Comments
edit- The lead needs expansion. At least 2 paras. In the 2nd para add about its specification, fleet etc.
- There are few issues with grammar and punctuation. Example- "GE has said that, during operations,
real timereal-time tracking will be undertaken for the locomotiveswith an aim toto increase productivity and minimize time duration." and "After winning the contract, General Electric started designing the locomotives whichwaswere done by the Indian branch of GE Global Research in Bangalore."
- "started designing... which were done"?? Really?! BTW, I am wondering - by any chance, was this change suggested by an automated grammar tool (just to be sure NOT to rely on this tool for grammar)? Also, I am not sure at all that "with an aim to" goes against "spelling and grammar are correct" (it looks more as a style
issuechoice). Ipsign (talk) 09:25, 9 July 2020 (UTC)- Ipsign, this is my first review and I am learning. so, pardon me if I have made any mistake. I check manually and also use tools to check spelling mistakes and all. ❯❯❯ S A H A 13:45, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

- Citations in the infobox and its info doesn't appear in the main prose. Add them under specifications.
- Sentences like "They will be used extensively for freight hauling and will replace the existing fleet of the ageing ALCo locomotives which have been the workhorse of IR for decades." in the lead seems pretty informal.
- The section "Locomotive shed" is not upto the mark of GA. It can be changed to "Fleet" and a prose can be added instead of the table.
- I will do that, but when Suvadeep Saha56 comes after me, you have to be there. Field Marshal Aryan (talk) 10:19, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
- Omit duplicate links like the 5th and 7th citation.

- ... that it took 190 litres (50 US gallons, 42 imperial gallons) of paint to complete the livery of the Indian locomotive class WDG-4G? Source: "The first locomotive rolled out of GE's Erie plant on 3 August 2017 with an orange and yellow livery that required 190 litres (50 US gal; 42 imp gal) of paint."
