[edit] GA

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

• The lead section doesn't summarize the rest of the article.
• The article needs separate sections on major branches of Art and Culture; e.g. Architecture, Fine Art, Performing Art, Cuisine, Dress and attire etc. etc.
• The images should be arranged in accordance with MoS.

1. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

2. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

• The article does not cover Shikh cuisine and attire which are integral part of Shikh culture.

The coverage of architecture, fine art and performing art is also not in enough details.

1. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   a (fair representation): b (all significant views):

2. It is stable.

   

3. It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.

   a (tagged and captioned): b (lack of images does not in itself exclude GA): c (non-free images have fair use rationales):

• Too many images arranged without sufficient context to the article.
• The fair-use rationale for Hola Mohalla is not clear.

1. Overall:

   a Pass/Fail:

   

This is a very broad topic and should have a good article on wikipedia. But unfortunately as of now this article is not adequately covering this topic and unlikely to do so shortly. - Arman ^(Talk) 07:15, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Holla.jpg

Image:Holla.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
