informal Peer review

  1. Refference No.1 being from a tourism promotion website not a source reliable enough for to verfy historical aspects.
  2. When checked for history of flora fountain in books purpose of building and who did built it found some conflict of facts and need more carefull look into the actual historical facts
  3. Refference No2 again used for historical aspects is a blog type report from an archtect by profession and not helpfull to verify historical facts
  4. Refference No3 also from tourism promotion kinda web site not reliabale for historical fact cross check.
  5. Reference 4 could not be accessed reached to an UNESCO dead link
  6. Reference 5 To Maharashtra state gazeteer 1910 also reached to a dead link.Retrievable again from Govt of Maharashtra website and would be valuable for cross check of historical facts
  7. Reference 6 also from tourist website not enough to give jsutice to historical facts
  8. Reference 7 not valid refence since circular refenece to same wikipedia article
  9. Reference 8 again leading to a travel guide
  10. Refence 9 leads to a news website homepage not having any reference to flora fountain
  11. Reference 10 is a some thing better than nothing reference to a book google book snippet but details in the book likely to remain unclear and not helpfull for verification of historical aspects
  12. Reference 11 Nostalgia section could have been better , although reference to a google book preview is there still not sure of encyclopedic value or prominance vis a vis to an article of prominance.
  13. Reference 12 Poetic expression is ok reference for a nostalgia section, but this can remain a subection to nostalgia section
  14. Reference 13 & 14 again reference to a tourism commersial website
  15. Reference 15,16,17 hardly of any encyclopedic value
  16. If just to comment on references in totallity not at all any where near to expectation bar of english wikipedia .The articles present condition is good for shifting to wikivoyage ?
  17. If I came here with expectation to build an article at Marathi wikipedia depending on references at en wikipedia then this is big wastage of my time let me admit ,I got no good reference for an encyclopedic article building up,and Hutatma Chowk has a separate article but with zero referencing,sorry to myself.
  18. Some of the clutter in history section can be shifted to more relevant article Bombay Castle and need not be in this article.
  19. I am quite doubtfull about encyclopedic value of Section Signage project
  20. The official present name of the place is Hutatma Chowk if clutter from pages is removed and well presented we can merge article Flora Fountain in Hutatma Chowk article and redirect this page .And then page Hutatma Chowk can easilly be taken to GA level atleast.

Flora Sassoon

Hi. Some sources claim the fountain is named after Flora Sassoon. For example [http://forbesindia.com/printcontent/36657 Forbs India] and [http://books.google.co.il/books?id=kHJccZ92IecC&pg=PA18&dq=%22FLORA+SASSOON%22&hl=iw&sa=X&ei=Kqb6Uo-NO8SH4ATKnYC4Cg&ved=0CDIQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=%22FLORA%20SASSOON%22&f=false The Jewish Communities of India: Identity in a Colonial Era, p.18]. Is it incorrect? Ben tetuan (talk) 22:42, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
