Talk:Tiruchirappalli

message: The article stated that as one of the oldest rocks on earth, Rock Fort is 3,800 years old. This is certainly wrong. The oldest rocks on earth are 4,000 million years old according to Press, Siever, Grotzinger and Jordan Understanding Earth. So I changed it to 3,800 million years.

Do we actually have any source confirming that some of the oldest rocks in the world are found on the outcrop that Rock Fort is built on? Adityan 01:15, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

message: the name tiruchirappalli is not from the jain monk.
it is absolutely a wrong information.
please remove the wrong data and put the correct one after a discussion with concerned people in trichy.

Trichy
29 June 2006: This is Thirumalai or srirangam_malai: I also agree to the point that Trichy has nothing to do with a Jain monk. I have updated with the real reason as "Thiru ShriRanganathan Palli", which I have heard from many elders. If somebody else can prove that the Jain Monk theory is wrong, we should delete it. thirumalai at gmail dot com
19 Oct 2006: This is Thirumalai or srirangam_malai: Back once again. It seems that somebody has deleted the real reason behind the name of the City, which is more convincing and real than the Jain monk one. By the way, in that Jain monk theory, what does "palli" means? The place where the jain monk slept? :-)
21 April 2007 : There are no known records of any Jain habitations or presence in Trichirapalli and no known records of any person by the name ' Chira '. ' Woriyur' which forms a part of the city was under the Chola influence since 300 BC . While the origins of the name are certainly debatable, linkage with a Jain monk ' Chira' seems to be the least probable.  Origins may be from ' Sila ' - meaning stone / hill ( referring to the Rock ) and ' palli ' - meaning - to sleep are more plausible.
Further, the terrain has a few large rocks - the Rock on which the 'Thayumaanavar temple and Ucchipilayar ' temple is located is one. The other significant ones are the  ' Golden Rock ' and the Malaikoil rock ( on which the Thiruerumbeeswarar temple' are located.
Regards
Murugavel
As a resident of trichy, I do know that the name has no relation to any Jain Monk. The below is the legitimate link showing the real name meaning
http://www.templenet.com/Tamilnadu/s132.html
the reason is as follows
Legend has it that Shiva was worshipped by the demon ruler Tirisiran, hence Tiruchirappalli, Tirisirapuram etc. Also, since the three peaks here on this hill are occupied by Shiva, Parvati and Vinayaka, the name Tri-Shikharam or Tirisirapuram came into being. Legend has it that Shiva in the guise of a woman (mother) attended to the call of a devotee in labor, hence Matrubhuteswarar.
I am new to wikipedia...and I am not able to modify it...someone please do it...Thanks

thread_title:  wrong information  

message: A (recent) contribution states that Tiruchirappalli has sanitation coverage of 70 percent. The report cited, however, lists an index, 59.02. The ranking - first in Tamil Nadu and sixth in India is correct according to the same report from the "National Urban Sanitation Policy." It is unclear whether 59.02 is a percentile or an index. I am hoping the contributor can clarify. -- Betasam - Talk 10:30, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia has an editorial policy against lists. Someone -- I will do it eventually if no one else does -- needs to create separate articles for the several long lists remaining in this one, provide a link, and eliminate those lists here. The article is supposed to read as a single, succinct, self-sufficient description or explanation, and long lists interrupt its flow.

replies: text: Earlier, I had moved the educational institutions to another page, only noting the notable ones here. Today, I have removed the list of hospitals and organizations, as there is no clear notable ones amongst them. If anyone wants to add those things, please add in a separate page, we can always add a link to that page from this page. This page is getting into better shape, so we cannot afford to have such lists here itself.--GDibyendu (talk) 08:34, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Support for GA 

