  • There is a tag on the article listing a blacklisted source.
 Done contentious link, the contents supported by it and the tag removed.--jojo@nthony (talk) 12:49, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • The GA criteria don't require any consistency in source formatting; the only thing required is that it is possible to get to the source from the information given. There are some oddities in the references that won't hold up GA, but you might want to take a look at them anyway: you have "--" instead of an em dash in footnote 21, for example, which also has a close parenthesis with no open parenthesis. More of a concern is that some of the references will not allow a reader to identify the source if the link goes offline. I think you should at least add page numbers to footnotes 3, 4, and 7. You also have "pp. 8-" or something similar in footnotes 12, 25, 26 and 29, and in two of the chapters listed in the "Selected bibliography section". I didn't comment on this with the other articles of yours that I've reviewed recently, since it's not required for GA, but FYI the source information you give is quite minimal, and it would be nice to add locations to the books, and access dates to the web links.
 Done I have made the necessary corrections. In most cases, I rely on tools for citing books, articles and news and do not check the syntax too much. I will but do so in future.--jojo@nthony (talk) 13:03, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • As with the other articles I'd remove the cite and note in the lead.
 Done--jojo@nthony (talk) 12:49, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the lead could be expanded. You haven't been adding personal biographical information to the lead; any reason why not? E.g. something like "He was born in Krishnanagar in Bengal, and studied at Presidency College and the University of Calcutta, with post-graduate work at the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics and at the University of California, San Diego."?
 Done expanded to include the names of his illustrious mentors and protege--jojo@nthony (talk) 12:49, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please replace "superannuated" with a more widely understood word.
 Done--jojo@nthony (talk) 13:04, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Majumdar developed a few methods for precisely calculating magnetic moments and I thought the image will compliment the fact. We may remove the image if you feel so, please advise.--jojo@nthony (talk) 13:08, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Calculation of critical isotherm of Lennard-Jones gas,: partial sentence -- no verb, ends in a comma.
 Done Sorry, it was an editing bug, I have corrected it.--jojo@nthony (talk) 13:11, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • His work has been cited by numerous authors. Can you confirm that the citations support this directly, via a citation index or a statement to that effect?
 Done Could not find his citation index, removed the sentence.--jojo@nthony (talk) 13:14, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Two notable journals, Physics Today and Current Science, published obituaries on his death, which detailed the life and contributions of Majumdar: suggest cutting this; these are not notable facts in themselves; they're reliable sources that establish notability.
 Done Removed the sentence.--jojo@nthony (talk) 13:20, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think you need any of the external links. The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize has a link in the article to the Wikipedia article on it, and there is a link in the references to the list of winners. The others are papers and sources and are not specifically of interest to readers interested in Majumdar.
 Done Removed the links.--jojo@nthony (talk) 13:20, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Passing GA. A couple of follow up notes: I would either remove the image or include an explanation of how it relates to the text. At the moment the reader doesn't learn anything more about Majumdar or his work from the image. The reason you can't add page numbers to some of the footnotes such as 4 and 7 is because you're using {{cite web}}, but the underlying source is a journal. It would be more natural to use {{cite journal}} and give the URL for the link parameter. Neither of these points justifies holding up promotion, though.

Thanks mate. I have corrected citations 4 and 7 to add page numbers. --jojo@nthony (talk) 13:55, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Added an explanation to the image--jojo@nthony (talk) 05:23, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
