Naveen, I believe INCOTM is happening after two and a half years. Remember Transport in India ??? 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. --Regards,

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?

if at first you don't suceed... :-)
btw, today I read an article yesterday about Ratan Tata and how he institutionalized an annual competition for the best failed idea - and is quoted as saying the equivalent of "failure is a gold mine for a great company." ...not counseling failure as the only and sure stepping stone for success, but you do get my point. :-)
I passionately believe that we should give this idea our collective best shot - and try and see how we can do things differently from circa Oct-Nov 2010. Much has happened since and I sense a degree of momentum that we can ride on.

Hey, I'm really optimistic, that we can go forward with this. Seeing the number of English editors is on a rise and enthusiasm of several people, especially Pradeep Mohandas, I'm really sure that this will and shall work. ---Regards,

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?

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.

I think WT:INB might be better place, just because it is more representative than this list for asking any feedback IMO.

hi,
I've put this up on the Noticeboard as well -
No prefered stand. I think we're worrying too much about niceties here. Let's set the rules as the number of collaborators increase and there are needs for such limits and rules. Why not work on all the articles nominated? This is the first time that this has been re-introduced. However, I have no problems whether we're collaborating on 2 articles or 5 articles.
Rules need be applied only when really needed. Are rules really needed here?
warm regards, Pradeep

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?
My personal view is that any number is good and if it looks like 5 is too high, 2 is a great start. It's really interesting to see the points made by Srikanth R and Naveen on the articles on transport. Clearly, this idea has worked in the past and has potential. I'd suggest that you start with any number, even 2. ...I suspect that as momentum builds, you'll find that it naturally scales up.
