• Featured article review/Kochi, India/archive1

Notified: Thunderboltz, Gantlet and WikiProject India.

This 2006 FA fails 1c because of a lack of citations in many paragraphs. Many sentences and paragraphs are also very disjointed. —Aaroncrick (talk) 09:00, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

• Sources 3, 4, 10, 14, 15, 18, 19, 22, all from corporationofcochin.org, give "bad request/invalid hostname" errors.
• Sources 27, 30, 41, 44, 56 and 60 are all dead.
• Is this, currently ref #64, a RS?
• Is this, currently ref #67, a RS?
• Source 6, 50 and 51 are bare URLs.
• Sources 58 and 59 do not credit the work.
• "Source" #35 should be a footnote, not a reference.
• Overall, agreed with the lack of citations in very many places.

Working on these points. Reg. corporationofcochin.org, can't help that the official corporation website is down. The dead links are accessible via the archives. However I'll update them with newer sources if I can find any.--thunderboltz^(TALK) 18:33, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

• Delist Major lacks of citations. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 01:06, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
• Delist All corporation refs are out, could be fixed to link to archives. Along with that, Education is uncited, and Geography, Demographics, Culture, Transport and Media all need more refs, with some having only a few. If these refs can be obtained, and a few general fixes made, I'd be able to see this as another FA. Buggie111 (talk) 02:47, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
