The former Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) was recently trifurcated into three smaller Municipal Corporations - North Delhi, South Delhi and East delhi.
According to MOS:COLLAPSE#Scrolling_lists_and_collapsible_content– Scrolling lists, and boxes that toggle text display between hide and show, should not conceal article content... If "Population Growth of Delhi" is article content, that should not be collapsed, and that is a small box, that'll not take a lot of space in the article! --Tito Dutta✉21:35, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If the template is like that then no need! Surely, the template has been used in some more articles. You can change the template if you are the creator of it, otherwise forget it, let me see I may add a note in template's talk later! --Tito Dutta✉13:47, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
BChange the first portion of the code (in the article, not in template) like this:
Notable among Delhi's arts and crafts are the Zardozi (an embroidery done with gold thread) and Meenakari (the art of enameling). if you are following BrEn then the spelling is "enamelling" Done
It seems it is difficult to do at this moment, so, it may not be done now!
Idioms
Abhi Dilli door hai etc –Well I have some personally uncanny feeling with this part. I am not asking to make any change right now, but I am actually requesting your opinion. For example, Aas-paas barse, Dilli pari tarse– very musical! Well, when this phrase became famous? If we know the time we can easily relate that time's socio-economic condition of Delhi. It will be an exciting brain work for a reader is not!
Abhi Dilli door hai I definitely want to learn when it became popular since it contradicts with Bose's "Chalo Delhi and specially "Delhi ab door nahi". Will it be possible to add timeline there?
Also I am confused if you need to use IPA for Hindi there, since a non-Hindi speaker-reader will not understand the pronunciation of these phrases! --Tito Dutta✉14:00, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It is tough to find a reliable source which says that particularly when did the idiom became famous so I guess that it is not possible to add a timeline, your thoughts? On IUPAC, I need help, I haven't done it before and I m confused but I'll figure out in 1-2 days. →TSUtp*07:42, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
AD BC CE BCE Done
This is another question. Are you using AD-BC or BE-BCE in the article? Currently you are using both! Example of usage of AD-BC
Tomara dynasty founded the city of Lal Kot in AD 736
who built the city in 50 BC and named it after himself.
Human habitation was probably present in and around Delhi during the second millennium BC and before,
Example of usage of CE-BCE
Settlements grew from the time of the Mauryan Empire (c. 300 BCE).
Delhi is known to have been continuously inhabited since at least the 6th century BCE.
Can you start the section little bit differently. Currently it seems you are writing on "Sports in Delhi in recent years". Commonwealths Games was undoubtedly a very big event in Delhi recently, but that does not mean you'll highlight it on the very first line of the section. I like the first line of the article Sport in Delhi– Sports in Delhi have a long and distinguished history. Delhi is the prime and capital city of India. It has hosted many major international tournaments and has professional teams in different sports. This immediately informs readers that the city has a rich and long sports history. If you can add at least one introductory line like this with a citation that'll be excellent! Let me know your opinion! --Tito Dutta✉15:11, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It is not very helpful to tell someone that actually this article contained some Indic script when he has finished reading the whole article since you have place the template at bottom (below external links section) --Tito Dutta✉15:45, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ref—improve Done
Citation 8, 9, 10, 11 – Now the references has been added like ''<ref>[http://www.travinfoindia.com/india-tours/golden-triangle.html]</ref>'' etc. please add ref title at least! Or you can also rewrite those using cite web etc templates! --Tito Dutta✉15:50, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
INR and INR Convert template Done
See "Reviewer's edit #03" below. I personally prefer INRConvert template, lakhs, crores these words are not very common for native speakers of English. Why don't you use the converter rather than writing the equivalent US$ etc manually?
In some places you have used ₹ template, but few other places you have written manually "Indian Rupees" or "Rs." (see Economy section for example). What do you think– use ₹ everywhere with INRConvert where it'll be possible and applicable?
Need help? This is a big task. You need to revise the whole article. I can help here! After making some changes (if you are planning to make this change), you can mention some sections here, I'll make changes in those sections! --Tito Dutta✉17:54, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Alt text please Done
Add alt text in some images at least. See #01, #02 in reviewer's edits below. I am personally a very bad alt text writer. And I have seen most of the alt texts are of very average standard. For example if I write in alt "Blue sky" and if a person is blind, how (s)he will understand what is blue? :-) But, still I suggest to add alt texts at least in some images. Well, something is better than nothing. See WP:ALT for alt text related help.
