thread_title:  Redirect? 

message: In all honesty, I found this article to be extremely poor. The author's grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and spelling are atrocious. For example, is it Katsbann or Katsbaan? Palantine or Palatine? In one instance, because of poor wording, the author literally suggests that the Coast Guard (spelled "coastguard" in the article) fell into a "decay state" after 1954. Other examples of shoddy writing abound in this article; for instance:
"In 1909, in terms of the lighthouse, in the tower a fog bell was installed. Then in 1940 the lighthouse was in dire need of repair in which the town did supply, In the late 1940s in terms of electricity, telephones were added in the town as well as steam heat."
"February 7, 1891 was the first time in Saugerties, New York history that the Electric Light and Power Company turned on the electricity for the first time."
In terms of substance, the author barely scratches the surface. The article focuses on the lighthouse to great extent, yet completely neglects landmarks such as Seamon Park and Opus 40. The latter is represented by a photograph, but no text is supplied to explain its significance. Indeed, the vast majority of the article must be considered questionable, considering that there are virtually no citations or references. The downright careless presentation grants the article little credibility. 
I opened this article with the intent to learn a bit of my hometown's rich history; instead I was confronted by a parody seemingly written by an elementary school student.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.161.3.107 (talk) 23:02, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article is terrible. 

message: Lack of citations is bad all right but putting "[citation needed]" after every single statement is pretty irritating. In fact, it doesn't contribute anything because if there's no citation, one can assume that one is needed. DyNama (talk) 06:45, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: With all due respect, DyNama, it seems to me that the utilization of citations is not obvious to the authors here or they would have included them. Perhaps adding citations is a big mystery to them (I can't blame them for that). If so, the authors could always have added them to this Talk Page for others to include in the article, but they did not. Yours, Wordreader (talk) 01:03, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

message: This is wikipedia. Not a blog. Rather not have an article on Oberois at all. Pity i am not very knowledgeable on the origins of the "clan" else i would have taken over tis article. When did Oberois get to be patriotic and highly decorated/honored whatecver. Name one decorator armyman named Oberoi. Name one freedom fighter named Oberoi. Patriotic is such a subjective word.
Any estimation on the number of Oberoi families? i read in the "indian caste system" article that Khatris is supposed to be the original Kshatriya clan or sect. I guess Oberois started off as a warrior clan and then turned into vaishyas or trader class. This i'm talking about varnas and not castes. When did the clan really originate. When was it first documented or mentioned in writing?
How did Oberois get that name?
Who played what important role in forming the Khalsa. 
And what is this bullshit - Jagdeep Uberoi, Legend. Who wrote this f***king crap??!!??

Talk:Pallar

message: Remove "Tamil" in the introduction's "Today, they are the dominant Tamil community of southern Tamil Nadu and have developed a reputation for being assertive about their rights." Pallar, which is a sub-caste of Devendra Kula Vellalar is not a Dalit community. As a matter of fact, this community has been staging struggle to change such perception and reclaim their rightful status in the society which was wrongfully changed in the past. Also, "Dalit," which is associated with the Varna system cannot be applied to Tamil communities as Varna system was never exercised in Southern India. There was no equivalent of Dalits in the Tamil community, as the community never exercised a vertical classification system, but a horizontal one, which is present in Tolkappiyam (an ancient Tamil text), which also mentions the term "Vellalar." The Pallar community considers this unjust and a transgression to use the term "Dalit" to refer to them. Hence, it is a kind request to remove the word "Dalit" as mentioned initially. 146.196.34.230 (talk) 22:39, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Paraiyar

message: Another reason for groupism came from the profession followed by the differnt groups. As people changed professions, they also had to change names to reflect those professions. However they needed to differentiate themselves from people who were already using those professional names. So as people took up farming they had to call themselves Vellala. However since other groups were using Vellala as title, different groups with additional names were created. Thus were created the various groups of Vellala.

thread_title:  Subdivision origin 

message: Hi Editors, Untouchability is abolished by Constitution of India. Calling a particular section of people as Untouchable is a criminal offence. The concept untouchability itself has various dimensions and view points. The word untouchability not exists in Tamil culture and it is a practice of Vedic Brahminic culture. Vedic brahminic culture was spreaded by Aryan invaders around 1500 BCE. Aryans came to India through khyber and Polan pass around 1500 BCE. Before that there is no caste hierarchial divisions. The Invading Aryan race created divisions among the indigeneous people to reduce the strength and to win their culture.So please be careful while using the word "Untouchable" because it is only a view point from Hindutva Brahminsim and in Tamil culture there is no caste differences. Even many Tamil literatures will clearly indicates this.--JohnPhilipsDM (talk) 11:55, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

However, ALL of my recent mapping (several AA Road Atlases, recent OS sheet, www.getamap.co.uk, www.streetmap.co.uk, www.multimap.com, and of course, the signs on the ground) confirms that the road through Castleton is now the A6187.Richard B 20:33, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

The spirit that counts so long as it's accurate. IF you want to be pedantic, you could say the A625 no longer reaches the A6 but just finishes at Calver... The point is: the road goes to Chapel/Frith even if the number's been reallocated.
Here is the A625:
Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 23:54, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Let's be clear about something. Most declassified roads do not retain the old road number. The only case where it would is if there is a concurrency. That is not the case here. Roads are most frequently renumbered when a bypass is built around a town/village. The old route loses it's old number, and is renumbered to something else, or even declassified. The new bypass becomes part of the route defined by the road number. The highways authority has completely re-routed part of the A625, so that it now no-longer runs through Castleton, instead heads south and terminates on the A623 at Calver. The road no-longer goes to Chapel-en-le-Frith. The A6187 at Castleton is no more the A625 than this street is part of the A34. Now, I'm not saying at all that we should ignore that the A625 used to run through Castleton and around Mam Tor, in fact, that's one of the most interesting aspects of this road. But we do also need to recognise that it has now been re-routed. If you believe otherwise, I'd like to see a citation. Richard B 00:19, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: First, mixed languages do exist, even if clear examples are rare. Second, this article does not claim that Urdu descends from Persian, Arabic or Turkish, merely that there are many borrowings from these languages in Urdu. Of course, Urdu is Indo-Aryan; the influence from Persian (etc.) is merely lexical. That said, there are highly Persianate registers of Urdu, taken to extremes in Qaumi Tarana, which can be described with some justification as factually "hybrid" in some sense, even if Urdu is not recognised as a genuine mixed language, pidgin or creole. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 18:33, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
