Hi there, do join WikiProject India!

A new day dawns and a bright future shines for Wikipedians in Ahmedabad.

Hi,

Thanks for participating in Wikipedia Takes Ahmedabad. It was a great success and we are very happy for you. Your city event has garnered over 700 images and has been blogged about internationally!. How awesome is that? Great work, friend.

Introducing myself, I'm a volunteer looking after WikiProject India - a group of editors who have got together to collaborate in improving articles on India in English Wikipedia. We have over 90,000 articles and are probably the biggest Indian Language Wikipedia after Hindi Wikipedia. Yes, we consider ourselves an Indian language & gave a status report presentation in WikiConference 2011. :)

People look first to English Wikipedia for detailed, well-illustrated, properly referenced and well-written articles before they look at the article versions in the Indic language wikipedia. This means that we can use all the help we can get. That means you! :)

By joining the WikiProject, if you are a newbie you get to learn things faster. If you are an established editor, you get to collaborate with others. Hardcore ninja Wiki-warriors get a chance to meet young enthusiastic members and to push forward their pet projects collaboratively. We have an exciting project going already - Offline Wikipedia for Indian Schools. We also have a Collaboration Of The Month where we select two articles and develop them. On our talk page, you can get help, participate in meaningful discussions, pick up tips & tricks and learn about new issues. In all cases, you can have fun here! :)

WikiProject India Tag & Assess 2012 Contest

Hello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require assessment, that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.

As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a Tag & Assess 2012 drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.

If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from Part One of the Assessment Guide. Part Two of the Guide will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.

You can sign up on the Tag & Assess page. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.
