Special Task: Area by area specializations
Bangalore metropolitan region is changing rapidly. Businesses coming and going, new buildings being constructed and old ones being demolished. History is being lost with every strike of the demolition ball.
Here is how you can help. Pick an area in Bangalore, put your name/username next to it below and then start gathering all the information you can about that area. What businesses/residents are currently there, what was there in the past, what special events occured there. Put all the information you gather into Bangalorepedia articles. Try to limit yourself to one city area at a time, after you feel that you've found all you can, move onto another one.
City Area Assignments
Use the map below to determine what area you want to take and then put your username next to that area below in the section called "City area".
Tip: Keep in mind that the larger areas are probably deciptively hard. Just because they are large areas doesn't mean that a lot happened there over the years.

Articles that need more information
The following sections of articles need more information. Please look through the articles for articles that you can contribute to.
People
The Category:People article has the complete list of personalities that have an article on Bangalorepedia.
Neighborhood Associations
There are many neighborhood Associations connected to Bangalore through the department of Bangalore Metropolitan Region Development Authority (BMRDA). Bangalore Neighborhoods will soon be listing all neighborhoods in and near Bangalore.
Templates
The MediaWiki software that this wiki uses allows you to create templates that can then be used to quickly entering information. An example is on the Bangalore article. The city Infobox on the right side of the screen is a template. More of these templates need to be created for other categorized data like people, businesses, buildings, streets, weather data.
For now, Bangalorepedia is maintaining a static list of Available Templates.
Places to start your research
Often times people need help nailing down facts and finding information that is available. This is especially difficult when there is so little information online about any small city. We have created the Research Resources to provide a jumping off point to find resources that you can use to find factual information.
