[edit] Good article nominee

• This article should not, IMO, be rejected from GA status citing the reason that it's unstable since created yesterday. This is because most of the text is culled from Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles and Fundamental Duties of India, which is currently on FAC.--May the Force be with you!

• Some things that jump out immediately that would keep me from passing this is as a good artice are:
  • Picture placement - because of poor picture placement/formatting, there two gaping white holes in the article where the text dosn't wrap around.
  • Headings - some of these headings have odd titles that are not readily clear to a casual reader, or even encyclopedic: Genisis and Inspration. Headings should be consistant and corresponding with other like articles. More appropriate heading titles might be: History, Development, Background, or even other original but specific and brief heading titles. I'm wondering if the Genesis, Inspiration, and Significance and characteristics couldnt' be intergrated more seamlessly? They all seem to essentiall deal with teh motivation and basis for the institution of the policy.
  • The notes section should precede the references section (BTW, the references section is very nice)--Esprit15d 18:45, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Done! ---Shreshth91 15:34, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA re-assessment

A few more comments on the articles need to be addressed and it is for that reason that the article will be on hold in the nomination process. Stated below are the comments :

• The first two paragraph in the lead section say the same thing. Just blending the two together would do the job.
• Subsectioning the sections would help the readers and the writers.
• The first 3 sentences of the Characteristics section repeat what was said in the History section.

• Subsectioning the sections would help the readers and the writers. - If you read the article carefully, you'll realize that subsectioning is not possible.
• The first 3 sentences of the Characteristics section repeat what was said in the History section. - done

I see no other points that should prevent the article to be brought up to the GA status. I, thus, grant the GA status. Lincher 11:56, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move?

Any reason why this should not be moved to Directive Principles of State Policy, which is currently a redirect here that I created about three seconds ago? Hornplease 19:35, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I would suggest Directive Principles of State Policy in India as a compromise, or if not, then I would prefer to stick with the current name. --May the Force be with you! Shreshth91 13:35, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
