M. P. T. Acharya[edit]

I've listed this article for peer review to obtain ideas to improve the article on a relatively lesser known but important figure. The aim is to get ideas to improve it to GA or FA level. Many thanksrueben_lys (talk · contribs) 07:57, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I shall give the article a couple of more readings. But on the meantime, I suggest that you expand the use of sources, particularly recent ones. A quick look at Google Scholar (here) shows that there are a few available. Caballero/Historiador 21:59, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: G'day, thanks for your efforts so far. I have the following suggestions/observations: AustralianRupert (talk) 01:44, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • appears to be unreferenced: "The publication also acquired popularity in Pondicherry."
  • appears to be unreferenced: "The National fund scheme was initiated of which Madam Cama was the biggest contributor with (then) 5,000 Francs. The funds were strictly regulated to fund revolutionary activities in India, as well as fund Savarkar's trial."
  • "Strachan 2001" appears as a short citation in the References, but not a long citation in the Literature section
  • same as above for "Chirol 2006"
  • is that an ISBN for the Ashraf & Syomin work?
  • same as above for the Kaye, and Subhramaniam works?
  • title case capitalisation: "Anarchist portraits" --> "Anarchist Portraits"
  • same as above for "Edward Heath made me angry"
  • same as above for "The History of Doing: An illustrated account of movements for women's rights and Feminism in India"
  • same as above "M.P.T. Acharya: His life and times : revolutionary trends in the early anti-imperialist movements in South India and abroad"
  • are there further details for Ref 49? e.g. accessdate and title information? Also, when I click on the link it seems largely blank...has the information moved, or is it part of a sub page of that page? If so, I suggest re-aiming the citation
  • "India, Persia and the middle east" --> "India, Persia and the Middle East" (proper noun)
  • needs a reference: the paragraph ending with "Acharya himself sought to focus on organising recruits for the intended revolution. A prime target was Turkey, which had a substantial Indian presence, both Hajj pilgrims and as Indian residents."
  • "In 1918 Acharya moved to Kabul to join Mahendra Pratap's mission to the Emir to declare war against British India": probably could add a link to the Third Anglo-Afghan War here
  • this appears to be unreferenced: "This was the beginning of the end of Acharya's associations with the international Communist movement."
  • the last part of the two paragraphs in the Anarchism section need citations
