Do we have consensus for reducing to two. Any objections or alternatives
proposed?

I interacted with several people at WCI who have
never been part of a GA
or FA process.
There is a certain thrill in being part of such a process. From waiting
for a reviewer to agree to the PR/GA/FA review given the backlog can be
months long at times to the actual peer reviews, collaborating with several
others including the reviewer and getting things in place is no childs
play. It means several hours of hard work with the process itself taking
weeks at times. The satisfaction one gets at the end of it makes the whole
process worth it.
The bar has now been raised to quite a high level on English Wikipedia and
several WP:India GAs have been demoted in the last few years. IMHO we
should concentrate on bringing these articles on par with todays GA norms -
which will be a relatively easier task given that the article is a former
GA. One such example of this being done is the Mumbai article which was
demoted and has now reattained GA status.

the Month Dec 2011
Naveen, I think COTM is not the place where red links can be developed
into stubs, start of even B class articles.
The final outcome that we can hope for is that certain articles are :
* Raised to FA/GA quality if not status (or at least)
* Get improved by numerous edits (or at least)
* Get improved due to numerous eye balls.
The articles most likely to succeed are :
* articles in the news
* articles about popular subjects
* articles about topics where large number of editors are interested
* articles about subjects which people feel are important enough to get
off their butts and edit
* articles people feel passionate about
That is why I think the waterway articles never took off. Look, even today
nobody from WikiProject India - Transportation has converted them into stub
or start. Can we ask for that to be done on "operational immediate" basis
(fauji lingo for 'urgent') as a start?
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur

Now, I want to raise another point. Do we really have the wherewithal for
a 5 article collaboration? I think that is too optimistic, perhaps we
should have a two article collaboration to begin with each month?

Naveen, I believe INCOTM is happening after two and a half years.
Remember Transport in India ???
Very much; We need to do similar collaborative efforts to make more GAs in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:INTI
To everyone else, this is an excellent opportunity to start and get a good
section of high quality India articles.
This has been VERY successful in the past, as I have PERSONALLY seen. I
once nominated Transport in India, and a month later, three of us managed
to get it upto a GA level.

Please consider
nominating<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia%3aWikiProject_India/Co…
for Collaboration of the Month (COTM).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Collaborations_of_…
Upto 5 articles can be selected for the COTM so plenty of scope available
for nomination of the month. It is proposed to close nominations on 30
November 2011 and selections for month of December 2011 made from whatever
we have. As of now, two are promising candidates - Mullaperiyar dam and
Manmohan Singh.
So dont be shy, be bold, nominate an article. Your favourite article could
get a new lease of life from collaboration.
