thread_title:  FM stations in Hyderabad 

message: Okay, the article on Hyderabad is fairly long and well fleshed out. If anybody is interested, I think it would be a good idea to perhaps come up with a to-do list and work to complete it. Things like missing information, things that would be good to have in the article that we presently don't, editing to be done, etc. This way, the article will be truly complete and be of a uniform quality.
Any ideas? who wants to start?
I think we need to rework the section on Hyderabadi food - it just touches on some of the specialties and then moves on.

But one more thing...... the charminar is the landmark of Hyderabad, so let's restore the 
charminar photo on the main Hyderabad page.
Let me know your comments.

message: Hi,
Removed several "also".  cleaned up IT section. It was looking like chicken and the egg. Did HITEC made hyderabadi get into IT, or Hyderabadi's into IT forced IT industry in Hyderabad to be created.
Needs more cleanup. Lite Lelo :)

thread_title:  Needs more cleanup 

message: The Hyderabadis got into IT after witnessing the success of the industry in Bangalore back in the late 90s. The state government, after a few brainstorming sessions, decided to promote the IT industry by creating necessary infrasturture for them. This led to the creation of HiTec city and changed the face and direction of Hyderabad. The State has since then tried to emulate this success in Textiles, Biotech and more interestingly: Sports and Entertainment. The Hyderabadis have evolved to accomodate the demands and change in pace of their lives that this tranformation has brought about to their city. A new generation of well-educated and young emigrants have transformed the culture of the city.
(Someone: Please verify this angle... and put a para about this in the article page.)

replies: text: I guess altitude depends on the place the measurement was taken. (How do we say some altitude is the altitude of Hyderabad). Banjara Hills altitude will be entirely different from Dilsukhnagar altitude --Vyzasatya 20:39, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

A) HyderabadAirport.com appears to be a cybersquatter, it is not official site of Hyderabad Airport. It is a site owned by WorldViewer.com. They have several sites registered under them.
B) Section may need a complete rewrite, with citing of sources.

thread_title:  Koti or Kothi? 

message: Hyderabad's primary languages should include Telugu, Deccani and Hindi and even English. Any  city of India, that claims to a cosmopolitan need to have Hindi and English in it... otherwise they are not cosmopolitan.
In my personal experience of Hyderabad, Deccani and Hindi are primarily spoken in Core Hyderabad (Koti, Old City, General Bazaar, and all the old areas). The newer area such as KPHB, Malakpet also have sizable population of Deccani and Hindi speakers, but Telugu is more widely spoken there.

message: There is a sizable sub-section of Hyderabadi society that appears to have been completely forgotten in this article. These include the tribal Banajaras and other such groups from the Telangana region who have existed here for centuries. I feel we need to include more info like this  in the main page.
Added a line about the Banjaras in Demographics... need to add more communities.

message: If anyone checks the history section they'll realise that Hyderabad was upgraded from the 7th largest 'metropolis' to the 5th over a period of a month. It gives the impression that the city had a recent massive population explotion :)
The truth is there is no proper official data for the Hyderabad Metropolitant area though by estimation it probably is the 4th largest city (I expect someone will shortly change the '5th' to '4th'.)
Hyderabad City on the other hand has an official population of 3 million plus based on the last census recently taken. This definately does NOT make it the 4th, 5th or even 6th on the population scale index. So the the whole numbers game is basically... well, add a idiotic word to this sentence.
