Article: Created on February 20. The readable prose checks. Talking about policy, I just have an issue with the phrase "Their achievement and example was recognized by the Indian government when they were awarded the Nari Shakti Puraskar." That does not sound too neutral. I went to the source to see if it could maybe be a phrase that had quotations missing, but the current link (citation 7) takes us to a photograph that features the award being presented to a woman without any information on why the troupe was being recognized. The next phrase states "On International Women's Day in 2017, a representative was in New Delhi where they were awarded the dance troupe's award by President Pranab Mukherjee at the Presidential Palace (Rashtrapati Bhavan)", but citation [8] shows us a gallery of thumbnails with no particular backing of the information. I understand that for people familiar with India, they'll recognize the Mukherjee right away, or the presidential palace, or the fact that it was awarded in New Delhi (we can interpret that it was on Women's International Day based on the date) but it has to be stated somewhere in the cited page at least.

Hook: I find both interesting, specially the first one. The citations check.

I would pass it if my comment on that particular citation was addressed.

@GDuwen: I have added an extra ref and modified the un-neutral sentence, I had paraphrased, with a quoted and reffed adjective. Sorry you had a problem finding the image on the page of thumbnails (photos can be used as attribution). I'm hoping this addresses your concerns. Do feel free to just change the article if you find this easier. Thanks for your work. Victuallers (talk) 10:34, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Victuallers: Wonderful! That citation is clear enough for me. This is now good to go!
