Hi there! WP:INCOTM is a WikiProject where editors from different parts of India choose an article and work on it collaboratively throughout the month.
It is a great opportunity to interact with experienced editors from the community and to get the feel of collaboration - one of the reasons and advantages of editing Wikipedia!

This month, Anil Kumble has been the article chosen for GA/FA of the month. And you being a fan of Indian Cricket team, I invite to you to join this collaboration and contribute in making Anil Kumble a good article. BPositive (talk) 06:37, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

July 2012 Newsletters!

	WikiProject IPL's Monthly newsletter (July, 2012)
Current updates: The coordinator elections will be held soon! Keep your eyes on our project in mid-August for more. Chennai Super Kings was selected as the FA/GA of the month, but due to lack of contributors to the article, we could not pass it as a GA. We're looking forward for contributors who are interested in the topic. The only problem with the article is to fix it's references and cite more reliable sources. If you do a lot of referencing work, you're most welcome! An IRC meetup was held to discuss future plans of the project and to discuss ideas for new articles. Seven editors were a part of it. The log of the meeting can be founded here. We hope that more such meetups will talk place. Our portal was launched early this month. You can find it here. We congratulate our vice-coordinator, Vibhijain, for working on this. Users are welcome to suggest new ideas to re innovate the portal and make it more customized. We also have a book, Book:Indian Premier League. Knights of IPL, a new award, has been launched. It was earlier known as IPL barnstar 1. Created by User:Strike Eagle, this is the highest award given by our community, and, hence, shall never be given for completing Tasks of the month. For completing Task of the month, please feel free to distribute another award by our communnity: IPL Barnstar. To distribute it, type {{subst:IPL Barnstar}} and save the page. For a list of people who have received Knights of IPL, please refer here. Upon request by the lead coordinator (Dipankan001), YuviPanda has created the all new Automatic Assessment tool for WikiProject IPL.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
