Indian Standard Time edit

I'd like some suggestions in expanding this page. Please ignore the inline reference issue for now (I'll add them once the copyediting is done). Any suggestions for what sort of free images I can add here? Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 18:06, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Review by - Aksi_great (talk - review me)

I read through the article. There are only few points which I could come up with.

  • In the lead - "The Indian observatory however, is located in the town..." - I could not make out which Indian observatory is being talked about. A wikilink would help.
  • In the history section - "Bombay time was maintained until 1955". But the very next sentence says that the Indian government established IST as the official time in 1947. So does that mean that Bombay did not follow IST for 8 years after independence?
  • In the Problems section - Who were the researchers in 1980? Independent or government? What happened to the suggestion made by them?
  • In the Time signals section - ATA is linked to a disambiguation page.

That's all I could come up with. This is my first comment at a peer review of an article. Hope some of the points raised by me are valid. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 18:37, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your review. Yes, the points are perfectly valid. I'll reply to each:

  • Indian observatory – I'm still to get credible data on this... will try and fix soon
  • Yes, Bombay did not use IST till 1955. I'll try and word it better.
  • Unfortunately my source [1] does not mention who the researchers were. Nothing concrete emerged out of it, and I've added it to the text. Thanks!
  • ATA is a call sign, I've remove the wikilink.

  • The locator map overlaps the lead text on my browser. Please check. As for the images, perhaps an enlarged crop of Image:Timezones.png? Also, you could add something about how the correct time is transferred to the people - about 174 on BSNL et al.-- thunderboltza.k.a.Deepu Joseph |TALK06:25, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Made a new map. Added a cropped version, added some info on phone and times. =Nichalp «Talk»= 18:50, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
