This is India's highest sporting honour and its bestowed upon 28 recipients so far since its inception in 1991. Looking forward to some constructive comments.

Note: I am nominating the list to FLC again exactly after 10 years. The last nomination was concluded on 19 May 2006. . - Vivvt (Talk) 10:13, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Yashthepunisher
  • Please provide a better alt text for the images.
Done
  • The award is named after former Prime Minister of India Rajiv Gandhi who served the office from 1984 to 1989. A comma is missing somewhere.
Done
  • Was it instituted in 1991 or '92? because the award was first given in '91.
None of the official sources mentions the exact year. So I changed the infobox year for the consistency.
  • Remove "and" before Paralympic Games from the lead.
Done
  • The Times of India should be in italics, since its a newspaper.
Done

Leaning towards Weak Support. Support. I will provide a partial c.e. in a couple of days to make sure I don't miss anything, but great work on the list! NumerounovedantTalk 14:16, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Couldn't really find anything wrong with the article. Good job! NumerounovedantTalk 18:33, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have offered some more edits to the article, and I do have one further concern-
@Numerounovedant: I made the necessary changes. Please let me know if you have more comments. - Vivvt (Talk) 13:54, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Just a minor tweak, and looks good now. NumerounovedantTalk 16:03, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't Arjuna Awards be on the other side with an arrow pointing the opposite side in the infobox (considering the rank)? NumerounovedantTalk 16:06, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Numerounovedant: Thats the correct representation. The template has two parameters; preceded by and followed by. Arjuna Awards is ranked after Khel Ratna. So arrow and position is correctly placed. - Vivvt (Talk) 05:20, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for clarifying. NumerounovedantTalk 06:48, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Numerounovedant: I appreciate your comments. Thanks for your support. - Vivvt (Talk) 18:44, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Good luck with the nomination. Great work. NumerounovedantTalk 07:00, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comments by Dharmadhyaksha
  • Which one is correct? "sportsperson" or "sports-person"? Both are inconsistently being used.
  • Mention abbreviations in brackets of all those boards and authorities after their names. Then use those abbreviations. This should make some sentences easy to read. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 09:36, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
  • "The recipient(s) is selected" - not correct; "is" => "is/are" as recipients is plural.
    • Done
  • I see four instances of "honoured"; not a big deal but try replacing some.
    • Done
  • "the award is tennis player Sania Mirza" - "the tennis player" since you are using BrEnglish.
    • Done
  • "all government recognized" → "recognised"; also replace the other two.
    • Done
  • "sportsperson who is either penalized" → "penalised"
    • Done
  • "scrutinize the nominations" - I think you know what I mean.
    • Rephrased a bit. Let me know if you need further changes.
My concern was with "scrutinize" as it is in American English. Anyway, now that the word does not exist in the article, there shouldn't be any issue. FrB.TG (talk) 18:45, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The medals won in various International championships and events of the disciplines which includes" - use "include" since medals is plural.
    • Done
  • Ref 2 - I would remove Press Trust of India (since publisher of publisher cannot be found elsewhere).
    • Done You are right. PTI only provided the photo but the complete content is by IE.
  • Same goes for ref 30b, ref 33 (also NDTV Sports => NDTV), ref 35 (The Hindu), and ref 38.
    • Partially done Cleaned ref 33 and 35. For ref 30b and 38, PTI is mentioned as an agency which provided the content but the source link is by another publisher. Per second example provided at Template:Cite news, its okay to mention both at the same time.
  • India Today needs italicization as it's a news channel (ref 36). FrB.TG (talk) 14:11, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Done

@FrB.TG: I have addressed most of your comments. Let me know if you have more. - Vivvt (Talk) 18:04, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
