Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Required - articles for Collaboration of the Month Dec 2011

[Pradeep Mohandas]

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

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Required - articles for Collaboration of the Month Dec 2011

[wheredevelsdare]

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Required - articles for Collaboration of the Month Dec 2011

[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?

Warm regards,

Ashwin Baindur

 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.

 Warm regards,

[Srikanth Ramakrishnan]

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.
