GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Surat/GA2. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Happy to take this :) Will post my comments within a week. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 12:40, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

@Annki777: This nom might have to be quick failed, but I will keep this open for response from your side for a week. There are several issues that need to be fixed before a proper review can be done: Sainsf (talk · contribs) 07:42, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

  • Copyvio: While these two look like copies of the Wiki article rather than the other way round, these look like worrying instances of plagiarism.
  • Prose and coverage: Lead does not comply with WP:MOSLEAD, quite a lot of sections that could do better with expansion ('People from Surat' looks totally unnecessary)
  • Sourcing: Citations need proper formatting (The City Mayors Foundation, an international think tank on urban affairs. [3] see this), inline citations lacking in lots of places.

Failing due to a week of inactivity and lots of issues. Sainsf (knock knock · am I there?) 06:54, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Please add: Municipal finance information

I would like to propose adding the following municipal finance information under the ''Civic institutions'' section of the article. The information is sourced from the CityFinance Portal of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.

Proposed text:

As per the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, the Surat Municipal Corporation reported a revenue of ₹3,538 crore (US$424 million) and an expenditure of ₹3,852 crore (US$462 million) in 2022–23. Taxes contributed to 26.4% of the revenue, with 73.6% of the income coming from other sources.{{cite web |title=Surat Municipal Corporation city finance |url=https://www.cityfinance.in/municipal-data/city/surat |work=Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India |access-date=9 March 2026}} Janaagraha Wiki (talk) 05:32, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
