[edit] Akbar

Needs some grammar checking and some expansion. Is the data supported and complete? RJFJR 03:26, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kambojas

You'll love this one. Its not a copyvio and its survived VfD once or twice. Its a complete mess, its 164KB long, and theres no way I can take it up. The job is basically tidying up this collection of dumped references, quotes, and the occasional make-sense paragraph. Whoever takes this on, good luck. Hedley 22:47, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Article is quite long, 64 KB not 164 KB. But it does contain interesting information though.
  • peresonally i dont see any problem with this article. it's perfectly readable though admittedly oversize. have read many wikipedia articles and frankly this one is the most informative one i have read here. *Dhar*
    • The references in this article don't have enough context to be useful. They need to be turned into footnotes that give full citations, or at least that use intelligible abbreviations. The talk page also contains a gratuitous amount of information. It should probably be moved to one or more subpages, and someone needs to check whether or not any of it still needs processing of some kind. -- Beland 06:29, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
  • I started splitting up the article into various parts, but this still needs a lot of work. I will keep working on this, but it is going to be fairly slow. kaal 05:50, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

    • Removed from my desk; not my area of expertise. Refined my Cleanup Taskforce listing to show this, as well. --BaronLarf 14:48, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Ok - I'll have a stab at this and see what develops, I think the plan must be to go for a rewrite sub page and see if we can get help from some of the editors who made this mess! Andreww 11:05, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
  • I will work on this simultaneously with other editors--Vyzasatya 07:59, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Asking to check status on this article: Added to User:Vyzasatya/Desk RJFJR 17:14, 15 February 2006 (UTC)


Considering the fact how this article was (5-6 months back). It has undergone a major surgery and relatively easier to read now. But the content and information in various sections is not well balanced. This is the main anchoring article for the rest of the many Kamobja related articles. I would like to make few suggestions for improvements
  • condense information in some sections and expand some sections to bring balance to article. In short we need a bird eye view.
  • Logical arrangement of sections so that a section smoothely flows into the next one.

[edit] Hindu deities

Needs a lot of cleanup and clarification. Also, the talk page debate between "polytheism" v. "monotheism" was never fully resolved. I think the problem lies in trying to translate from Eastern thought to Western thought without losing stuff in translation. --Kerowyn Leave a note 00:17, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

This page is STRONGLY biased by someone promoting homeopathic remedies with NO VALIDATED efficacy (see bottom of treatment page).

[edit] Chikungunya

A new virulent form of Chikungunya, a mosquito borne disease, is starting to rage through India, having infected over 1 million people in the last few months. The disease's spread appears to be accelerating and infection rates appear to be increasing, reportedly exceeded 50% in many localities. It has the potential to infect hundreds of millions in India and elsewhere in Asia, Africa, and even Europe.

The bottom of the page has become a sort of bulletin board for breaking news and resources, and is in great need of attention. As Wikipedia ranks #1 for a search on this disease, significant editing would greatly benefit those seeking information.

Following the model of the French version of the article, which seems logical, I have created a new page for info about the 2004-present epidemic and info about the progress of this epidemic should/could be moved there, while general info about the disease can remain on the main page. I regret that I don't have the time to do it myself. -Tripter 06:58, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I suggest that the information about treatments such as homeopathy and other remdies which are NOT validated by competent authories and/or published in proper scientific journals be erased. Readers may self prescibe such medicines thus loosing standard-of-care regimens.

I suggest that people who use the word "Allopaths" to say "pharmacologists" should not be allowed to write on a medical page. They can of course express their opinions by opening a dedicated page. It is too important that only VALIDATED information be published in this page. Homeopaths should not be seen, at least in this page, as a peer alternative to people such as scientists and physicians who seriously work every day to save people's lives.

As on September 30, Kerala, a southern state of India which is above the rest of the Indian states in health care system, is being ravaged by Chikungunya. Eighty deaths have been reported from Cherthala alone, which is a town in Alleppey District. The print media's coverage of the epidemic is shabby.
