Hi all,

Gateway of India was the article chosen as the Collaboration of the Month(COTM) for the month of April 2012. Here’s how things went by.

• Initially, there was very less activity on the article. It seemed that the COTM would be a complete flop untill User:Karthikndr came up with some good edits in the third week and then the article picked up. Thus, what seemed to be an unsuccessful COTM, was actually a successful one. The article was also selected for the edit-a-thon organized on the 22nd of April which got some significant contributions.

• Some statistics -

• There was quite some improvement to the lead section. Three new sections - “Design and Structure”, “Significance” & “Terror Attacks” were added. Number of references increased from 2 to 34!! Grammar and tone of the article was also worked upon.

• Significant contributions were made by User:Karthikndr and User:AroundTheGlobe and have been awarded barnstars. Referencing and content increase was due to the efforts of these editors. Other editors who helped the article in shaping up were User:Jobin RV, User:Hisham, User:Netha Hussain, User:Rsrikanth05 and User:AshLin. They have been awarded WikLoves :)

• Tripura was the article selected for GA/FA of the month. The article has improved quite well. While the number of references doubled, the sections - “Geography and Climate” , “Flora and Fauna” saw expansion. Basics (reference style, reliable sources, planned coverage) are well covered and the article is pretty close to GA nomination. Perhaps, some work can be done in the coming days and we’ll have a GA! :)

• Major work was done by User:Dwaipayanc and a barnstar was awarded for his contribs. WikiLoves were sent to User:Karthikndr and User:Jobin RV for their contributions.

That’s all for April 2012 folks :) See you all for the next month’s COTM - President of India

Warm Regards,
