Ahmedabad 1 Wikipedians deserve an award - definitely a barnstar each.
But more important, they deserve our time and support.

My way of thanking you guys is to go through two guidebooks (on Google
Books), some websites and some Wikipedia articles and prepare a list
of 87 places of interest around Ahmedabad. You can find this list of
places on English Wikipedia here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:AshLin/Ahmedabad

This will help you to place your images in Wikipedia articles easily
and also indicates where there is an article and where there is not.
Red Links can now be converted into stubs easily. It is possible that
I have not been able to locate some already existing articles for the
red links so checking once again is good practice.

The list is about as complete as I could make it from those sources.
Please feel free to add locations/delete them or to move the
information wherever you want.

Congratulations once again, Ahmedabad Photothon team. Great job done.

Warm regards,

Ashwin Baindur

>> Greetings!  This is a short update on the January edition of Wikipedia Takes Ahmedabad.  From where I stand, the event has been a resounding success!  Over seventy-five people turned up, both old and young, this morning, which is no mean feat since it was very cold as well as a working day.
>>
>> Special thanks to Noopur Raval, our benevolent dictator and project mastermind, Srikeit Tadepalli, who spent time with me following the project participants prepping them and helping them figure out Wikimedia projects.  Our heartfelt gratitude to Aviral Mediratta, Khayal Dave, Yash Vadiwala, Konarak Ratnakar, Smit Shah, Karthik Mistry and Chirag Solanki; our team leads and coordinators for helping everyone take beautiful pictures.
>>
>> Please keep an eye on our maintenance [[Category:Ahmedabad 1]], specially created for the event.  238 pictures have been uploaded so far... and we expect a lot more being uploaded by tomorrow.
>>
>> I will be posting a project report soon.  Thank you!
