Wikipedia talk:WikiProject India/The 10,000 Challenge

Welcome!

Invitation template

Encyclopædius, I think we need an invitational template just like the Asian challenge, so that people can forward the message to other editors. Thank you. Dey subrata (talk) 08:01, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Dey subrata:. Good idea!† Encyclopædius 09:25, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Dey subrata: There you go Template:WikiProject India/The 10,000 Challenge Invite ‎! I'm going to ask Ser Amantio to sent out invites to Indian project members using AWB.† Encyclopædius 11:24, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good, sent around 30 invites, the rest will continue and once Ser Amantio send all the members I hope more users will join. Dey subrata (talk) 12:09, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dey subrata, Encyclopædius what about issuing a newsletter? ❯❯❯ S A H A 16:55, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good!† Encyclopædius 17:03, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion

I think, the 10k challenge is way too huge w.r.t to active editors in Indian wiki. 3000/5000 would have been better. See, this page has only 139 pageviews, and only 6 signed-up for the challenge. ❯❯❯ S A H A 08:02, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There's over 1 billion Indians... Millions who speak English. India is one of the most active countries on English wiki. You can't expect the challenge to get hundreds over night. The Indian cinema one is 2000 articles and doing very well. For a nationwide one covering a big country it seems reasonable. Give it a month, if it doesn't pick up I'll lower it to 5000.† Encyclopædius 08:12, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ArnabSaha and Encyclopædius..Well, first there is nothing to hurry, we can take as much time as we can, the Asian challenge itself started in 2016 if I am not wrong. The whole motive behind the challenge is to improve as much as article possible. So, does not matter, if 10,000 or 5,000, what matters is that through such challenge and project we end up improving many article which are stubs or has not been updated or improved for a long time. If I am not wrong, correct me Encyclopædius if I am, the GA/FL/FA noms of Indian articles are very low so far by my knowledge. This will boost the quality articles too. In 2-3 months even if I see the project completes 15-20 %, I'll be very much happy. Dey subrata (talk) 10:14, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dey subrata, okay. and, how much old articles can be included? ❯❯❯ S A H A 13:09, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ArnabSaha, no limit, you just need to improve it, or if its a stub expand it to destub, if already a C or B category article...improve it to GA or FA. That's it. Dey subrata (talk) 17:05, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dey subrata, can i include the articles, i expanded ago? (like- shishir dua included chennaiyin fc) ❯❯❯ S A H A 17:33, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ArnabSaha Would be good if you just include articles which you've recently destubbed, expanded like double or tripple the existing length and improved, and improve does not mean just doing a few copy edits, improving an article significantly to improve it existing status, will be better if you can improve it to atleast B and if you can achieve GA or FA or for list a FL status would be very well. Removed his bhawanipur club inclusion for this reason, this is nowhere near to improvement. Dey subrata (talk) 18:04, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dey subrata, ok ❯❯❯ S A H A 10:05, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Adding in the list

I just wrote an article on Agastisvarar Temple, Killukudi and added in the list, as new by B Jambulingam. I wish to known if I can follow this method. Regards. --B Jambulingam (talk) 12:54, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

B Jambulingam, no you should not have added it here. I appreciate your effort but the article is a stub. For all users who are here, don't add stub pages in the challenge list even if it's a newly created article. Thank you all. Dey subrata (talk) 13:50, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dey subrata, I will not add stub pages. Regards. --B Jambulingam (talk) 05:32, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dey subrata, I wrote a new article on Manapparai Murukku. In the project page I entered this as new article. In the talk page of the article I wrote as "New article written for Wikipedia:WikiProject India/The 10,000 Challenge. Will be improved in due course.". I wish to know if I can follow this method. --B Jambulingam (talk) 07:18, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

B Jambulingam, does not seem like a stub. It's already a start class. Good to go. And the article talk page does not have any project and class defined, add it and no need to add the 10,000 challenge thing in the talk page. Keep improving and keep creating. Dey subrata (talk) 08:21, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dey subrata, Thanks and regards. --B Jambulingam (talk) 09:10, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Continuously for some days only I am writing. From the list, I found no other user has added any article. I wish to know if I can continue to contribute and add my article in the under WikiProject India/The 10,000 Challenge. Regards.--B Jambulingam (talk) 04:25, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Quality articles list

Keep in mind, add articles which are about India only. There may be some article like Sun bear which may cover India but about a bigger continental or sub-continental region, don't add those articles. It will be better if you add those to Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge.

While adding the article names add as mentioned below.

Sun bear, by Sainsf

Question

Dey subrata Encyclopædius, On which basis can I add an article in Article achievements? Authorship or Top editors? ❯❯❯ S A H A 15:21, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Destubbing
Created but not a stub.
Expanded significantly like twice and thrice the existing size of the article
Improving the article like improving significantly with citations, copyediting, cleanup to make a summarised one etc.
Improving the article to GA/FA/FL (or A) for the Quality articles list only.
DYK also for Quality articles list

Dey subrata (talk) 15:45, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes those but we can accept half decent stubs, but just no short stubs that's all.† Encyclopædius 16:26, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK ❯❯❯ S A H A 17:42, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject India/The 2000 Challenge (Indian cinema)

I propose we merge this into here and create a sub page for missing films. The challenge reached its original 1000 target and was extended to 2000.† Encyclopædius 18:42, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, I think many of the users here may take interest in some of the missing article. Dey subrata (talk) 19:05, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge ❯❯❯ S A H A 06:54, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Encyclopædius, if I am right, the old cinema articles that were listed, are not counted against the challenge. Or it is counted? Dey subrata (talk) 10:30, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I've included them. We may as well continue with that here now.† Encyclopædius 10:42, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can I add a draft I created in the list?

I have created a new draft that is not yet on Mainspace. Can I include it in the list?

Article in question - Draft:Jasleen Kaur harassment controversy - Amazingcaptain (talk) 14:41, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Only mainspace articles, thanks.† Encyclopædius 19:16, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Should I merge the individual incident articles into an article that lists all these incidents?

Hi,

List of alcohol poisonings in India has a list of alcohol poisoning incidents. All the articles of the incidents on these page are stubs. I'm planning to create Alcohol poisonings in India and list all the incidents in it. I'm not a very experienced editor so just want to confirm here, does that sound okay? Amazingcaptain (talk) 18:16, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Expanded to more than 1500 bytes but article still a stub?

Hi, I have expanded Adharma and now it's greater than 1500B however I still see the stub tag at the bottom of the page. Should it go away by its own or do I have to remove it? Amazingcaptain (talk) 19:15, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Amazingcaptain, removed the stub tag ❯❯❯ S A H A 19:43, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion 2

tbh, it seems like a THE MOVIES 10k CHALLENGE. ❯❯❯ S A H A 19:45, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hii all

Hi, I've created four new articles since the challanges has started. National agroforestry policy, Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana, Sadanand More, and National Policy on Skill Development As Iam not a participant to this challanege, can these articles be added to the list? Thanks in advance. (Repost - with valid signature) Santoshdts^[TalkToMe] 14:14, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes @Santoshdts:, they look fairly recent. Thanks! † Encyclopædius 14:47, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Improving existing articles

It's a bit discouraging that very few people seem to be actively working on improving existing articles...† Encyclopædius 11:35, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How to participate ?
