Dassault bags MMRCA deal defeating Eurofighter Typhoon

Finally after years and years of delays,negotiations and rumors the Indian government sources today announced that French firm Dassault has won a multi-billion dollar contract to provide 126 fighter jets to the Indian military.

"You can take it as confirmed that Dassault has got the deal. Since there were only two companies and it has come out as the lowest bidder," a government source told AFP.


Six companies including American F-16 and F-18, Russian MiG 35, Swedish Saab Gripen alongwith Eurofighter and Dassault Rafale were in the race in the beginning.

But in April last year, the defence ministry shortlisted Dassault and EADS, evicting the American, Russian and Swedish bids.
The process was started with the issuing of a global tender in 2007 after which all the six contenders were subjected to extensive field evaluation trails by the Indian Air Force at several locations across the globe.

Page Rating on Wikipedia

Social media craze has finally caught up with Wikipedia, the ubiquitous Like button is now showing up in many articles albeit in a different avatar as Page Ratings.This interesting new way of crowd ranking of articles aligns perfectly with Wikipedia's philosophy of creating an crowd sourced encyclopedia.

Page Rating
This nifty little widget at the bottom of the article lets you rate the page by giving 1 to 5 stars on the following properties:

• Trustworthy : Do you feel that this page has sufficient citations and that the citations come from a trustworthy source?
• Objective : Do you feel that this page shows a fair representation of all the perspectives on the subject?
• Complete : Do you feel that the page covers the essential topic areas that it should?
• Well-Written : Do you feel that this page is well-organized and well-written?

You Can also see the current rankings of the page by clicking on the "View page ratings" link which brings up the page ratings like shown below:

Whats the use?
As we have all come to know that too many of the articles on Wikipedia can not be trusted and are poorly written which was kind of defeating the whole purpose of its existence. But hopefully this page ranking system would help the good articles[which is most of the wiki pages] to float above the poor ones.

Its is crowd sourced so the next time you are on wikipedia looking at some article do not forget to check its rating and provide your own rating too.
