I've listed this article for peer review coz, I’m the creator and major contributor to this article and not getting additional support. It was earlier created as Politics and Government of Kerala that I’ve moved to proper title and edited a lot, added images etc. Someone please look into this and try getting better to make it future FA.

Ruhrfisch comments: I learned much about Kerala I did not know before. A lot of work has been done here already, and here are my suggestions for improvement:

  • Per WP:LEAD expand the lead to summarize the whole article - I think if it is a section or subsection header, it should be at least mentioned somehow in the lead.
  • I think a map showing the location of Kerala within India would help for those who are unfamiliar with the state.
  • The article uses WP:summary style, but the section on the Governor and several others are too short in my opinion.
  • Many more references are needed - whole sections are unreferenced currently (Governor, Executive, Chief Minister, etc.). See WP:CITE
  • Some sections are very short and perhaps could be combined - for example Chief Minister and Council of Ministers.
  • I really do not have any idea what it is that the Council of Ministers does. I am also not clear on the role of the Governor versus the Chief Minister. For each section, try to make sure it answers the basic questions: who, what, why, where, when and how.
  • The article needs a copy edit for grammar, punctuation and general fixes. For example, under "State emblems" The state animal of Kerala is elephant and the government emblem has also two elephants in it. Other state emblems are, the state bird is Great Indian hornbill (ML:), state flower is Golden shower (ML:) and the state tree is coconut tree [4] could be copy edited to something like: The state animal of Kerala is the elephant and there are two elephants on the government seal (I would use seal and not emblem here?). Other state emblems are: the state bird is the Great Indian hornbill (ML:); the state flower is the Golden shower (ML:); and the state tree is the coconut tree.[4]
  • Internet references should have the title, publisher, author (if known), and date accessed. Make sure they meet WP:RS too.

Hope this helps, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:34, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
