For WikiProject India

 * 1) The class parameter determines the maturity of the article. Rate it as "start". It needs a copyedit to progress beyond start.
 * 2) The importance is how important the article is to India. In the overall context, lakes are not very important. So depending on the significance, rate it as "mid" (Dal Lake, Chilika Lake), and rest "low".
 * 3) The geography=yes determines that this article is a part of the WP India geography task force. All Indian lakes come under this workforce.
 * 4) Depending on the importance to India's geography, you can rate the geography-importance= with the following: >> low || mid || high || top << (Be conservative with the "top" ratings for articles)
 * 5) protected-areas=yes add this field only if the lake comes under a designated national park, wildlife sanctuary, or any other such government-notified protected area. You can omit this tag if not used.
 * 6)  himachal=yes This tag add the article to the WP Himachal task force. (This is in context for Maharana Pratap Sagar). All states and union territories have a tag, and you can add more than one state. eg maharashtra=yes (Note that mumbai=yes and chennai=yes can also be added)
 * 7) himachal-importance= (Again, rate it how important it is to HP) (Similarly with protected-areas-importance)
 * 8) needs-infobox=yes -- Only add this if there is no infobox available
 * 9) image-needed=yes --  Only add this if there is no free image available
 * 10) assess-date=November 2008 -- Add the current month and year to this parameter

For WikiProject lakes
Rate the importance. If the lake is internationally notable (maybe the world's largest freshwater etc, you can rate it as high or even top)

If no photos are available
In addition to the image-needed=yes field in the WP India banner, below the project banners, you can also add:

(so that people in Mumbai can add photos.)

For more than one location try this:

(up to 20 locations supported)

If geocordinates are unavailable
In the article (not the talk page) just above the categories listed at the bottom of the page, add:

Also add the required sub category for the state as listed here: Category:Indian location articles needing coordinates. Example see Air Force Area (Gorakhpur) has "Uttar Pradesh location articles needing coordinates"

Summary
To sum it up, this is what a talk page could look like in edit mode:
