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.
