Created by Nizil Shah (talk). Self-nominated at 13:58, 7 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Cusrow Baug; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

I will review this. TompaDompa (talk) 21:49, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - See below.
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Cited: - See below.
Interesting:

QPQ: - Not done.
Overall: Article created on 4 April, and meets the length requirement. All sources are, as far as I can tell, reliable for the material they are cited for. Earwig reveals no copyvio and I didn't spot any instances of unacceptably WP:Close paraphrasing. There are no obvious neutrality issues. QPQ has not been done. The hook is interesting but the currency conversion is not properly sourced. Some comments on the content:

The article does indeed need copyediting. There are quite a few missing definite articles, for instance.
- Requested copyedit at Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests.
  - Done.-Nizil (talk) 14:49, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The residential blocks of the colony were built between 1934 and 1959. – if the first blocks were completed in 1934 after two years of construction, the blocks were built between 1932 and 1959, assuming no rounding errors and that no blocks began construction earlier but finished later. The simplest fix would be to say that they were completed between those years (but see also below).
- Done changed to completed.
honoring her husband and three sons – I don't find the number of sons in the cited sources.
- Done cited now. forgotten to cite before.
with total 1545 houses in them – the source says "The properties [...] together have 1,545 flats.", which is quite different.
- Done changed to apartments.
The managing committee is chaired by Wadia family – by one member of it, per the source.
- Done This source ^[1] says the estates were then handed over, or ‘donated’, to the BPP in the 1950s, when it was agreed that the properties would be best managed by the Punchayet, albeit with the guardianship of the Wadia Committee of Management, which includes her descendants to this day. So I wrote that but now changing as you asked.
The last of the blocks were completed in 1959. – are we sure that these were the final ones to be completed? Per the source the S and T blocks were completed in 1959, but according to this source there is also a U block which I would assume came after the T block?
- Done changed to Sand T blocks.
The currency conversion really needs to adjust for inflation or be left out entirely. Going by Template:INRconvert, inflation amounts to almost two orders of magnitude. This of course also applies to the hook.
- Done Adjusted for inflation in article, and not adjusted in hook (to keep it short).

Ping Nizil Shah. TompaDompa (talk) 22:56, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for detailed review. I will do corrections in few days and ping you.-Nizil (talk) 17:48, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Nizil Shah: I see that the WP:GOCE has polished the prose. It would seem that the only thing missing now is QPQ. TompaDompa (talk) 09:25, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am currently reviewing the DYK nomination mentioned above. -Nizil (talk) 14:49, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
