Hi all,
It's time to analyse the previous month's collaborations. Last month, President of India http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_India was chosen as the COTM and Anil Kumble http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anil_Kumble for taking upto GA/FA status. Here's a brief account of how things went by.
*President of India http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_India* - Collaboration of the Month
- The article saw healthy collaboration in the first three weeks.
Most of the work which could have been done was done during this period and hence there was slightly less activity in the last week. Nevertheless, the collaboration, as the trend continues, was a successful one.
- Statistics -
Total number of edits 207 Number of participants 32 Increase in number of words 92 Number of references added 59
- Number of words increasing merely by 92 was no surprise, the
article being a general topic and most of the *info* was already present.
- One new sub-section "Pardoning Powers" was added and others saw
some addition of info wherever required.
- An article of this importance had only 11 references. The editors
focused on the referencing part and amazing things happened! 59 references were added which gave strength to the article and improved its quality. INCOTM continues its trend of improving and increasing the citations.
- Having said that, this time no new images were added and there were
only 3 editors doing the actual collaboration – User:Karthikndrhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Karthikndr, User:Barkha dhamechaihttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Barkha_dhamechaiand User:Ansumang http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ansumang. *Satyamev Jayte barnstars* have been awarded to them for their rigorous and tireless work.
*Anil Kumble http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anil_Kumble* - GA/FA of the month
- Anil Kumble, was again a successful collaboration. The article has
shaped up quite nicely and most of the GA criteria have been worked upon. I got some folks from WikiProject Crickethttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cricketfor this article and we had a great time! The article has already been nominated for GA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Anil_Kumble.
- Statistics -
Total number of edits 279 Number of participants 18 Increase in number of words - 241 Number of references added 57
- Again, over here the number of words decreased owing to some
cleanup initially and copyediting. Much info was not added. There was movement of info from one section to another and everything is now in its proper place. The article was restructured.
- Referencing improved significantly!
- One new image of him with his family members was added.
- The list of his Man of the Series awards, Test wicket milestones
and Captaincy record were formatted as per the MoS.
- Major contributors on this article were during the period of
collaboration were User:TheSpecialUserhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:TheSpecialUser, User:Vyom25 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Vyom25, User:Vensatryhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Vensatryand myself. *The Googly barnstar* has been awarded to them for their efforts.
While concluding, I would like to mention that getting some friends from WikiProject Cricket has increased the member strength. They are ready to contribute in the forthcoming collaborations as well. This idea seems to be working good, of course keeping it going is a challenge. For June, my target will be WikiProject:Food and drinkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Food_and_Drink. Will try to get some folks to edit Indian Cuisinehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Cuisine . That's all for now. Happy editing, happy collaborating!
