Parent Issue: #58063 pandas has a script for validating docstrings:

https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/blob/6a7685faf104f8582e0e75f1fae58e09ae97e2fe/ci/code_checks.sh#L92-L105

Currently, some methods fail docstring validation check. The task is:

  1. Take 1-5 methods
  2. Run: scripts/validate_docstrings.py

Example command:

scripts/validate_docstrings.py pandas.core.groupby.DataFrameGroupBy.get_group

Example output:

################################################################################
################################## Validation ##################################
################################################################################

3 Errors found for `pandas.core.groupby.DataFrameGroupBy.get_group`:
        ES01    No extended summary found
        RT03    Return value has no description
        SA01    See Also section not found

  1. Check if validation docstrings passes for those methods, and if it’s necessary fix the docstrings according to whatever error is reported. Note: Ignore ES01 errors, these are not required to be fixed.

  2. Remove those methods from 'code_checks.sh' if all errors are cleared and the docstring is correct, otherwise, remove the specific error that was fixed from the list of errors for that method.

  3. Commit, push, open pull request

Please don't comment take as multiple people can work on this issue. Just comment on which methods you are going to work on.
