574 of this page's 12,580 bytes RPS deal with the madrasa controversy. There may be enough material here to split that as its own article. It sounds like it got a lot of attention and the state government response makes this not just a one-off event. There could then be a subsection of this page on "Gender discrimination in Islamic religious education" with a summary discussion of issues and a link out to a separate article on this one.
  • I hope my request of a GOCE copyedit will improve this page, and I think the concept of a topical overview is promising, but I am going to say no for now. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:23, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
@Sammi Brie: Many thanks for your valuable inputs.
I am quite happy with ALT2a.
While working on this article I have already collected RS sources on around half a dozen gender discrimination issues covered by Kerala intelligentsia and media. Just yesterday I requested a research paper source @ WP: Resource exchange. After your this message I created a red link in my user space User:Bookku/Gender discrimination controversies in Kerala. Since you have already requested c/e @ GOCE I will prefer to split after c/e completion but if you feel it is better to trim earlier then feel free, or tell me to do so, no issues from my side.
Cheers and Warm regards Bookku, 'Encyclopedias = expanding information & knowledge' (talk) 07:41, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
@Sammi Brie: Well done, I am sure you will succeed in time. I could not find the time that you have generously offered, and it was assumed that I was doing a review - my offer was that the work required was too large, so extra kudos for you. I hope you and Bookku can bring this to fruition. Victuallers (talk) 07:59, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
