Hello fellow Wikipedians! Time again to analyse the previous month's collaborations. Last month, Mary Kom was chosen for the normal COTM and Indian cuisine for taking upto GA status. Here's a report of how things went by.
Mary Kom - Collaboration of the Month
- The article didn't see much collaboration this time.
- Only the lead section was improved and some other sections saw a bit of copyediting.
- The "Achievements" section was converted into a table and looks better now.
- References were added, but their reliability still remains a question.
- The article is messed with copyright violations. Sadly, those were detected last night. Someone should have checked this before.
- No images were added. The article lacks one. Could not find on Flickr as well.
Statistics -
Total number of edits 96 Number of participants 15 Increase in number of words 132 Number of references added 20
- Major contributors during the period under question were User:Jobin RV, myself, User:Bill william compton and User:Vyom25. The Boxing Barnstar has been awarded to them.
- Still, the article requires cleanup and we should not leave this article in this state. We need to work together on this and remove all the issues.
- Overall collaboration - ✗ Fail
Indian cuisine - for taking upto GA/FA status
- Contrary to what happened at Mary Kom, Indian cuisine saw great activity right from the start.
- The article was long enough and most of the content was present.
- What needed to be worked upon was verifying the existing info and some general clean-up.
- The article looks as colourful as it was before the start of collaboration, though some images were removed due to overcrowding! Image allignment was worked upon as per the GA standards.
- The lead section was expanded and split into three paras.
- One new section on "Dietary restrictions" was added.
Statistics -
Total number of edits 411 Number of participants 50 Increase in number of words 534 Number of references added 109
- Major contributors on this article were User:Barkha dhamechai, myself, User:Joyson Prabhu and User:Karthikndr.
- Also, contributions by User:Écrivain, User:Noopur28, User:Madhurirv vere significant and The Vada Pav WikiLove was sent to them ;-)
- I shall be waiting for another week or so, until the article is completely copy-edited (most of which is already done by Joyson Prabhu) and the ref-check is done. Will nominate then.
- Overall collaboration - ✓ Pass
That's all for this month. See you all editing hard on the next month's COTM's - Clothing in India and Mumbai.
Happy editing, happy collaborating!
