There appears to be a student project adding articles about temples in Bhubaneswar. This group is fervently requested to announce itself at Wikipedia:School and university projects and expand this page with more details so that we may give them centralised advice. They can do it in Pune and other places - see Wikipedia:India Education Program. Why cannot you do it in Bhubaneswar?

The majority of these submissions are of extremely poor quality - usually copyright violations from PDFs on the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts website.

Please consider the suggestion that rather than an article for each individual temple, they should be treated on the basis of one article for each temple complex - with redirects from the names of each temple.

See User talk:Srcximb for other suggestions.

Coverage

All new contributors to wiki under this project, please note the following

Notability - currently i see lot of articles for individuals shrine within a temple. Have articles for the temple as a whole.
Published references - do not copy paste contents from single source or website. Always note this is a encyclopedia.
Category, infobox and templates - use all these carefully. A small typo in the infobox will make the page look wayward.
Preview all articles before publishing.

A good example of such an article - Brihadeeswarar Temple I am in the process of categorizing the Hindu temples in Orissa - will jump to editing individual articles subsequently.

Pictures

Due to licensing the pictures are getting removed day by day. Please check wikimedia commons and update the relevant licenses. This is for uploads by Dr. Sadasiba Pradhan and team.

Initial Review of articles

I have reviewed all the temples under .

There are 30 temples out of the 130 that are worth expanding.

Temples under merger category - I have marked all mergers inside all of these.

Notability Required - Most of these are not worth expanding or worth having articles. These can be discussed.

There are some marked for deletion and can be suitably taken for deletion.

I will start expanding on the 30 specified, others can jump in S Sriram 01:08, 24 September 2011 (UTC)ssriram_mt
