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,

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. --Regards,

Please consider nominatinghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Collaborations_of_the_month/Nominationsarticles for Collaboration of the Month (COTM).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Collaborations_of_t...
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.
