or Mysore district alone should be there. So I have tagged the same.

message: Who is Mr pradeep to add or remove tags from wiki?
If I am right,no one can remove anything from wiki until further announcement to other members on this page! this is just not right. To observe and witness the Tipu Sultan urs you should be present in mandi mohalla and asoka road.where you can observe this event and i cant imagine how mysoreans are unaware of this event. I am adding this source from a leading newspaper AND for pity's sake dont say its Propoganda and that Meena bazaar and Sawday road does not exist! Why have you targeted this area specifically and to my knowledge there are many additions in "Mysore page" without proper references.This is an appeal to all members on this page."Make Mysore beautiful" i.e dont take off anything that does not belong to you!

Nazia, I will help you in your task and by the way your points are worth considering in this page. I have noticed " vernacular press" in the page and its sounds stupidity. I agree what Mohan has said.

An appeal
:I have noticed that changes to the document are made without cause or concern. Some sections (Demographics) for instance are being modified without any conclusive references or proofs. Please refrain from adding elements which do not qualify. Also, please don't use numerals in a document about a city (Example: 10). 
::This document is a testament to the wonderful city of Mysore which I proudly can claim as home. I request you all to pay attention to the sections and documents that are being introduced. I am planning a overhaul of this page soon, under this I am proposing:
* Move the noted people page to People of Mysore City.
:This will allow for the inclusion of short bio's of the people and inclusion of various historical figures.
* Create a seperate History of Mysore City page from elements of this page and this []
* Create a seperate Festivials and Events of Mysore page.

message: We have been having a discussion in the Kannada language Wiki] about why DVG has been included in personalities from Mysore. 
DVG grew up in Kolar district, and spent most of his later life in Bangalore. The only years he spent in Mysore were when he was in high school. imho that is not enough to classify him as a personality from Mysore. He should be in a list of personalities from either Bangalore or Kolar (or both). I have removed his name from the list in this article. --ashwatha 22:00, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  DVG 

message: I propose removing the Noted People section as this does not make much sense and is prone to favoritism/controverises. How much a person is famous is a relative thing and to be frank having stayed in Mysore for nearly 6 years, I hardly recognise some of the names mentioned there. It is an unnecessary list that is prone to grow in length and occupy page space. What do you guys say? -- User:Amarrg 11:35, Dec 7, 2005 (UTC)
I agree. Maybe before adding the names to the list, the contributor should discuss the proposed names here. We can possibly come to a consenses... - Wikicheng 12:10, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The names can be spun off into a new page. Until then, please read up on the history of these 'famous' people. Even after staying in mysore for two decades, I am surprised to see some names which make it to the list. But neither can I question that these people were great --Pradeep 15:40, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have removed Hyder Ali from the list, to keep it contemporary and to avoid adding all the Maharaja's of Mysore and few more historical figures.--Pradeep 15:51, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Where's Snake Shyam's name in the list of 'famous' people of this city??!!!Any kid in the city recognise him (much more than the people listed ), if that's what is meant by being famous :)---Pratheepps 10:17, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've added Snake Shyam, hope this is OK, as he is one of the most recognisable & famous persons of this city.Pratheepps 13:45, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Noted people 

message: Please don't make ad-hoc statements while editing the articles. Statements like it takes 3 hrs (I can confidently say, I have traveled in 2 hrs to mysore from bangalore). And Amplitude modulation is old, cannot be supported. Also please don't add external links directly into the article. All these can stand in the way of 'Mysore' becoming a FA. --Pradeep 15:40, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ad-Hoc additions 

message: Hi
This is an informal poll, please vote for the streets and non-tourist locations to be covered in this article. Please note, if you can get pictures of the same or interesting facts (like when it was built, important people, places) it will be more interesting. I am voting for the following
#Devraj Urs Road (Commercial Street)
#Sayji Rao Road (Commercial Street, CAVA)
#City Hall (I think this is one of the most oldest buidlings in Mysore)
#Iriwin Road (Bus Stand, Masjid, K. R. Hospital, Railway Station)
This can be added to a seperate page, with a brief write up appearing in the main page (If you are reorganizing something already on this page, please add a main article and a brief write up on the main page). --Pradeep 02:09, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I am not sure why KB Ganapathy's name was removed. He is the editor of the largest circulating dailies in Mysore. I am reverting the edit. --Wikicheng 03:55, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Noted people 

message: I think  Mr pradeep wants an ideal picture painted and does not want reality to intrude. He did the same thing to me in another article. I disagree with his point of view. I believe people are more interested in reality than a fantasy about India. In any case, we write about what we can get reliable verifiable references about -- and I consider The Hindu to be a reliable verifiable source.
No one "owns" this article.  ABSmyth 00:13, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Control over article 

message: The article misses "Famous people of mysore" like Mirza ismail, K B ganapathy, R.K. Laxman, N.R. Narayana Murthy, Tipu Sultan should be added. "Culture" should also include festivals of all faiths.

thread_title: Famous person from mysore

message: Please don't communalise this artile , the whole world knows that india is secular and festivals of all faiths and religions are celebrated in all towns and citis, so why tell that in culture and demographics of Mysore that there is a mosque and muslims in mysore., let the article highlight the real Mysore, the cultural capital of Karnataka.--Ganesha1 14:40, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mysore 

message: The move of this article is entirely premature - do you know how many hits "Mysuru" gets on Google? A grand total of 850, as opposed to nearly 6 million for Mysore. Wikipedia should reflect current English language usage, it is not a tool for persuading people to back a controversial and narrow-minded renaming policy. None of these Karnataka articles should have been moved: since when has the Government of Karnataka had the right to dictate English language usage? All these places were known by their Kannada names in Kannada anyway. Attempting to force the use of these forms in English is highly politicised and reflects a narrow ethnic and linguistic chauvinism, just as it was when the Shiv Sena changed Bombay to Mumbai. If popular usage shifts to "Bengaluru" and "Mysuru" then fine, but "official" policy has no bearing on this whatsoever. It's Moscow, not Moskva, Florence, not Firenze, Germany, not Deutschland. Why the blazes should Indian names be any different? Sikandarji 10:34, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've reverted several 'Mysooru's to Mysore, and changed the reported name change to what it was in the report, Mysuru, not Mysooru. For the initial spelling I've replaced it with Maisūru so that there is a formal phonetic spelling. Imc 09:11, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have changed Native_name to Mysooru from Mysore. I feel that Mysuru will be pronounced with a short u and hence it is wrong. With 'oo', there should be no confusion. But if you want to change it to Mysūru or Maisūru, then it is fine, but it has to ne with a ū rather than a u -- WikiCheng | Talk 05:26, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Native English speakers are genetically incapable of pronouncing 'uru' with a short 'u'. Jokes aside, I don't think that there are any English words of that pattern, that are pronounced with a short u before r; when there are imported words they are either lengthened (rarel), or changed to other vowels (e.g. Turk, Kurd), or both (durian, Ural).
