Coordinated creation of articles about LGBT pride marches in Indian cities all within a short time space of each other, all showing similar styles in creation and shortcommings. Articles are Gurgaon queer pride, Awadh queer pride]], Kolkata Rainbow Pride Walk, Bhopal Pride March, Chandigarh LGBT Pride Walk. Nothing wrong with the articles created per se, although some are small-ish and may not be notable on a global scale, although probably significant events in their respective communities. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 08:47, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

These edits were made during an editathon held on 17th June to bring Indian LGBT pride marches on Wikipedia. The participants are new to Wikipedia, hence they were being taught how to edit and they followed a format. Many of the articles are small because these cities have very recently started having pride marches and only limited information is available on them. Request not to delete these users and articles as it is important to bring small Indian cities who are having pride marches on Wikipedia for better representation. --Japleenpasricha (talk) 05:49, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

 * I'm going to assume good faith and accept ’s explanation, although I wish there were a way for other editors to know that new users are participating in an editathon.
 * So there's no confusion, though, I am going to list the other participants I found, in addition to Japleenpasricha and the four users already listed in this case:
