Wikivoyage:India Expedition

The India Expedition is a Wikivoyage Expedition to promote and coordinate collaboration to improve Wikivoyage's articles about India. Knowledge about places in India is welcome, because some articles are lacking in information. But even without knowing much about the destinations, you can help greatly just by copy editing and fixing format. If you'd like to join the effort, add your signature to the bottom of the page, or just plunge forward.

Rationale
India is the world's 2nd-largest country by population, well on the way to becoming the world's most populous, and it's also the world's 7th-largest country by area. Moreover, India is a prime destination for both business and leisure travelers, with a vital, fast growing economy and a wealth of culture, history and wildlife, fantastic regional cuisines and amazing geographic diversity. In addition to all of that, thanks to its strategically advantageous geographic location and proximity to multiple regional & global powers, India is a significant geopolitical power. According to Wikipedia, India also has the 2nd-largest number of English speakers in the world. So our articles about Indian destinations should be a showcase.

Instead, the standard of many highly visible articles about Indian destinations is very poor, with incorrect capitalization, spacing, punctuation, grammar and usage; irregular formatting; long lists of random and useless bulleted entries (including lists of "Cities" and "Other destinations" in non-bottom-level region articles that are way longer than the Wikivoyage standard of 9) without sufficient information to be useful to a traveller; touting; and sometimes, even poor comprehensibility.

Goals
(1) To bring the most visible articles about India up to at least an acceptable standard of Usability, and where possible, Guide status.

(2) To bring more articles about Indian destinations up to the level of a strong Guide, suitable for featuring on the front page as Destination of the month or Off the beaten path articles.

Current priorities

 * Make sure all the region articles linked from India are properly formatted and at an acceptable standard of English, and ideally, at Guide status
 * Make sure all state-level articles linked from these region articles are properly formatted and at an acceptable standard of English, and at least at Usable status
 * Improve the quality of the most visible and important city articles that either lack strong Guide-status articles or are huge cities requiring districting
 * Issues related to the number and quality of coverage of "Other destinations" listed in state-level articles should be methodically dealt with through discussions on state articles' Talk pages and appropriate edits to articles for states, articles about parks, et al.
