Hi, I'll take this review and will mainly focus on copyediting issues. It seems to be a well written article so there would be few points to make. Jaguar 21:33, 21 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Initial comments

edit
  • The lead could be better organised; try splitting it into two paragraphs, with the second paragraph expanding more on the party's history?
  • Lead has been expanded.
  • The are fifteen references for Indian National Congress in the Candidates section! No problem of course, but it seems a lot
  • The sources talk about the seat distribution between INC and all its allies, so they should be included.
  • In the Advertisement section, I was thinking that the citations could be more spread out instead of all four citations at the end of the paragraph
  • Done
  • "Senior leaders of the party blamed Dentsu for its defeat in the elections" - why was this?
  • They needed someone to lay the blame on, so they chose Dentsu.

References

edit
  • Corrected
  • Replaced
  • Ref 76 redirects to another page, but this could just be me?
  • An archivelink has been added.
  • The article is well referenced and all the citations are in the correct places, so that part meets the GA criteria. The publishers and authors are all correct too

On hold

edit

The prose of this article is very good, it is also well referenced and comprehensive. The only minor problems standing in the way now are a few referencing issues and the summary of the lead could definitely be improved (for an article this size the lead is disproportionate). If all of the above are addressed this article should have no problem passing the GAN, I'll put this on hold for the standard seven days. Thanks! Jaguar 18:09, 23 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
