Wikivoyage:India Expedition/Uttar Pradesh

Cities (from city list in the Uttar Pradesh article)
{| border=1 ! width=175px | Article ! width=75px | Status ! To do
 * Lucknow
 * style="background:#fff38e;" width="100px" | Usable
 * This article is now Usable and much improved (as of 24 November 2015). It still needs copy editing and could use more photos, but it is no longer in critical condition.
 * Agra
 * style="background:#fff38e;" width="100px" | Usable
 * Much improved in the last few months (as of 24 November 2015). Restaurants still need addresses, telephone numbers if possible, "Buy" listings still need to be Wiki-listified. However, the rest of the problems I saw in December 2014 have been remedied. The article looks much better but still has a ways to go before it's at Guide level.
 * Ayodhya
 * style="background:#f8ba87;" width="100px" | Outline
 * "Sleep" section is a disaster, just grossly lacking in information. "Eat" is totally inadequate.
 * Bareilly
 * style="background:#f8ba87;" width="100px" | Outline
 * A completely pathetic article. Since it's the 10th city in the list, I will remove it, but the article is embarrassing and should be fleshed out at least a bit.
 * Jhansi
 * style="background:#fff38e;" width="100px" | Usable
 * A lot of listification has been done, though clearer location info would help. "Jhansi Season Summary" table is irregular, though helpful. Has a few (seemingly 4) footnote-style external links that need to be converted. But the main issue is that it needs thorough proofreading and copy editing. So though the article is Usable, it's really not in good shape as something to read.
 * Kanpur
 * style="background:#f8ba87;" width="100px" | Outline
 * Has only 1 image, no pagebanner or city map. But the main issue is that most of the listings don't contain enough information for travellers to be able to find them easily. I deleted loads of touting in the "Sleep" section, but it's still a problem that there are 3 identical descriptions in the "Drink" section.
 * Mathura
 * style="background:#f8ba87;" width="100px" | Outline
 * No content in "Get around," inadequate lede: Mathura is a very historically important city. If nothing else, some of the basics from Wikipedia could be paraphrased.
 * Prayagraj
 * style="background:#f8ba87;" width="100px" | Outline
 * Lots of listification has been done, but the article is still not Usable because no "Eat" listing has any contact information; "Eat" is the section that looks to need the most work. "Go next" still has several unexplained red links, which thereby are not really usable.
 * Sarnath
 * style="background:#f8ba87;" width="100px" | Outline
 * Nice little article, but needs expanding; lacking in some sections. Downgraded to Outline on 11 November 2015, due to lack of clear directions to any "See" listing.
 * Varanasi
 * style="background:#fff38e;" width="100px" | Usable
 * List of useful trains is irregular for Wikivoyage and not nearly as helpful as a timetable would be, but best to just mention the basics and leave the reader to look up details on the Indian Rail website. Listings need location info; there are a few that lack such info and should be removed unless it can be added. This article is much improved and on its way to becoming a Guide, but will require some more hours of hard work to turn it into one. A more ambitious but attainable goal is to try for a Destination of the Month nomination, but that's still quite a few hours of hard work in the future.
