Description edit

Building Good Quality Articles About Villages in Kerala Subin.a.mathew (talk) 11:24, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of important pages and categories for this proposed group

please add more

List of WikiProjects currently on the talk pages of those articles
Please invite these and any other similar groups to join the discussion about this proposal. See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Directory to find similar WikiProjects.
Why do you want to start a new group, instead of joining one of these existing groups?
This project is a descendent of Kerala Project. The Kerala Project deals with a lot of articles and so lower levels of governance would be difficult to achieve importance.

All formatting would be similar to Wikipedia:WikiProject Kerala

  • It is a good initiative to start a project for "Villages in Kerala". However, I doubt the prospectus of this project since the Kerala project itself is not active now.
Unless there are some dedicated editors to build, maintain and nourish the project, it will be soon a dead horse. I couldn’t find any similar projects for villages.
To start a new project, please identify the objectives first. Please list down what distinguishes this project from WP:Kerala. Once the direction is clearly defined, we can go ahead.
As of now, we have around 2000 Kerala village articles. We need to identify the scope of improvement and categorize them according to stubs, mid class, etc. There is a long way to go.
Villages of Kerala listed district wise.
Districts Number of villages listed
Alappuzha 129
Ernakulam 148
Idukki 73
Kannur 140
Kasaragod 116
Kottayam 147
Kozhikode 124
Malappuram 147
Palakkad 207
Pathanamthitta 112
Thiruvananthapuram 123
Thrissur 226
Kollam 137
Wayanad 51
Appreciate your good thoughts and efforts put in for this. -- Aarem (Talk) 07:12, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion edit

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Villages in Kerala Thanks for the concern, I've been trying to find users who are interested. See for example i have started working on Thiruvanvandoor, Pandanad, Kallissery. All of them were orphan pages to begin with. Now i live near these places or am in the same locality. So i can add value. Thanks for the compilation of the list. It could help the project. We need to define some standard as not all villages of Kerala have fame in sense of history, the Chamba, Himachal Pradesh is a good article and have inspired me. -- Subin.a.mathew
