Hello friends,

This is to announce Tag & Assess 2021 drive for assessing the class and importance of WikiProject India articles (on English Wikipedia) that haven't been assessed so far, a total of about 10,800 articles. The drive is planned for the period from 0001 hrs on 1st September to 2359 hrs on 30th September 2021.

The landing page for the drive is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Assessment/Tag_%26_Assess_2021

On this page, you can find :
* a place to add your name;
* information about the drive;
* guidance about how to participate in the drive;
* the running score of how many articles we have collectively assessed,
* the individual tallies of the participants;
* the rewards;
* and userboxes.

Editors will be classified into two groups, less than 3000 edits and editors with 3000 or more edits. There will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd place medals for those with the highest tallies in each group of editors .

In addition, barnstars will be awarded for those who cross 200, 400, 600, 1000, 2000, 300 or 4000 total articles assessed.

For those interested in automated edits, the script '''Rater.js''' has been tested and found to work on WikiProject India articles.

All are welcome to participate in the drive, including those who are not part of WikiProject India :) .

Expect to find periodic updates on this talk page and on <wikimedia-india> and <wikimedia-in-en> mailing lists :)

Happy editing,

Ashwin Baindur (User:AshLin)
