This is such a major development and wonderful news indeed, Noopur. I am also happy that the GLAM event comes from a "soft" field of arts and culture which has not quite got the attention it deserves.
In the 25 articles, I would off the cuff recommend that about :
- at least 5 should be high level topics, such as textiles of India,
pottery of India etc
- two articles on the Ministry of Culture and the museum itself
- half the remainder on regional themes or techniques such as
"Bidriwork", or "carpet-making in Kashmir".
- rest about specific objects in their collection
In addition, I would recommend outcomes not just in Wikipedia but also in the field of Wikimedia Commons & Wikisource. If some language wikipedias come forth to cooperate, you may like to offer the key article about the museum in more than one language.
On behalf of English Wikipedians of WikiProject India, I pledge you our support to your venture. Feel free to ask for help on Wikimedia-in-en list & WikiProject India noticeboard.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur
