Hello Everyone!
This month, Gateway of India http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_of_Indiawas selected as the collaboration of the month http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:INCOTM and Tripurahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripurafor GA/FA of the month. It's sad that there has been no significant participation for both the articles apart from some contribs by a couple of editors.
I just wan't to know from the community if we are going wrong in the article selection itself. Editors vote for an article during the nomination period but don't show up again.
We have experienced editors but what we are getting out of the collaborations is minor editing, grammatical corrections and stuff. That is also equally important as we are contributing to an encyclopedia. But at the same time, the article also needs to be expanded to make the collaboration successful. Tripura has had new additions but Gateway of India is lacking some quality edits.
I have been trying my best to get new editors and this month, we have User:Jobin RV http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jobin_RVas a major contributor for both the articles. But what about the experienced folks and the ones who have been involved in previous collaborations?
As a volunteer coordinator for this WikiProject, I would like to know the reason behind the sudden fall in the participation (since last month) so that we can figure out something to make the process better and to get successful collaborations.
Warm Regards, Pratik Lahoti User:BPositive
