All locations articles should be adapted to the place in question, but the ideal article might include the following elements:
Include anything you think will be helpful to the researcher. Significant places of interest in a location may warrant their own section.
===External links===
Include any quality links you are aware of. Most articles will be able to link to relevant [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] articles and to the appropriate pages [[Imperial Gazetteer of [http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/Main_Page LoveToKnow 1911India]] (based on the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica). Where there are several links, consider organising them into sections (see [[Calcutta#External_Links|Calcutta]]).
===Categories===
*'''[[Google Books]]''' - free pdf copies of many old books.
*'''[[Imperial Gazetteer of India]]''' - provides histories, descriptions and facts for most locations.
*'''[http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia]''' - good for general facts. Many South Asia locations are covered but information on the colonial period is usually scant.
