[edit] To-do list

• Ilaiyaraaja: An A-class article that is impeccably referenced, but for the leap to take place to FA classification, the reference section templating needs to be improved; that is, it should be done the way it is done for other Features Articles. Could someone familiar with the latest Wikipedia referencing template do this please? I think this is an easy article to elevate to FA-status once the referencing is tidied up!

• Sivaji Ganesan: An article with tremendous scope for improvement (as there is a wealth of credible information floating around on the Internet — and journals and books too). AppleJuggler (talk) 03:18, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

• Kamal Haasan: Another neglected Wiki article on a major figure in modern Tamil art and culture. In the discussion page of this article, easy-to-follow guidelines are provided on how to improve this article. AppleJuggler (talk) 05:34, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
• Naidu: This needs help of someone with expertise in the subject to provide verifiability, and from others to provide verifiable in-line references. I have completed copyediting but it still needs help. --Belinrahs (talk) 14:46, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

• Someone who knows about Indian Mountain Railways should compare the articles Mountain Train in Ooty and Nilgiri Mountain Railway, along with the notes I have left on the talk pages, and decide if a merger or deletion is in order. --DThomsen8 (talk) 00:27, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
