I did a careful check and based on my understanding of the laws & licenses
I think the images are all fine. Since judging Image licensing requires
intimate knowledge and a wide understanding of image policies around the
world, and I dont qualify in this regard, we welcome other experienced
editors opinions.

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<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mohandas_Karamchand_Gandhi…ef-151>.
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:
*^<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mohandas_Karamchand_Gandhi&oldid=470829986#cite_ref-5>
* 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&ol…
)
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:

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+c…
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*:
