Accordingly, further discussion may not have taken place. Editors like me are continuing to create at least stubs about the districts of India. --Bhadani 13:19, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Naming convention for districts

[edit]

Are there any naming conventions for districts and towns with the same name. Most districts in India has a town with the same name in it. For example there are two articles in wikipedia called Kottayam and Kottayam District. There is a lot of redundant information in these two pages. Is it necessary? I believe we should discuss and implement wikipedia guidelines for indian town and district articles. If this discussion has already taken place please direct me to the same. --DuKot 20:38, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stubs

[edit]

All should try to contribute a little to our district pages so that pages relating to diffirent districts of India continue to grow. I shall again try to work a little in this direction. --Bhadani 14:11, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indian district project

[edit]

WikiProject India

[edit]

The following discussion is copied from WT:INB. Please respond there to keep the discussion centralised.

I think we should retire templates for the various Indian wikiprojects such as {{Wikiproject Indian districts}}, {{Wikiproject Indian cinema}}, {{Wikiproject History of India}} etc. and replace them all with {{WP India}}. It has various advantages over the others.

  • We can rate the articles - the rating counts appear on the WP:IND page as we do so.
  • Each of the above child projects can get exposure as the template can incorporate their names as well.
  • This will guide new people and other interested readers to a centralised project page and help us recruit better for the projects.
  • It will help rejuvenate the WP:IND. It has the lowest no. of members of all these projects.

These are just some thoughts. If there is agreement on this, we can start by replacing the templates on the project pages with the {{WP India}} template. -- Lost(talk) 18:18, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
