Chaubisi Rajya

Featured list candidates/Chaubisi Rajya/archive1

Nominator(s): ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 13:16, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chaubisi Rajya were sovereign and intermittently allied petty kingdoms on the Indian subcontinent, ruled by Khas from medieval India ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 13:16, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Drive-by comment - what does the number column mean/signify? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:42, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing really except for counting the 24 principalities. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 10:36, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would remove it. It makes it look like they were officially numbered in some way -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:40, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Removed. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 10:54, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Further comments

Why is the article title in italics?
"that Khas people ruled" => "that the Khas people ruled"
"then he proceeded to the unification process of present day country of Nepal" => "he subsequently began the unification process of the present day country of Nepal"
"Palpa was one of the biggest kingdoms and powerful" => "Palpa was one of the biggest and most powerful kingdoms"
"they were able to create independent kingdoms" - who's "they"?
"then he went to win a battle against Belkot" => "then went on to win a battle against Belkot"
"these kingdoms played a pivotal role" - in what?
"The unified Kingdom of Nepal continued to be ruled by Shah dynasty; with Rana dynasty de facto ruling the country" => "The unified Kingdom of Nepal continued to be ruled by the Shah dynasty, with the Rana dynasty de facto ruling the country"
"and transited to the Federal Democratic Republic" => "and transitioned to the Federal Democratic Republic"
Is there a more interesting heading than just "list"?
"Map of current day provinces" => "Map of present day provinces"
Refs should be centred
Are there any additional pieces of data about the kingdoms that could be added to the table? It just seems a bit "thin" with just two columns......

ChrisTheDude, I believe I have addressed your comments except for expanding the list because there isn't anything available to add into the list. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 11:59, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Now it shows maps.~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 19:06, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Source review - Pass

Some random comments first:

That RFC that passed a couple weeks ago requires a table name on the table regardless of context I believe
With that said perhaps rather than one long column for the tables refs, that might look better next to the name (like here) or with a "sources: ... " like at the bottom of the table at List of presidents of the United States
Source comments:
Page number/s for ref 2? and 3, 5, 8 13 and 14 as well
isbn for ref 3? (see here – I believe this is the correct publication)
Reliability seems fine Aza24 (talk) 23:59, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Aza24, All done. Thanks for the comments. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 11:32, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can we get page numbers for refs 1 and 3...? having 200 and 450 page documents without a page number to confirm the information kind of defeats the point of a reference :) Aza24 (talk) 23:21, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Aza24, Done. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 14:17, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome, pass for source review. Aza24 (talk) 04:23, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by HAL333

Could you link to Petty kingdom in the lede? I didn't know what that was and had to look it up.
You could also crop the lede image. I'm not sure if the white border is needed. Even if it was in English, I couldn't read the text at that size.
Could you add some context to the caption as well. Something like Prithvi Narayan Shah, the last ruler of the Gorkha Kingdom.

Everything else looks great. ~ HAL333 21:06, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

HAL333, All done. Thanks for the comments. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 14:16, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thoughts

I would remove the maps because they don't really tell you where the kingdoms were
Not sortable
The sources column isn't really MOS compliant

- @Guerillero and CAPTAIN MEDUSA:: I made an edit that ... I hope ... deals with your second and third points, Guerillero. (Feel free to revert if I misunderstood.) That's all I've got for now. - Dank (push to talk) 19:19, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Guerillero, Done. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 11:40, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not knowing the standards at FLCR, I had left my concerns at the article talk page but it seems to have escaped notice, so here it is. I have one other question: Do the sources cited support the matching of these old kingdoms with the modern day provinces of Nepal? Best, Usedtobecool ☎️ 02:16, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@FLC director and delegates: I wish to withdraw this nomination. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 15:36, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