Many data have not been updated since 2006 or 2007. As a result, "as of 2006" or "as of 2007" are there. Please update these information, if available.--Dwaipayan (talk) 22:57, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
copy edited, add citations, expanded into two paragraphs; as there is no daughter article so i think two paragraphs are reasonable to cover the topic. If not suitable kindly re-store to previouse version. Regards :)--Omer123hussain (talk) 17:11, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Shah Jahan built the seventh city of Delhi that bears his name (Shahjahanabad), and is more commonly known as the "Old City" or "Old Delhi". The old city served as the capital of the Mughal Empire from 1638. --Tito Dutta✉21:35, 9 June 2012 (UTC) Done[reply]
In 1911, the capital of British India was transferred from Calcutta to Delhi, following which a team of British architects led by Edwin Lutyens designed a new political and administrative area, known as New Delhi, to house the government buildings. New Delhi, also known as Lutyens' Delhi, was officially declared as the capital of the Union of India after the country gained independence on 15 August 1947. --Tito Dutta✉21:35, 9 June 2012 (UTC) Done[reply]
Hindustani language is the principal spoken .................. Oriya, Assamese, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Gujarati. --Tito Dutta✉21:35, 9 June 2012 (UTC) Done[reply]
Notable among Delhi's arts and crafts are the Zardozi (an embroidery done with gold thread) and Meenakari (the art of enameling). --Tito Dutta✉21:35, 9 June 2012 (UTC) Done[reply]
though human habitation is believed to have existed since between the third and second millennia BC this sentence in lead, can you change it to something else? Firstly who believes there is not citation? Anyway, if we ignore this minor issue, then do you mean– have existed there in Delhi? --Tito Dutta✉19:02, 30 June 2012 (UTC) Done[reply]
I am not very sure, but is there any Wikipedia article on King Dhillu? I tried to find but could not, do you know? --Tito Dutta✉19:07, 30 June 2012 (UTC)Not done[reply]

Image position, beginning of a section and also alt text
I feel the article need some more details about the flora and fauna of the territory. This can include state symbols, forest area statistics, etc. See West Bengal#Flora and fauna to get an idea. In the "Civic administration" section, details about the governing political parties should be added, as in the "Government and politics" section. The culture section needs to have information about films and costumes, as in West Bengal#Films and West Bengal#Costumes.. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛TalkEmail10:09, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. WB is a FA and also this addition will take some time. I m Working on it but I fear that it might take more time so is there any problem is the work is totally completed after GA review gets over? →TSUtp*14:23, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just some additional notes. Due to the magnitude of crime in Delhi, the article can have a separate section for crime related acts; look at New York City#Crime to get an idea. Also in case the content is available, having a section on "Military" will a good option. Again refer to the NYC article to get an idea. (Note-This is not regarding the GA review. All sections I have advised are to make the article "comprehensive"; however to be a GA, they only need to be "broad", which this article is. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛TalkEmail16:36, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes! NYC is about to be a FA and most probably, I'll nominate it as I worked a lot on it. Delhi is my next goal for FA. Once it passes GA, I shall start improving as NYC is. I m having little busy schedule so no time now to expand but will have in future. →TSUtp*16:40, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The article does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute. Pass here. --Tito Dutta✉17:34, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
I m little confused here now. Is it a pass or fail or are you reviewing or does it need any work? I have put in many edits and I am ready to add more to fix the problems if there exists any. →TSUtp*17:22, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes it is on my watchlist. I even watchlisted this page when it was a red link and was waiting to be created as Delhi is something special to me and I don't want it to fail due to any minor problem. So I was little impatient and impulsive, sorry :) →TSUtp*17:41, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I even watchlisted this page when it was a red link – Excellent! I'll not a quick fail this article. In another article, I kept requesting to participate for 2 months See Talk:Islam/GA1#Comments, even after that I was waiting, but another editor closed the review! So, be assured. I'll let you know if you need to do something. --Tito Dutta✉18:53, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Final assessment
Like others I also feel, the current version of the article is a good article. Thanks Vaibhav and Dwaipayan fro participating in this review. --Tito Dutta✉00:13, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
