I went through the images on the article and the only questionable image was of Birla House (a copyrighted image). I requested a flickr user to donate a similar image of Birla House, which he kindly agreed to and Iv made the switch. Would appreciate if someone else could go through all the images on the page and check if the licensing is good to pass the GAR.

Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-in-en] GA master class - Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi #2

I don't know if this is with the flow of the class, but I want to make a note about ref 152. Since the article cited makes note of both the temples, the ref should go at the end of the next sentence.

Referencing Tip #1 - Use Google Books to replace unverifiable references.

For a subject like Gandhi, you will often come across references such as this:

^ Bhattacharya, Sabyasachi (1997). The Mahatma and the Poet. New Delhi: National Book Trust, India. p. 1.

(reference 6 on this oldid - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mohandas_Karamchand_Gandhi&oldid=470829986)

The reference was for Rabindranath Tagore being the person who coined the term "Mahatma" for Gandhi.

Instead, by searching for "Tagore coined the term Mahatma" on Google, I got lots of links, a few with preview.

I immediately find this link:
books.google.co.inAmar Nath Prasad, A.N. Prasad Rajiv K.Malik - 2007 - 269 pages - Full view
It was Tagore, who popularized the term "Mahatma"- great soul as a description of Gandhi. ... His fame rested partly on his charisma-a world that might have been invented for Tagore — which was experienced at first hand in many ...

So when I click the link, i reach this page,

http://books.google.co.in/books?id=g2DHBzEO9UEC&pg=PA15&dq=Tagore+coined+the+term+Mahatma&hl=en&sa=X&ei=IpQOT9TpEYjUrQetj6XsAQ&ved=0CEIQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=Tagore%20coined%20the%20term%20Mahatma&f=false

which works admirably as a reference:

It was Tagore who popularised the term "Mahatma" - Great soul, as a description of Gandhi.

So just pickup the page url & add it to reftag

http://reftag.appspot.com/

and bang! RefTag gives you a ready made WikiText reference to use:

<ref name="PrasadMalikPrasad2007">{{cite book|last1=Prasad|first1=Amar Nath|last2=Malik|first2=Rajiv K.|last3=Prasad |first3=A.N. |title=Indian English poetry and fiction: critical elucidations|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=g2DHBzEO9UEC&pg=PA15|accessdate=12 January 2012|date=1 November 2007|publisher=Sarup & Sons|isbn=978-81-7625-730-5|page=15}}</ref>

Just add it instead to the article instead of the unverifiable reference & you only need to save.

Actually, since I used a different search term, I found another reference for the article instead of the one above.

Richard L. Johnson; Gandhi (Mahatma) (2006). Gandhi's experiments with truth: essential writings by and about Mahatma Gandhi. Lexington Books. p. 279. ISBN 978-0-7391-1143-7. Retrieved 12 January 2012.
