Article	Status	To do
Thiruvananthapuram	Usable	This long, highly substantive article could use a thorough copy edit. Many listings also require more location info, and a city map is also needed. Turning this article into a Guide is a somewhat labor-intensive project, but a very worthy one. This is a very significant city which is important in several ways and has a colorful history. Turning it into a featurable article and eventually a Dotm would be great and should be one of the priorities of this expedition.
Alappuzha	Outline	Quite an interesting place to visit. This article may technically be usable status now according to the criteria at Wikivoyage:City guide status. The article still needs thorough copy editing, and updating, but it is copiously illustrated and contains a good deal of information (there is more location info in listings, but more work is required), so that's a start. Houseboat tour companies are listed as a "Do" while others are listed as "Sleep". A discussion/decision should be made on whether these are considered a "Do" or a "Sleep". The "Go Next" is encyclopedic for some of the entries. There is a problem with the pagebanner: It's the same as Thiruvananthapuram's pagebanner, although the edit screen doesn't show that it should be; see post at Talk:Alappuzha. Needs its own pagebanner.
Kannur	Usable	This article is indeed Usable according to the criteria at Wikivoyage:City guide status. However, it feels like a wall of text and needs more images, including a pagebanner and a city map. Also, more listings need location info, and many of those that have location info could use more precise coordinates. The "Eat" and "Drink" sections have many descriptionless listings; "Go next" is blank.
Kochi	Guide	Guide and former Dotm feature. Looks very good but still might need light copy editing or updates.
Kollam	Outline	Interesting "Understand" section, but the article is not that user-friendly. Most of the "See" listings and quite a few of the other listings are more or less far out of town (should someplace 73 km east of Kollam be listed in "See" at all, rather than in "Go next"?); I question using solely alphabetical order for those. Should "See" be divided into "In and near town" and "Day trips", or some such? And is Kollam really mostly just a base for day trips, or is there a good reason to spend time there? That doesn't seem clear to this reader. The "Get around" section is blank as, less seriously, is "Connect." Also lacking are a pagebanner and a map (which should probably be an area map, given how many attractions are out of town). A thorough copy edit would help, too.
Kozhikode	Outline	Needs a thorough copy edit, update, and much more information! It's really not usable - most hotel listings lack any contact info. This is an important destination with great historical relevance to India's relationship with Europe. The condition of this article is an embarrassment, and making it Usable or at least substantially better should be a top priority for this expedition.
Palakkad	Outline	Seems like a nice area to visit, but the article is grossly lacking in information. Some more photos would be nice, too, but Commons doesn't have many photos of the area that are really worth looking at, at present.
Pathanamthitta	Outline	Contains a good amount of information but requires thorough copy editing, and a lot of listings completely lack location info. Also completely lacks images.
Thrissur	Outline	This content-laden article is not that far from Usable. It needs more location info and descriptions in quite a few listings, though, as well as thorough copy editing and updating, and it's lacking a pagebanner and city map.
