All India Services Act, 1951

  • Comment: This is my first DYK nomination, hence, any and all critique would be welcome.

  • Template:Ping oh, ok. How can I improve the article? I can make the body of the article to be more than 1,500 characters long, excluding the copied history section. Is there anything else which can be done?

  • COMMENT: The ALTs also have to include All India Services Act, 1951 If you cannot make those relate, strike out with like this. You can paraphrase the history content rather than remove it entirely. If you want to submit an image with your DYK then need to include (pictured) in the DYK.

  • Template:Ping will do that, then. Also, I have striked out Alts 1-3 and have changed the image.
  • I inserted "(pictured)" Be aware that the DYK may be approved, but when advanced to the Prep/Queue stage, an Administrator may decide to not use the photo, as it does not directly pertain to the DYK article. I am sure that someone will start the review process soon. I feel that I am not qualified as I know very little about India. David notMD (talk) 16:47, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
  • Template:Ping no worries. I'm eagerly waiting for an admin to review this one, though.

  • Symbol redirect vote 4.svg New reviewer needed. Please note that per DYK rules, any text copied from other Wikipedia articles needs to be 5× expanded. For example, if a 400 prose character chunk is reused, the article must be at least 2,000 prose character total, which is beyond the normal 1,500 prose character minimum for new articles. If it's 1,000 characters copied, then the article must be 5,000 characters, etc. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:59, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
  • Note that the original hook is too long at 256 characters; I'm condensing it below as ALT4 so it's below the maximum 200 characters at 186 (175 excluding "(pictured)":

Symbol delete vote.svg The article total is 2934 characters. 2090 characters was copied from Indian Administrative Service#history. According to the rules, the page would need to be 10000 characters long after a 5x expansion. As it's been awhile since it was submitted and is far away from reaching the 10000 mark, I have to fail this. Meanderingbartender (talk) 20:11, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
