Data file(s)

If possible, download the dataset documented by you, and push it to the repository after renaming it as same as your documentation file.

For example, if the documentation file is named 'election-results-delhi-1995.md', then name the corresponding data file as 'election-results-delhi-1995.csv' (or 'election-results-delhi-1995.xsl', as applicable).

Note: To document a dataset, use the format given here, fill up the details, and rename the file according to the dataset's name, such as "election-results-delhi-1995.md". Then if you notice any requirement of data cleaning/reorganisation or lack of clarity regarding the dataset, open an issue (where the name of the dataset is mentioned) to note that task.
