Chitrakoot Falls
[edit]
- ... that the Chitrakoot Falls (pictured) is often called the Niagara Falls of India because of its wide water spread during the monsoon months?

QPQ fine, article length, newness and neutrality are fine. The hook is also diverting and we can AGF on the citation. Some other citations, however, are causes for concern.
- I can't find support for citation 8 (supporting the description of the weather) in the source linked: could you add a page number to the citation?
- Citation 5 (re "tribals" fishing) is cited to a book from 1955, yet uses the present tense. I don't think a 60-year-old book can support the fact as you present it.
- On the other hand, the article is interesting and generally conforms to Wikipedia policies. I have cleaned up some of the flowery language. Relentlessly (talk) 13:56, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review and edits. I have added the page number to reference 8. Reference 14 is added to support ref 5 on fishing in the lake by tribals. There is also a video clip showing tribals fishing below the falls. I am not sure if it is an acceptable reference.--Nvvchar. 15:25, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
OK, looks good. I have changed "tribals" to "people", as the use of "tribal" as a noun is very outdated in UK English at least: it sounds colonial, even racist (I obviously realise that's not the intent, but it does sound odd). "People" sounds more neutral and no less accurate. The citation is a bit confusing (not your fault: it's bizarre page numbering in the PDF) but all the facts are there. Thanks for updating it, @Nvvchar:. Relentlessly (talk) 16:40, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
