Naveen, I think COTM is not the place where red links can be developed into stubs, start of even B class articles.
The final outcome that we can hope for is that certain articles are : * Raised to FA/GA quality if not status (or at least) * Get improved by numerous edits (or at least) * Get improved due to numerous eye balls. The articles most likely to succeed are : * articles in the news * articles about popular subjects * articles about topics where large number of editors are interested * articles about subjects which people feel are important enough to get off their butts and edit * articles people feel passionate about That is why I think the waterway articles never took off. Look, even today nobody from WikiProject India - Transportation has converted them into stub or start. Can we ask for that to be done on "operational immediate" basis (fauji lingo for 'urgent') as a start?
