[Wikimediaindia-l] Err ... Stuff that exists, citations, and problems that seem a few but are slowly cropping up in number ...

[Srikanth Ramakrishnan]

Dear All,
I have had this problem for over two years and I belive that this
problem is unseen in most cases and will remain so untill addressed.
There are many cases where incorrect facts are shown with references.
This is purely due to lack of sources. I noticed this back in 2009
when I found that according to all available sources, the only
concrete trunk road in India is the Mumbai Pune Expressway. This I
know is not true. The East Coast Arm of the Golden Quadrilateral has a
few concrete sections, confirmed with photographs on the websites of
the National Highways Authority of India and the Nagarjuna
Construction Company. Apart from this, I personally have seen that the
Hubli Belgaum Toll Road Private Limited, Pune Satara Toll Road are
also made of concrete. Now since I couldn't use these pictures as
sources, mainly due to copyright issues and that I wasn't into
photographs at that time, I ignored it. Recently I thought I could try
and use the Oral Citations on this little issue and see, but after a
chat with Achal yesterday I dropped the idea as it would need to be
authoritative or in short I'd need a government official to talk. This
as I've experienced earlier, isn't an easy task. Therefore, I place a
request here for people to suggest something, as this problem is
rising unchecked ...
