Wikipedia:WikiProject Bhubaneswar Temples

There appears to be a student project adding articles about temples in Bhubaneswar. This group is fervently requested to announce itself at 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 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.