message: The distances from Trichy to various places mentioned aren't correct. Distance between Trichy and Chennai is 316 km and not 325 km. 325 km the distance via bye pass road. i.e., you have to go to to the southern part of the city and go eastwards and again take north. I myself, a tiruchian have seen the distance plates in many places. Also the distance between Trichy and Madurai is 128 km and not 160 km. That distance seems like raechung Madurai via Dindigul. Its not a direct route between Trichy and Madurai. NH 45B takes you to Madurai from Trichy with a distance of 128 km from the heart of Trichy.--Thalapathi 15:31, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Maybe! But the best Wikipedia articles are ones which go by what "reliable published sources" say. Yeah, I completely agree with the fact that even published sources sometime differ with one another on distance-related stats. But, well, we might look at it later and might arrive at a consensus on what must be done about it. At present, I feel that we will look into issues which can be easily sorted than toil about with such complex issues.-The EnforcerOffice of the secret service 16:16, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Distances from trichy 

message: I observe that there has been a few unexeplained changes made to the content I had introduced in October 2010. According to the the latest version, the distance between the central bus station and the Chathram bus stand is given as 6 kilometre. However, the book provided as source only says that the two bus stations are situated close to each other. My last significant edit to the section as of October 3, 2010 also mentions the same. I also found a few other unexplained unsourced additions. So I am reverting the section to the older clean version.-The EnforcerOffice of the secret service 08:09, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

message: I've deleted the template for neighbourhoods and suburbs.

message: The article stated the literacy rate of the city to be 79 percent. But the source (published by Directorate of Census Operations  - Tamil Nadu) itself mentions it as 88.71 percent. Looks like the one who added the lit. rate has calculated considering the whole population. In India literacy rate accounts only for persons aged above six, so children below six years won't be considered irrespective of literacy. The city has 77,048 (11.41 percent of the population) persons aged below six years. Hope it's clear and I'm changing it to 88.71 as mentioned in the site. --Thalapathi (Ping Back) 05:01, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

message: User:Vensatry had added details for Trichy police district instead of Trichy city police district. I've replaced the same in the article. By the way, the urban agglomeration is not an administrative unit. I don't think details about the agglomeration should be added in administrative and politics section. The details about the UA is of little encyclopedic significance anyway. Other than demarcating what exactly trichy city is and for calculating the population, the stuff is of little value. We might probably move it to Geography of Tiruchirappalli article.-RaviMy Tea Kadai 15:39, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The article read, "The district is divided into five sub-divisions with a total of 18 police stations" before my revision which is totally wrong and that is why I changed it to 34. I feel there is nothing wrong in including details about urban agglomerations as we don't have a separate article for Trichy UA. However, I agree that it's irrelevant to add that in the "Administration and politics" section. —Commander  (Ping me)  16:08, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  No, I am not complaining :-). I had added the link to Trichy city police district long time back and the details for the same. I don't understand how come it was replaced by the URL for the  Trichy police district. Someone had sneaked in the middle and modified the stuff perhaps. We must better watch out what these anon IPs and newbies actually do.-RaviMy Tea Kadai 16:13, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

text:  Adding a list on the constituents of the UA would be a deviation from the subject. Also, it would set a bad precedent. Lists of UAs for some of the metros end up being too long. A list of town panchayats and municipalities which come under Chennai UA alone would consume 5 or 6 lines-RaviMy Tea Kadai 02:51, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree, but Trichy has fewer suburbs compared to other cities like Chennai. We don't have a separate authority like CMDA or an article for Trichy. So mentioning suburbs shouldn't be a problem. —Commander  (Ping me)  04:26, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

message: This photo that depicts the Alanganallur Jallikattu seems to be irrelevant to the article. There shall be a photo of artistic sculptures, may be from Srirangam temple, be placed in this section instead. --Essaar (talk) 08:50, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Srirangam temple is already depicted in the infobox - including photos of the same temple all over the article might lead to stereotyping  and neglect of other cultural and artistic elements of the city. I had chosen to add image of a Jallikattu because it has been mentioned as a sport that is considerably practised in the city. The other image I added was of a Muslim monument in the city - the Nadirshah mosque. But there were problems as the uploader had misrepresented the copyright status. I insist that a picture of Jallikattu remain - the caption is, of course, just Jallikattu and not Tiruchirappalli Jallikattu or anything of that kind. You are, however, welcome to take a photograph of a jalikattu tournament in the neighbourhood of trichy and add the same or upload any public domain image. But the choice of image has been done after a great deal of thinking and I justify my decision to include the same.-RaviMy Tea Kadai 07:17, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
