Article Status To do
Mumbai Guide Good Guide article and Destination of the month in January, 2014. In discussion at Wikivoyage:Destination of the month candidates/Archive#Mumbai, it was observed that a lot of listings lacked latitude/longitude coordinates, but another problem is that the process of moving specific listings from this article to district articles has not been completed, for example in the "Eat" section.
Ahmednagar Outline Seems like an interesting place to visit, but the article needs more content, and the "Eat" section, for example, is not very usable given the lack of clear location identification.
Amravati Outline Quite lacking in information, and the weird spacing in "See" made me suspect at least part of the section was copypasta from somewhere, but the format is now correct. Also, do you really have to have a friend in Amvravati in order to stay there? Is anyone doing paid homestays?
Aurangabad Usable Most of the article is good, but listings in "Buy", "Eat", "Drink" and "Connect" need to be listified, with coordinates given, and "Go next" also needs work, as unlinked names with no travel information leave the reader in need of doing more research to get there. The article could also use some copy editing. Some words with INAPPROPRIATE Capitalization and problems of spacing, etc., are not hard to find. Aurangabad is quite an important and interesting destination, so bringing this article up to Guide level should be an important task.
Kolhapur Usable Somewhat improved and now Usable, but still needs more thorough listification/location data, images, and thorough copy editing.
Nanded Outline Messy, with a lot of blank space.
Nagpur Outline Greatly improved, but still not Usable because there are no "Eat" listings with contact info. Actual "Drink" listings would also be helpful, most hotel "listings" are just a name, but "See" and "Do" are listified with Geo.
Nashik Usable Has a lot of content, but still problematic because many listings still have either no description or no/insufficient location info. Some sections probably have overly long lists that are user-unfriendly, too (for example, "Eat" - dividing eateries into "Budget", "Mid-range" and "Splurge" and/or some other logical type of division might help). Also needs a pagebanner.
Pune Usable "Districts" section is confusing because there is no map to show readers where the districts are. More listings need coordinates, and some of the "Cultural centres" listed under "See" completely lack description. Everything in "Sleep" starting with "Camping" needs to be in "Go next." It would take a fair amount of work to turn this article into a Guide - that would require thorough copy editing as well as listification - but it could be done and could make an interesting DotM/otBP if it becomes good enough for a nomination.
