Third political list of mine in a row. I feel it meets the FL criteria's. As always, looking forward to your helpful comments. Thank you. Yashthepunisher (talk) 20:45, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments from BeatlesLedTV
  • Put centered en dashes in boxes that don't have images
  • Put the † into a key table above the main one; it's weird to see it at the end
  • Make sure names are sorted by last name
  • Certain times it says "Vice President" and other it says "Vice-President" (with a hyphen); it does this on the Vice President of India page as well. Which is it exactly? (feel like these things should be consistent)
  • A little picky but going with consistency, shouldn't it be "Constitution of India" and not "Indian Constitution". Everywhere else it's "...of India" and Indian Constitution redirects to Constitution of India.
  • Add alt text to all images
  • Ref 3 is currently a dead link
  • Archive refs
  • Opinion but it seems especially small at only six references (technically only five currently). Any way you could get more or is any more even needed?

Comments above. Great job so far. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 22:21, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

BeatlesLedTV Thank you for the queries. They have been addressed. Yashthepunisher (talk) 10:34, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
One last thing, add 30em to the reflist and make all dates DMY, not YYYY-MM-DD. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 22:00, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
BeatlesLedTV Done. Yashthepunisher (talk) 22:14, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • "In accordance with Article 65 of the Constitution of India, the vice president discharges the functions of the president when a contingency arises due to the resignation, removal, death, impeachment or the inability of the president to discharge their functions. They are also the ex officio chairperson of the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the Parliament of India." - this makes it sound like these are literally the VP's only responsibilities. That surely can't be the case?
There are a few more. Some of them are mentioned in the second para.
  • "There have been a total of 13 vice president," - missing S
  • "The first vice president of India, Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, took oath at Rashtrapati Bhavan" - what is Rashtrapatu Bhavan? Is it a town? Add an appropriate link if one exists
  • The map isn't sourced, but then I don't think it really adds anything (not least because the individual states aren't identified)
  • "The complete list of Vice-Presidents of India includes the persons sworn into the office as Vice-President of India, following the adoption of the Constitution of India in 1950. Some of whom later became presidents." - don't think any of this is actually needed. The first sentence simply duplicates part of the lead. The rest isn't a complete sentence and I don't think it's needed (although I suppose you could add a symbol to cover those who later became Prez).
  • Why no % for Pathak?

ChrisTheDude Thank you for the comments. Yashthepunisher (talk) 19:16, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think this list is excellent and I don't see any major problems, but I do want to recommend consistency between this article and List of Presidents of India and List of Prime Ministers of India. They don't need to be identical, but similarity in their table layout would be a good idea. I like how this list combines the year elected and vote share; those could be combined in the Presidents list (which has a whole lot of columns to begin with). The Prime minister list could also use the birth and death dates the other two have in the Name column. The presidents list could also use "Portrait" instead of "Photograph".
  • On this VP list the Party can be sortable.
  • The title should be consistent with Vice President of India, which does not have a hyphen. The linked official website does not either. Reywas92Talk 02:13, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Reywas92 All done. Thanks for the comments. Yashthepunisher (talk) 20:29, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
ChrisTheDude and Reywas92, Can you please revisit this page? Your comments have been resolved. Yashthepunisher (talk) 08:05, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm inclined to agree with the Rambling Man actually; neither the list nor article is particularly long. The election disputes section can be trimmed and Term can be shortened and combined elsewhere. The table looks good though. Reywas92Talk 17:48, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
