List of National Defence Academy alumni[edit]

Nominator(s): Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 12:19, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list. I am nominating this for featured list. The list has recently passed an A-class review from Military history project. Before nominating the list I resolved all the outstading comments from previous FLC nomination as far as I could. Looking forward for suggestions on any improvements required to meet the FL criteria.

Comments from Yashthepunisher

These links needs to be fixed.
"NDA is not only the officer training academy in India." I guess it should be "not the only.."
Fullstop missing from all the alt texts.
I'm not sure if "Thaindian News" is a RS.
Be consistent with Rediff's name. It is changing with every reference.
www.tribuneindia.com --> The Tribune
Times of India --> The Times of India
Economic Times--> The Economic Times
indiatoday.intoday.in --> India Today.
Ditto for Indian Express.

@Yashthepunisher: Hi Yash, thanks for the comments. I have added an archive url to the dead link. I've fixed the rest, please have a look. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 03:31, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There are still some green links and one dead link, fullstops are missing from alt texts and the rediff issue is still unresolved. Yashthepunisher (talk) 07:32, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Yashthepunisher: Thanks for the reply. I've fixed the red link (added an archive url), it should be fine now. Coming to the green links, I think the tool is picking something wrong, if the links are checked individually all of them work. Regarding the alt texts, as per the examples on WP:ALT, I see that very short phrases, something such as names, don't require a full stop. However, consistency is to be maintained. With regards to the rediff, I've maintained consistency over the mention, I has been mentioned as Rediff all through.

Support I have performed some minor edits. Good luck! Yashthepunisher (talk) 04:40, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments from BeatlesLedTV

I think the number and course number columns should be centered.
I think the number, course number, and name columns should be sortable for every table.
You have scope cols but not scope rows and these are needed per MOS:ACCESS
Fix redirect links. Ex. in first table, PVSM → PVSM
Normally references have their own column but almost every individual has at least 4 refs so I think you're good with keeping them in the notes column. Having their own columns in this case would make it way too large.

Other than that great job! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 21:13, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@BeatlesLedTV: Thanks for the comments. Fixed the issues, please have a look. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 14:04, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support – I got no other comments or concerns. Great job! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 15:40, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Couple of comments

Publication dates appear to be missing from several online newspaper sources.
Row scopes should be the names of the alumni, not the "number" they are.
Sortable tables should have everything that's linked linked every time.

@The Rambling Man: Thanks for the comments. But I am sorry that I'll not be able to work on these until 20 December 2017, as I will be out of station with limited internet connectivity. I'll get to back to these as soon as I come back. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 10:34, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, thanks for letting me know. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:39, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: I've added publication dates wherever possible. Row scopes corrected, and linked everything as required. Please have a look. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 15:05, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Force Radical

There are too many references which are linked in all the places in some lists, causing it to become an eyesore maybe it could be added in a general row at the bottom(Like those done under Maha Vir chakra)
Expand the first instances of all abbreviations(CAS,CNS,COAS)
Use † to denote those who have died posthumously and footnote the same at the bottom

Otherwise this list is pretty good and I believe it to be close to FL class .Support — comment added by Force Radical (talk • contribs) 08:08, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Force Radical: Thanks for the comments. References have been removed/adjusted to avoid duplication and excessive mention. The abbreviations have already been defined in the introduction para of section 1. Added a footnote for all posthumous recipients. Please have a look.

@Force Radical: I hope your comments have been resolved, are there any more? Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 00:45, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
