This list is inline with the other Padma Bhushan FLs of every decade. As usual, hope to receive constructive criticism for improvement. Cheers! Yashthepunisher (talk) 15:38, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments from BeatlesLedTV
  • "Satyameva Jayate" should only be in quotes not italics
  • "Truth alone triumphs" → "Truth alone triumphs." (multiple instances)
Pardon, but I can't see the issue here.

That's all I got. Great job on this! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:23, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

BeatlesLedTV Thanks for your comments, I have fixed the rest. Yashthepunisher (talk) 17:22, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Quick comment - You can't use File:Sharan Rani.jpg in this article, there isn't (and won't be) a suitable fair use rationale for its inclusion. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:02, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Removed. Yashthepunisher (talk) 10:02, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Fix external links
  • Be consistent in providing access dates. Some PDF's have access dates some have not.
  • Please provide alt text
  • Please resolve TRM's comment above and remove the greenish glow in File:Saroj Ghose - Kolkata 2014-02-13 8915.JPG
  • Try to find a better picture of B. K. S. Iyengar.

Once you have resolved the above feel free to count me among the supporters — FR™ 10:01, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Force Radical Thanks for your comments, I have hopefully resolved them. Yashthepunisher (talk) 10:12, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Short notes since time is short, identify who is BKSI in the black and white image. External links not fixed and Saroj photograph not fixed or replaced(Try changing the hue of the photograph on basic phone photoeditor/use filters on Photoshop) [If you absolutely cannot then I will be willing to forgo it] — FR™ 15:42, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Force Radical I don't see any problem with the external links now, the official site opens properly. The other site had some issue which I could't fix, so I decided to remove it. Sorry I didn't read the Saroj bit but, is it really necessary? Yashthepunisher (talk) 16:33, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There are some more problems which I found on a more detailed look:
  • none of the conferments of Padma Bhushan during 1990–99-1990-99 in 2000-09 ? also conferments sounds off ? May be a better phrase should be used
Fixed.
  • In 2003, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's pracharak (volunteer) Dattopant Thengadi refused to accept the award "until revered Dr. Hegdewar (RSS founder) and Shri Guruji (RSS ideologue Golwalkar) are not offered the Bharat Ratna".-the abbreviation RSS is not introduced before being used. Best to get rid of the word pracharak and stick to the word volunteer.
Done
  • As far as images go - I personally overlook them but it would certainly be good if you could tweak or replace the images of Veerendra Heggade and Saroj Ghosh(the Veerendra Heggade picture has a pink glow where)
  • mha.nic.in is down for me, the dispenser tool also says that they failed to establish a connection. To be on the safe side just add their archives in the refs

I won't oppose based on the pictures but then it would certainly be better if you could change them.

Working on the Images and the mha link. Yashthepunisher (talk) 16:57, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed the dead links. Will work on the images soon. - Vivvt (Talk) 10:07, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Vivvt how are we getting on here? The Rambling Man (talk) 10:02, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Force Radical and The Rambling Man: I am done with the changes. Please review. Apologies for the delay as I was busy in the real life. - Vivvt (Talk) 08:59, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Source review[edit]

  • This needs to be fixed.
Done
  • All web references should preferably be archived.
Done
  • There are certain references that are missing accessdates. They might be redundant in some cases but you'd want to stay consistent.
I have been told that Pdf files don't require accessdates. It is mentioned in rest of the refs.
  • The Hindu has not been italicised in some cases; sams for India Today
Fixed
  • Also, isn't Frontline a magazine too?
Yes, fixed.
  • What's "Hyderabad: Deccan Herald"?
Fixed.
  • The Pioneer and The New York Times among others haven't been wiki-linked at all.
Linked publishers at their first instances.
  • The ones that have been archived all look proper and functional. VedantTalk 08:55, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Numerounovedant Thanks for your review. Yashthepunisher (talk) 13:35, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • You might also want to remove Press Trust of India from the first reference, as you do not mention it anywhere. VedantTalk 17:47, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Yashthepunisher (talk) 19:06, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The source review is now complete. VedantTalk 20:50, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support from Aoba47

Wonderful work with this list. I could not find much to comment about except for my suggestion below. I support this for promotion. My only comment is this:

  • For sentences like this (Twenty awards were presented in 2000, followed by thirty-two in 2001, twenty-five in 2002, thirty-two in 2003, nineteen in 2004, thirty in 2005, thirty-seven in 2006, thirty-two in 2007, thirty-five in 2008 and thirty-one in 2009.), I believe that it is Wikipedia policy to put numbers over ten in numerals rather than spell them out. However, I believe either format would be correct as long as it is consistent across the board so I personally do not have an issue with it, but someone who is more by the book may raise this as something that requires improvement/change. Just wanted to let you know. Have a great start to your week! Aoba47 (talk) 21:29, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Aoba47 Thanks for your comments and support. I have performed the change as per your suggestion and MOS:NUM. Yashthepunisher (talk) 10:25, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for addressing this. Aoba47 (talk) 22:19, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from FrB.TG
  • Maybe de-link because WP:OVERLINK advises against linking countries or well-known geographic locations.
  • "Awards can be revoked or restored, both of which require the authority of the President, the award is archived and the recipients are required to surrender their medals when their names are struck from the register;[4] none of the awardees of Padma Bhushan during 2000–2009 have been revoked. The recommendations are received from all the state and the union territory governments, as well as from Ministries of the Government of India, Bharat Ratna and Padma Vibhushan awardees, the Institutes of Excellence, Ministers, Chief Ministers and Governors of States, Members of Parliament, and private individuals.[3]" Unbelievably long; definitely needs splitting. Also that comma splice is rather awful.
  • "These included 37 foreign recipients; one each from the China, Czech Republic" - why "the China"? That "the" should rather be used for Czech Republic.
  • " However she was surprised" - comma after "however".
  • " She stated, "I would only accept awards from academic institutions or those associated with my professional work, and not accept state awards."[8]" Do We really need this quote? Too much weight has been given to this part. I think that the previous three sentences illustrate your point just well without this.
  • "L. Subramaniam, known as "the god of Indian violin," was awarded Padma Bhushan in 2001 and is considered the first among Indians to introduce the concept of Jugalbandi between Hindustani classical and Carnatic music.[11]" "The god of Indian violin" part is really unneeded and is more importantly not given in the source.
  • "Raj Reddy is an Indian-American computer scientist and is the recipient of the Turing Award (1994) for his work in the field of Artificial Intelligence and computer science.[13]" When do we get to the part of his relevance in this list?
  • "A recipient of the Padma Shri and Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology, Govindarajan Padmanaban is an biochemist and biotechnologist. He is a former director of Indian Institute of Science.[19]" Great. But when did he receive the Padma Bhushan? FrB.TG (talk) 18:25, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your comments FrB.TG, I have hopefully resolved them all. Yashthepunisher (talk) 07:02, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
