I've added a small section about Akshardham Gandinagar. I also changed the image of Akshardham New Delhi so that the two images in the article would match somewhat.

== Restructuring the article == |
|||
Hey all, I feel that the article, if wanted to be taken more seriously, needs to be structured better. |
|||
Currently, the article reads: |
|||
* 1 The Temple |
|||
* 2 The Exhibitions |
|||
* 3 The Yagnapurush Kund |
|||
* 4 The Bharat Upavan |
|||
* 5 The Yogi Hraday Kamal |
|||
* 6 Other Features |
|||
* 7 Guinness World Record |
|||
* 8 Creator |
|||
* 9 Akshardham Gandhinagar |
|||
* 10 See also |
|||
* 11 References |
|||
* 12 External links |
|||
I feel that this should be changed to the following, to make the article seem good and appropriate, encyclopaedic-wise: |
|||
* 1 History |
|||
* 2 Temple features |
|||
* 2.1 Monument ''(previously would be what the '''Temple''' is currently)'' |
|||
* 2.2 Hall of Values ''(previously would be what the '''The Exhibitions''' is currently)'' |
|||
* 2.3 The Yagnapurush Kund |
|||
* 2.4 The Bharat Upavan |
|||
* 2.5 The Yogi Hraday Kamal |
|||
* 2.6 Other Features ''(including what's already there, as well as Mystic India)'' |
|||
* 3 Awards |
|||
* 3.1 Guinness World Record |
|||
* 4 Creator ''('''may''' require heavy alterations, or some sorta joining to 'History')'' |
|||
* 5 Akshardham Gandhinagar |
|||
* 6 References |
|||
* 7 See also |
|||
* 8 External links |
|||
This, by no means, will essentially be the end result, but more of a springboard for the direction of change. Ideas were used from current [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|featured (star) articles]] such as the [[Cathedral of Magdeburg]], [[Palace of Westminster]], and [[Chicago Board of Trade Building]], so it would be hard to go wrong to organise the article in such a manner. Please add your own thoughts, otherwise I shall begin work on this format in the near future under the assumption that no one has anything against it. --[[User_talk:Harish101| Harish]] - 18:00, 2 January 2008 (UTC) |

== Akshardham Gandhinagar Section == |
|||
Is there a need for this on the Delhi Akshardham page? According to me, a link in the See also section should be sufficient - [[User:Wheredevelsdare|Wheredevelsdare]] ([[User talk:Wheredevelsdare|talk]]) 23:29, 25 January 2008 (UTC) |

== [[WP:INDIA]] Banner/Delhi Addition == |
|||
Note: {{tl|WP India}} Project Banner with [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Delhi|Delhi workgroup]] parameters was added to this article talk page because the article falls under [[:Category:Delhi]] or its subcategories. Should you feel this addition is inappropriate , please undo my changes and update/remove the relavent categories to the article -- [[User:Amartyabag|<font color="#0082B8">Amartyabag</font>]] [[User Talk:Amartyabag|<font color="#FF3333"><small> <sup>TALK2ME</sup></small></font>]] 04:52, 6 July 2008 (UTC) |

==Assessment== |
|||
I have recently revamped the entire article. We need a re-assessment on the quality of the article. [[User:Juthani1|<span style="color:#ffffff;background:#ccf"> <span style="background:#99f"> <span style="background:#66f"> <span style="background:#11f"><b>Juthani1</b></span> </span> </span> </span>]]<sup>[[User talk: Juthani1|t]][[Special:Contributions/Juthani1|c]][[User:Juthani1/Guest Book|s]] </sup> 21:08, 30 September 2008 (UTC) |
|||
''You'' have revamped the entire article? Anyway, just a comment: would is have been better to get a [[Wikipedia:Peer review|peer review]] on this article first? So that you have an article you know it prepared to a good standard for the GA nomination, rather than hoping to go off the accessors comments and getting a quick fix? Just asking from personal experience, it's been more helpful. --[[User:Harish| Harish]] ([[User_talk:Harish|Talk]]) - 09:55, 7 October 2008 (UTC) |
|||
It is going to be examined by a GA collaboration. If this fails, I will do that [[User:Juthani1|<span style="color:#ffffff;background:#ccf"> <span style="background:#99f"> <span style="background:#66f"> <span style="background:#11f"><b>Juthani1</b></span> </span> </span> </span>]]<sup>[[User talk: Juthani1|t]][[Special:Contributions/Juthani1|c]][[User:Juthani1/Guest Book|s]] </sup> 11:29, 7 October 2008 (UTC) |
|||
== Disputes (Guinness World Record) == |
|||
As good as it is being there, it has just one cite. For a GA nominee it's not sufficient. I also remember reading an article where the heads of these mandirs agreed to not chase up on being awarded the world record, if you can find it it'll be a good add as it gives closure/resolution to the situation showing that there's no ever lasting problem or something. --[[User:Harish| Harish]] ([[User_talk:Harish|Talk]]) - 09:43, 7 October 2008 (UTC) |
